GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Figures Out Michael is the Father of Sasha’s Baby
On the Tuesday, January 28th episode of General Hospital, several key turning points should accelerate the action for the rest of this week on the ABC soap opera.
First, after Tracy (Jane Elliot) gives Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) a hard time at how she prepares the drinks, and after Sasha tells Tracy to stop being so “dramatic in a room full of Quartermaines, Tracy jumps on the couch and screams there is a mouse in the bookcase and demands Sasha get it, However, Sasha refuses to climb up the shelves. She then reveals why … she is pregnant.
After Sasha’s declaration, and how she explains the child is not Cody’s, and it is from a one-night stand, and that she will raise the baby on her own, Jason (Steve Burton) is clued-in. At the same time, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) pipes up that he was raised by a single mother, and never knew his dad, prompting Lois (Rena Sofer) to a shoot a look over to Brook Lynn (She obviously knows that Gio is BLQ’s son, as has been rumored).

Earlier, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Lois had a heart-to-heart about when Brook Lynn was a teenager and gave her baby up for adoption. Lois asks if she felt pushed or regretted the decision, Brook Lynn says at the time, she was not ready to be a mother to a child. However, she often wonders what “they” (since she is unaware if she had a boy or a girl), would be like and how they are doing as Lois looks nervous.
Chase (Josh Swickard) has his own big news for Brook Lynn. After she is excited to report to her mother, and later to Chase, that the tests from the doctors show she can conceive a child, her husband tells her he got his test results. Chase breaks the news to Brook Lynn that he cannot father a child.

Meanwhile, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) learns Sam was murdered by a lethal dose of digitalis and is now on a mission to find who did this all on her own, after speaking with Portia (Brook Kerr) and Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) at the hospital. Also at GH, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) is lamenting over his injuries and how he may never play football again, while Trina (Tabyana Ali) tries to find him some hope by having her mom talk to him about seeing a sports orthopedic specialist.

Later, outside of the Quartermaines and near the boat house an upset Sasha is confronted by Jason as he says, “Does Michael know?” Leaving Sasha utterly surprised he figured it out.

While in Germany, Brennan (Charles Mesure) leaves a flirty conversation with Carly (Laura Wright) and heads to a thermal spa, where without him knowing it (he is laying on his back with his eyes closed), a voice comes in and speaks to him as if to be a female employee, only it’s Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) with a taught rope, preparing to strangle Brennan. We fade to black.

Take a look at a preview for today’s Wednesday, January 29th episode of General Hospital below.
Now weigh-in: Do you think Sasha will admit to Jason, she is carrying Michael’s child? Is this where Jason offers to pretend to be the father, and eventually the two fall in love? Now that Chase has told Brook Lynn he cannot father her child, is this what prompts her to go on a search for the child she gave up as a teen, much to the chagrin of Lois? And, will Valentin and Brennan hash out their feud, and will Brennan help Valentin return to the U.S. with Charlotte thus bringing him back to the GH canvas more permanently? Weigh-in via the comment section.
LOVE GH!!! It may hit a couple of potholes along the way, but I really, really like watching things unfold, the brilliant acting, and the whole shebang!
On Wednesday show..Sasha is already feeling the baby move?? A google search says not before 16 weeks.. at least.
There goes any believe the writers are based in reality
the writers have no original ideas. now chase and blq can’t have a baby sounds like Molly and tj huh? now Brennan Valentin clash before it was Anna Valentin first Ava was burned and received miraculous care now Mikey ditto…. BORING and what isn’t boring is disgusting
Ordinarily, we would say, then it wasn’t Michael, but she was not with Cody or anyone else, even Maxie noticed it was an early sign. There may be a physical problem or possibly twins?
We all knew that would happen know Brooklyn will go looking for son or daughter I do believe Lois knows who it is been watching gh since it hired for 15 mins looking forward to see how they have monaca die hoping they give her great memorial should have had a part with her and jason don’t like these new writers too man̈y are leaving can’t wait to see if Chad is replaced with a new actor
Love the idea of Sasha and Jason getting married and falling in love.
That’s a horrible idea. First of all, Jason’s already been down this road twice before. First when he was baby Michael’s first “father” and his only parent when Carly got an attack of “post partum depression” and dropped off the planet for several months.
Then again when Sonny asked him to care for a pregnant Sam, though sadly that baby died.
At least Carly & Sam were age appropriate at the time. I don’t see something similar happening with Sasha who’s youn enough to be his daughter. He will certainly look out for her now that he knows she’s carrying Michael’s child, but I don’t see Jason going down the same road as Drew.
No, not Jason and Shasa. She should be with Cody.

Cynthia played by Christopher’s level-headed, big-hearted girlfriend trying to build a normal life with him. In fact, Cynthia’s role on the sitcom was first series regular role after her Daytime Emmy run of Annie Dutton on Guiding Light which ran from 1994-1998.

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.

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.

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.
