Hey! Can you do YouTube? Supposedly this is the full show. I didn't check it. Wait. It's not legit. Sorry.

I looked on YouTube but have not been able to locate it there.

It was on ABC which you get in a standard cable package (if you have cable). 

Since it didn’t air on Citytv it won’t be streaming in Canada unless it comes to Disney+.

Yeah, that was a scam, dadgummit. 

Is it on HULU in Canada? It is here in the US

Hulu isn’t available internationally. Its content is made available through Disney+ outside of the US.

I've been watching & waiting to see if anyone was going to notice a little something. So, now, you can Monday morning quarterback it!

The show used a Guest Director, someone who works for Disney. He directs DWTS & awards shows. Not at all familiar with Daytime. Frank had to fight him to keep in the Bob Miller classic wedding gown sequence.

Discuss!

It was garbage 

I'm surprised we didn't get: "Up Next, the stars of ABC's newest hit comedy, 'Abbott Elementary,' share their favorite GENERAL HOSPITAL memories!".  And I love Sheryl Lee Ralph, but I really don't care whether she was a Bryan/Claudia fan BITD.
