GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tracy is Monica’s “Sister of Her Heart” Who Then Throws Everyone Out of the Qs, Britt is Under Sidwell’s Thumb as Her Health Suffers
On the Tuesday, November 4 episode of General Hospital, after learning that in Monica’s real last will and testament left the house to the “sister of her heart,” Tracy (Jane Elliot), it becomes an “I gotcha” moment for her, and soon she resorts to her old ways.
First, Ronnie (Erika Slezak) apologizes to Tracy and is grateful for the locket and money Monica left her to buy a house back in Durham, North Carolina. Ronnie apologizes to Tracy and hands her the keys to the house. However, Tracy yells at her to get out.
Ronnie says she will pack her things and be gone by tomorrow, but Tracy disagrees. She says Ronnie should be grateful for her freedom and wants her gone from the premises right now. That prompts Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Chase (Josh Swickard), Michael (Rory Gibson), Ned (Wally Kurth) and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) to all stand up to Tracy, saying that if Tracy kicks Ronnie to the curb, they are leaving too!

Tracy fires back and says taking Ronnie’s side is the same as being OK with what Martin (Michael E. Knight) put them all through with the fake will. Annoyed and angered, Tracy tells her entire family to get out. Next thing you know, they follow Ronnie out the door. Ned is the last to leave. He warns his mother not to throw away the only family she has left out of spite. As Ned exits, Tracy now stands alone with the keys to Monica’s house.
THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SAM’S DEATH
At Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) office, (they finally bring up Sam’s death which was back on October 30, 2024), Drew (Cameron Mathison) tells her Scout is grieving the death of her mother. So, he’s whisking the little girl back to D.C. Alexis says Scout should be with her family to grieve Sam and invites Drew to her house with the little girl. Alexis wants to also invite Danny, who is Sam’s son, but Drew won’t allow it.
Next, Drew blackmails her again; that if Danny is present in this get-together, she will never see Scout again, and that she needs to work faster to get Willow acquitted. In the end, Alexis backs down, so at least Scout can be with her as they try to get through the anniversary of Sam’s death.
THE BRITT, SIDWELL, FAISON CONNECTION
In a revealing moment, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) winds up in the General Hospital stairwell with Sidwell (Carlo Rota) behind her. She tells him that Dalton (Daniel Goddard) suggested they cut Sidwell out of their plans. Sidwell tells Britt to accept Dalton’s offer. She says she’ll crunch the numbers for him, but won’t be his spy. Sidwell angrily throws down on Britt. He tells her that he will cut off Faison’s experimental drug that is keeping her alive, and keeping her Huntington’s disease at bay, if she doesn’t do as he says.
When Britt enters back on to the hospital floor, Jason (Steve Burton) is there. He can see her hands are shaking, and asks her if her Huntington’s disease is back and if she is no longer in remission? Britt covers it up and the two stare at each other. Will Jason get to the bottom of the Britt mystery?
So, what did you think of the Tracy throwing everyone out of the Quartermaine mansion, and are you still glad that in the end that Monica’s house was actually left to Tracy and not Michael? What do you think of Sidwell, now having his tentacles in everything? Does this mean that ‘Cesar Faison’s last project” was actually the madman working on a cure for Huntington’s disease? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below, but first watch the moment when Tracy learns Monica gave her the house and is the true “Sister of My Heart.”
Don’t get me wrong… I love Jane Elliot, but absolutely hate Tracy’s suburenance! It has grown very tired. I would like to see her actually show her appreciation for Ronnie stepping up and being truthful, and appreciation her family more, since she claims they mean so much to her.
I’m hoping that on Wednesday, Gio helps Tracy see the error of her ways. That, or he adapts the family hobby and blackmails her to invite everyone back.
Congrats Tracy, you own and control a house. But it’s up to her to make it a home.
Looks like Martin is going to the dark side. This will not end well for him.
Gio does light up the screen. He has a great smile and shows really emotion in his facial expressions.
After watching today’s show I am wondering if you wrote the script. It played out just as you said it would.
Lol. I would’ve had Gio say “our family”. He did say “this family” which is a step forward.
Looking forward to Erika’s final scenes. Glad they were able to get 6 weeks of episodes from Erika’s 3 weeks on set. Maybe Ronnie will make mention of a bus ride back to Durham with a connection in Llanview.
I hope they have Ms. Slezak back from time to time as a recurring character.
You know why it was Monica’s house, because it was more than just a house, it was a home.
Tracey, need to stop being so mean and bitter, Monica gave her that house, because she wanted her family to be together, The ghost of Monica need to pay Tracey a visit, so she can see how wrong she is, Tracey need a man , and a life, she kinda miserable
I think it is despicable that Disney and ABC cannot get to a settlement, so all the people that pay lots of money on Disney and Utube tv. If.this isn’t settled soon, I will be cancelling both and get another streaming service. Everybody needs to boycott Disney.
Erika Slezak No don’t leave yet great actress. Been missing you. Enjoyed your time please return for longer time.
Turn off the music in this program it’s obnoxiously loud and hard to hear most conversations

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.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava’s (Maura West) daughter Avery looks quite different, starting on today’s November 9 episode of General Hospital. That’s because GH has made Avery into a full-blown teenager and the role is now being played by actress Alya Bullington.
In her debut, the Tennessee native was thrown into the deep soap waters with Daytime Emmy winners, Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy (Josslyn). Bullington weighed-in to TV Insider about her first scene which featured Avery overhearing a fight between Sonny and Josslyn.
She explained “It was something I have never done before, I did not have a lot of experience with the screaming and the crying stuff, but I got my first script, and I was like, ‘OK, this is a huge opportunity to learn so much about how that stuff works and to become this character that I have never even tried playing before.’”

THE TEENAGED VERSION OF AVERY WILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH
Speaking of working with McCoy, Bullington shared, “She’s incredible. I remember her just laughing and making jokes on set, and then the minute that they started taping, she just locked in and she cried immediately, and my first thought was, ‘I want to be able to do that.’
The soap opera newcomer added, “I think she just inspired me so much because she is so great and she can just lock into whatever character she wants to in the moment.”
The character of Avery was born back in 2014, but as recently as the October 8 episode of General Hospital, the character was suddenly referred to as a teenager. This is the second young female character in recent months to be aged up following the casting of Kayden Brenna Tokarski as Scout Cain.
As for her take on Avery and what’s ahead, Alya said,“She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”
So, what do you think about General Hospital making Avery a teenager? Are you excited to see the conflict between Sonny, Ava and Avery now that they have aged up the character? Share your thoughts and welcome Alya to GH via the comment section below.
