In a hilarious video from Shenaz Treasury (Rama Patel) of One Life to Live, Shenaz goes to various One Life cast mates and asks them to their best impersonation of Rama Patel’s Indian accent! And the results? Well, for some they are less than stellar, but their attempts are admirable! And some are pretty damn close, or are they?

Now after the jump, watch the Rama contest and let us know who you think gets first place in their performance of Rama Patel’s accent?
Beyond the Gates
‘Beyond the Gates’ Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on ‘Dancing with the Stars’: ‘Pick Me’ (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know 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.
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.

Vicker Man definitely does the best Rama Patel impersonation, lol
Super cute! Josh Kelly is EXTREMELY dreamy.
its so awesome to see them having fun, and genuinely enjoying each other, as family should.
I agree, DC. These little glimpses they’re giving us of life behind the cameras is really interesting and makes me feel a little it closer to these actors as people.
Tuc did a great job. If ever there is a story line of David getting lost in India, he’s ready.
They are all having waaaaaay too much fun, but I wish Erica and Robin had a go at it too.
Rama is sooooo beautiful!
So glad the Patels are back on tha canvas. Agnes Nixon wanted Llanview to be multi-cultural. This insures the tradition continues!
Hope the show is as good and a fun as some of its publicity gimmicks…OLTL could even do better here than when it was on the network. However there are some OLTL fans who cant afford cable or internet who still only recieve just the three networks, so they wont be able to watch. Even if online viewing is the future and network television becomes a thing of the past there are many who cant afford the new way of watching these shows. When tv came in as the new way of entertainment in the 1950s and radio shows became a thing of the past, the economy and job climate was so much better than today! My parents didnt have a tv in those early years but they would go over to my mothers parents to watch until they could afford one of their own. But thats not so easy today: not everyone can go over to a realitives to watch on their laptop or computer, unless the latter is connected to a large tv screen, and some may never be able to get internet to watch online shows because even if hulu is free those people still would have to pay for internet services and simply cant afford the extra bills, especially since internet rates can also go up. Thats why i hope regular network tv which you can still recieve for free without cable, sticks around for those who simply cant afford a computer or laptop, and the internet. Im certain some however can go to the library and use their computers but time there is limited, and that would be a pain in the ass to do all the time for some, especially the elderly, the disabled, and those without transportation. We do need to keep the three networks around for these people as long as we can!
So I guess I’m the only one who finds her voice annoying, minus the accent. It’s too high pitched and she comes across as a ding bat, (Archie, Archie)!
I kinda blame the director for that…i like daytime showing an Indian American family for a change!
Some members of oltl cast are obviously close knit enough to joke abt an Indian accent w/ shenaz. But I don’t think other racial minorities would be comfortable w/ this. I’d rather not watch this video bec I think it would make me cringe. There are enough hollywood films and tv shows w/c already use this kind of humor. Would oltl cast be comfortable if they were asked to joke abt a stereotypical way a gay guy would talk? That would be highly doubtful given how it would be thought of as mocking gay people. glaad and entertainment press scream homophobia when there’s any unflattering portrayal of gay people.
There are obviously very few Asian american actors on tv shows as secondary chars. Isn’t “mindy project” w/ oltl alum the only tv show from hollywood w/ an Asian american leading char? This soap obviously needs press. But was joking abt an Indian accent really necessary given the lack of Asian american chars from majority of hollywood films and tv shows? Would hollywood alienate its lgbt audience? Of course hollywood would not. Yet lgbt only comprise 1.7% of american population according to openly gay activist gary gates. While Pew research has reported that Asian americans are 6% of american population. Pew research reported that Indian americans and Filipino americans are the wealthiest. Everyone has their opinions on political correctness. Some people think lowbrow humor of replicating an Indian accent is amusing. While others have higher standards for humor. But it isn’t good business for a relaunching soap opera to potentially alienate an entire racial minority demographic who has the buying potential of 1.1 trillion dollars. A lot of Asian american chars get whitewashed by hollywood. Many hollywood films and tv shows have cast white actors for Asian american chars. hollywood already lacks representation from Asian american chars. Joking abt Indian accents isn’t good business. I’m not going to debate abt this topic if anyone replies bec no one would debate this topic if the Indian accent was replaced w/ a gay stereotype.
Do you just push a repeat button everytime you post? If Shenaz isnt offended why should anyone else be? It wouldnt offend me or my gay relative if someone joked about them because they have a sense of humor which you obviously lack…dont watch at all if it bothers you so much! Maybe if you pulled out that asian you seem to have stuck up your donkey hole you might finally develop a sense of humor too!
I still think i prefer Rama at the bar and not Jcow…she was a money hungry schemer and couldve had many opportunities to be the next Karen Woleck with some of Shelters many wealthy gentlemen customers!
Cutter did a good Kermit. I still dont understand why Blair would hire Cutter after what he and Aubrey plotted against Blairs cousin Kelly and Joey Buchanan, or is this plotline just totally 4gotten?
very funny… Vickerman for sure!
