The turbulent year 2021 is coming to a close, having knocked soap operas off the air for various events, and that isn’t going to change on the last weekday of the year. New Year’s Eve is happening tomorrow and it’s wreaking havoc with your favorite soaps. Find out if yours is airing a new episode, a repeat, or not at all with this handy schedule below.
Soap Operas For New Year’s Eve
Let’s start with Days of our Lives. Just as they did when COVID was ravaging soundstages everywhere, DAYS is managing to show a brand-new episode on New Year’s Eve. Sami Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney) will be a wreck and need to be consoled by not just Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) but also her ex, who is still madly in love with her, Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo). Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) has some serious crow to eat when she apologizes to her BFF Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens), but will it be too little too late?
As for General Hospital, the show will air, but it will be a repeat from February 24, 2021. As a refresher, expect to see Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) passionately defend Peter August (Wes Ramsey) to Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) trying to make amends with Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero). Also, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) wonders what Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will do next as Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) barely avoids getting caught doing some sleuthing!
Meanwhile, CBS will be wiping their slate of soap operas clean as The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful won’t even be showing repeats, never mind new episodes! Instead, they will be pre-empted for sports programming. Look for all of the shows to return in the new year with brand new episodes on Monday.
