  • Whether the soap returns on Thursday depends on the series result, with outlets noting a Thursday comeback if the Cubs clinch and a further delay if a deciding game is needed.
  • The show announced the temporary change on its official Instagram account, prompting a wave of complaints from viewers on social media.
  • Coverage emphasizes the interruption is brief, with most remaining MLB postseason games set for TBS and Fox rather than ABC.
  • Reports indicate the show is expected to be back in its regular daytime slot by Friday once the CubsPadres series concludes.
