Thanksgiving 2018: Soap Opera Scheduling

Below is the status of the daytime soaps for the US holiday of Thanksgiving in 2018.

There are no new soap episodes on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 22, 2018. Friday, November 24, has an episode of "The Young and the Restless" . If you watch international soaps, obviously since they don't celebrate they will air their episodes as normal.

ABC: "General Hospital" will be on Thursday, but it is a rerun from 2000. On Friday, college football games will air.

CBS: This year the network has the late NFL game on Thursday between Chicago Bears versus Detroit Lines  starting at 12:30 pm ET, so no soaps are on in the afternoon and the parade coverage in the morning preempts the. On Friday, a rerun of "The Price is Right" is scheduled, a new episode of Y&R, and a best of college football special beginning at 1:30 pm with Arkansas versus Missouri starting at 2:30 pm.

NBC: Thursday on NBC has "The National Dog Show" on for two hours starting at 12 pm ET, which is followed by a repeat of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast from the morning. On Friday, "Days of Our Lives" will be preempted by the New York Rangers at Philadelphia Flyers.

Thanksgiving is a great weekend if you're a sports fan, and a respite for soap fans to do other things. Hopefully you'll have a good holiday weekend.
