Haley Pullos Returns to Court Over Car Crash and Felony Counts
Haley Pullos was back in court yesterday on August 30th, after pleading not guilty, in the ongoing case of the felony charges levied against her in a major car crash back in April of this year.
At that time, Pullos was arrested for colliding head-on into another vehicle, when she was driving the wrong way on the freeway. She also hit another car before that. Since then, the actress has been on an extended leave from her role as Molly on General Hospital. Since her DUI-incident, two other actress have filled in for her – Holiday Mia Kriegel and currently, Brooke Ann Smith.
According to the Daily Mail, during her court appearance, the judge adjourned the case until October, so attorney’s could exchange evidence ahead of her trial. Haley is charged with one felony count of DUI causing injury, one felony count of driving with a .08 BAC or higher, and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run.
Pullos, who reportedly used crutches during last month’s court appearance, appeared this time wearing a black ankle brace.
The driver of the other car in the crash was identified as 23-year-old Courtney Wilder, who sustained serious injuries and was rushed to hospital, and almost died. Reportedly, Pullos is also being sued by the victim. In the lawsuit, the victim claims, Pullos ‘dangerously and recklessly’ drove her vehicle the wrong way up the off-ramp to Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena and onto the Eastbound Freeway.
The report also alleged that Pullos hit a firefighter who was assessing her injuries and shouted,’This is a $400 f****** shirt!’, seemingly unaware of what happened to the other driver.
The Daily Mail also showed photos of Pullos in the courtroom and arriving on the scene.
So, what do you make of this most recent appearance by Haley in court? Do you think she will be found guilty during her trial? Will she ever return to GH? Share your thoughts and theories below.
Lock her up, she deserves to be in jail.
I feel very sorry for Courtney who was injured. May she get better with medical attention and rehabilitation.
I hope Miss Poulos gets the book thrown at her and never works again. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
I hope courtney and you both get better! I also wish Haley gets the help she needs! Id very much like to see her back as Molly!
courtney is usually a female name but courteny miller the driver of the car haley hit is a man
She would have done herself a favor by pleading guilty and taken her punishment. The court probably would have been more lenient with her if she admitted her “mistake”.
She definitely needs to spend some time in jail tho!!
I agree
Why is mistake in quotes? She committed a felony there is nothing funny about DUI.
I don’t understand why she is pleading not guilty either! Her lawyer must be money hungry if he/she advised her to plead this way! With all of the evidence against her I don’t know how she thinks a jury won’t find her guilty. Jensen Buchanan (ex-Sarah One Life To Live) did the same thing her DUI was also a head on crash causing injury. She pleaded guilty and got 1 year in county jail and 5 years probation which seems pretty light considering she could have killed someone. I don’t know if Haley or her lawyer think the fact she checked into rehab will help her case and that’s the reason she’s pleading not guilty??? I doubt that will work and she’d be better off pleading guilty! She’s gonna do time no matter what and now the jury will decide how much!
Very late response but from what I understand pleading not guilty at the arraignment is common unless a deal is already in place. Likely whenever a deal is reached then Haley will plead guilty or no contest if allowed.
Also with the extra details compared to Jensen’s case Haley will likely go to prison since Jensen didn’t do hit and run or have a belligerent attitude
Most likely the rehab will be used either as time served or to lessen how long she gets locked up for.
I want her back on the show as molly we all make mistakes
I agree. She has been the best Molly. I don’t like the ones that have replaced her.
I miss her on the show. Her victim deserves whatever compensation she’s owed and I hope Haley is remorseful. Only then does she deserve some grace.
We all make mistakes but DUI i find so reprehensible and it is just so obvious she could care less she injured someone. And in the age of Lyft and Uber there is just no excuse anymore for this stupid behavior.
Thank you. I get so tired of people saying she made a mistake. She made a choice, almost killed someone & showed no remorse. No excuses for this kind of behavior.
How do you know she didn’t feel no remorse. And I’m gonna day she mad a mistake. ..she made a bad decision. Don’t we all make bad choices. …bad decision. …I’m sure your not perfect
You don’t know what she feels or how she feels about the accident, her DUI and causing injury to that lady. . I don’t know why people are being so rude and mean towards Haley Pullos. Yes she made a mistake by driving drunk. And injuring that lady and that will be with her for the rest of her life on what she did.
