General Hospital
THIS WEEK On General Hospital: Is It Curtains For The Relationship Between Sonny, Jason, and Carly?
We think, it looks as if Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) life is about to come apart at the seams, after the love of his life, Sam (Kelly Monaco) had already broke up with him, and now not being there when his mob boss and friend, Sonny (Maurice Benard) needed him the most.
In the latest promo from ABC for the action this week on General Hospital, the story picks back up from Friday’s cliffhanger where Sonny and an already dead Julian (William deVry) fall into the waters below after the bridge they were on collapses as Jason arrives on the scene to late to help Sonny.
The way the promo reveals itself it tells the viewers to “prepare yourself” and then we get an image of Carly (Laura Wright) at the door where it looks like she knows something horrible has happened and she is about to find out.
What will she do when Jason tells her what happened on the bridge? Will this be the end of their enduring friendship? Will Jason realize being a hit man is not the way he can live anymore if he loses every one he loves?
Finally, where is Sonny? Who will find him, and will anyone know Julian is dead?
Check out the promo below and then let us know what you think will happen next in the lives of Sonny, Carly and Jason via the comment section.
Well, let’s start with the obvious; Sonny won’t die. Second, I could see Carly not blaming Jason and them hugging it out. BFF’s to the bitter end. The body the police pull from the water will be ID’d as Julian’s and Sonny will wash up on shore next to a very-much-alive Morgan; both returning to their family on Christmas Eve. Let’s see if any of this comes to life.
Sounds good,we’ll see
Well they did pull a dead Julian out of the river, no Sonny, and Jason showed up at Carlys that was the end
As much as I would like to see it, I doubt Morgan’s just been hanging out in the woods for the last two years or so, since Julian’s car blew up.
Yeah he’s alive somewhere, but probably not there. Sonny returning to his family as an “Xmas miracle” is highly likely though. Morgan might have to wait until February sweeps. You can bet your soul he’ll be back in 2021 one way or another.
I’m full in for Jason and Sam to split..
They are quite the boring annoying couple.
Actually, they have long outlived their time.
Sam will hook-up with Brandon and
I’d like to see Carly and Jason get it on..
If Morgan is alive, that will be great I like him.
Sonny is alive, of course, and Julian hmm there won’t
be body so to keep the character returnable.
All-in-all, GH has come alive and is running hot.
Much better than YAWN Y&R it’s overkill of stale..
Want me to join the conversation I think you’re wrong about Jason and Sam I don’t think Carly and Jason should ever get it on no Morgan should not come back to life no Sunny will not be dead and no Julian is not coming back if you read the excerpt from the story that he said when he was leaving general hospital he will not be back well I’m pretty sure he will not be back and who is Brandon it’s Brando and no she won’t get it on with him either
No Carly and JASON HOOK UP they then friends for quite a while but am all for him and BRITT
They hook up and the Sonny comes back
Morgan and Nell will come back together.
Yes!!! That would be wonderful! Can’t wsit
Agree!
I believe that sonny won’t know anyone.he won’t remember his kids or wife.and during this time Morgan shows up and he shocks sonny back to reality.
That would be great
ABC NEWS interrupted the show at 15 minutes from the end. Again.
I’ve had enough. Another viewer lost.
The show has no control over when ABC news interrupts them so this is a ridiculous comment.
You can download the ABC app and watch the whole show
If Morgan isn’t another crime boss. He always wanted to take over Sonny’s business.
Rodd,yes I agree with you, hope it turns out that way, especially with Morgan he has been dead for too long time to bring him back now….Sonny will have memory loss for awhile
Dont like it. Dont surprise me because they broke up Jasam. They ruin Julian Alexis and Sam. .. for Jason to be with Carly !!!!
I’m through with the writers all this shiut for them..
I am with you, sam is boring without jason. Just get protection and do what Carly does geesh.
Sam seems to have lost her zeal. Dont know if a new partner will help. Maybe if Drew comes back. Jason with Carly is a VERY bad idea…Jason needs a bit of a mystery woman
love your last line… isn’t that mystery woman, Britta ? she dazzles, and has so much across the board appeal. she’s thee IT girl as far as i’m concerned… leading lady stats… as much as i’d LOVE to see STONE COLD AUSTIN, move a little bit… i’m warming to this twosome. just not the dread of Britta sharing screen time w/Carly and Sonny. they may as well try and get Sam to blink or put on a new shade of lipstick with Brando, which will go no where… and there is certainly no dwelling on the past. Sam and Jason have titanic.
Wow! Jason got from just outside of NYC to just outside of Buffalo (where Port Charles is) in a ridiculous amount of time. For us mere mortals, it’s a 6 hour drive. But for him, a 6 minute one! 🙂
Even more unlikely is that the Jersey cops from the bus station would get there just as fast, or that they would have jurisdiction at the bridge.
Wasnt that amazing!only Jason could do that.
Time is irrelevant on a soap opera.
sonny wakes up next to morgan and we find out that everything that happened after morgan fell in water was a bad dream and never happened.
I read somewhere Sonny has amnesia…maybe Morgan does too???
