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.

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.

It disgusts me what this is what a character as rich as Elizabeth Webber has been reduced to. I have seen this scene at least three times. As an Elizabeth fan, I’m sick of it. It’s like RC and company didn’t watch the show past the last 3 years. Elizabeth is more than just her affair with Nikolas. She’s a rape survivor, mother, artist, and someone who has history with pretty much every GH character on the show. Why do we constantly have to hear about Elizabeth’s “baggage” (FV’s word, not mine) and not Carly’s or Sam’s or even Alexis’? Why is Elizabeth reduced to walking around hitting people she doesn’t agree with like she can’t fight back verbally. It’s insulting. Why can there not be a strong female on the show who isn’t a bitch? I don’t understand why it is so difficult to write a story for her that doesn’t involve her being jealous of someone else. I’m happy that Rebecca Herbst is working more, but this stupidity isn’t an Elizabeth story I want to watch.
There are no strong women on the show. Every female character’s existence is tied to man. Sabrina to Patrick. Sam to Silas. Alexis now blushes and acts like a 14 year old around Julian. Robin comes back and she waits for Patrick to decide if he wants her. And the most insulting ridiculous rewrite of a character, Carly not only being in LOVE with Franco, but twittering around like a doe eyed schoolgirl in the process. And even Ava is so a flutter over a nineteen year old, that she can’t stay away and will ultimately betray her brother for him.
Now, Elizabeth is running around putting together the pieces of a Scooby Doo like caper because she’s infatuated with Nik. And of course the inevitable cat fight.
The women on this show are unrecognizable in the hands of RC. Their characters are pathetic. Their lives revolve around their male infatuations and of course most are prone to violence. Such cartoonish caricatures and cliches.
awww c’mon.. The GH women are powerful, and I sure in H would not want to mix it up with one..
Those women have done through hell and back more times than I can count and they are standing tall and strong..
Love the woman of GH
Thank god they are not Lunker’s with hair on their on their chests and BO..
They are famine strong..
I like a good cat fight 🙂 ..
And the strong women of GH !!
and— ALL women have the right to be with a man and love him and it has nothing to do with their inner strength (Go Carly & Franco- :)..
I still consider Ana and Tracy to be strong women. Although Dr. O surprised me a little bit. I thought she was more thuggish. But when I saw her with Victor, I couldn’t believe it. She’s a little weak. Just a little.
How right you are !!!’ Women’s liberation is going backwards instead of forwards. My mom showed me her burned bra. Lol. The women on GH are portrayed as witless and defenseless damsels in distress who can’t get a life without their male counterparts. I hope this illness of dependency on a man never befalls me . I would have never expected for Kiki to be the one to show some spunk and get into Michael’s face the way she did. You go girl !!!!
Well now, I would not like to be in Britt’s shoes as the wrath that is Elizabeth knocks on the door….
Got to hit the books….Gnite all.
I agree she has so much history.and writing stinks
The accent is about the only difference between Tracy and Dr. O. Tracy is malicious and greedy. Dr. O thinks she knows best about everything. “Mutter knows best.”
Ana is strong, so is Robin. Britt and Sabrina can’t exist without a man to revolve around. Carly is the worse. She has to have a man in her life.
i’m surprised it took liz that long to haul off and let britt have it…who the hell is britt to throw all liz’ past mistakes in her face, when she wasn’t even around to witness any of them..she was just deflecting the fact that what she did “STEALING ANOTHER PERSONS EMBRYO” and creating a child that belongs biologically to someone else…liz may have lied about her baby’s parentage and slept with her husband’s brother, but what britt is doing, KNOWING THE BABY BELONGS TO LULU AND DANTE, her new boyfriends sister is totally despicable.
To me it would have been quite powerful for Liz just to say, “it doesn’t really matter what you think Britt, because you’re going down.”
I thought, it was written… that , Britt, knew, she had an embryo implanted…
with her Mothers’ help… but she honestly, didn’t know… whos’…. reason… the staff, also found out… Dante and Lulu’s embryos are missing
and Britt put two and two together….
she’s bonded with Ben… and wants to keep him?
