GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Court is Now In Session; Who Will Win in the Case of Ava vs. Kristina?
Order in the court! The action for the week of November 25th on General Hospital will feature the highly-anticipated legal battle between Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), with Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) father, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) as Ava’s attorney. In the just released ABC promo for this week, Ric is taken a bit off-guard when his half-brother, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) shows up in the courtroom in support of his daughter, Kristina.
Once on the witness stand, Kristina says, “I’m ready to talk about what Ava did to me.” As viewers know, Kristina blames Ava for the death of her baby following the confrontation in Ava’s hotel room at the Metro Court Hotel, when Kristina crashed through the hotel window and landed in the pool. For months, Kristina has wanted revenge on Ava. Will she finally get it, or will she be in for a rude-awakening with the very clever, Ric Lansing, ready to take her testimony down?
In the video teaser, Ric comes at Kristina on the stand and says, “Why are you lying?” That moment stuns Kristina while Ava looks on. Elsewhere in Port Charles, Lulu (Alexa Havins) is MIA! After waking up from a coma for the last four years and trying to stay one step ahead of Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), no one can locate her. Might James (Gary James Fuller) come upon Lulu on the grounds of the Quartermaines? Meanwhile, Michael (Chad Duell) hears damning evidence against Drew (Cameron Mathison)! What will he do with the information?

Take a look at the latest GH promo below. Now weigh-in, who do you think will win the court battle, Ava, Kristina or neither? Let us know your theories via the comment section.
Ava will win. Ric will destroy Kristina on the stand. And it will be delicious.
So glad I am not the only one waiting for this!
Yet I wouldn’t want it if it was still Lexi playing the role.. I had more sympathy for her version of Kristina.
I hope so, Scott!
With all due respect, I hope Lulu’s homecoming is more exciting than Lucky’s. For weeks, we had to watch a poker game and now that he is back, we get endless scenes about him wanting to leave Port Charles. It’s time to grow up and realize you are a man with children who need you and stop trying to find the next big thrill.
I am still waiting for Jagger’s killer storyline to have some closure (or is it already finished). I’d love to know who sent Ava messages MONTHS ago and who bought Windemere. The soap is in bad need of some fun love stories. It has been sadness and grief for months. Let’s have a love story for Ava, Alexis, Anna and TRACY!!!!
Well, now that Lulu has woken up maybe Lucky can wake up. He’s as dull as dishwasher and as somnolent as Perry Como on tranquilizers. All he’s done since returning to PC is cry, throw a toddler tantrum and whine on and on about wanting to leave. He’s a selfish bastard. And I used to love JJ’s Lucky. What a disappointment his return has been.
Couldn’t agree with you more, Harry. Jonathan Jackson’s return has been a total bust so far. He looks bored and really like he’s just collecting a paycheck. It’s like they just wanted to get him back on the show to say “Look who’s back!” without bothering to take the time to write a decent story for his return. I was so happy when I heard that JJ was coming back. But it’s been nothing but a huge letdown, like a lot of the show these days, I’m sorry to say.
Interested in your take on ranking all the returning characters this year…
For me, by far the best has been Ric. He quickly reconnected with most of his contacts and was effectively integrated into story. It helps that Rick Hearst seems to be enjoying revisiting the role.
Second would be Lucas. I was skeptical of Van at first, but he was heavily played in his first few weeks on air reminding viewers the importance of this legacy character.
Somewhere in the middle are Holly, Brad and the brief return of Steven Lars.
Jason’s return was flat for the first few months but the writers finally seem to know how to use him.
Too soon to judge Lulu – but there’s hope after a few days.
By far the least effective return is Lucky. The endless poker games, unwashed appearance and constant wavering on leaving town make the character quite unlikable. He’s like Luke – without the charm.
Anyone can chime in…
Lucky’s return is dooooo boring! Yhe whining and disheveled look is so 60’s! Writers need a review of GH history! Lulu walking out after a 5 year coma???? Ridiculous!!!!
