Are the Soaps Airing New Episodes On the Fourth of July? Here’s the Full Schedule
Whenever a holiday rolls around, soap fans wonder whether their favorite daytime dramas will be airing or not. With the Fourth of July falling this Friday, July 4, viewers are wondering if Young and Restless, Bold and Beautiful. Beyond the Gates, General Hospital, and Days of Our Lives will be new, preempted, or airing a rerun. Because we here at Soap Opera Digest don’t want anyone to miss a single episode of their soaps, here’s a full rundown of the holiday schedule:
Is Young and Restless going to be on the Fourth of July?
This year, CBS is not taking the holiday off and will be airing a brand-new episode of Y&R on Friday. So fans will want to be sure to tune in to see Victor and Cane continuing to try to one-up each other, Nikki worrying about Chancellor’s future, and Adam making a surprise appearance.
Is Bold and Beautiful going to be on the Fourth of July?
Like its sister soap, B&B will also be new on the Fourth. And with Luna currently on the run and planning her next deadly move, viewers will want to make sure and check out the Friday cliffhanger. In that episode, Sheila tries to get Taylor to share what she knows, Ridge promises Liam and Hope that things are under control, and Steffy fears for her life!
Is Beyond the Gates going to be on the Fourth of July?
BTG has been airing encore episodes all week as CBS’s newest daytime drama offered soap fans another chance to see how it all began. And this Friday, they’ll be showing Bill and Hayley’s dramatic nuptials, where his ex-wife, Dani, brings a very unexpected gift for the couple that threatens to turn the wedding into a funeral.
Is General Hospital going to be on the Fourth of July?
GH fans will be getting a day off from the drama as ABC is planning to air an encore presentation of the November 27, 2024, episode on the Fourth of July. That’s the show where Lucky and Liz confronted Cyrus about a missing Lulu, even as the former coma patient has made her way back to Port Charles to come face-to-face with her son. Plus, there’s also the emotional final testimony in the courtroom where Ava was on trial for murdering Kristina’s unborn child.
Is Days of Our Lives going to be on the Fourth of July?
Now that DAYS no longer airs on a broadcast network, it streams five days a week on Peacock, uninterrupted by news, holidays, or anything else. So on Friday, fans can look forward to the drama in Salem continuing as EJ is there for his son, Abe tries to make sure Chanel is okay, and Brady and Kristen are actually on the same page for a change as they speak with Marlena.
So enjoy your Fourth of July holiday with family and friends, and be sure to set your DVRs or stream Y&R, B&B, or DAYS so you can watch at your own convenience. And for BTG and GH fans, the drama will pick up on Monday, July 7, right where it left off for each show, so you don’t have to worry that you missed anything.
