General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Maura West Delivers Yet Another Knockout Performance … And Ava Learns She Is Dying!

118
Well I liked the fact they put little make up on her other than for the camera. I have seen so many hospital scenes where the woman is made up like she is going out on the town instead of being ill, so kudos for keeping it real. As for the character dying— I sincerely doubt it, unless they are planning of getting rid of her, and I haven’t heard that is going to happen. This twist is to keep her in Silas’s orbit– he will have to take care of her and treat her illness in secret–until he discovers… Read more »
Maura is not going anywhere and if Ava died GH would bring her back…maybe Silas is just saying that and this is a way from keeping her going back to prison?
I agree I have watched GH from day one and she is one of the very very best actors that has ever graced the screen. They need to keep her.
Well, we both might be right. She might be really sick, turns herself in and then gets off on compassionate grounds. Silas works night and day to find a cure, they fall back in love, and just when she about to breathe her last he finds the miracle cure. So with this one twist Ron’s gets Ava out of prison, alive to be reunited with Avery and paired off with Silas with tons of hankie moments to pad GH’s Emmy reel next year. Yep that sounds about right.
They would be nuts to let her go!
What if Ava has had one of those chips implanted in her head and Her X-rays show a mass in her brain? Silas mistakes this mass as a brain tumor and death is his diagnosis.
This scenario would kill two birds with one “chip”……exculpate her for murdering Connie, and the removal of the chip will cure whatever ails her.
I agree I think he is trying to delay her from doing anything stupid.. sooo he fibbed a little bit..well at least she is back in the hosp.
I hope you are all right. Why would they save Ava against ALL odds just to have her dying of some illness. If she was to be written off, it should of happened when she was shot & fell into the freezing river over the bridge railing. Then we find out that she was shot in the shoulder. It would be impossible to survive her injuries being weak & with the frigid temperatures. I agree that Silas maybe saying this to save Ava from being on the run. He also knows she is still too weak. Maura is an excellent… Read more »
I totally agree Jimh and knowing RC’s writing from both GH and OLTL I wouldn’t be at all surprised if ME and MW’s next scene begins with “You’re dying…at least that’s what we’ll SAY to get you out of jail and with your child.” In spite of what I think is another RC “fooled ya” fake death, I do have to join Mary SF and others giving Maura West props for shining in her scenes and also for being gutsy enough to play the scenes with minimal makeup if any. This is what an injured or sick person really looks… Read more »
Maura West is GH’s new must see character. She’s simply amazing and the idiots at Y&R who killed her off just show how stupid they really are. Her work on ATWT was outstanding. CBS blew it big time. She’s just another reason why GH has the best group of actors on daytime.
Mary…your reply sounds good to me…now its up to tptb!!!
@jimh….Thank you for the “Ryan”s Hope” clarifications….I knew you would be the man with the answers! I enjoyed bits and pieces of the soap in its latter years, most particularly Ryan Fenelli and Rick Hyde (the yummy Grant Show!) but never followed the show religiously enough to know its many details. It just seemed to me that Maeve was always singing that song….like on St. Paddy’s Day…I caught one of her performances then, and even though I was in school when the series ended, I seemed to recall reading that was it featured in the scene which closed the final… Read more »
If i recall correctly Sonny, Julian, Ava, Franco and Johnny were all in prison and now they are all out. I’m sure Ava will recover. She’s too good to let cancer take her out.
GH will NEVER let her go. Her baby will supply what Silias needs to save Ava. And won’t the scene where Ava awakes to find she is not dead and so much better. She will be pised at Silias for a bit but well worth it to keep Ava around. Laura Wright for years has been the high priestess of GH, and is amazing Now GH has two.The other soaps at the moment have none I would LOVE to see a real juicy plot throwing Carly and Ava together Both of these ladies are soap goddesses.
Michael, Kiki, anyone but that slime ball mobster Sonny. I detest him. He deserves to be locked up.
Well, Leslie, join the club. Sonny is weatherproof, bulletproof, jailproof, and whatever other “proof” out there.
I do not understand what all the hoopla is about this man….no charisma, in the least; to me he is an irritant. I simply cannot explain it. Maybe because he always looks like in need of a shower?
