General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal the ABC soap opera will not be airing on Monday, August 21, 2017 in many markets due to the special news coverage airing live on the total Solar Eclipse. ABC has a program of live coverage entitled ‘The Great American Eclipse’ that will be occurring from approximately 1:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
Please note that this preemption of General Hospital will vary according to different time zones and continually check back with CDL for all the scheduling changes that may occur due to this rare and extraordinary event!
The Great American Eclipse show highlights a rare event of unimaginable beauty as the Moon will completely block out, or eclipse, the Sun, causing daytime to turn into total darkness along the path of the umbra (total shadow) – the darkness is caused by the Moon’s shadow. An epic event like this, should not be missed but be warned that you should be using eye protection when viewing it.
This is the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse will cross the entire United States, hence the reason our beloved ABC daytime drama General Hospital will be missed, but for good reason. The Eclipse will probably be one of the most popular televised events in the history of our generation, beginning in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and then traveling across a minimum of 14 States, leaving people along the path in total darkness for over 2 minutes.
General Hospital spoilers assures fans that with the preemption we will simply pick up where we left off with Liz and Franco reunited; Hayden missing and Finn desperate to find her despite Curtis’ warnings. Spinelli is on the case, helping Maxie uncover the startling secret of who the real Ask Man Landers is; as well as so many other exciting things happening right now in Port Charles.
Please enjoy the Great American Eclipse and tune into ABC’s General Hospital (GH) to catch up on all the excitement happening right now.
