General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jordan is in Bad Shape Following Car Crash and Explosion
The Wednesday, April 8 episode of General Hospital, began with the pick-up of the car crash that left Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) in peril. After Curtis woke up, he realized Jordan was knocked out at the steering wheel as the car began leaking gas.
Curtis tries to get Jordan to come to, but to no avail. He desperately tries to get her out of the vehicle, but he can’t get the passenger door to open and Jordan is trapped inside.
Meanwhile, Carly (Laura Wright), who is making out with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) gets a call from Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) who is stranded on the road, and who is using Danny’s (Asher Antonyzyn) phone. Carly hands the phone to Valentin at Charlotte’s request. Valentin and Carly head out to find Charlotte and Danny. However, while driving on the road, Curtis is flagging down their car needing urgent help with Jordan.

WHO REALLY CAUSED THE CRASH?
Valentin stays behind to help Curtis get to a badly injured Jordan, while Carly drives off to find Charlotte and Danny. Carly finds them and sees Charlotte’s car which was clearly in an accident. Danny says he was driving.
Carly takes them to her house and calls someone from Corinthos Towing to repair the damaged car and have it returned to her. Charlotte asks where her father is. Carly says he stopped to help another accident. Then, Carly asks if they’re the ones who caused the accident? But could that be a red-herring?
At the end of the episode, Valentin and Curtis free Jordan from the car just after it explodes, and they all fall to the ground. One Valentin hears the sirens from the police or paramedics ring out, he makes a run for it, leaving an anguish Curtis wondering if he will lose Jordan forever?
BACK FROM WHERE I STARTED

In other news, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) was dragged back to Wyndemere by her brother, Cassius (Ryan Paevey) and apologized to Sidwell (Carlo Rota) for the trouble she has caused, but she falls short of telling him that it was Cullum who killed his son, Marco.
Now, Britt is back to square one trapped at Wyndemere in the lab to finish Faison’s final project with the hopes that Cullum will continue to supply her with her meds to warn off her Huntington’s disease symptoms, but will he do so?
So, with the Charlie’s Pub opening and Brook Lynn arriving late, do you think it could have been her, who was in the other vehicle that crashed into Jordan and Curtis, or someone else? And what of Jordan? Does she survive her injuries sustained in the crash? Weigh-in with your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But first, watch what happens when Carly and Valentin can’t fight their attraction to one another, which ends with a distressed phone call.
I’m afraid that I may be right about Jordan biting the dust after the accident. I am not happy about that.
Carly and Valentin!!!!!!!!!!!! That woman has absolutely no judgement when it comes to the men she gets involved with.
Carly’s theme song should be,” I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say No “ from the musical Oklahoma.
And they have zero chemistry. Worst pairing in years.
Ummm… she had more chemistry with Valentin than she ever exhibited with Drew. Her best recent pairing was with the original Brennan.
They just don’t fit. And while Laura Wright is a beautiful and talented actress, she’s just plain awkward&clumsy trying to be sexy. Carly and Valentin are just ick together.
But.. but… but.. you must be wrong- all the men of Port Charles are madly in love with her. She must be sexy as all hell! We laymen just don’t get Carly’s enormous sex and romantic appeal so it needs to be redundantly jammed down our throats.
Well, add Isiah to the suspect list.
Yeah, this is going to become quite the clusterphuck. Isaiah looks possibly guilty because he was going to make a “secret house call”. The kids look guilty because they were on the road, and Carly called in the services of Corinthos Towing & Autobody to fix their car. Brooklynn may or may not have been driving drunk, and was somehow late to Gio’s musical performance.
Of course these could all be red herrings. Let’s not forget that Jordan has been working “undercover” within the Legion of Dumb. And who’s to say that Cullum didn’t do something to her car the same night that he stabbed Marco and attempted to kill Britt & Jason on the docks?
Jordan thinks she’s been careful in her “undercover” work, but she’s still frequently meeting with Laura, and the Legion of Dumb are no doubt aware that she’s back together with Curtis. Who obviously isn’t a friend of Sidwell & company. So it’s not all surprising if Cullum was on to her and consdered her a “loose end” who needed to be “tied up”.
I think you’re on to something. Plus leading up to the accident, both Curtis and DA Turner warned Jordan that she might get caught in the crossfire with Sidwell’s misguided (and pretty damn stupid) grief rage directed toward Sonny.

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.
