ABC Faces Trial Over ‘General Hospital’ COVID Vaccination Wrongful Termination Lawsuit
A judge has denied ABC's bid to dismiss a wrongful termination lawsuit filed against 'General Hospital' over the show's COVID vaccination policy.
On the heels of Judge Stephen I. Goorvitch’s Feb. 20 order denying ABC’s motion to dismiss the case, the sides are set to meet March 11 to confer on a trial date. ABC argued that the pair’s roles were such that they could not receive an exemption to its strict COVID vaccination policy, given the industry-wide restrictions imposed during the pandemic to allow TV and film production to resume. A lawsuit similar to the Wahls’ complaint was filed against “General Hospital” by actor Ingo Rademacher, but it was dismissed by Goorvitch last June because, per the judge, “the plaintiff refused to cooperate with the interactive process.”
