A sitting or former United States president has been indicted on criminal charges for the first time in our nation’s history. As a result, the Tuesday, April 4 episode of “General Hospital” was preempted by ABC due to ongoing ABC News coverage of the historic event. The episode is now scheduled to air on Wednesday, April 5, and pushes all previously scheduled episodes forward by a day.

Additional preemptions are likely as the case progresses after the criminal indictment against former President Donald J. Trump was unsealed on Tuesday, which included 34 felony counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, NPR reported.

Trump appeared for his arraignment in a Manhattan courtroom at around 2:28 p.m. ET and left at 3:25 p.m. He sat between his lawyers, Joe Tacopina and Susan Necheles, while officers from the NYPD stood behind him.

“Today’s unsealing of the indictment shows that the rule of law died in this country,” Tacopina told the media outside the courthouse. “If this man’s name was not Donald J. Trump there is no scenario we’d all be here today.”

A grand jury agreed to indict Trump after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg presented evidence of multiple allegations against the former president, including orchestrating a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election, claims of payment to women who were intimately involved with Trump, including an alleged $130,000 payment to silence Stormy Daniels

    • Considering Naomi/Jacob are helping with June... and that she and Jacob have a complicated history with Hayley.. there is more soap opera potential having June and Hayley being related.    This is the downside of the show having one huge extended family... anyone not related to the family are boxed in a corner (i.e. Ashley/Derek, Tomas, Hayley/Bill).   If this were a 30 minute soap, I could understand the one family focus.. but this an hour soap so we best be getting a second family and/or characters not connected to the Duprees unless through work/romantic.. etc.
    • That guy also abused Beth (the one Lizzie killed), which the show probably should have done more with rather than just giving her a split personality and having her do whatever the plot demanded.
    • Thanks @slick jones I should mention that someone on the comments for the Ryan's Hope video with Susan Marie Snyder said the episode must have aired in July 1985. Those photos of Denise Alexander are lovely. The one with Denise, Leslie Charleson and Susan Brown got me emotional. We were so lucky to have them for so long.
    • It's just an absolute mess, and at this point, I genuinely do not know if anyone could turn the ship around. It feels like we're too far gone from what would be familiar for this soap. Genuinely.
    • It’s pretty much become the anti-soap. Bascially the show has rolled back to where it was in 2021, where absolutely zero drama occurred and actually I don’t recall anything memorable occurring at all. Substitute Dumas for Ashland Locke and it’s the same thing all over again. At least we have no strange creepy story about Abby this around I suppose?
    • It's far too much slow, smoked-flame. It's bad soap telling. SO bad.
    • And then, to finish up the story: Phillip returned to Springfield several years later to clear his good(-ish) name in some ridiculous retcon that is best left forgotten...Beth couldn't accept that Phillip had returned to his family against her wishes, so she divorced him, went wacko and hooked up with jerk whom their grade school-aged daughter later offed...Rick married and divorced Annie in Chicago, I think, and did some other stuff that I tuned out of (on account of being disgusted with the show) before he realized he couldn't get arrested in Hollywood and came back...and AFAIK, Neil Everest stayed dead, but his daughter did not; and in fact, she went on to become a trailblazing, multiple Grammy-winning artist under the name "Billie Eilish."
    • I agree in a sense, but I think in some cases that was down to the actors. When some of those actors, like Kate Mulgrew, left, some of the issues with the writing came to the fore.  There were complex characters who were well-written and acted, like Jill, but many times we would end up with "good" characters I wanted to kick off a cliff. It's one of the reasons I was so protective toward Delia when Randall Edwards played her.
    • Same and it’s a [!@#$%^&*] disappointing disaster!!!   Basically me trying watch each episode
