After debuting its first episode in 1963, General Hospital now faces a challenging period. Known for captivating audiences with its long-running soap drama, it’s often envied by competitors. However, ratings have significantly declined lately, causing concerns about the show’s future. Consequently, there are fears that General Hospital might be discontinued, a potential end to the series 62 years after its initial airing. Yet, has any official announcement been made regarding canceling this beloved soap opera?
Is General Hospital getting canceled in 2025?
Currently, as I’m typing this, there is no word from ABC about the cancellation of General Hospital in 2025.
It’s clear that the series might need some changes, as low ratings and decreasing viewership indicate this could happen if action isn’t taken promptly. In the last four weeks, General Hospital has struggled to surpass 2 million viewers, dropping as low as 1.8 million between May 6 and May 10, 2024. This sluggishness in attracting audiences is compounded by the show’s reluctance to collaborate with streaming platforms, a move that other shows, like The Bold and the Beautiful on Peacock, have found successful in boosting their viewership numbers.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but express my disappointment over the sudden changes in the cast. It’s particularly upsetting when a beloved character like Kelly Monaco is removed, especially since she was taken aback by the decision herself, stating that it came as a complete surprise. Fans have even started a petition on Change.org to bring her back, but unfortunately, our efforts haven’t been successful so far.
Discussions about General Hospital have sparked questions among fans, leading some to speculate that the show could potentially be cancelled in 2025. According to a RadarOnline insider, the series has been facing difficulties for quite some time, with producers attempting to increase ratings while reducing expenses on cast members they deem unnecessary.
Despite the rumors swirling around, I’m thrilled to say that ABC hasn’t pulled the plug on General Hospital just yet. Consequently, the soap opera is still churning out fresh episodes, with a determined spirit to regain its past splendor.
