It’s Thanksgiving Day in the United States, and most soap fans are preparing to serve turkey, stuffing (or is it dressing?), pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, and many other festive dishes. Sadly, some of your favorite daytime dramas will either be preempted, serving up repeats or in the case of one show, airing an all-new episode thanks to its streaming availability.

On CBS, both “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” will be preempted on Thanksgiving Day (November 28) due to CBS Sports coverage of NFL games, particularly Chicago Bears at Detriot Lions. Later in the day, the network will carry NCAA College Football where Arkansas will face Illinois. On Friday, November 29 (Black Friday), CBS will continue airing NCAA Big Ten Conference Football games, with Minnesota at Wisconsin. 

On both days, a repeat of “The Price is Right” will air on the East Coast but will be preempted on the West Coast. “Let’s Make a Deal” and “The Talk” are both preempted on the two days.

Over at ABC, the network will air a repeat “General Hospital” on Thanksgiving Day with episode #15511, originally aired on July 19, 2024. The holiday will also see the network carry a repeat of “The View” and an all-new episode of “GMA3: What You Need to Know.”

General Hospital

On “General Hospital,” the episode sees Carly (Laura Wright) and Jason (Steve Burton) continuing to celebrate Jason’s newfound freedom on the footbridge, which is where they discuss what to do about Sonny (Maurice Benard) now that Jason has completed his assignment for the FBI. Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) hands Trina (Tabyana Ali) something that fell out during the move into their new apartment – the turtle dove Spencer gave her. While remembering her lost love, a teary-eyed grows frustrated with her inability to move on from Spencer. Josslyn has news for Trina: her grief will never truly go away. 

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Cody (Josh Kelly) and Tracy (Jane Elliot) are surprised when James (Gary James Fuller) stops by asking why he’s no longer allowed to take riding lessons with Cody. Meanwhile, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) are forced to pick up James after Cody realizes he walked to the stables on his own. Later, Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) joins Cody where he frets about being shut out from Mac’s (John J. York) life. Hoping to encourage him, Sasha tells Cody to hold that the situation can be salvaged.

Later, Laura (Genie Francis) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) cross paths while paying a visit to a still-comatose Lulu, and Tracy finds Gio (Giovanni Mazza) in the nook helping himself to a late night snack. While spending time with the young man, Tracy finds herself charmed by him.

On Friday, November 29 (Black Friday), a repeat of “The View” will air on the East Coast. However, the talk show will be preempted on the West Coast due to ESPN on ABC sports coverage of NCAA College Football, specifically Oklahoma State at Colorado. “GMA3: What You Need to Know” and “General Hospital” will be preempted for College Football. 

Days of our Lives

Lastly, “Days of our Lives” will be the only daytime drama series featuring all-new episodes on both Thanksgiving Day (November 28) and Black Friday (Friday, November 29). Episodes #14,998 and #14,999 will see Salem learning that the beloved Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes) has sadly passed away, with his wife Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) particularly devasted over the news. Also, look for the returns of several characters, including Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves), Eli (Lamon Archey) and Lani (Sal Stowers), Hope (Kristian Alfonso) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer), and many more, leading toward the show’s 15,000th episode (Monday, December 2).

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
