Should of been Ava not Ric and Elizabeth in the car accident!!!
We know that. That was the whole idea, Kristina thought it was Ava’s car she was messing with.
Wrong. Kristina should NOT be cutting anyone’s brake lines. This is the same kind of thoughtless and reckless behavior that cost Molly and TJ their baby in the first place. How long will Lucky hide her crime? And when the truth comes out, will her parents and sisters forgive her and coddle her like they always do?Even if this idiotic loser had cut the right brake line, did she even think that Ava could have killed innocent bystanders?
Or that her daughter could have been in the car!! Now that Lucky knows Kristina is responsible for Elizabeth being hurt, fingers crossed he’ll tell what Kristina said – that she cut the brakes!
I hope he tells everyone. I’m not a fan of how Kristina’s story line has been. And she needs to stop calling Irene Adela. It was her fault that she list Molly and TJ’s baby. She needs to own up for her irresponsible actions
That would have been bad if Avery was in the car… I have a different option on that. It would have destroyed Kristina… She knows Ava killed her unborn child she set on getting revange
Ava is not responsible Irene’s death. It was an accident and an accident caused by Kristina’s reckless actions.
Didn’t realize Lucky was that close to Kristina and keeping his mouth closed about what she said. He should have dragged her by her hair, if necessary to the P.C.P.D.
Kristina’s parents and Lucky’s parents have been friends for years, so it’s an extension of those friendships that Lucky and Kristina would be friends themselves, and of course they have been working together at Charlies, which Lucky himself pointed out, was much like Sonny & Luke running the blues club together, back in the day.
Of course now Elizabeth has been injured in a situation Kristina created, so that’s obviously going to put Lucky in an awkward position. If it was just Ric who got hurt, Lucky probably wouldn’t be all that bothered by it, because he has his own reasons to hate Ric. But Elizabeth is the love of his life, so he obviously is going to choose her over protecting Kristina if it comes down to that.
That’s not to say he will be in a big hurry to volunteer the information until he absolutely has to. It’s not like Ric Lansing hasn’t pissed off enough mortals to have any number of potential suspects for cutting his brakes. Kristina only becomes a serious suspect here if the cops realize that Ava was the intended target, and not Ric.
Their families are close. She’s Dante’s sister, Luke and
Sonny were very close friends. They all go way back….
Satan and Rebecca 1, you both make some good points. I’d forgotten about Kristina and Luke’s families being close, but I’m just sick of everyone tiptoeing around her. If they ever continue this SL, I wonder who they will really blame?
But we’ve never seen them interact until just now. It’s like suddenly they’re close cousins. Lucky looks irritated by Kristina as if,” How did I get stuck with this whiny, hysterical twit?”
You’re assuming that they’re close because Luke and Sonny were once close. But we never saw any scenes between the two until quite recently.
You’re right. They’ve never been close. I guess we have to assume they became close behind the scenes. Same thing with Carly and Lucas. Lucas should despise Carly for destroying his dad’s life. Instead you’ve got him joining the Protect Carly Club headed by the club president, Jason Morgan. They all act like Carly is a 22 year old ingenue instead of a ridiculously stupid 55 year old woman.
And yet ironically you think that Lucas should hate his sister for what she did with Tony when she WAS 22 (or maybe younger? not sure if they specifically mentioned her age at the time, but she was somewhere in the early 20s when she first arrived in Port Charles)
Carly’s actions at that time were based on her misunderstanding of why Bobbie gave her up for adoption. She and Bobbie got over it and were very close in later years. Had Tony not died of whatever weird pandemic killed him off, he probably would have been over his past with Carly by this point as well. So it’s a little silly to expect Lucas should still be dwelling on something that he probably has no actual memories of himself, considering how young he was at the time his parents marriage disintegrated.
