ABC News, Inauguration, Donald J. Trump,

On Monday, January 20, ABC News will air special coverage of the second inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump, led by “World News Tonight” anchor and managing editor David Muir from Washington, D.C. As a result, the alphabet network will be preempting its daytime lineup consisting of “The View,” “GMA3: What You Need to Know” and “General Hospital,” an ABC News representative confirmed to Soap Opera Network.

On Wednesday, ABC News announced it will feature comprehensive coverage of Inauguration Day (January 20), starting with a special edition of “Good Morning America” at 7:00 a.m. ET, followed by a day-long special report beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET. Coverage will also be available via ABC News Live, the network’s 24/7 streaming news channel.

The network notes its coverage will include reporting on Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill, the swearing-in ceremony and inaugural address, the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, as well as the inauguration parade, among other events planned for the day.

Joining Muir for the network’s coverage of the inauguration are ABC News Live “Prime” anchor and “World News Tonight” Sunday anchor Linsey Davis, chief Washington correspondent and “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl, chief global affairs correspondent and “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz, chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce, senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, “Nightline” co-anchor Byron Pitts, “20/20” co-anchor Deborah Roberts, “Good Morning America” weekend co-anchor and “World News Tonight” Saturday anchor Whit Johnson, “GMA3” co-anchor Eva Pilgrim, ABC News Live anchor Kyra Phillips, chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas, chief national correspondent Matt Gutman, chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell, chief business, economics and technology correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, senior national correspondent Terry Moran, senior White House correspondent Selina Wang, national correspondent Mireya Villarreal, White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks, correspondents Matt Rivers and Elizabeth Schulze, multiplatform reporter Jay O’Brien, Washington D.C. bureau chief Rick Klein, executive editorial producer John Santucci, senior politics reporter Katherine Faulders, chief legal analyst Dan Abrams, contributing political correspondent Rachael Bade, along with contributors Chris Christie, Mary Jordan, Reince Preibus, Sarah Isgur and presidential historian Mark Updegrove.

Later that night, ABC News will present a primetime special, “The Second Inauguration of Donald J. Trump – An ABC News Special,” anchored by Muir at 10:00 p.m. ET on ABC, next day on Hulu. The special will provide reporting and analysis on the significant moments from the day and the events leading up to Trump’s historic second presidency. 

In addition to the network’s daytime and primetime coverage, Muir will also anchor a special edition of “World News Tonight,” while co-anchor Byron Pitts will anchor a special edition of “Nightline” — both from Washington, D.C. 

Before Inauguration Day, “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” will air a special edition previewing the events on Sunday, January 19.

Errol, I routinely link to articles that you & Toups publish here, on my soap group on Facebook. Typically, responses are interested, polite, appropriate, etc. 

But, on this one article, suddenly all of the posters are posting very irreverent comments indicating their total disinterest in the Inauguration & strong displeasure at not getting to see their soaps. It's very funny!

    • Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and Knots Landing episodes for the week of October 24, 1983.
    • I really don't want to see some old P&G actors on the show. To me Lindstrom and McLain have brought nothing special. The show needs to find new talent, so it has it's own identity,which overall they have. Timon, Tricia, Ambyr are breakouts. Most of the others are fine .We all know the exceptions.
    • I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.
    • If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.
    • Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?
    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
    • You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
