‘General Hospital’ Season 64 Episode 28 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The next stretch of ‘General Hospital’ arrives with Port Charles already deep in the fallout from a controversial article and a looming legal fight. Lulu faces the consequences of her article declaring Willow drugged Drew. Viewers searching for the release date, air time and streaming options for the Thursday installment will find the schedule straightforward, even if the season labeling is not.

This guide covers when the episode airs, how to watch it live or online, and what the preview teases for Sonny, Josslyn, Chase and Curtis. It also explains why the numbering around this episode of ‘General Hospital’ can look inconsistent from one outlet to another.

‘General Hospital’ Release Date and Episode Count

Counting from the most recent tracking, Monday, October 12 is episode 25. The show releases new episodes Monday through Friday. Tuesday, October 13 is episode 26 and Wednesday, October 14 is episode 27, which places the installment in question on Thursday, October 15.

Soap Hub lists the Thursday episode as number 16067 in the show’s overall run, sitting between Wednesday and Friday broadcasts numbered 16066 and 16068. That overall count is separate from the season label, which is where much of the confusion comes from.

The Movie Database resets its season count roughly once a year while ABC’s own episode count keeps climbing. Some ABC tied coverage was still calling the current run by the previous season number in early September. The episode itself is identical either way, and the calendar date is the detail that matters most.

Air Time and Weekly Schedule on ABC

‘General Hospital’ airs on ABC every weekday at 2 PM ET and 1 PM CT. That early afternoon slot applies to Thursday as it does to the rest of the week.

The week of October 12 opens with a heavy confrontation. Monday’s spoilers list Drew confronting Lulu, Dante having questions for Sidwell, Trina under surveillance, and a winning bid made for the piers. Thursday builds on those threads rather than starting fresh.

The weekly preview video for October 12 through 16 shows a stunned Lulu getting served and telling someone that Willow is suing her for libel. For anyone planning to watch live, that makes Thursday a useful follow up to the earlier episodes of the week.

Where to Watch ‘General Hospital’ Online

Beyond the live broadcast on ABC, YouTube TV carries the show and lists the latest episodes for the current season. That option suits viewers who rely on a streaming live TV service instead of a traditional cable package.

Disney+ also lists the season’s episodes with short descriptions for each installment. New episodes show up on the ABC website and app about a week after their original air date.

Timing can differ by platform, so viewers who miss the live airing should check where the episode appears first. One guide noted that an episode should be available to stream shortly after its air date for anyone who missed the live broadcast. Since ‘General Hospital’ first premiered on April 1, 1963, the show has a long habit of keeping viewers on a weekday routine, and the streaming options follow that rhythm.

‘General Hospital’ Episode Preview and What Port Charles Faces Next

The Thursday preview is built around several parallel storylines. Sonny and Ric plot, Joe questions Willow, Josslyn defends herself, Chase ponders his future, and Monet advises Curtis. Each thread connects directly to events from the past week.

Sonny and Ric are central to the week. Ric helps Sonny formulate a new master plan. Tuesday’s spoilers have Sonny targeting a new rival. Josslyn is part of that conflict, since she told Hudson earlier this month that she planned to use JJE to bankrupt Sonny. The weekly preview also shows her arriving ahead of the auction for Sidwell’s assets, where she delivers her first blow to Sonny.

The Willow and Chase thread carries the legal weight. Willow agreed to sue Lulu after Chase pushed the idea, and Chase had already decided to file for legal separation. With Joe questioning Willow and Chase weighing his future, Thursday looks set to test how firmly the two stand together.

Curtis’s storyline adds a quieter beat. Monet told Curtis she is Jordan’s half sister, he questioned her agenda, and he hired her anyway. Do you see Josslyn’s push against Sonny as justified, or does his new partnership with Ric make Thursday’s plotting the more worrying development for Port Charles?
