Soap Opera Thanksgiving: Which Soaps Are New This Week?
22 Nov
Summary
- Days of Our Lives streams new episodes daily on Peacock without interruption.
- General Hospital and The Young and the Restless will preempt episodes on Thanksgiving.
- The Bold and the Beautiful airs a special Thanksgiving episode on November 26.
As Thanksgiving approaches, soap opera enthusiasts should note that not all their favorite daytime dramas will air new episodes throughout the week. Days of Our Lives, exclusively available on Peacock, will stream new content daily from Monday to Friday, unaffected by holiday schedules. This provides a consistent viewing experience for its fans.
In contrast, ABC's General Hospital and CBS's The Young and the Restless are slated for preemptions. General Hospital will only air new episodes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday due to sports coverage. Similarly, The Young and the Restless will broadcast new installments Monday through Wednesday, with Thursday featuring a classic rebroadcast and Friday being preempted for sports.
The Bold and the Beautiful faces a Friday preemption for CBS Sports but will offer a special Thanksgiving episode on November 26, featuring family gatherings and unexpected guests. This variation in programming means fans will need to check specific schedules to catch their beloved characters during the holiday week.