Julian is equally guilty of crimes as Sonny, but I love Julian….he does not repel me. He looks clean and smelling like a million bucks. Go figure.
Sounds like CeeCee wants to change her name to Alexis!
@Timmm….Lol, Timmm. I actually like the name Alexis. I think Julian is a hunk, but no match for my gorgeous husband….tall, dark and handsome with the most brilliant green eyes.
Lucky Alexis is getting her share. Lol. I will not say anything negative because I promised harry. I always keep my promises.
I know you’re not a Nathan fan…lol. But do you like Julian? That is, from a guy’s point of view. What say you?
Okay you guys I have been watching GH for over 45 years, and you say Sonny need to be in jail, well let me tell you they all need to be there especially the Q’s more than all they are all criminals, the jeromes, the jaxs, alexis she is a crooked lawyer, the judge who gave michael the baby he is crooked too, so they all need to go to jail, but quess what the show is no fun with these crooked people, so please let Sonny be we all love his d those sexy dimples too much.
@CeeCee I’ll answer that… on MY part William DeVry lends an energy thats titillation dangerous sex I will add… I read a SOD issue of late sometimes.. (the guys could use all the help they can get) i’m saying this… but a man with facial hair lends a masculine tough machismo and sexies the MENS that much MORE… case in point… Dr. Patrick Drake.. has mentioned he likes his character with facial… Carlos, THEE man… ROCKS… Ric Lansing LOOKS fine.. with or without… just naming a few It seems it’s understood… that the shows… require that 99% of the men… Read more »
sorry
*mysique : MYSTIQUE
*chow : SHOW
@CeeCee….Fortunately, I have made no such vow, so in your absence, I can still provide my own cheeky commentary regarding a certain character, and then you can feel free to just nod your head and voice agreement, should you feel so inclined! Aren’t “loopholes” great? LOL…. P.S. Green eyes, you say? Ooooohhhhhh….you already know how much those send me!
@Shay.
Lol. Get in line , Shay. My husband’s patients make unnecessary appointments just to see him….they complain about their aching hearts. LOL. good thing I’m not the jealous type.
Please keep reminding me the purpose for these sites. You are my inspiration, girl.
@CeeCee….Thank you for that lovely thought, but you certainly bring your own sort of special light to this website, as well! It’s always a delicious treat for me to read your thoughts on and impressions of all things Port Charles…and beyond! P.S. Hmmmm….perhaps I need to arrange a “doctor’s appointment,” even though I have no complaints….I’m the picture of health….LOL!
Thank you, Leslie! There are many of us who feel the way you do…
WOW!
OHHH MY GAWD !!!
Ava dying !
That shocker that blew my mind! (thanks RC)
GH is the epitome intriguing !
Never a dull moment!
The stories and the powerhouse actors, none better!
Mura West is true talent.. her performances are entrancing !
(she makes Ava real)
Blew your mind? You are easy to please.
Intriguing?? Try zero suspense. Dull as dishwater.
Like the Ava character is really going to die.
All this murderer has got to do is hold out for the pardons this show is passing out to all the murderers and attempted murderers like Sonny and Jake. Hell, even Anna got a pardon and a promotion. And all this happened within a few weeks!
Maura West is a true talent? Now that we can agree on.
Mr. X…Jake is not a murderer.
Mr.X…sorry…to continue…I see you made a distinction between murderer and attempted murderers. Either way, we the viewers as well as the key players in that story know that Jake didn’t spat tempt anything of his own volition…Helena implanted him with a control. If anything, he was strong enough to fight the control and actually help solve who was behind it. And now, he’s being made a pawn again by Sloane… Julian couldn’t be held (at this point) because he confessed to a crime he didn’t commit…and Sonny? Well there I agree with u..but the writers had to come up with… Read more »
Maura West is a true gem indeed. And Mary? I do agree about the make up. It’s interesting to me that Maura West looks younger and prettier with less make up.
I would question Silas’s bedside manner, however. He delivered that “You’re dying” line as if he was telling her that she had an ingrown toe nail.