I want Britt to be gone. She has no right to talk to Liz like that, she isn’t Nik’s wife, just his live in girlfriend. Helena please come back and kill Britt. She has no purpose on GH!
Preaching to the choir here, sista.
Can’t wait! Really want Lulu and Dante to get their kid already; looking forward to Nicolas’ reaction.
As for Liz…I love this character. She’s one of the few remaining originals…”younger originals” and I agree…give the girl her own story!!!! Why is that so difficult?! She is not/should not be a supporting character!
As for Britt throwing crap in Liz’s face…the reality is a lot of characters on GH have done wrong so mudslinging is ridiculous. They can one-up each other but let’s take a peek:
Sonny murders people (supposedly…have we really seen this? LOL..kinda more talk than action)
Carly slept with and ultimately stole her mother’s husband
Monica cheated on Alan; Alan cheated on Monica
Liz slept with her husband/fiance’s brother
Nicola slept with his the love of his brother’s wife
Luke raped his wife before she became his wife
Tracy blackmailer (too many to mention)’ backstabber
the beloved ex-Jason: hired enforcer
Sam: enforcer’s wife; con artist
The list goes on and on…and each one of the above criticizes AJ! (which is the bigger frustration to me.)
GH…gotta love it.
I am happy Elizabeth/Rebecca slapped Brit!!! She deserved it and payback felt very sweet!!! I read the posts above and agree and disagree. Elizabeth/Rebecca deserves a good story and not just being everyone’s friend, mother and nurse maid. If she can get Nik away from Britch… whom I am not a fan of… the better!!! Go for it Liz!!!
As for no strong women on GH… disagree! Some have been written less strong recently and I will be watching if RC is reducing our strong women to mush… but so far I haven’t seen it with the exception of Carly possibly and maybe Robin… a bit!
Again way to go Liz!!! Will be hoping we get Liz and Nik back very soon!!!
Im looking forward to it…love a fight between two women…yes, bring in mutter from HELL…lol. I kind of agree somewhat with the other posters about stronger woman and all but soaps are fantasy entertainment, and if the story is not your cup of tea, then i say go drink something else!!!
If Connie’s coming back, is that for flashbacks showing who really killed her?
Funny…Britt remarked how she thought of Windmere as the house in Batman…a few posts ago because some fans commented on GHs comic book level of characters and plots so i jokingly wrote how Nik already had the mansion and a butler named Alfred and that next they’ll reveal Nik as Batman…lol!!!
good one jimh! Batman…Alfred…now if Robin comes back and moves in…
Well, I’ll take the minority opinion. I like Britt AND I like Liz and, while I’m not happy that Liz is involved in yet another paternity reveal here AND I don’t really care for her with Nik, I do think this is a rivalry that could have some teeth. Britt needed someone better to square off besides Sabrina the pink dust mop and Liz is always fun in bitch slamming mode. So bring it on, ladies!
My only concern is when all of Britt’s lies are exposede, Nikolas will dump her like a hot poker. Then who will she hook up with afterwards? PLEASE, don’t let it be A.J.- he derves better than The Britch! For once give him a REAL love interest who can make him happy without a third party in the distance- e.g., Carly/Sonny, Courtney/Jason, Elizabeth/Nikolas.
There’s still Anna as a strong women, although they try to dumb her down with criminals left an right getting away with murder. As for Liz / Rebecca I’m just glad she’s on to watch although I feel she needs to be more front n center. Hopefully she will stay and be more on. I take her over Sam and Carly any day of the week. More Liz, Anna , Ava , Tracy , Felicia Alexis and Molly , and less Carly, Sam , Kiki, Sabrina and Olivia .
At first I liked the romance between Britt and Nikolas— the misunderstood “bad” girl being redeemed by the love of the handsome prince– but now they are reducing it to a naive boob being conned once again by deceiving woman. If Britt had grown, if she had confessed to Nikolas from the get go, if we had seen some emotional growth, but instead we had a her yet again scheming to ” keep her man” and the man being too dumb to see the lies in front of him. They could have made this a really great love story, but now I really don’t care anymore they spoiled it—- imo.
