In a shocking Dancing with the Stars All-Stars Results Show tonight, General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco (Sam) and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy ended up in the Bottom Three. During the announcement of Monaco’s results, she was standing next to Bristol Palin who got the lowest score from the judges last night, and is clearly not the caliber of dancer of many of the celebrity contestants. And, when it came down to Monaco or Palin ending up in the bottom three, it was Palin who was safe and Monaco who was in jeopardy of going home. We can only imagine the cringe from Monaco’s on-screen mother, Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) when thinking of Bristol besting Kelly!
After Kelly was announced to be in the bottom three for the night, so too was another former dance champ, Helio Castroneves and partner, Chelsie Hightower, and Joey Fantone and partner, Kym Johnson! At the end of the Results Show, it was revealed that Kelly Monaco was safe, while Joey and Helio were the actual bottom two, with Joey and Kym getting the final boot!
What do you think of Bristol Palin being safe while Kelly landed in the bottom three? Weigh-in!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’
On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Michael, after tonight I honestly believe the voting is rigged. No way in the world would kelly be in the bottom 3 and Bristol safe. She was horrible. I was actually at the taping on Monday night and it may have not been Kelly’s best dance but was beat the pants off Bristol.You are right in you comments. Bristol was clumsy and could not dance. Give me a break. There was something wrong with that picture. The show may get picketed if Bristol wins over Kelly.
I agree totally
I felt the same way the last time Bristol was on the show… I think they give too much points for home voters, andit was obvious that her momma must have wrangled every Republican to vote for her daughter, even if others deserved the votes more — like Brandy! She was really really good and I thought she’d be in the final 3 and I it was horrible when they said Bristol was safe and Brandy was going home. And you could just see that poor girl’s face – she knew she was much better and she was just crushed.
made me sick!
oh, and next week is going to be bad if Bristol stays in after they let TWO couples go.
so remember when you’re voting to vote for the underdogs you want to stay on the most, plus the people that are doing the best. I really like Gille (?) he’s doing just awesome!
If that is how the votes came out so be it. I know some people are flipping out over this, like Kelly being on here can save GH. It is doing great so I don’t know if it has to be saved. I think originally it was meant for people to vote for who they thought had danced the best. Yet I’m sure the shows producers knew people would vote for their favorites regardless of how they did. I greatly object to politics being brought into it. First it’s vote for Kelly for GH’s sake. Then it became vote because we don’t want the tea party to be happy or something like that. Politics is everywhere right now and we can’t even read tweets with out being subjected to it in retweets about a dance show? I’m not against the idea of Kelly winning and I think she is a great dancer but in some people’s minds I think this has gotten way out of hand. It is, after all, a competition, not life or death.
Great post, and I agree 100%! If Kelly dances the best, I’ll vote for her. Right now, I feel others are doing better, and they’ll receive my vote.
Exactly, not only is it a competition, but a competition for entertainment purposes not the Olympics for ballroom dancing. The producers say it year after year if you want someone to stay on the show vote for them, if you don’t vote, don’t complain if they get knock off. Also some people are not voting for the celebrity, the pro dancers have their fans too, maybe Mark fans are helping Bristol’s numbers. But like you said, it is not life or death, it all for fun (for us) and profit (for the network.)
I don’t really think Kelly was in the bottom 3..I think it was a fake out..How Bristol was safe & Joey went home is beyond me bc she’s by far the worse dancer on there. Not to mention I cringe and get filled w/ rage when I see her or her mother lmao.
Kelly wasn’t necessarily in the bottom 3 in voting. The couple that is SAFE in the bottom 3 could have had the highest votes. The bottom TWO is the only “real” indication of public voting. The third couple is just a red herring, if you will. I truly believe this is a ploy by ABC to freak people out so that they will vote for Kelly. I hope it doesn’t back-fire on them and we lose a couple that deserves to go further in the competition. Kelly is dancing well enough without their “help” IMO.
very well put-im glad she is on DWTS and i do feel she belongs staying in the competition because she is good enough although i have to come clean i have been asking people to vote for her because i love her on GH im very loyal to my soap lol
I understand how the “bottom three” works, but lots of people don’t. Thanks for explaining so well.
This is what happened during the original season that Bristol Palin was on. She can’t dance, but followers of her mother pump up the voting totals until near the very end when the judges finally gave her such very low scores that she had to lose before the finals for that season. It was a huge “scandal” that season, I expect the same thing will happen again this season. Where Bristol is concerned, talent has nothing to do with it.
