## Storylines

In September 2021, Jordan Ashford gets a call that Naomi Dreyfus flew to Port Charles with a fellow passenger before she was murdered.

Curtis Ashford calls Phyllis Caulfield and discovers she friended on social media someone she used to work with at Crichton-Clark Clinic. He goes with Portia Robinson to talk to this person.

Curtis, Portia, and Jordan all end up at the same house in the Finger Lakes. They are looking for the same person. Jordan says she has probable cause when she finds a broken window and she lets Curtis and Portia in the house. It has clearly been ransacked. Curtis and Portia go outside to get cell service while Jordan goes downstairs. She finds a man’s body on a sofa. She checks his pulse and finds his wallet which says his name is Roger Barstow. Rodney attacks her from behind.

Portia finds Jordan unconscious in the basement and then they discover the door is locked and the gas pipe is leaking. Jordan confirms to Portia that Roger is dead.

Curtis runs into Rodney in the house who claims it is his house. Curtis knows what Roger looks like and doesn’t believe Rodney. They fight after the intruder runs outside. Curtis says the cops are coming then he knocks out Rodney who says Jordan is with Roger and in danger.

After Curtis rescues the women, Jordan is taken to GH and is later sent away to Albany, New York for medical treatment as her only kidney was in renal failure and she was later replaced by her enemy Victor Cassadine.

Curtis and Portia are currently trying to figure out the identity of the man who killed Roger and why he did it after the police arrested him.

On December 6, Victor Cassadine hinted that he had the search for Hayden Barnes dealt with (Naomi and Roger's deaths as well as Hayden's disappearance and have Hayden replaced by Esme Prince).

On May 5, 2023; his boss Victor Cassadine is killed in a drone strike by the WSB on the Haunted Star.
