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.

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!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
