GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Will Ava Withhold Sonny’s Heart Medication in a Throwback to Classic Tracy and Edward Scene of 1980?
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, a timeless classic may get an updated 2025 version, when according to the latest ABC promo for the soap, Ava (Maura West) has Sonny (Maurice Benard) right where she wants him … laying on the floor writhing in pain, possibly in the throes of a heart attack and needing his heart medication which is on the ground and a few feet away from him.
Ava stands there and is hesitating to save Sonny and give him the medication. The moment immediately harkens back to the classic 1980 scene where Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) refused to help her father, Edward Quartermaine (the late David Lewis), who was having a heart attack and needed his medication. She wouldn’t give him the medication until he agreed to change his will in favor of her. However, it was later revealed that Edward was faking the heart attack to test Tracy’s loyalty. That scene, made Jane Elliot a household name, and garnered her a Daytime Emmy in 1981 in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Drama Series.
Now to present day GH! Ava needs money, and Ava wants full-custody of their daughter, Avery. What will be her bargaining chip to help Sonny? Meanwhile, Ava’s nemesis and Sonny’s daughter, Kristina (Kate Mansi), is hell-bent on taking Ava out and making her pay for the loss of her baby even though the court ruled it was an accident, Kristina can’t let it go.

In the promo, Kristina says, “Ava has to be stopped, and I have to stop her!” Meanwhile, Kristina looks to be inside a garage holding tools that could cut wires under the hood of a car. Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) voice is heard saying “What did you do? Kristina!” At that moment, viewers see what looks to be headlights at night of a car or two, and a female voice screaming.
Ava also has some words for Portia (Brook Kerr) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) that they should ban together to take down congressman Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison). Will they take her advice?

Now let us know, what do you think Ava will demand of Sonny in order to get her to save his life? What is Kristina trying to do exactly? Cut the wires to Ava’s car, but is someone she loves in the car instead? Perhaps Ava trying to get Sonny to the hospital? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Kristina is barking up the wrong tree, as is Sonny. Ava Jerome is not one to be messed with, and they’d FA’d, so they’re about to FO.
The nerve of Kristina to say that when we all clearly saw her remember exactly what happened. She’s a horrible person.
She’s an enabled trouble.
With a punchable face!!
Who’s face? Oh right.. you guys did just let Andrew Tate move there…
Where did you go? Andrew Tate? Really? Honestly, it should be we should never hit anybody but I was making a joke predicated upon the fact that I’ve said a few times before that Kristina is the female Ted Cruz of daytime, and you know what is said about him. If you don’t, look it up. And in the meantime, please work on cultivating your humor senses.
No Ava is the horrible person! EVIL and vile!
Love her or hate her, Ava is a masterpiece while Kristina is a defective RoboVac who can’t stop manically chewing on the fringe of the bathroom rug.
Lol neither is SONNY
I would never in my life be scared of the poor man’s Don Corleone/Tony Soprano. He isn’t a gangster. At all. Talks a bit talk, and shuffles the most pathetic walk.
Sonny is awesome! Ava is a puke!
Awesome? He murdered an FBI agent in cold blood and was responsible for AJ’s death as well.
As Ava mentioned in Tuesday’s episode, both of them have some answering to do when they get to the pearly gates.
FA’d and FO ? What?
F**ed around and found out.
Ava has done SOOOOO much damage to Sonny and his family!!! She needs to be gone. Let Kristina finally rid PortCharles & GH of Ava, she’s just another worthless character & EVIL person! Take out sleeze Ric with her!
NO! Sonny needs to GO!
Ava’s already tampered with Sonny’s bipolar meds and got away with it. If I didn’t know better, I might think ReRon was writing GH again, because these writers can’t seem to come up with anything original.
She’s not the one who tampered with Sonny’s medications, though; the answer to that we never got. It’s a dropped storyline. She did swap Morgan’s out with placebos, which no one ever lets her forget, unfortunately.
Val the Bastard was the first one who tampered with Sonny’s meds. He had the pharmacist reduce them to 25% of the prescribed dosage. When Ava noticed the change in Sonny’s behavior, she had the meds tested and found out the truth.
Not only did she NOT tell Sonny what was up at that point, she escalated it by blackmailing the crooked pharmacist and ordering him to change the prescription again to complete placebos, meaning that Sonny was getting NONE of his prescribed medication. And by that point Val was already on the run, so she couldn’t use him as an excuse not to come clean about it.
Instead she used an irrational unmedicated Sonny (through no fault of his own) as an excuse to attempt to steal custody of Avery from him, which is what led to the whole scene of Krissy taking the swan dive out the window into the swimming pool and losing her baby.
And nobody should forget what she did to Morgan, since that was the major cause of his alleged “death” (we all know he ain’t really dead, of course)
Morgan is dead and isn’t coming back, thankfully. That little “ghostly” appearance was more than enough proof we did not need him to come back, and be Sonny’s moral compass.
