Soap Opera Digest has you covered with the the full holiday schedule for every show so you can stay on top of the drama!
Is Beyond the Gates going to be new on Memorial Day?
The residents of Fairmont Crest are going to be taking the holiday off as CBS airs an encore episode of BTG. This special hour that originally aired on January 19, 2026 features cast members like Tamara Tunie (Anita), Clifton Davis (Vernon), Karla Mosley (Dani) and Daphnée Duplaix (Nicole) coming together to discuss their storylines from the past year, sharing a behind-the-scenes peek at the drama, romance, secrets and schemes involved in the show’s first season.
Is Bold and Beautiful going to be new on Memorial Day?
CBS is planning to air a brand-new episode of B&B on Monday, so fans will want to make sure to tune in during the day or stream it that evening on CBS.com or Paramount+. And with Hope (Annika Noelle) feeling neglected by Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) at Forrester and contemplating taking her talents over to Katie’s (Heather Tom) rival fashion house, Logan, the conflict between the two families is promising to blow up in a big way.
Is Days of Our Lives going to be new on Memorial Day?
Because DAYS now streams exclusively on Peacock, it is not affected by network scheduling changes for holidays or breaking news. This means that the drama will be continuing uninterrupted in Salem on Memorial Day. Fans can look forward to Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) discussing their family, JJ (Casey Moss) coming home, a surprising discovery at the location where Sophia (Rachel Boyd) disappeared, and more.
Is General Hospital going to be new on Memorial Day?
ABC will be airing an encore episode of GH on May 25. This show, which originally aired on November 3, 2025, features the climax of the battle for the Quartermaine mansion with Tracy (Jane Elliot) thwarting Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) attempt to force Ronnie (Erika Slezak) to sell the estate to him. Plus, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) grew suspicious of Portia (Brook Kerr), Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) secret project with Dalton (Daniel Goddard) raised eyebrows, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) put pressure on Laura (Genie Francis), and more.
Is Young and Restless going to be new on Memorial Day?
The drama in Genoa City will be paused on Monday as CBS airs an episode of Y&R that was originally broadcast on July 3, 2019. On that day, Victor (Eric Braeden) made a dangerous decision, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) plotted to get back at Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) received an unwelcome blast from the past, and sparks flew between Devon (Bryton James) and Elena (Brytni Sarpy).
Be sure to make a note of whether or not your favorite soaps will be new or not on Memorial Day so you don’t miss an all-new episode or an encore presentation of a show you’d like to see again. And for those soaps that are being preempted on Monday, the action will pick up on Tuesday, May 26, right where it left off on Friday.