also it wasn’t a simple dui she hit a car ..took off ended up going the wrong way on the freeway then she hit the 2nd car almost killing the driver
Ms. Pullos needs to get her sh*t together and accept responsibility for her actions, and doing some jail time could be the wake-up call she needs to begin to do that. She almost killed someone, and her only concern was that she was wearing an expensive shirt!! That’s just so tone deaf and shows that her priorities are completely screwed up. I don’t want to see her as Molly on General Hospital, I want to see her step up and make meaningful amends to all of the people who she has harmed. That is the only thing that matters.
How do you know what her only concerns were.? Was you right there beside her when she said that. You drink or have you ever been drunk or buzzed and said things that was stupid. I like her as Molly and I hope you does come back to General Hospital. And why do people have to be so judgemental
I agree people make mistakes.. I do feel bad for the other driver but people don’t have to be so mean towards Haley…Hopefully she will get the help she needs to get better..which I hope she does. Also hope one day she can play her character Molly on General Hospital again. Which I pray she comes back…
it wasn’t JUST a dui first she hit a car then took off and ended up going the wrong way on the freeway hit a 2nd car nearly killing the male driver
Really don’t like this Nicholas, he creeps me out bring back Marcus!
Don’t get me wrong. I love Haley as Molly. Can’t stand Nunu,Molly. However, I have a cousin who was recently hit on by a drunk driver. He is 15 years old and will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Drunk driving. Zero tolerance.
Totally
Let her be gone!
Let there be justice for the harm she has caused others. As for GH, I have no interest in the character of Molly.
Im glad not to be all judgey alcoholism is a disease… the show has people drinking all the time they sure treated Tyler Christopher better…
Tyler was under contract when his drinking issues arose. He did not face felony charges and did not receive physically hurt someone. Haley has never been under contract. She is charged with a felony and caused grear bodily harm. The situations are totally different.
Tyler never hurt anyone!!! How can you compare the two???
tyler never hurt anyone in a driving accident…by the way his last soap job on days he was fired because he was so drunk they had to take him out on a stretcher……..he was just lucky he never injured or killed anyone
She has a disease that needs to be address. She made a huge mistake. She has to own up to her mistake and get herself help with her problem. She is not the only one in the world to have this issue. But needs to get herself help and take whatever punishment given.. We pray for her and the victim. ❤️
She is just so very unrecognizable from “Molly” of years gone by. Just sad a story and very disappointing by her lack of comprehension of what she caused.
The other person almost died… throw the book at her. I have no pity for Hayley
Late response but this won’t go to trial unless one of 2 things happens
A) Haley rejects all plea deals for being too harsh
Or
B) The prosecutor refuses to talk a plea deal with having her dead to rights.
Also with all the details of the events leading to the crash and her despicable statement to Soap Opera Digest the only way I see Haley ever returning to GH is if she has enough people like Nancy and Maurice pushing for her to be allowed to return. That is also means that GH is still going when she gets out of jail/prison.
May not even get any roles after her incarceration ends. Jensen Buchanan hasn’t had a role since her release from jail even without the other despicable actions Haley did.

‘General Hospital’s’ Cynthia Watros Honors Former ‘Titus’ Co-Star Stacy Keach Following His Passing

In Titus, Stacy played stand up comedian Christopher Titus’ heavy-drinking, chain-smoking, five-times-divorced father who frequently pulled cruel pranks and tried to toughen his kids up. 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.
STACY KEACH’S WIFE ON HIS PASSING
Keach’s wife, Malgosia shared the news of the actor’s death publicly in a statement with PEOPLE. Malgosia expressed, that Stacy had, “a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure.”
She added, “Stacy peacefully departed this world. He fought for so long, with extraordinary courage, determination and strength. He was a true warrior, facing his illness with the same remarkable spirit and resilience that defined his life.”
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. His passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in our lives. But his extraordinary spirit, his unforgettable voice and the love he gave so generously will remain with us forever.”

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.
