Beginning Monday, May 25, and running through Friday, June 12, ABC will re-air Nurses Ball related episodes of “General Hospital” in place of original episodes. The final official original episode produced before production shutdown in March will air on Thursday, May 21. This marks the first time that the network will air re-runs of the series in place of originals for longer than one week. The series last aired three consecutive re-runs in August 2018 unrelated to a holiday break or breaking news event.

“Without question, the Nurses Ball remains fictional Port Charles’ most glamorous charity event,” the network said of its choice in airing episodes surrounding the popular event. “Dedicated to HIV/AIDS awareness and research, the Nurses Ball features exquisite red carpet fashion, original music, awe-inspiring musical and dance performances, and plenty of intrigue, excitement and drama.” The network hopes fans will “relive the magic, music and mayhem as ABC reaches into the vault to showcase some of ‘General Hospital’s’ greatest hits from the Nurse’s Ball.”

The first week of episodes will be a combination of the 2014 and 2015 Nurses Balls. The Monday, May 25 episode (#13053) kicks off the 2014 festivities which will air through Wednesday, May 27 (#13055), and features such song and dance numbers as “Welcome to the Nurses Ball” performed by Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo) and Felix Dubois (Marc Anthony Samuel), and a special performance of “Willkommen” from “Cabaret” performed by Dr. Liesel Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). On Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29 (#13296 and 13298), the 2015 Nurses Ball episodes surround Brad’s (Parry Shen) proposal to Lucas (Ryan Carnes), Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) putting a hit on Jordan (then played by Vinessa Antoine) and Spencer (Nicolas Bechtel) receives a surprise visit from a loved one.

Previously, the network announced that it would air original episodes of “GH” through Thursday, May 21, with Friday episodes slated as “Flashback Friday.”

    • Source for this? Especially since Benz was already on AMC as Linda Connor.

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
    • I always wondered if Jackie wasn't going to be recast after being persumed dead... if Marland was going to pair Evie and Justin as a couple reunited in grief over Jackie's death. The one consistent thing I noticed about Evie during those months she was still on the show was that she was kind of a second mother to Phillip after Jackie's 'death' and Elizabeth no longer on the canvas.   But then one of the three interim writer teams decided to pair up Helena with Justin.. which left Evie even less to do than she had at the start of 1983. You're right that Evie was a unique character on the soap.  She was sweet and trusting, yet she had a quiet strength that made it difficult to push her around (at least when the Dobson's were writing her).  The Ben/Amanda/Eve triangle was an interesting triangle because neither of the women were evil... and Ben did have chemistry and a connection with both women.   It had a pretty decent run from 1978/9 to 1982 before Amanda was spun off into her mother's new marriage to Mark as the other woman.
    • Lots of fast-forwarding in today's episode. The best parts were the Lulu and Tracy scenes and Chase in the tank top. And once again, a horrible cliffhanger with Sonny.
    • A very very brief excerpt from a CBS special is up. That's it. @jam6242 Thank you for the lovely Susan article. I adore that photo of her with Denise - such strong yet different personalities on display.  I remember seeing that photo of Denise, Bill and Susan on soap magazines like Afternoon TV. I wonder if they took it or if DAYS did.
    • I think Joss does know the material and maybe just plagiarized some of Emma's data?   Despite all her actions I do think the show pretends Joss is smart and this class is sort of in her new wheelhouse as a degree. Gio playing Carmen was super high pitched to me.  He's a talented musician but that was screechy lol. TBH, we all know I love Sonny to a fault, but I would rather stare at Rebecca Herbst's opening picture for an hour than listen to Sonny and Jason blather on about giving up the mob.  You can't even try to fake me out at this point.
