ABC has a reason for not broadcasting a new episode ofGeneral Hospitalon June 15, 2025. Somesoaps are airing on the July 4 holiday, but not ABC’s only remaining soap opera. This hiatus is especially frustrating because of the exciting storylines the hospital-based soap is offering at the moment.
The war between Sidwell and Sonny heated up this week, beginning with thefavorite soap opera tropeof a family member getting caught in the crossfire of someone else’s mess. Kristina was in Charlie’s Pub when a bomb exploded, which made Sonny more determined to get revenge. This story became even more exciting when Maxie learned about Sonny’s tainted investments.
Maxie’s attempt to gather financial records led her to the discovery of Brook Lynn’s file on Britt, which she has decided to keep to herself so she wouldn’t hurt Rocco. But with Rocco determined to learn more about Britt, this will likely come into play soon. Sadly, this will have towait untilGeneral Hospitalreturns from its hiatus.
