GENERAL HOSPITAL: Franco Walks In On Shiloh and Dr. Cabot’s Plans for Cameron
On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Shiloh(Coby Ryan McLaughlin) is ramping up his now very twisted plot; after kidnapping, Cameron (William Lipton) who was out doing his community service, the young teen is tied to a chair in a seedy warehouse. As Cameron tries to break free and kicks Shiloh, it further infuriates the former, disgraced cult leader, who has one mission on his mind – to retrieve some vital information on Drew’s (Billy Miller) memory flash-drive.
After waiting for Cabo (Time Winters) t to turn up at the warehouse, when he does, the doctor is not to happy to find out that Jason (Steve Burton) is not there, but instead has been somehow replaced by Cameron Webber! Cabot emphatically tells Shiloh that this mind-mapping experiment was only meant for twins! Shiloh is not backing down and tells Cabot to improvise. Then, he blackmails Cabot by telling them they are now co-conspirators … and if they are caught by the authorities they will go down together. Shiloh also intimates that the information he needs on that flash-drive could set them up for life.
Dr. Cabot informs Shiloh that he is very worried that transferring the memories into someone so young could have dire consequences, as they have never experimented with that before.
At General Hospital, Sam (Kelly Monaco) wakes up to a nightmare from her time in the freezer; thanks to Shiloh. She is still reeling from what she experienced. Jason tells Sam that she was just the bait, because what Shiloh truly wanted was Jason, so he could implant Drew’s memories into him.
Elsewhere, Liz (Rebecca Herbst) and Franco (Roger Howarth) where to meet Cameron following his community service duty, but he does not show up. This alarms the couple, but Liz is more annoyed, because she also has to get to work. When Liz gives Franco the keys to the car. he refuses to drive Cameron home when he shows up, and says the two of them will walk home, because of the musings of Chelsea (Jen Ray), the psychic, who told him to ‘not take that drive’.
Later, Chelsea shows up where Franco is waiting for Cam. She now has updated visions for him to now, “Take that drive.” She also says: “It will be an easy decision, but be the hardest thing he’s ever done.” Franco is now more worried and confused.
Back at GH, Liz and Finn (Michael Easton) check in on Sam. It is there that Finn makes a key point, when Jason reveals Dr. Cabot is back in town trying to implant Drew’s memories on him. Everyone in the room believes Cabot needs twins to make the mind-mapping work. Finn reveals that is not so; meaning that someone’s memories could indeed be transferred into someone else’s brain, even if the subject is not part of a set of twins!
In the final moments of the episode; Franco’s dad, Scott (Kin Shriner) phones him to tell him a meter maid friend of his located Cameron’a car and it was parked illegally, and he has the address where to go get the car, etc. When Franco comes to the address, he goes through the first door, only to hear rumblings and shouting through a gated-second door. When he walks in, he finds his stepson tied up and knocked out, and Shiloh and Cameron about to proceed with their potentially life-altering or deadly experiment. Will Franco save the day? We fade to black.
So, what do you think about Cameron being kidnapped to be used as the vehicle to retrieve Drew’s memories? What do you think Franco will do next? Will Shiloh ever get his comeuppance, or Dr. Cabot for that matter? Comment below.
Coming soon: “Drodd: The Redemption of Frodd – Part 666”
Surely we will all love Frodd when he becomes Drodd, who now believes he’s a Navy SEAL and has no connection with his actual psycho serial killer past.
Does anyone else remember summer romances, heat in the summer, cliff-hangers? No more! We have the teen scene, boyfriends hired, boring baby storylines, & a boring immigration story. Oh, and a stupid cult storyline that will not end.
Well, Shiloh is history. Kidnapping a kid, there is no redemption for that character. Good riddance!
Hi Timmm ..
I will miss Shiloh !
He is the only character that keeps me awake through all the boring junk..
Hate or love Shiloh he is good character actor has given us great performances.
Shiloh is in the middle of villains, there have been much better but Shiloh is all we got as a Villian in one of the most ridiculous stories/cult junk..
I will miss him..
Who will the next bad guy be?
0ooh there are none they are all monks now..
I wish Franco would get his tumor back!!
I need suspense, intrigue, on the edge story a real thrill and chills !!
su0000, Shiloh’s twin could be lurking!
This was an unexpected twist. GH is usually so predictible.
Great work today from Roger Howarth and William Lipton
Both earned Emmy nominations on Thursdays episode
Ok..this is the final straw..GH needs some serious writing regime changes from the top to bottom..I have great respect for EP Frank Valentini for all his work in daytime TV but we need a new person in charge if this show is going to be around for more years and entertaining!! ABC, this show this to be overhaul BIGGG time! You are losing long time fans and even younger ones!!
Franco is not a twin but thought he was. Will save Cameron by taking the mind map thing himself.
Didn’t someone (Franco?) also take an LSD trip at one point to save someone too? (oh gosh, I’m not a twin and maybe someone has mind mapped me!) 🙂
When Franco and Nina were in love he took LSD to save her..
that was back when Franco was a great character before Liz killed off Franco’s greatness and turned him into a dull boy..
I can’t wait for Shiloh to get what he deserves! I hate him even more so now than I ever did! Most selfish jerk in the world.
Cameron (William Lipton) that kid has great acting talent.
He will, eventually, leave GH and up his career he will do well. A good future ahead for him once he moves out of GH..
Ahhh Franc0, I miss the real Franco and hope he will get a great story, once again.
I’m gonna love seeing Franco out of Liz’s space and have himself a darker encounter along with his humor, miss his humor and his exciting self.
— I want Franco back–
(this Liz’s Franco is so phony)
This is pure trash. Cameron is a minor. This looked like torture and abuse of a minor. I know Franco will take his place but someone needs to end this and kill Shilow once and for all
Jim
its only make-believe..
Authors and producers do not single teenagers out..
Stephen King uses teens too, yeah know..
It’s fantasy, not real..
Cameron (William Lipton) is a strong actor and he was strutting his acting skills in his scenes, good for him..
Ready for Shiloh to die
I’m one that usually looks for the positive when it comes to GH, and I’m usually willing to give them the benefit of the doubt to let stories play out before I judge them. But I’m beyond over the Shiloh stuff, I really am. And I was never on board with the whole “person’s memories on a flash drive” nonsense. It’s gotten so convoluted and illogical at this point. I think the show is doing a number of good stories right now, but this one has been by far my least favorite.
Coby Ryan McLaughlin has done a great job portraying Shiloh as the smarmy sleazebag that you can’t wait to see get his, I’ll give credit where it’s due. But I really hope they’re moving towards wrapping up this storyline and giving it a satisfactory conclusion, which will hopefully be Shiloh taking the big dirt nap when all is said and done. Which will then likely result in a lengthy murder mystery, where about 75% of the people in Port Charles will be suspects, lol.

Małgosia continued, “Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over, but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family.

Now, let us know do you remember when Cynthia made her sitcom debut in Titus? Share your thoughts via the comment section on Cynthia’s many TV roles and the passing of Stacy Keach in the comment section. But first, check out the very first episode of Titus with Cynthia Watros below!
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.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.
This is a developing story. You can check out Antonio’s official statement below.