As for Liz I still think she might be a better match for Patrick than Sabrina, but if not Patrick then Nikolas would be next yet not sure where the drama would be in it– but either way the character needs a better story that being reduced to a busy body.
I would have just given the evidence to Lulu & Dante… and if you wanted to play mind games with the Britch… then how about a ‘I know what you did’ or ‘you have 24 hours to tell Dante & Lulu the truth’ (with already giving them the truth) and then just sit back and watch the fireworks.
Takes one to know one, Liz! Which makes this story all the more rich. And if Liz thinks she’s only doing this to right a wrong and it has nothing to do with Nickolas, she is deluding herself.
HAPPY HAPPY!
Britt the Bitch is back!!!! love the bitch..
Poor wimpy Elizabeth will be run down and kicked to the curb by Britt if she doesn’t get a backbone , Elizabeth is not in Britts league and mutta will wipe the floor with wimpy Liz ..
this is going to be soooo good!!!!
I like both these characters, but methinks everything Britt said was true. Liz is down in the gutter with The Britch.
Go liz, Slapped that B%*$(…
it amazes me that people group liz with Brit.
BRIT showed up naked in a man’s house only to be turned down and damn near raped that man in an uninvited shower
Brit then framed her competition for murder
brit blackmailed her own patient
brit threatens to abort a child just to trap patrick
BRIT STOLE HER PATIENT’S (LULU AND DANTE) FERTILIZED EGG TO IMPREGNATE HERSELF SO SHE CAN TRAP A GUY WHO DIDN’T EVEN WANT HER TO BEGIN WITH (HOW ANYONE CAN TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS IS BEYOND ME)
NOTHING THAT LIZ HAS EVER DONE EQUALS TO BRIT! NOT IN ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION.
and i understand the need for people to embellish the facts, but Liz and Lucky WERE NOT married during Niz. in fact they haven’t been married since 2006. the last time they were actually MARRIED…..Lucky was having an affair with sam.
as for brit she should be grouped with the likes of Lisa niles, heather webber, Dr. O, Faith Roscoe……and the rest of the abnormally crazed women that ever appeared on GH.
I really wish the would have kept liz from this BORING, SLOPPY, WIERD LOOKING BRIK.
I am glad Britt gave Liz a piece of her mind, for whatever it is worth. Don’t get me wrong, please!. What Britt did what despicable and unforgivable. And, not just to Dante and Lilu….let’s not forget Patrick and Emma. She has cheated a little boy out of the love from his true parents and vice versa. She could have prevented so much unnecessary pain for them. Nevertheless, she depicted Liz’s motives to the letter. I do not believe that Elizabeth divulges the truth for altruistic reasons, but rather for selfish ones. I hate to admit it, but my feelings are weakening toward Britt. Does anyone else feel this way? Am I such a stupid softy? Elizabeth did her share of naughtiness, as it were, but we forgave her. Are we to weigh the sins? Who did what to whom? Whose nasty deed was more sinful?
The baby does belong to Dante and Lulu, but this is not the route Liz should have taken. I believe it gave her a certain amount of satisfaction throwing this crucial information in Britt’s face and relish the reaction.
If there is any hope for Britt and Nikolas ‘s relationship to blossom fully, then she should come clean. Is it too late? Perhaps. But, this is soapland. It will be sad to watch “what could have been” between them fizzle. I think they exude excitement and a certain amount of easy , familial comfort. They bring the best out of each other, and it seems that Britt is on the road to redemption, thanks to Nikolas’ belief in her. She is finally able to see that there is another world other than the one she knew with her sociopathic parents
Let’s hope Nikolas loves her enough to forgive her.
I hated Britt at first,but look at her parents?She had a terrible upbringing.I think she has changed for the better.I do like her with Nicholas.Now,Elizabeth!Please she has a long history of slutiness.She always plays the innocent one,and gets away with it.I hope she ends up with AJ.Leave Nicholas with Britt.
