General Hospital News Update: GH Stars Use Social Media To Tease Their Return To Work

ABC General Hospital spoilers tease that the wait could soon be over for fans eager to feast their eyes on some fresh new content. Is Monday, August 3 the day when GH airs its first brand new episode since the coronavirus shutdown forced the airing of encore episodes? Several outlets are reporting this to be the case and as they say, where there’s smoke there’s likely to be ablaze!

Many of the show’s cast have been posting hints and teasers about being back to work as well as fanning the flames of viewer anticipation.

Initially, the show was anticipated to return to the set on July 13 but that date was pushed back. The next tentative date for filming was the following week and it appears that that date achieved mission liftoff.

General Hospital Spoilers – When Is General Hospital Returning With New Content?

If the show is filming, and the stars’ social media is suggesting just that, we may be seeing new episodes as early as the beginning of August.

Josh Swickard, who plays Harrison Chase, posted this on his Insta on July 21: “As I head back to work — and to a workplace that looks very different from before — I’m reflecting on how I spent my quarantine and what I learned.”

That tease was followed by an Insta picture two days later from Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix DuBois). On July 23 the star posted a pic of himself sitting on a yellow couch (mask in place) with the caption “Workplace moda.”

Fans assumed he was on set with one writing, “Yes!! I’m so ready for some new GH but above all, y’all stay safe!! I love you guys too much for any of you to get sick!! New episodes aren’t worth that!”

GH Spoilers – The Fans Have Been Enjoying Encore Episodes But Are Impatient For New Ones To Air

The show-stopped production in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Precautions were necessary to help preserve the health and welfare of the cast and crew but it now appears that the show is safely filming again.

The encore episodes are beginning to catch up to the present time meaning that the show is planning a launch very soon. Many believe that on Friday, July 31 the show will air the May 21 episode which means the new content begins the following Monday.

The ABC showrunners have not delivered a statement about the launch date, and as you can tell by the stars’ social media they are keeping coy about spilling any revealing details.
