With Christmas week here, you won’t see a full week of new episodes of your favorite soaps. Expect the same as we ring in the new year next week.
General Hospital This Week
Your favorite Port Charles characters celebrated Christmas Eve on Friday and Monday, but the festivities will not continue until Thursday.
Instead, you will see an encore episode on December 24 that first aired in May of this year. Relive Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) fears when she realizes how much Finn (Michael Easton) is drinking. The episode aired just after Gregory’s (Gregory Harrison) death and Finn was out of control. He was already sneaking alcohol at Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) wedding and delved deeper into the bottle after his father passed.
Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) will also get a shock while she is out of town trying to get her law license back. Ava (Maura West) also gets some key information while Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) is forced to give Sonny (Maurice Benard) a warning after his incident with Dex (Evan Hofer) a few days before.
On Christmas Day, ABC will air football, so it’s ok to take a break from soaps for the day to enjoy Santa, sports, and Christmas dinner.
The Young and the Restless This Week
Unlike GH, Y&R will be on four days rather than three. You’ll get another Christmas Eve episode with the Abbotts, as well as Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) acting like her usual crazy self before the action picks up again on Thursday.
On Christmas Day, expect an encore episode from way, way back in 1985. You’ll see many of the same characters as you did nearly 40 years ago, including Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) who was married to Paul (Doug Davidson) at the time. During this episode, Danny (Michael Damian) hopes for a Christmas miracle while Victor (Eric Braeden) finds himself torn between Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott).