I’d rank the return of Lucas at #1. I knew Van Hansis was gonna do a great job and he hasn’t disappointed. To me, he slid into the role perfectly to where it almost seems like he’s been playing Lucas all along. They threw him into some meaty scenes right off the bat, and he’s fit right in.
I would have Emma Samms return as Holly at #2. I really enjoyed the story with Holly, Anna, and Jason thwarting Sidwell at the casino, and trying to bring Lucky home. It was kind of a throwback story to days gone by with the adventure, a little humor and camp, some good drama. The whole Sasha as Holly’s daughter twist, and then Robert and Holly skipping town the way they did after Robert just found out he had a daughter, I didn’t care for at all. But overall, I think they used Emma pretty well this time around. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Maurice Benard.
Ric’s return has been pretty good so far. Always a fan of Rick Hearst. Ric and Ava together has some potential. I just can’t believe we really haven’t seen any Sonny/Ric scenes yet.
Steve Burton’s return was very lackluster for the first few months, but they’ve used him better recently.
I can take or leave Brad. It was nice to see Scott Reeves again, but Steven Lars was barely a blip on the screen. And the story they concocted to get Heather out of town was pretty hard to believe.
I’ve also enjoyed Rena Sofer’s return as Lois, forgot to mention her. Even though they haven’t had much for Lois to do, besides being a busy body at the Quartermaines.
Hey Steve. I totally concur with your summations of the recent returns. I had high expectations for Lucky’s return and was disappointed by his dreary and depressing return. I had no expectations for Ric’s and Lucas’s return,either positively or negatively, and was delightfully surprised by both of their returns. Ric seamlessly stepped in where he left off navigating between being a dutiful father and a rightfully vengeful sibling. He’s so good. And the Lucas recast has also been seamless incorporating all the familial emotion and history into his compelling performance. It’s as if he had been playing Lucas since the character’s inception.
I can see Kristina referring to the baby as Adela on the witness stand. Under cross examination, Ric produces documentation that the baby’s name was Irene – thus questioning Kristina’s ability to determine the truth.
Also,, any of her family can attest to the fact that it was her Grandmother’s name and that’s why she uses that name, rather than Irene, the baby’s father’s grandmother’s name, whom no one even knew
Steve and Violet, I predict Kristina will indeed call Irene” Adele” which will turn Molly into a hostile witness for the prosecution. She just can’t help herself.
That’s not the point Violet. The surrogate doesn’t get to name the baby. By calling her Adela, Kristina will have to reveal in court that she was planning to keep the baby which will turn the jury against her.
Not to mention Adele is Molly’s grandmother
Who is the actress representing the prosecution on today’s episode
Who is the actress playing the prosecutor on today’s episode?
I think it is Nazneen Contractor but cannot find anywhere posting who the actress is. Side note Nazneen’s real life husband is Carlo Rita (Sidwell in GH.)
Correction. The actor playing Sidwell who is married to Nazneen Contractor is Carlo Rota (auto correct very frustrating). However I still cannot find any confirmation who is playing the prosecutor in the Ava vs Kristina trial; but my gut is certain she is Nazneen Contractor.
I imagine Ava will win, God Forbid they put her-hignass in jail. We know she didn’t push Krissy but she’s sure done enough other things, including messing with Sonny’s meds and why hasn’t he done anything about that?
Looks like Cody helps Lulu, how interesting is that?
I already love Lulu and the fact that she has the guts to do whatever it takes to get away from Cyrus , bodes well with me. She’s still the smart cookie, she’s always been and not just laying in that bed, waiting for God knows what but where the hell is Laura?
Kristina is lying. She’s an insufferable little twit who should never have gone to Ava’s room to begin with. On another note, why is creepy Uncle Cyrus at Lulu’s bedside 24/7 while Laura seems to have vanished? I suspect Cody is going to be the one who picks Lulu up.
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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’
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.
