General Hospital Lawsuit Over Vaccine Mandates Heads To Trial

This is also not the first time General Hospital has dealt with this issue, as the program faced a similar situation when it came to the termination of actor Ingo Rademacher. Rademacher likewise refused to get vaccinated, was fired, and filed a lawsuit over the matter. ABC won that case after the court found that actors working in close proximity, without a mask, had no means of safely interacting during that period if they were unvaccinated.

However, the crew members in this new lawsuit argue that since they were not actors, their situation is different and they could have remained on set at a safe distance from others.