Carly was a full grown woman in her mid to late twenties when she systematically torpedoed Tony’s life. Mind you, he was still grieving the loss of BJ when Carly crashed into his life. She seduced him, and she lied to him telling him that he was Michael’s father. Tony becomes emotionally attached to Michael and then the truth of his paternity comes out and Tony snaps and kidnaps Michael. When he is found not guilty due to temporary insanity, Carly shoots him in the head. She also turned her personal thugs, Sonny and Jason, on him. After Hurricane Carly happened, Tony’s life was never the same. It would be forgivable in soap land had it ever been acknowledged but instead, she is portrayed as sone kind of put upon heroine.
Lucky has never been close to Kristina. The writers just threw that in there as a plot device.
Good point!
Lucky’s not going to rat her out. His father, Luke, and
Sonny, go way back. And he can see that Kristina is losing it. He’ll probably convince her to get help or maybe even speak to Alexis. But he’s definitely not going to go against her.
He should. Enabling Kristina is what turned her into such a mess in the first place. Molly has been through much worse and ye, she remains stoic, empathetic and strong. That’s because her parents don’t constantly placate her. Kristina is a horrible human being.
Kristina is on the dumb side and has no common sense. Kristina strictly a me myself and I person. Be glad when her contract runs out. She has worn this character into the ground.!!!!
Everyone knows Ava put them shoes in the way to make it seem like she tripped over them she didn’t Ava pushed her.
What’s the point to a soap if no one does anything bad? The story is Kristina losing it; she’s been losing it for months now. She’s been going over the edge. Even so, after she cut the brakes she did rethink it and tried to warn Ava…but it was too late. Without drama and characters going off the rails, the genre wouldn’t be what it is. It’d be Little House On the Prairie and the Brady Bunch relocated to Port Charles, lol.
Kristina shouldn’t be cutting anyone’s brakes. As a matter of fact she should be in a mental institution. But considering the source of who her father is, it doesn’t come as a complete surprise, at her violent attitude. I can’t imagine having someone like Kristina as a mother.
She’s not even a likable or charming lunatic. She’s immature, smug, self- entitled and spoiled.
Exciting week at GH
Maybe Ric will need a heart or some other organ transplant and Kristina can offer hers.
That be funny
If organ transplants are on the table, it’s more likely to go the other direction. Remember that Sonny is having serious heart issues at the moment. If Ric should happen to go “brain dead” from his head injuries, and Sonny’s heart condition should worsen to the point where a heart transplant is necessary, then what better donor than his own brother?
I really hope it doesn’t go that direction, because it obviously would cause Molly to hate both Kristina and Sonny forever, and force Alexis to be torn between her two surviving daughters and probably send her running back to the bottle as a result.
Nobody needs to see that again.
I hope not. I am enjoying Ric’s return very much, especially his hair ! ( yes, I am a bald jealous man )
All I know is that when Ric is in a scene, I’m watching. When Sonny is in a scene, I’m yawning. He’s become dull, and I hate how the mayor of Port Charles treats this murdering thug like the pillar of the community.
I think the girl needs professional help
Christina is crazy in head look at her eyes Rick heard her tell Ava she going pay and threaten her she not going get away with it that she not going to hurt anyone else put her in jail where she belong with those rat eyes of her even her mom can’t get her out of this watch this they going play that she was out of her mind with grieving try to put her in a mental hospital instead of jail Molly never forgive her for for hurting her dad and elibetha
Amen
So doesn’t alot of them on her she not the only one out of control
Kristina is wacky and out of control. Ava was exonerated and Kristina needs to get past it. Ava has had her tragic times as well, and I’m tired of everyone else facing consequences except Sonny, who always gets away with everything.
So Ava is gonna just continue to be able to do wrong no matter what it is it and never face any consequences? How long me
No I’m not mad at her for what she did she had no ideal that Liz would be in the car.. Rick deserved it after the way he treated her in court… To bad Liz was in the car.. I feel bad for Molly an Kristina relationship now . Once she finds out what her sister did.. is Kristina leaving the show? It sure looking that way with all the crap they are having her do.. she needs to see a counselor. To help her. Not be locked up
Your train of thought just derailed and crashed. It’s a bit concerning.
Please focus on other stories. Others are more interesting than Kristian revenge,….

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.
