GENERAL Hospital has been cancelled today and could potentially be off air tomorrow due to scheduling clashes.
ABC’s coverage of Major League Baseball National League Wild Card Series (Postseason) Games means fans already missed the daily soap opera on Tuesday.

Today the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs will play against each other in the series.
General Hospital will be further affected if the Padres win but will return to its regular slot should the Cubs take the victory.
The changes were announced on the show’s official Instagram page, with unimpressed fans rushing to comment.
One wrote: “GH, don’t play with me girl. For some of us who work hard all day, this show is what we look forward to.”
Another said: “It’s crazy to show any sports during the day unless you think that people will take a day off from work to watch?
“Any sports should be shown at night time – leave day time soaps alone.”
And a third added: “This is why we have sports channels.”
Last month the show announced a major cast shakeup with the addition of a soap opera legend for the new season.
While devoted watchers weren’t sure what to expect from the ABC drama in upcoming episodes, they’d suspected that iconic soap opera star Erika Slezak might be a part of it.
General Hospital fuelled rumors when it hinted that a character with a shocking connection to the Quartermaine family was set to arrive in Port Charles.
Chatter suggested that Erika could portray the late Monica Quartermaine’s sister, played by Leslie Charleson.
Their suspicions about Erika joining the cast were confirmed when Soap Opera Digest revealed that the 6-time Emmy Award-winning star will appear in the new season.