Maybe that’s what’s killing her, Harry. Those things can get nasty…
But, but, Harry…..isn’t it “ageist” to suggest that a woman we know is clearly over 40 “looks younger and prettier with less make up” even though it is usually, but not always, the indisputable truth? (Joan Collins and Donna Mills are only two of the very notable exceptions to that rule…both are absolutely fantastic in their full-faced, maquillaged glory…) I’m just so disappointed that I had to point this out, yet I simply had to ask, since I don’t profess to be an expert on this subject…… ; )
Actually, Harry’s comment is the exact opposite of ageist. Someone who was would encourage a woman to wear makeup, cover up, and do anything to look younger because in his eyes the person looks old. Harry is actually acknowledging that this very attractive actress doesn’t need makeup…she looks beautiful naturally, even though, as you implied, she looks over 40…and that the makeup, not the woman, isn’t as flattering. As for looking younger without makeup, you can be in your 20s and look older with makeup; look like a teen without. I agree, Harry,,,but what I really think makes Maura more… Read more »
su0000 you have me laughing so much you are so right Maura West is the best even when she was on ATWT love then and love her now, hope she in not leaving.
Maura West never delivers anything other than a stellar performance. She is one of the greatest actresses of this genre. I have watched her for years. First as Carly on ATWT, then that awful time on Y&R, where they didn’t realize what they had in her and squandered her great talent (actually she is better off since most of the Y&R cast are mediocre at best). She is what brought me back to GH and she knocks it out of the park in every performance. So happy that she ended up on a show that appreciates talent. Hers and the… Read more »
I started to write a similar post but realized I could not have done better than you Margie. Ms. West will go down as one of the best actresses of the genre.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree..maura is phenomenal She has brought gold to PC. I love Ava good or bad. She has chemistry with every actor she has been paired with since Day 1. I sometimes watch and realize the powerhouse actors and actress on our show. We are blessed! Happy watching.
She was on Y&R and it was a bust for whatever reason. She signs on to be on GH and I wasnt thrilled. Let me tell you, was I fooled! Y&R mishandled her. She is a great actress and love the character of Ava.
Miss Margaret Hartman you are right about Maura West she one of the best thing that happen to general hospital.
Her performance was stellar perfect wonderfully raw and real love Maura can’t even explain how much..but I waiting to find out what happens I don’t think she really is dying..
Great performance, very shocked she is dying. What are the writers thinking, Michael has no business with Avery, he is a Quartermane no blood relative. He also has killed his stepmom and the thug a couple of months back. Get that judge off GH and give Sonny his daughter back.
She is second only to the late great Beverlee McKinsey
i didn’t even blanch, belch, blink, give this a second thought
Maura West is the quintisential consummate professional
Maura West is just amazing. There are very few actresses in daytime who manage to convey excellence in everything they do. I watched Maura on As The World Turns. Then I watched her tear the house down on her all too brief spin on The Young And The Restless. Finally I followed her to General Hospital and I have decided that she is a goddess. A rare gem on par with the late great Beverlee McKinsey. I can name on one hand the few actresses who can compare to Ms. McKinsey. I hope that she doesn’t leave GH because she… Read more »
I was just enraptured by Ava. This performance was by far one of her best. It’s hard to choose, since all her performances touch me to the core. But this one…the poignancy of this one tore at my heart. The fact that her face was free of any cosmetic embellishment gives new meaning to the word ” real”. I would like to think that baring her face is symbolic to baring her soul…no subterfuge, no coyness. This was Ava as never before seen. The fear of never seeing her baby again was palpable. That fact loomed over her, making her… Read more »
That is: excruciatingly so! I have no idea where 5 came from…LOL.
PS. There is no way Ava is dying. I refuse to believe it. Is Silas mistaken? No, no, no, please!
I think it could be a ploy of Silas to keep Ava from going to prison…maybe?
I’m hoping so, Jimh
So eloquently put, CeeCee, but alas, I think this death tease may be “for real.” A few months ago, I happened upon a blind item that indicated a certain “soap diva” was asking to be released from her contract and that her character be killed in the process. At the time, I was fervently hoping this was MS and Nina. (Needn’t expound upon that at the moment, but I most definitely was disappointed when it turned out she was not the actress in question….LOL.) Then, the news about KA’s imminent departure broke, and I assumed it was referring to Kiki… Read more »
Its true. Ava is dying. Dying to have Avery in her arms again! [Boo! Boo! Boo!]
