So far, General Hospital has been preempted three times in July. The show aired a repeat episode on July 4 because of Independence Day. Then on July 12, it was preempted because of breaking news.Â

Recap of the July 20, 2022 episode
Before the Thursday episode of General Hospital was preempted, a lot of intriguing stuff was happening. On Wednesday, July 20, many Port Charles residents gathered for a night at The Haunted Star. Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) created a setup for Linc Brown (Dan Buran) during open mic night.
Meanwhile, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) put the moves on Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). He planned a romantic picnic underneath the stars, and everything went well until an argument erupted. After Cody revealed he wanted to settle down with a wife and kids, Britt said she didn’t want either of those things. Cody tried to save face by claiming he didn’t want that either, leaving Britt confused about what he really wants.
Across town, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) visited Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor). Sasha realizes she needs help with her addiction and tells Nina she’s doing outpatient therapy. Brando tells Sonny that Felty (Brian Norris) is the one who gave Sasha the pills, and Sonny promises to make him pay. Later Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) calls Sonny to say he found Felty, and Sonny orders Dex to take care of him.
