Here's everything to know about the character of Jordan Ashford from General Hospital

Jordan Ashford is a fictional character on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. Since her debut, the role has been portrayed by three actresses. Vinessa Antoine originally introduced the character in 2014 and played her until 2018. Later that year, Briana Nicole Henry took over the role and remained on the show until 2021.

One of the most pivotal storylines of the character includes her kidney transplant and her relationship with Curtis Ashford. Curthis is the brother of the late Tommy Ashford, who was also presumed to be the father of TJ Ashford.

After Jordan and Curtis get married, the two face several challenges in their relationship. Jordan is an independent woman who does not like to ask for help, and gets into a serious accident during a case investigation. She was hit by Drew Cain's car and brought to the hospital in a critical condition. This led to a serious moment when she was put on dialysis due to her critical condition.

However, her condition deteriorates, and she goes through a major kidney transplant with the kidney donated by her son, TJ Ashford. However, after all the fiasco, things were getting back to normal, Curtis learnt about her transplant and that she chose not to tell him about this big moment. This caused a rift in their relationship, which eventually led to their divorce.

Jordan often prioritizes her work over her relationships, which makes Curtis feel unimportant in her life. However, this attitude has landed her bigger and better opportunities. In 2023, Jordan became the Deputy Mayor to Mayor Laura Collins and resigned from her position as a commissioner at PCPD.