Yes, Delia was fabulous! Not only was Ilene Kristen’s performance one of par excellence, but she looked beautiful, too….very pulled together, which was a huge departure from her usually fun-but-frenzied style. That shawl was utterly gorgeous….antique? I couldn’t help but think as I admired it that it would also do quite nicely to protect the (im)modesty of other, ahem, females on the show, although, of course, I don’t have anyone particular in mind…..oh heavens, no! ; )
her singing “Oh, Danny boy” tugged at the heart…. to see Ilene Kristen doing it no less
I hope your snippet of MW is way off
I was always used to seeing IK in the role of a screwball (OLTL and her crazy coiffures, and always running about out of breath). But, she deserves a feather in her cap for this magnificent performance. Loving and true words spoken to her child. A mother’s love never wavers, as DELIA has proven. Wasn’t that shawl eye-catching, though? I’m not a shawl girl. I am more of a jeans, cropped knits, pretty dresses and minis. I do agree with you though…..certain ladies should make it a habit of using one. Lol….just in case…. I wanted to ask you if… Read more »
@Patrick…Yes, the performance of “Danny Boy” was inspired, and also a salute to the character of Maeve Ryan, who I understand sang the same song on many an occasion at the bar. As a matter of fact, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t that how the show ended??? (I’ll bet “jimh” can answer this question….) As for Ms. Jerome, even though I detested her character for nearly the entire duration of her stint in Port Charles, particularly at the beginning when the show became “All Ava, all the time,” I can at least salute the performance of MW in the role.… Read more »
@CeeCee….No, Sonny was not Carly’s first love….she had plenty of action before they “hooked up.” In my opinion, that would be Jason…he will always be first and foremost in her heart, even though she ultimately came to realize that they were only destined to go the BFF route. It was her relationship with Jason that entwined her to Sonny, and if I had to choose the best description for what he means to her, I would say he’s “the lust of her life.” All roads lead back to him because they know how to push each others’ buttons and whatever… Read more »
Hey, Shay. Thanks for the little synopsis on Carly. And, I shall check her out. I am assuming that the character has always been a shallow, one dimensional virago with low morals. However, I can appreciate Laura’s representation of such a character. She plays Carly to the hilt. As you say, she owns the role. Sadly, Carly…not Laura, exasperates me. I also really study the fabrics before buying anything. I always go shopping with my sisters…..lots of fun. The right color or print accentuates one’s coloring, or kill it. Lol, Shay, I own a few jeggings…they are very comfortable, as… Read more »
Yep Shay, Maeve sang ‘Danny Boy’ on Ryans Hope finale…Like how Ryans is sort of kept alive…wish they couldve got a few former actors to show up in some scenes when they show the bar…by the way, GHs bar looks completely different than the original…guess it had been completely remodled and the entrance relocated???
