GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Cuts the Brakes to Ric’s Car By Mistake and Puts His Life and Elizabeth’s in Jeopardy
On the Friday, March 28 cliffhanger of General Hospital, Kristina’s (Kate Mansi) rage gets the best of her after yet another showdown with Ava Jerome (Maura West), where the women go at each other for Kristina crashing through the window at the Metro Court hotel and losing the baby she was carrying.
Kristina still insists Ava pushed her, while Ava says the court rules it was an accident. The two women also go at it over Ava refusing to help Sonny (Maurice Benard) immediately when he was writhing on the floor with chest pains and needing his pill. That’s when Kristina came upon the scene and accused Ava of almost killing her father. Ric (Rick Hearst), who was at Ava’s, overhears the whole argument.
After Kristina leaves, she goes to the parking garage of Ava’s apartment building, and decides as a payback to cut the wires to the brakes of Ava’s car. Meanwhile, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) shows up at Ava’s to give Ric important papers she located to help Portia (Brook Kerr) get out from under the blackmail mess with Brad (Parry Shen) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).

Kristina heads to Charlie’s and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) asks where she’s been. Kristina says she had a huge fight with Ava and has sudden realization she made a terrible mistake. She rushes out to go fix it as Lucky chases after her. Now speeding in her car, Kristina tries to call Ava to warn her about the brakes she cut in her car, but Ava won’t take the call and sips on a martini instead.
That’s when the episode comes to its conclusion, and we see the license plate on the car that Kristina cut, and the camera pan up to reveals it’s Ric’s car and he has Elizabeth in the passenger seat. Ric is driving Liz home so she doesn’t have to take a ride share, and because Aiden has her car at the moment.

As the two talk about helping Portia, Liz tells Ric to slow down and when he tries to push the brakes, he can’t stop the car and we hear Liz screaming and the car veering off the road. This move by Kristina will prove costly in her relationship with her sister, Molly (Kristen Vaganos), with whom she just made up with. After all, Ric is Molly’s biological father and now he could be potentially injured. In official GH spoilers for the Monday, March 31st episode it shares that Molly receives devastating news!
In addition, Lucky and Liz were planning a trip to New York to rekindle their romance. What will happen if Lucky finds out it was Kristina who cut the brakes on the car in her vendetta against Ava that potentially injured Elizabeth? Stay tuned.
Now let us know, is it time for Kristina to get some mental help for not being able to accept the death of her baby? Will this be the moment she will realize how deeply-disturbed she is, or do you think Kristina had a right to tamper with Ava’s breaks given all the pain and suffering Ava has caused the Corinthos family? Will Kristina cover up what she did now for months to come? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Kristina needs a one way ticket to Shadybrook or Ferncliff.
Yes!! Is anyone else sick of Kristina and her many, many fuck ups? I am SO sick of her. All she does is bring drama
It must be tiring and boring portraying Kristina after a while. She never learns from her mistakes and gets worse every year. She’s like a reactive, temper tantrum-throwing teenager always. I would totally understand if Kate Mansi doesn’t want to stay at GH beyond her contract unless something (anything) changes for Kristina. Ava is a despicable character too, but at least her character is calculated and layered. Ava’s written the way villains should be written. Kristina is simply written to grate on our nerves.
Kristina is a liar, schemer , and her father’s child. She deserves every terrible thing that happens to her as all of the connivers on the show! Hopefully, she won’t be allowed to be sent to a mental hospital! Anyone who is in favor of these criminals on Soaps, have no morals when it comes real life!
Hopefully, the accident paves the way for Kate Mansi’s exit as Kristina. I loved her immediately as the recast but now the character is unrecognizable and Kristen Vaganos is killing it as a very successful Molly recast.
Hopefully, the writers write out Kristina and give the character a much needed break.
I would say that Kate should return to days of our lives as Abigail Horton but what’s the point with the actor who’s played Chad Dimera is exiting.
Yes the Molly recast is quite likeable. Good casting there.
Yeah, it took them three times to get it right, but they finally found a good one. Even though her life has been a long string of chaotic family traumas since then. Dead baby… dead sister.. and now her dad circling the drain. (Ric will probably survive of course. Unless the writers already have him scheduled to be a heart donor for his brother)
EP and writers for GH, let Kristina grow up and move on. She continues to do things that blow up in a major way. Please stop giving us the same thing over and over again. The same could be said for Ava, Willow, Portia, who knows that Curtis hates things being kept from him, Brad, Lulu and Joss. Characters who continue to do stupid things are not interesting.
Plz take Drew and Wilow off the show.
As much as I like Ric, it would make sense if he should surcome to his injury from the car accidonent, maybe his heart would go to save Sonny’s life by means of a heart transplant.. being Sonny will be having surgery on his heart out of state and Ric being Sonny’s brother he’d be a reasonable match to be a donor. With hospital rules Sonny won’t know who the donor was.
Rick should be saved. Sonny is a murderer,
killer, mob boss it’s time for him to go and take
the whole Corinthos clan with you.
Yeah… let’s either roll GH back to what it was in 1976, or let it be completely overrun by OLTL & AMC castaways.
Results would be the same either way: Cancellation within 13 weeks. Just like it was before the Spencers came to town. And again right before they returned in 1993. Accompanied by America’s favorite coffee importer.
This gal is nutter than a Fruitcake. Just hope no-one was killed.
yeah, Kristina is cray cray for sure, and lets not forget alot like her father, both act very entitled but lets not forget Ava either, she never learns her lessons either, she just keep poking and poking and one of these days she’s gonna get hit or like it happens in most cases, it could be somebody innocent like Avery, so this is not going to end well for this trio and the people around them.
Kristina needs to pay for this , she knows she was not pushed from window, and now she’s endangering. Lives. Little spoiled bratt. Needs mental help .
Get rid of Willow and Drew. Lulu should have stayed in a coma! I have been watching Beyond the Gates. I need a break from General Hospital
Same here
Kristina is a frickin’ nutcase! As violent, hateful, and unstable as her father.
As opposed to Ava Jerome, who is the first chair harp player in Heaven’s symphony orchestra, right?
Kristina needs to pay for what she’s done! She also has to go to Shadybrook!!
Hope this is the end of Kristina. Alexis should have seen this looong time ago., I can understand wanting to “shelter” one’s child—-but the results could be disastrous—as we have seen. This is not a first.
Aside—Double espresso? Ohhh—never ever !! No such thing. And, in a paper cup?? Has anyone on GH ever been to Italy? No true Italian would tolerate what I’ve just seen. Mamma mia!!

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.
