Unfortunately, no episodes will air on Thursday, November 26 or Friday, November 27 due to football.
New shows will resume as of Monday, November 30.
Much like Y&R, The Bold and the Beautiful will have three new episodes airing at the beginning of the week of November, from Monday to Wednesday, but will be pre-empted on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, much like Y&R.
Viewers can rest assured Bold will go back to its regular programming as of November 30.

Take Note Beyond The Gates Fans
Meanwhile, the new daytime drama on the block, Beyond the Gates, will have a little bit of a different schedule than its CBS sister soaps.
They’ll air new episodes on Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24, but will broadcast some special reruns on Wednesday, November 25 and Thursday, November 26.
Both these shows will center on the Articulettes’ reunion.
The show will not be seen on Friday, November 27, due to football.
That said, BTG will return to its schedule as of November 30.
General Hospital’s Thanksgiving Schedule
Over at ABC, General Hospital fans can expect their favorite soap to be pre-empted on November 26 and November 27.
This is because of the network’s Thanksgiving programming and football coverage.
General Hospital fans can expect new shows from November 23 to November 25, with the show returning to normal as of November 30.
There is also more General Hospital Thanksgiving drama ahead for Port Charles residents.
No Days Off
As Days of Our Lives is on a streaming platform, it’ll continue to air episodes, as per usual, during the American Thanksgiving holiday!

Annemarie’s Take
Thanksgiving is wonderful, but I know soap fans aren’t thrilled when their favorite shows disappear for a couple of days! At least we get three new episodes of Y&R, B&B, and GH before the holiday.
I’m also curious about the special Articulettes reunion episodes on Beyond the Gates. And for Days fans, there’s no interruption at all! Just remember to catch up before Monday, November 30, when the regular schedules return.