I just finished watching today’s episode. My heart hurts watching and listening to Ava’s pained dialogue with Silas. All her past wrongdoing seem to fade away as she wistfully ruminates what was and what could have been……her love for her children never faltering. What a stretch from the impervious behavior displayed by Carly. That hand, possessively on Sonny’s shoulder was a slap in the face for a Michael. I am so mad…I’m seething; steam coming out of my ears. That is the worst betrayal a parent can bestow upon her/his child. How in your-face-smug behavior is that? What a woman…yuck!… Read more »
I know there were rumors going around that a “soap diva” had asked to be let out of her contract, but the way I look at it, rumors are just that. I remember rumors going around last year that Maurice Benard was unhappy and would be leaving GH when his contract ended, and all he did was re-sign a multi-year deal with the show. So I honestly don’t put much stock in anything that doesn’t come from one of the reliable sources in the soap media. I’ve loved Maura West on GH, and despite the storyline, I don’t think she’s… Read more »
@CeeCee….I do believe Helena is currently supposed to be comfortably ensconced in the eerie splendor of Cassadine Island…ne c’est pas? Of course that means absolutely nothing, as this countess of the crafty and cunning manages to extricate herself from any prison situation she chooses, no matter how secure and suitably soigne’ the circumstances. I certainly would surmise that she shall be embarking upon a mission of mercy—with more than a mere dash of malevolence—to visit her ailing little prince in Boston before long….I would expect nothing less of this resourceful matriarch. As for the superiority of shopping in person, I… Read more »
You assume correctly, CeeCee, and most succinctly nailed Carly’s character with that brief, but accurate, description! (I forgot to mention the initial circumstances of how this character originally blew into Port Charles and bedded Bobbie Boop’s hubby Tony Jones to get even with her bio-mom for abandoning her at birth. And by the way, your other favorite, Sam did the same thing with Ric when he was married to “you-know-who!” No wonder these two bad gals almost, sort of bonded on a number of occasions….they have so much in common besides just loving them mob men! ) As for your… Read more »
Oh, I get your drift, alright, Shay! Ah, Shay…Newbury Street !!!! Brings back so many memories. I know every single store on that street. My favorite haunt that !! And, what about the North End of Boston?….my in-laws still live there. Everyone in my family, including my parents attended a certain school in Massachusetts except for my eldest sister, who chose Berklee College of Music. If you ever visit the Vineyard, another avant-garde boutique to peruse is THE GREAT PUT-ON. But, my favorite will always be Alice + Olivia. I don’t much enjoy shopping on line. I’m touchy-feely. And, it’s… Read more »
I truly hope Maura’s not on her way out…but Silas isn’t the type to lie. However, they do need the conflict over baby Avery to up the angry ante between Michael and Sonny. I can’t believe that neither Carly or Sonny hasn’t had one of Oprah’s aha! moments and realized this is how they ripped Michael away from AJ …under the guise that they didn’t think his life was stable/safe enough to raise his son. I want Ava to live…I haven’t heard anything either about her leaving unless this is how they resolve the imprisonment story…there really is no loophole… Read more »
Maura West is one of the only people who can make a murderer sympathetic, and become the heroine of a story arc. I hope Silas will be able to find an “experimental” cure for Ava’s fatal condition. I would hate to lose Maura West from another soap.
I hope she gets cured because Maura WEST is a power house. I was so happy when she came to GH. Loved her on ATWT. I just don’t know how the hell she is going to get out of killing Connie?
On another note…”Avery” is the cutest! As for Silas…his personality was more dynamic…he left his soft demeanor and roared! (Maybe he’s really his brother…who either is or THINKS he’s still a vampire…and that’s what he meant. He’s drinking Ava’s blood and making her his…welllllll…it’s possible! 😉 What? Too much?
It’s a soap! Anything is possible 🙂
That would suck…lol
that’s funny Rebecca
this would be an intense time for ME’ Silas to do whatever possible to “cure” Ava
hence the bond ensues and is solidified
I too am getting his softer side
She did give an outstanding performance on Friday! I love her character and truly hope she is not leaving GH. Hopefully, whatever she’s dying from Silas will find a cure for her.
I think Kiki should get custody of baby Avery why they kill off good actor
i just love Maura West she has made Ava a strong powerful woman who doesn’t let men overpower her. keep up the good work Maura your’e one of my favorite actresses
NO WRITER IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD GET RID OF MAURA WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“NO ONE”
LOL
Maura/Ava is going nowhere, we all know that without a doubt..
RC left us with a shocker, I like that
but=
Silas will work some paper magic and make it appear that Ava is dying, Silas can do that with a stroke of a pen umm computer..
Ava is dying by Silas’s shanaginas, he will make it appear as if Ava is dying to save her.. the way I see it coming 🙂
Ava will be just fine 🙂
Ava’s scenes were outstanding today. I love Maura West. Ava is the only character I know her as. She brings it every time. But Friday was above and beyond.
Whatever Ava’s dying from, I sure hope there’s a miracle to be pulled out of someone’s (Silas) hat. She had better not die!
“…I am going to break.” It was another powerful performance ”
gavel, echo, this, TPTB, here here
“Maura West”
reigns
theres’ a limit on audience tolerance
this has to be one of those
Maura West forefront
top tiers her profession
hierarchy lists her at the top
@ jimh. I thought about that, Jimh. But, would Silas really go through such extreme measures as to hit Ava with such an horrific announcement were it not the truth? I guess if the situation warranted it, then, yes.
