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!

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.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). 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.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

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.