I want somebody anybody to explain to me the relationship of Sam and Jason??? If that is love I just don’t get it and from the way the actors have been acting since Burton came back I don’t think they do either .
The moronic OLTL regime started writing Sam & Jason out of character from the moment they took over the show in February 2012. They wasted 8 months throwing that idiot McBain (who never belonged on the show in the first place) in the middle of them, had Sam thinking her baby was dead (thanks to another stupid piece of Lameview trash) and when that was all finally resolved, Jason, Sam, and the kid had literally 24 hours together as a family before the regime killed off a major legacy character (or at least it would appear so, for the next 5 years)
Sadly between another incarnation of McVampire, the ridiculous pairing of Sam to Patrick Drake and then the confusion of Drew showing up, believing he was Jason (and all that followed) they have never fully recovered from the damage.
So in other words blame it all on Frank Valentini and his former sidekick, ReRon.
I totally agree with you. The writers destroyed JaSam,and they are destroying General Hospital!
John McBain was an amazing character on OLTL as is the actor who plays him. They did not kill off the Jason character. Steve Burton chose to leave…and when he returned it ultimately cost Billy Miller his job. He had true chemistry with Sam. Correct that the writers never really reunited Sam and Jason the way fans expected…too many hurdles and I rather have them move on. New love interests will make them more likeable characters…if the characters choose to stay around.
Sam was the only women to accept Jason flaws and all and loved him unconditionally and vice versa. Sam accepted Jason’s lifestyle since day one and wanted to raise a family with him since day one even after seeing countless kids/ppl be hurt and effected from his way of living because that’s how much she loved and trusted Jason. For some reason the writers decided to erase that history and ppl gone see what they want to see when it comes to the actors because of ppls feel like Steve came and took Billy’s job, so many wanting to believe Kelly prefers Billy over Steve which is stupid because Kelly also loved Greg Vaughn in 2008 and loved LuSam but it didn’t effect her working relationship and the chemistry she had with Steve moving forward. Hope that helps lol
I agree with every detail Bravo
We need to take over some of the writing, ridiculous sick os sam always being depressed! Let’s get a little drama, adventure and happiness in the mix!
I think this is where Mike returns to show Sonny his time has not come yet- he has more to do- Christmas future
Ok this is out of nowhere. we must bring back focus to their show. This is the best they can do folks. Who drinks the kool aid on this shit. Happy effin new year to their expletive show. But you know what, it’s nice to remark that general hospital has a lot going on in and around the slop that is just Sonny and Carly.
Hey Patrick-
Sonny and Carly are stagnated.. like watching moss growing.
There is no-one else for them to hookup with
so the will be forever, sigh..
They’re like brother and sister living together..
No spark definitely not sexy, they just are that’s it they just are.
Great!!! Now the lawyer Martin will be given good stories.
I like him and it will good to have him up front
(that is if he’ll be given good stories)
Martin being involved with Laura will be interesting.
Yes theyd make a great couple,I love the Southern accent they gave Martin.
A great couple? Uh… you know he’s her brother, right?
They’re brother and sister. Eeew
Aren’t they brother and sister
Yes step
Max’s Mom
Not step, half, same father, big difference. Cyrus is also her half brother. Can’t wait to see how this all works out.
I thought felons couldn’t carry a gun in NYS. Sam’s parole officer told her she couldn’t be with Jason because he’s a felony, but the cop at the bus station told him he could pick up his gun tomorrow? Crazy!
Does Jason even have any actual felony convictions? As far as I can remember, he confessed to a crime once, and that was only so he could go to prison to protect Michael (who should have never been there at all, but that’s a whole other discussion)
And I thought that conviction was overturned, along with Michael’s, when both were released from prison.
So I doubt Jason actually a “convicted felon” at all. Yeah, we all know what he does for a living, but that’s different from an actual legal conviction record.
This is how Jason & Carly become lovers. It has been building up to this for a long time now. Deep abiding friendships very often end up with people falling in love. And just as they realize this, Sonny will show up. It will end up very messy & complicated. Because both Jason & Carly truly love Sonny. Its the ultimate soap triangle!
Jason and Carly together make me sick no way no how. If that happens I won’t even read about the show, which is what I do now cause they have screwed this show up completly. Morgan is dead leave him there!!
It would be the ultimate triangle, and I’m hoping for that. Carly and Jason would be the best match because of their long standing friendship. Carly will never leave because of his job and Jason wouldn’t leave no matter what crazy scheme Carly pulls. All they need is to go from love to in love and voila! Sonny comes back, drama ensues… or, Sonny can be found, no memory, he is recognised, they bring him back home without his memory, he sees and notices the love between Jason and Carly and starts asking some questions because he is seeing them from the perspective of an outsider while Jason is teaching him the business again.
Well I Havnt been able to watch in years do to my job, but every time I want to catch up its the same story. How many times can Sonny, Jason ANF Julian die, what are they cats. Or maybe it’s something in the Port Charles water.
I like Sam and Jason together and I’m pissed they are breaking up… And Sonny better not be dead!!
All I know is I want willow and Michael together!!