This could evolve into a meaningful storyline for Silas. Oh, please, soap gods, Silas needs a story that is both fulfilling and worthy of Easton.
I doubt she is dying or she’ll need something that will cause them to do a full blown blood test and it will show that Morgan is the father of Avery instead of Sonny. Then Morgan will end up getting custody fr Michael and will find out she’s alive and will
let her see Avery.
Maura is absolutely one of the best daytime actresses, ever. Now if only they could convince Michael Park to return to daytime and pair him up with her on GH, I’d be set. I’ve never seen another actor who has as much natural chemistry with Maura, than him.
RON C, YOU BETTER NOT KILL AVA OFF…. SHE IS NEEDED THERE ! KILL OFF HELENA .. ON A BETTER NOTE GENERAL HOSPITAL KEEP ON ROCKING…
Maura West knocked it out of the park on Friday’s episode. She is a treasure. I don’t pretend to know where this story is headed but am confident in saying that Frank Valentini isn’t about to let this gem of an actress slip away from his (extraordinary) cast. However, Ava’s eldest daughter Kiki needs to be sent packing. Pronto! Though I certainly wasn’t a big fan of Kristen Alderson, the actress that replaced her, Hayley Erin, is simply dreadful. Her scenes are painful to watch, none moreso than those during Ava’s memorial. Yikes! I understand the rationale behind the “get… Read more »
KA Kiki was no prize either. She was behaving like Starr 2.0. KA was dull and boring as Kiki.
Perhaps…..but at least we had grown accustomed to KA in the role, and given that her character seemed not that integral in the long-run, it would have been better to accommodate Alderson in whatever manner was needed to hold onto her long enough to give “Kiki” a proper send-off. This recast is excruciatingly bad and makes an already uninteresting and unengaging character totally insufferable. Epic fail….
Maura West is GH’s best hire. Wish the producers would winnow the cast and keep this marvelous talent forefront. Miss West knows dying. I recall Carly, her awesome ATWT creation, also faced death. Being GH, however, Ava will not die. And even if she does, they just come back to life. *sigh*
But back toe Miss West… More, please.
This development will somehow lead to her not going to jail and being reunited with Avery….just my thinking.
That would be so great, tml. But, I doubt the judicial system cares one way or another. By the same token, if Sonny was pardoned and ‘knighted’ as a hero ( so laughable), anything is possible.
I was never a fan of Maura West until she came aboard as Ava On GH. Now, I simply cannot get enough of her. Maura is easily the best actress on the show right now. I sure as heck hope she wins an Emmy for her performance this year. GH had better not get rid of her or I will NOT be happy. I know that Frank and Ron were over the moon about Michelle Stafford coming aboard, but she is just a carbon copy of her over the top and larger than life Y & R character. Not to… Read more »
Inasmuch as I love Rebecca B., you are right about that. RB cannot fill MW’s shoes or boots, lol. EVER.
This is true, PGP….very true! Me thinks the ill-received, over-emphasis of everything Nina may have something to do with a possible MW departure…up until MS showed up on the scene, the “Ava” actress seemed totally besotted with her character, and there was never a peep about her wishing to leave GH, let alone wanting her character to die. Whatever transpires, I hope the real behind-the-scenes story seeps out….should be an interesting one, to say the least.
I hate how Michael plays the “brother” card when he has denounced his biological family and adopted family (Sonny).
Avery is NOT his biological anything. What kind of kangaroo court awards custody to him is beyond me.
Lol, Chrystie. ….actually, the same kangaroo court that kept Maxie from her baby for a year.
You’re right…it makes no sense, as Michael, in essence, has no rights to Avery. However, I would rather see said baby in the Quartermaine household than with Sonny-boy and less-than-motherly-Carly. Imagine that! At least, Avery will be dodging some bullets ….we hope.
I say if Morgan or Kiki can’t have the baby then give her to ALICE!
