General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL PROMO: Someone is About To Come Face To Face With Their Past!
In this week’s promo for ABC’s General Hospital, you watch and hear “Patient Six” (Steve Burton) say, “Please help me get home to my family.”
And as viewers saw on last Friday’s Cliffhanger, the guy seems to have lost five years of his life, not realizing it was the year 2017!
In this teaser for the upcoming action, it appears that if Burton is the true Jason, when Billy Miller (Jason) and Kelly Monaco (Sam) take a trip, will it hold more than they bargained for?
Meanwhile, what will happen when the key people in “Patient Six’s” life realize he is alive ? Who will they believe is the real Jason? Those people include: Carly (Laura Wright), Sam (Kelly Monaco), Sonny (Maurice Benard), Monica (Leslie Charleson), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst).
Watch the promo after the jump, and then weigh-in how you think the next beat of the story will go down, and who do you think will actually be the first person from “Patient Six'” loved ones an friends to see him first? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drew may be a clone of the real Jason, and or vice versa.
I think when the two Jasons face each other, there may be an explosion of a different kind. Each of their memories will blend into one another’s.
Sam and Drew are going out of town and Jason is coming into town?
It looks like Jason is opening up the door to Alex’s house?
GH traditionally heats up a week BEFORE sweeps and then lulls us to sleep!
Lets hope this turns out much better than FLUKE!
don’t say “Fluke” three times, it will unleash more horror!
Thats funny!
We are truly blessed by our brilliant head writer Shelly Altman. She is such a gem for GH.
The door Jason is coming thru looks like Sonny’s patio door. I guarantee his first scene will be with MB his true love!!
i can see them running into each other’s arms in slow motion…lol
I fear you are correct, k/kay!….This is the seminal moment they (but not we….) have been waiting for since the day “Stonecold” was unceremoniously dumped from Pier 52…Sonny and Jason together again…at long last!!!!! (Please pass the sick bag….)
@Shay. I hear Burton & Jackson’s restaurant is closed supposedly moving to a different location?
Now, we’re talkin’ , Kay. You got that right.
How about to Port Charles, k/kay? The town could use a new eatery, not to mention, Lucky’s return! Oh, yeah!
Well, i doubt it will be Monica…
You are probably correct, jimh, but I wish it would be Monica! After all the heartache she has suffered by the loss of her “boys,” it would be a beautiful moment were she to be the first to discover that Jason has returned home to Port Charles and that she actually has twin stepsons to keep the Q dynasty alive!
She will probably find out OFF camera! This show doesnt know how to pull ANY heartstrings!
Would be nice but not with the current writing team…probably will be Sonny..Jason’s one and only love…however, it would be a nice surprise if i am wrong and it is Monica???
So far the two Jasons has been a sleeper..
Steve was brought back in a whimper.
He should have brought in with a BANG!
The story should have been high power from day one not as weak as it is.
it seems most are worn out waiting for something intense and intriguing to happen.
The huge build-up and what was delivered was a fail- snoor..
It was dragged out way too long and now many just don’t care who is whom; the thrill is gone. just worn out.
If this same story had been written under Guza we’d be on the edge of our sets !!
We would be excited for the ‘what’s next’ and we’d be watching with anticipation.!
Imaging what Guza, and others, what they would have and could have given us with this story and imaging that makes me sad to see how horribly dry and stale GH has become.
Carly
IF….. I F – if
GH has any smart left
they will let this be Leslie Charleson MOMENT in the spotlight… her marquee
Monica Quartermaine damned heart – break – spills
tears at her heart
with all the other quartermaine “gone” why shouldn’t GH capitalize on this and
go the mother / son route
doing this… WITHOUT sonny / carly / sam and even Liz knowing whats going on
hash this out
ALL OUT
enter Liz , as she goes and sees Monica at her manse
Looks like he’s walking in the patio door of Sonny’s house when he calls out “anybody home”. That probably means that either Sonny or Carly will be the first to see him. Michael might possibly be there. I doubt they will leave the first Port Charles sighting to a secondary character like Max or Milo.
I don’t follow Twitter, but apparently Steve has already mentioned working with Laura Wright again, so that would be a point in Carly’s favor.
