The new episode of ABC's 'General Hospital' that was scheduled to air on Tuesday, January 7, will be preempted due to ABC News' coverage of former President Jimmy Carter's state funeral. For some viewers, an encore episode will replace the new show at the same time. The scheduled episode will now air Wednesday instead.
At an emotional press conference, Wactor's friend Micah Parker expressed, "I'm here because one of the best men -- if not the best man -- I've ever known, was tragically and brutally taken from this earth. He was taken from his mother, his brothers, his extended family, his friends and his fans." This highlights the profound loss felt by those close to the actor.
