To answer the question as to whether it was "taped live," they often film soaps with as few takes as possible. They try to get it in one take if possible and I don't think they often have multiple takes. This is certainly not the first time an actor slipped up on GH or any soap.

The page is being changed back to how it was, not saying the sex of the baby. The reasoning is because the character of Julian does not know the sex of the baby, so him saying that Sam is having a daughter cannot be considered fact in-universe. Even though, one might argue, that the actor probably does know what's written into the future scripts, and maybe even has already taped, the character does not know at this time. The wiki tries to keep stuff to in-universe, not what actors know that their characters don't.

Another example of a slip-up that we did not include in this wiki was when someone, maybe Lucas, stated a child's age, maybe Josslyn (I can't remember exactly). The age the character said was different than what the child was known to be at the time. Instead of hastily going and changing the child's page as if she was SORASed, we simply said that it was a mistake, the character doesn't know or made a mistake. Same here, Julian doesn't know; he guessed or made a mistake in-universe.
