UPDATE 2:00 PM ET: According to a rep for Disney/ABC, as “General Hospital,” “The View” and “The Chew” weren’t already in the Hulu Plus system prior to the WATCH ABC rule changes, their launch on the service was delayed as a result. It was not fan complaints that prompted their availability as originally reported.

PREVIOUS: When Soap Opera Network first reported that ABC’s “General Hospital,” “The View” and “The Chew” would be made available on Hulu Plus after the network and its parent company decided to change the way in which audiences could catch their favorite ABC programming outside of the traditional method of viewing live, fans were outraged to learn that neither series was available on the subscription based service as originally thought. That has since changed!

Meanwhile, 9 episodes are available to view of “GH” on Hulu Plus, along with the aforementioned 4 episodes available for free on Hulu.com.

“General Hospital on Hulu/Hulu Plus

Murder, mob wars, and mansions? It’s just all in a day’s work for the residents of Port Charles, New York. With such notable characters as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), there’s never a dull moment – especially when you add to the mix their long-time revolving love affairs with Carly (Laura Wright), Samantha (Kelly Monaco), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), and Claudia (Sarah Brown). Couples like Robin and Patrick (Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson) and Maxie and Spinelli (Kirsten Storms and Bradford Anderson), and families like the quarreling (but lovable) Quartermaines, even out this dysfunctional town.
