General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Ava Is About to Get Down and Dirty …. Sonny Beware!
This week on General Hospital, look for Ava Jerome (Maura West) to fight back and down and dirty, after Sonny (Maurice Benard) kicked her out of the penthouse and threatened to take full custody of their daughter, Avery. In story, Ava already knows Sonny is not taking the full dosage of his meds. Will she tamper with the pills to make Sonny go off the rails and look completely incompetent to raise a chills.
In the latest official teasers for the show, by week’s end, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) is trying to talk Sonny down. Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali) has voiced to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) that after her last interaction with Ava, the gallery owner seemed very intense. Trina was fearful that Ava might try to do something to Sonny in retribution for being shown the front door.
Also, Kristina (Kate Mansi) is wanting to build in protections from the court, from any split in TJ (Tajh Bellow) and Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) relationship, so that she might be able to keep the child, which is causing alarm from Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez). Meanwhile, Blaze is left reeling by recent developments.

So, what do you think Ava will do to Sonny and how will she cover her tracks? Share your theories via the comment section below, and what do you think about Kristina’s growing attachment to the baby she is carrying for TJ and her sister Molly? Weigh-in, but first check out this week’s ABC promo for GH, where Port Charles is “rocked by scandal”.
Ava is starting to act a lot like her sister. Which is ironic, since they barely know each other.
Don’t understand your comment. Starting to act like whose sister?
Ava Jerome is acting a lot like Olivia Jerome. They have the same father, but didn’t grow up together at all. (Ava was never mentioned during the original run of the Jeromes in the late 80s/early 90s)
Thanks for info, the old mind completely forgot about Olivia.
Ava does love her martini’s doesn’t she? I don’t like this. It makes me nervous that Maura West is leaving. It’s like Ava is on scorched earth and taking everyone down with her. If she does leave I don’t know if it was her choice or the shows. Either way it sucks. I hope I’m wrong.
I wish Ava would have reminded Sonny he shot and killed A.J. when he blurted out that she killed Connie.
Would be interesting for them both be responsible for each other’s convictions and both serve time for their crimes. Both A.J. and Connie would then have justice.
Sonny already served time for AJ’s murder. He received a pardon by saving the governor’s daughter.
Bringing up AJ’s murder wouldn’t help Ava, because she’s partly to blame. AJ died (the final time) after confronting Ava for killing Connie. Sonny walked in on AJ accosting her and got the wrong impression.
Stupid Connie in her dying moments wrote “AJ” in her own blood on the floor in Crimson. Guess she didn’t think she’d have enough time to write “AVA” which is only one more letter than Miss Jerome’s initials.
Ava wouldn’t want to remind Sonny about AJ’s death, since she was about 98% responsible for that. Yes, Sonny was holding the gun when the bullet left the chamber. But it was Ava’s gun, the trigger had already been pulled, and Sonny walked in on a scene that certainly appeared to be AJ strangling Ava.
There’s also the fact that AJ did not die from that bullet, but actually of a “cardiac arrest” a week later in the hospital. Shortly before that cardiac arrest Ava was seen talking to herself in the room with a sleeping AJ, convincing herself that he really had to die before he remembered that she had confessed to ConKate’s murder. In all probability, Ava probably tampered with AJ’s IV drip, injecting either an untraceable drug (mobsters always know where to get that stuff on a moment’s notice) or even a simple air bubble. Either one would result in something that looked like a heart attack.
Weirdest thing about AJ’s death is that his mother, a cardiac surgeon and chief of staff of the hospital at the time, did not demand an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. Though the reality is the whole thing was really ReRon Carlivati’s personal beef with Sean Kanan coming to a conclusion. One of them had to go. Probably the wrong one went, given the further horrible storylines that followed (can we say “Fluke”, anyone??)
As much as I was disappointed that Ron’s pettiness led to AJ’s final departure, the eventual reveal was really well done. So well that it got Chad Duell an Emmy. If only angry Michael stayed around.
It’s nice to see Ava fighting dirty with Sonny, but that doesn’t mean Maura West is leaving. Soaps are meant to have drama.
yes, I love your comment better, I agree love Ava fighting dirty, and it doesnt’ have to mean her days are over, why can’t she just be the delicious villain and cause havoc and not have to have her days number ? Lets enjoy Maura West play baddy femme fatale and not start counting whose gonna Off her instead. Sonny gets to be nasty and bad and I don’t see anyone besides some Pikeman hitman( who always miss) trying to get a shot at him.
I think a lot of this is because of the child, Avery, which I’ved noticed has been in a lot more scenes lately. If anything happens to the kid while Sonny has her, it will be Ava’s fault, because, she will have been responsible for Sonny being underdosed, thanks to Valentin.
I really hope Valentin is brought to justice soon so the Pikeman story can be over. And I hope Sonny learns the truth about his meds soon. Maybe it will all come to light around the time Kristina is going into labor.
Well, we know something big will happen and as Dante tried to tell his dad, it will turn out to be his fault. It’s all got to do with his being underdosed and until someone figures it out, it will just get worse!

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.