Nobody would stop that force. 🙂
I think Michael is the perfect person to raise Avery. First…I’m loving the payback…Sonny stole Michael from AJ…he physically hurt him and threatened him til he signed away his rights. I’ve been waiting for the revenge of AJ and coming from AJ’s son, the stolen son that Sonny raised and brought up to despise AJ…again, it’s perfect. Michael can provide a safe environment, with Monica, a doctor who will dote on hetr, Alice who will also be fiercely protective, Ned, who’s great…and Michael himself who was a great brother to Morgan and Chrstina. And let’s not forget the financial security.… Read more »
Right, CeeCee….Until “Uncle (F)Luke comes a callin’!!!! I can just see this curmudgeonly crackpot with the colossal Corinthos chip on his shoulder taking off with Sonny and Ava’s little pride and joy….perhaps even to place her back in the arms of the surrogate psycho-mama Nina? Stranger things have happened! But I do concur with Chrystie Delancey that Alice would be the best protector for this infant….such a joy to see Ms. Gunderson back on the GH canvas!
I have really enjoyed Maura West on GH. If the rumors are true that she wants out of her contract then it is a huge loss for GH, She is one of the best…..okay she is the best actors on the soap, Hope she stays in Port Charles for years to cone
Do I want Maura/Ava to die or leave? No..great actress, but I’m not totally sympathetic towards her character either. She’s like a mini-Sonny, putting the screws on everyone else. And as for Sonny, spare me. For someone who is always protecting his family he refuses to look in the mirror and admit he has done a lousy job. Even now he’s willing to make Morgan an accomplice to kidnapping. Then there’s Carly, mother of the year, who is there to help raise Avery. Wow! Never see her much with her own daughter. Unlike some others, I’m not having a problem… Read more »
Was that not the most infuriating scene? There Sonny was ranting on about how it was all about “his daughter,” and Carly (CARLY!) was even pointing out to him that Michael would be wonderful to Avery, they knew that, he was their son—and Sonny was STILL willing to put Morgan in jeopardy to “protect” Avery from Michael. “Morgan knows what he’s doing.” (Ummmmm, is that the point?) “Michael is NOT going to take my daughter away from me.” Ah, now the real truth comes out: this isn’t about Avery, this is about Sonny, and if Morgan (and Avery) get caught… Read more »
Oh, yeah, Michael! You are a man after my own mind and heart. If you could only put those words into song, I would sing them from the rooftops…or join the Regatta from the Long Island Sound to Martha’s Vineyard, and sing those beautiful words all the way there.
And if you think about Sonny’s biological dad claim, look what else he did to his own sons. Avery happened because he had sex with Morgan’s “girlfriend,” after the funeral and in the crypt of AJ, bio-father of Michael who Sonny had killed, after promising not to. Geez! These are good enough reasons to trump Sonny’s biological argument…not just because she would be safer.
I got to hand it to Ron, he has figured out how to get all his A list actors out of jail. We all know Ava will get to live her “Final” months with her daughter outside of jail only to be miraculously cured and set free when the smoke clears!
See that, Timmm? I so appreciate how you briefly and succinctly say what needs to be said without a long-dragged-out explanation. That is a talent I lack.
Great post !!
Thank you.
Hi CeeCee..
We knew none would stay in prison or die but it was fun watching ‘how’ they all would be set free..
there was a whole lotta getting out going on LOL .. good stuff. tricky writing..
Timmm..
nawww.. 1ava is not sick and about to die..
RC loves trolling people into his ”gotcha” trap LOL ..
I believe she does have cancer BUT Silas will save the day!
Seems like nobody stays dead on soaps..a twin or someone identical takes over the slot..sometime gets ridiculous. Hate it when they switch actors we love ..like Jason. Just my opinion.
O.m.g!! Ava better not die,,,one of the best actress there is !!! No no no no no and hell no!!
Wonder if this is how Robin comes back on screen, or at least in story, with a miracle cure for Ava? I haven’t seen anything about Maura leaving the show, either.
Excellent actress. It’s a shame they are letting her go.
She is not leaving GH ..
Sonny should have custody of Avery
@juls.
Lol, juls. You are right…they’re all criminals. I guess there would be no show without them.
Sonny’s dimples, though? No thanks.
