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!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