Prayers for Mr. James Patrick Stewart & His Family
SONNY WILL BE FOUND BECAUSE CYRUS cannot run port Charles down what would be the point of drugs being the victory
This is all so riveting and well written! We know that Willuam Devry (Julian) has left the show, and is now dead. But we have no idea about Sonny! He was dead near where Julian was, and Jason has now told Carly. Wow!
The real Christmas miracle would be for Sonny to be presumed dead and never heard from again…
Is it too late for Carly and Jason to also fall into the river and meet the same fate?
I think it was really lousy after an exciting week to have Sonny not be with his family for Christmas, especially since there will be no new shows until next week. I for one, like he and Carly together. They ground each other and I do not see or want to see Carly and Jason be anything to each other than loving friends who have always been there for each other. I am sick of Jason and Sam together, actually just sick of Sam, and have been hoping for some time to see Jason and Britt ignite and burn. I am hoping for something between Brando and Sasha, I think they are good together. Morgan can stay gone. I saw nothing of his character but causing trouble for his family and betraying Kiki with his sick sex trysts with her own mother. Maybe Ava seduced him, but he sure didn’t look like he was forced in any way. The dog even went after the fake cousin played by Ava. I feel for Alexis and her plight as the misunderstood drunk. Her daughters should know she can’t be helped until she wants it and I don’t think they are helping by treating her like crap!
Sorry to take so much space and would like to wish everyone a healthy and better New Year ahead.
About a year ago, there were a couple of episodes where Jason had these surprisingly insightful, soul-searching conversations with people (I don’t remember who) after he realized that the huge and often reckless risks he and Sam routinely take with their lives now put their kids at risk of losing them, and their kids have to come first. That was when Sam was trying to convince him that she needed to use herself & her son as decoys to attract Shilo and get him away from her sister, and Jason reluctantly went along after Sam told him to chill out and trust her and her harebrained scheme (that totally backfired). How can she suddenly be taking this moral high ground about safety and their kids? It’s such an implausible turn for the character, particularly so soon after the Shilo thing. Also, this means she sold her kids’ shares in ELQ (and screwed over the company & allowed Cyrus to take over the hospital) for absolutely nothing. Sam is not a likeable character to start. This sure isn’t helping. What is the writers’ long game, since they are ruining what was left of Sam? Is Kelly Monaco on her way out too?
Sonny Corinthos is alive and being held captive by Mikkos Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, Victor Cassadine, Stavros Cassadine, Jerry Jacks, Lorenzo Alcazer, Diego Alcazer, Ric Lansing and Peter Augest they also have the real Lulu Spencer by (Julie Marie Berman), Morgan Corinthos by (Drew Garrett), Geogie Jones, Drew Cain, Emily Quartmaine by ( Natalia Livington), Kiki Jerome by (Kristen Alderson), Sabrina Santaiago, Lilly Rivera with Sonny Corinthos and her son, Karen Wexler by (Cari Shayne) with Jason Morgan and her son Dev Cerci aka Stone Cates the 2nd, Duke Lavery, Holly Suton, the real Nikolas Cassadine by (Tyler Christopher) and Nathen West.
Also with Zander.
Mikkos Cassadine will never be back, as John Collcos is long dead, and there is nobody on Earth or in Hell who could pull off a recast of that character.
And no version of the Kiki character is (or was EVER needed) nor is the extremely devoid of talent Disney Bubblegum princess ever needed in any form. Same goes for Sabrina. Other than StarrKikiTwit, she was the lamest thing ever invented by ReRon.
I don’t see Lily ever returning as she was blown to bits and shown several times as a resident of my former home, Heaven. And Helena is very much an established resident of my current home, Hell. She’s not escaping again! Neither is Stavros, but Victor’s not down here, so he’s probably in hiding somewhere. Probably in Salem, actually……
Alcazar….. sure they could bring him back, since he never really was confirmed dead. Don’t think we really need another mob villain at the moment with Cyrus the Virus chewing up the scenery, but there might be some future storyline possibilities. Not Diego though. Waste of time character. And already died at least twice.
I’m totally with you on the return of the real Lulu Spencer (and her brother Lucky too, for that matter.) And we obviously know that Morgan was never dead, but I’m not sure why you would want an ex-Michael to play him. Drew (like Morgan) was never actually proven dead, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find him in that weird WSB clinic in Switzerland. Or where ever it is that Holly is being held prisoner, probably by somebody on Whiny Heiny’s payroll.
Karen Wexler being Dev’s mother is an interesting thought…. as long as they never bring Jagger Cates back. Not even going to elaborate on that one… we all know what he turned into…… At least if Dev & Karen were related and both resurrected, it would give Scotty some relatives who aren’t Frodd! (On that subject, why the Hell don’t they bring Serena Baldwin back?)
Only problem with all of the above is that GH appears to be cutting their cast at the moment, so it’s not at all likely that all these people will be returning soon. Though they could always cut Frodd, Whiny Heiny, and Ava to make room for some of them…..
Beyond the Gates
RATINGS: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Inches Closer to ‘General Hospital’ in Total Viewers

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.

‘General Hospital’ Casts Ayla Bullington as the New Avery Jerome-Corinthos

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.’”

Photo: ABC
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.
