GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava is in the Hot Seat For Kristina’s Fall, and Sonny Wants to Make Her “Pay”
Just when you think there were not enough people angry enough at General Hospital’s Ava Jerome, think again. In the latest ABC promo for the week of August 5-9 on GH, Kristina and her unborn baby are in dire straits due to the fall she took out of a Metro Court Hotel room window during an argument with Ava.
Now, everyone is Kristina’s family is ready to put the blame on Ava, and especially Sonny, who vows to make Ava pay.
In the preview, Ava is in the interrogation room at the PCPD where Chase is wanting her account of the moments that led up to Kristina’s fall. He says, “Start from the beginning. …Tell me everything you remember.” How will Ava spin the story of what went down between her and Kristina? Will the fact that their were photos being shot from another location into Ava’s window be evidence that will hurt her case?

Meanwhile, at General Hospital, a concerned Molly asks TJ, if Kristina and the baby are going to be alright. From his demeanor, it seems like he is about to deliver bad news. In another key moment, Alexis is at the hospital saying that Kristina was in Ava’s suite, and she doeesn’t know why, but that is overheard by Sonny and Molly, and Molly says, “I know why.”
Later, Ava insists to Scott that Kristina’s fall was “an accident.” Trina visits Ava behind bars and asks her, “Was it …(an accident)? Then, it appears that Kristina’s family will learn of her fate and the fate of the baby.
So, is the beginning of the end of Ava Jerome? Will Kristina survive, but the baby not make it? Share your theories on how things will play out this week on Genera Hospital via the comment section, but first take a look at the promo.
Ava seems to be the punching bag in town again (giving Nina a well deserved rest). Not sure how she gets out of this one.
It’s quite annoying how they’re glossing over Natalia’s wrong doing to blame the whistleblower (similar to Nina getting blamed for turning in a guilty Drew & Carly).
As much as I like Eva LaRue, it’s time for both Natalia and Blaze to depart Port Charles.
Hey, O G, guess what?I agree with you!
.
“Ava seems to be the punching bag in town again. Not sure how she gets out of this one.”
Easy. She doesn’t. About time too. AJ, Morgan, and now Kristina’s baby. The Ava Jerome body count has been piling up for too long.
I do agree with you, OG—What’s up with that?? Turning on Ava—round and round we go. Yet, Carly and Drew roam free!!
I must say, though—how amazing is Maura? Her facial expressions are priceless.
Sonny? I hope he jumps. I’m so nasty!! Oh well—-LOL
Celia, well guess what, I’m even nastier then, because I hope Ava rots in jail and I feel that her facial expressions are disgusting, especially when she opens her mouth!
I don’t know if you were a OLTL viewer, Steve, but way back in 2003, they actually portrayed homophobes as villains, not victims. Now here it is, 2024 and Natalia is being portrayed as a victim. I mean, the character is a smart and independent woman in her 50s, and had ample time to grow and evolve from her strict Catholic upbringing. And this isn’t just a case of viewers being overly sensitive to undercurrents that the writing is suggesting that Natalia is a victim, Kristina straight out said in that disastrous interview with Perez Hilton ( guilty himself of outting closeted celebrities) that “the real victim here is Natalia.” And yet, Ava, who balked when Natalia started spouting off her bigotry is more guilty than Natalia.
Hi Harry
Other than the ridiculous plot of Dorian pretending to be lesbian in order to gain votes, OLTL led the way in portrayal of LGBT characters and storylines.
Having enjoyed “sexual orientation rights” since 1987 in my province ( In Canada) the sudden rise of anti-rights is just so disappointing. Always believed unless you are “interested” in a person, what does their orientation matter?
OLTL Billy Douglas was indeed groundbreaking and told with great real emotion.
I agree with you O G Steve – These writers are gut punching certain characters , relentlessly. The police dept. is working with the mob to help them knock out the people. Anna and Jason , working together to take out the F.B.I. . It annoys me too how Natalia , Sonny , Caryl – I may as well say the whole group are getting by with too much while others are arrested before all of the evidence is presented. I agree about Nina , too . My friend , Mildred and I totally agree with what you said and more!
A horrible turn of events.
ava need to pay for what she did im not saying that she pushed christina but its time she get what she deserves for all the bad things she did in the past
She didn’t push Kristina ; plus , if Kristina is a truthful person , she will say that Ava didn’t.
Why is Ava stupidly talking to the GCPD without her lawyer?
You just answered your own question!
I said the same thing , Mike. However , it seems that unless Diane Miller is your lawyer , a person doesn’t stand a chance.
Kristen Vaganos for the win! Molly reading Sonny the riot act was everything I didn’t know I needed on this show. It creates a new rivalry which will be amplified when Ric returns in a few weeks.
Sonny really had nothing to do with the situation Ava created. And even the part that Sonny did do – like beating the unholy shit out of Dex, where Krissy saw the whole thing, was because his meds have been off for months. Which now is mostly Ava’s fault, since she knew about it, but did nothing, and eventually lowered the dosage from 25% to 0. And of course it would be Molly’s Uncle Val who did that. So she’s barking up the wrong family tree, really.
It’s not Ava’s fault about Sonny’s meds! That’s what Satan does – blames someone else!
How in Hell’s name is it not her fault? Yes, it was Val the Bastard who initially tampered with the meds, but Ava found out about that months ago, and not only didn’t tell Sonny about it, she used the situation to further manipulate him.
And while Val had his meds reduced to 25%, which was bad enough, Ava had them reduced to pure placebos which made him worse. So yes, this has been Ava’s fault since the minute she had the drugs tested and didn’t do the responsible thing with that information.
Maybe she isn’t the one that started screwing up his meds, we know now it was Valentin, but the minute Ava found out what was going on, she threatened the Pharmacist to give him Placebos, that means nothing, nada, fake, do you understand that? Do you even watch the show, if you did, you wouldn’t say something so stupid. Don’t blame Satan, he’s just telling it like it is, and I suppose you think he’s real too, omg, lmoao!
Satan real? Well I have always been taught “if you believe in heaven above, then hell is definitely below”. Can’t have one without the other.
So many characters have pointed out Ava is a snake who tampered with Morgan’s meds. Yet none of them have even wondered if she may have done the same to Sonny’s meds. I’ll be glad when the truth finally comes out. But I’m sure she’ll still get out of it somehow. I know Valentin set it in motion but Ava worsened it. They both need to face the consequences.
So does Sonny and his crowd!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
