The wait is almost over for the premiere of the new ABC.com original series, “GH Now,” hosted by “General Hospital’s” Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis). The series, which brings fans closer to their favorite Port Charles denizens than ever before, is set to premiere on ABC.com and the WATCH ABC app on Monday, January 12 with the first three of six episodes, reports TVLine.

Bellum Entertainment and Raycom Media announced today that it has picked up two seasons of “Fix It & Finish It,” hosted by “General Hospital” and “Dancing with the Stars” alum Antonio Sabato, Jr., and sister series “Flip My Food,” hosted by Chef Jeff Henderson. The pickup for seasons 2 and 3 for both includes 150 episodes per season and expands the reach of each series beyond the existing Raycom Media stations.

Just before the holiday break, actor Robb Derringer announced on social media that he will soon be departing ABC’s “General Hospital,” where he’s been portraying the recurring role of Special Agent Kyle Sloane opposite Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) since mid-November.

“General Hospital” will be celebrating its 52nd birthday in 2015, and in honor of the continued success of the series, the official “GH” fan club will be holding its annual weekend where fans of the daytime drama series can meet and interact with the entire cast.

“General Hospital” is littered with talented individuals who can not only act circles around anyone who may appear next to them on screen, but they can also sing as well, as evidenced by the Nurses Balls and even ABC Daytime’s now defunct Broadway Cares charity events. Jason Thompson, who portrays Patrick Drake on the daytime drama series, is no different.