LOL well, that ”Tea Party’ sticks together no matter how wrong they are 🙂
This is the VERY reason they SHOULD NOT HAVE had Bristol on, IF they wanted a REAL dance-off and All Star Show, (they knew how the Tea Party fixed/ unbalance other show Bristol was on) they WOULD NOT of never had Bristol on for THIS TYPE of show.
HERE’S THE THING: The show didn’t care WHO (the other dances) was affended/ hurt by a SUDDEN ” vote off”, just as long as they had the extra-viewership that Bristol and the Tea Party would draw in. Thats’ just Wrong, Wrong, wrong. People are there to ” defend” their title to ” other ” champs, NOT there to do a
” Great Job ” and ” then ” to be ” Voted off “, due to Bristol/ dumb Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party. Shame on ABCD-umb network for NOT taking this ‘” Dance Off ” more seriously….!!! As ‘ IF ‘ abcd-umb network really needs those (tea party) viewer’s. Like, ok. What’s going to happen to DWTS show next season when Bristol is no longer on?
Shame on ABCD-umb network for not taking this All Star Dance off more seriously.
Write your letters and complain.
I’m going to write a complaint.
This show is a combination of talent and popluarity. Both Kristie Alley and Bristol Palin did well on their respective seasons not because they were the best dancers, but they had a large fan base. Joey went home because his fan base is smaller. He hasn’t been on the show for a while, wherins both KA and BP are in viewer’s recent memories. Kelly was on the first season and this show really took off about season 4 so many viewers never saw her season. I’m sure she has a good group fans from GH, but she has to win over some newer DWTS fans too if she going beat out the fan base of KA or BP.
a travesty..Palin should have been gone…it’s her mom’s people keeping her there. for goodness sake GH fans…vote for Kelly. vote and vote often…
Kelly is simply not that good.
The others were better..
Perhaps Kelly will do better in the next round..
We all have heart favorites, but that does not mean they are the best ..
DWTS is an awesome show. Voters for their favorite because they are loyal ones and because they truely want them to contiue. Bristol was the lowest scored before voting results were in. If anyone should have gone home it should have been here. The show and votes don’t work that way. As for Kelly Monoco she has said she is in this not just to win but prove she can do it. If she dances bad and kicked off she will accept that I am sure. She is gracious and compassionate. She had one bad night and admitted the rehersal week wasn’t good because emtionally she had just said good bye to Steve Burton who is leaving GH. She gives it her best I am glad she is still in the competion. I hate Joey got kicked off because he is good. bristol’s dance had everyone like wow. Truely she had gone home not Joey
Bristil staying around longer than she she is going to f**k up the show…. Kelly’s dance was beautiful, she posture was fantastic. I don’t knw why U say she had a bad night, I don’t think so. Her night was FAR better than some of those other dancer’s. I know the show likes te Drama, but when a person SHOULD go home and doesn’t, it screws up the crediability and authenticy of what he show is about: The dance and the judging. You know?
She wasn’t in the bottom 3. The final two were the bottom 2, but the third person is just put there to cause drama. Glad she is still in there.
And ya know, leave Nancy out of it. It’s obvious that is put there because Nancy is a Democrat and Palin is a Republican.
No- not at all..
It is because Kelly is not doing well, and that is the truth .
I agree, I don’t think Kelly was really in the bottom 3, I think DWTS does that for the drama & I can’t believe that Bristol is still there. You go KELLY, you’re doing GREAT. Your Philadelphia fans are cheering you on!!!
Have the Philadelphia fans to do more than cheer her on, But VOTE (her on) keep her on the show…..
EVERYONE ON THIS SITE LET’S VOTE AND TELL OUR FRIENDS TO VOTE, AND OUR NEIGHBORS TO VOTE, AND STRANGERS ON THE STREET. BRISTOL CANNOT STAY ANOTHER WEEK. SHE OVER STAYED HER TIME, LAST TIME ON THE SHOW. IN FACT, BRISTOL SHOULDN’T EVEN BE ON THE SHOW, BECAUSE SHE ISN’T A STAR, NOR WAS SHE A FAN FAVORITE. THE TEA PARTY KEPT HER IN, AND SHOULD SHE STAY ON OVER WELL DESERVED AND BETTER DANCERS , ITS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS SO LETS VOTE FOLKS.
START TALKING ABOUT VOTING NOW TO YOUR SPOUNCES, SIBLINGS, BEST FRIEND, AND NEIGHBOR’S . EVEN IF THEY DON’T WATCH THE SHOW, GIVE THEM THE 1`800 NUMBERS OF YOUR FAVORITE 1, 2, PEOPLE AND TEX/ CALL THEM AND TELL THEN TO VOTE.,,,,,,!!!
Where’s Barbara T, are you STILL alive, calling Barbara t?
