The comic writer must be a soap fan. I watch General Hospital, and they’re constantly interrupting it with “breaking news”, forcing me to go to Hulu to watch the episode.
An appropriate re-title, cause days run into weeks on the soaps. When I was serving in Okinawa, we use to get the soaps tape delayed from Korea so we were a week behind. Then we got our own feed so we got them live. Didn’t even notice the missing episodes.
In college, a friend was the fire marshal in his dorm—he scheduled the drills. Many many girls NEVER forgave him for having a drill during the General Hospital episode when Laura came back (turns out not from the dead) and reunited with Luke.

Oh yes far more important news. Than reporting on some dull factory fire.

I remember as a kid the soaps would announce who the stand in actors were when the regular ones were indisposed or whatever.

The McCoys are prophets. Ten days after this was published the R.M. Palmer plant in West Reading, PA exploded.