THE – thing, that bothers me…. if Monica gets … her son back.. plus a twin… plus an older son, in Franco . WITH Ned@the manse.
won’t this be too much…. testosterone ? for me ? I don’t have enough endorphin
I NEED Skye Quartermaine to help me
GH – balance the Q. and hire Robin Christopher. let’s make this cat on a hot tin roof
that way… you can fire all the Corinthos clan and let’s watch them rot
whilst the cast as it were can find life
GH blows all the others away !
I wouldn’t go that far. I find GH boring as all heck.
I recommend anyone who had trouble falling asleep put on the other 3 soaps, Zzzzzzzzzzz
I don’t think he’s going to be revealed as Jason yet. That would be too easy
It looks like the door 2 Sonny’s house, I think it will b Carly he sees first, this is a great story so far, the writers are doing a really good job
I agree…I am enjoying SB’s stealth and story, so far. The downside is my ‘spending’ more time with St. Sonny and his sidekick, Carly.
Since Monica already had her “not-dead son walking through the door” moment with AJ, I doubt these writers will go there. It’s not Alexis’ house, as she was still in the lake house when SB/Jason left, so unfortunately it has to be Sonny.
I’m more interested in finding out what happened to Drew when Betsy said he supposedly died. I don’t think Helena had the forward thinking to take a 3-year old knowing he’d have killer instincts. Either Susan didn’t die at the hands of Crane Tolliver or perhaps she, too, had a twin, either of whom came to claim Drew from Betsy. Gail Ramsey hasn’t acted in 25 years, but it would be great to see her again as either Susan or her unbeknownst twin.
Could it be the balcony entrance at Sam’s? Makes more sense that Jason would wish to return to his wife and son first….(Yes, Steve, even before he goes to genuflect before the altar of St. Sonny!) As for “what happened to Drew?” Maybe Heather found someone else wishing to buy a little boy, so she absconded with the child in order to receive an additional payout. I never underestimate Ms. Webber’s greed and ingenuity when it comes to pulling off such capers! All I know is we need another Heather appearance to shed some light on this ongoing mystery! Paging Robin Mattson!
The split second Steve Burton rolled into the water that day I knew he’d be back. This is all very Todd Manning-esque.
“at the end of the day”
TPTB really care about fan tune in and neilson ratings
expletive
i’m not so far off track to insinuate the gall that muddles this show.. with overload on Sonny and Carly.. the dullard
if shelley and frank are on “THEIR” course
Steve Burton will run in to :
Maurice Benard.. yeah i’ll say the actors name who stinks .. as Sonny
will it be him ? who is an affront , to keep .. the focus of GH, his
and MB and GH trot out Laura Wright.. because she’s loud enough to bring their show an emmy ? are they that dingbat cray cray to sting the audience that much more ?
Carly is not meaningful enough to carry any more.
I’ve posted above.. that it had better be…. Monica and then Liz.. who will reel all the emotion
I’ll give GH 1 year before there is an R.I.P. next to it. Anna and Finn are a bore. It ‘s as though the writers don’t know what to do with them, and it shows. Lucas and Brad where “dropped like a hot potato !” Alexi, Ashley, and Watkins are being let go. Now, Jessica Tuck, another new face is coming to town. Pristina is the best story that GH had going. So what, Parker is NOT Kristina’s professor. They are 2 consenting adults. There is nothing wrong with this pairing. They have amazing chemistry. I know chemistry, I have been married to my amazing husband for 32 years !! However, It seems to be acceptable for a mob princess to have sex with a priest !! So sick of Carly and Sonny. Their relationship has been re-hashed so much, I can’t remeber if they are married. Valentin and Nina are nauseating. Now, Steve Burton has decided to honor us with his presence and TPTB are bowing to his every move !! Hopefully, Kristina and Parker will relocate to Genoa City !! Y & R knows how to write a love story.
I agree that Anna and Finn lack chemistry. Finola’s an excellent actress, but she seems to playing down in this storyline.
While it was a mistake to bump Watkins off contract, it appears he’s staying on recurring for a while. Ainsworth booked other tv/movie work, so she was not let go. Hopefully her career takes off, but she can always return. Without Kristina, there’s no need for Parker.

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.