Morgan’s not dead. Believe me, I would be the first to know if he were!
Morgan may not be “dead dead” but he won’t be brought back to the living world in Port Charles unless the show gets a cancellation notice.
Hey, you never know. Poor Bryan gets his prime time gigs, like “Good Trouble” or whatever that show was about the hotel in Miami, but then they get cancelled within a year or so. Maybe he will get sick of that and want a more “stable” gig. Which GH still appears to be, despite the 666 different directions in the writing over the last year or so.
I’m pretty confident on that assessment. Michael will eventually be back (regardless of who plays him). That gives Sonny 3 adult children, one adult grandson (Gio) and an older teen grandson (Rocco). Looks like they won’t SORAS Avery as they seem to be fixated on a non-ending custody battle. Taking all into account – and for a somewhat balanced show – no more Corinthos are needed.
You have a mighty high opinion of yourself! YOU would know. Hilarious
It’s literally my job to know such things. Most former residents of Port Charles end up down here, ya know?
Not very many of them make it “upstairs”.
This is one of the few times I hope you are wrong.Didnt like the little arrogant S.O.B
I’m with you on that, Violet.
God, I hated Morgan. He can stay in the better- off-dead category inhabited by Courtney, Sabrina and Peter.
It was NOT dropped! YES we got the answer. Valentin was lowering his dose a little at a time as not to become noticable. But Ava, witch that she is!, found the pharmacist Valentin used and threatened him with Sonny if he didn’t replace them with PLACEBOS!! AVA absolutely positively tampered with Sonny’s meds in the same exact way she had Morgan’s!!!
I totally agree! I love Maura West, but no one owes Ava anything. Didn’t Sonny agree to joint custody? She can’t have a lavish penthouse – scale down her extravagant lifestyle and there ain’t a snowball chance in hell, that Alexis will fund her the money from the Cassadine estate! I think she will cozy up to Sidwell.
I’m wondering how Ava is so broke anyway. I seem to remember her having a big chunk of Jerome mob money. Maybe her crazy sister Olivia managed to steal that before she ended up down here in Hell?
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised, she’ll do anything for a buck! She’s sure paying off Ric s bill.
The writers need to reunite Liason Lucky and Elizabeth don’t sizzle they fizzle
I feel Miss Punchable Face ( Kristina) is going to get in the way of Lucky reuniting with Lizzy.
I am awaiting the reveal with Gio and his parents, Brooklyn and Dante, more than anything
I think he will resent the holy hell out of all of them. They are all having a field day about who feels the worst, including Brook Lynn. Yes she feels guilty and bad about the whole thing, but not bad enough to take Geo and Dante aside and tell them the truth before blaɓbermouth, Lulu does.
Oh agree. I really like the Lulu when she first returned… but lately.. not so much, and she seems so concerned about everyone’s business but fails to see her own doings and faults..
I see Chase and Gio forming a bond out of all this.
I agree
I must admit I haven’t enjoyed Lulu either. Haven’t really cared much for Lucky either. Elizabeth (and many of the other moms) are unfazed by the absentee fathers and welcome them back into their hearts and beds with no issue. When she mentions needing to work shifts at GH to support her 3 boys I cringe. She has 2 living baby daddies that we know of who can help pay. I know this is make believe but I would love to see some of the writers actually take some of these fathers to task. Or at least give some of the moms some snarky dialog to say to the dads. I wish Mac could have more screen time. He’s a good father and it’s always nice when that can be showcased.
They don’t know it’s Gio! Only Lois & Gloria know it’s Gio. And Martin but he found out after he wrote all the other stuff down on paper.
That 1980 scene between Tracy and Edward is a genuine CLASSIC, not just for GH but among all daytime dramas. I recall watching it as a 17-year-old and so glued to the set. I miss that kind of writing and acting, and I very much miss the pre-internet capacity for surprise in storylines.
I agree. I wasn’t there to watch it live but have seen numerous clips of it. It was so good it resembled a 1940s classic movie full of Freudian innuendos. Brilliantly written, directed and acted. Yes, as you say, a CLASSIC.
Can Kristina please be sent to Ferncliff for 10 years? I cannot tolerate her punchable face anymore. Has she ever thought about Molly’s pain? Molly had a name picked out for HER daughter and a nursery all ready to go. But Kristina insists on calling the baby Adele instead of Irene and continues to obsess about Ava rather than accept the fact that Irene would be alive and well had it not been for her surrogate’s reckless and thoughtless actions.
Kristina needs to be allowed to end Ava! Maybe run her over! Then she can spend a few weeks in therapy and tada all good. Just like Nina did after kidnapping Avery. And BTW- If Ava had kept her skanky damn hands off Kristina she wouldn’t have been pulling away, tripped, fallen and lost the baby! They should have gotten her for ASSAULT & MANSLAUGHTER. But they pressed this push shit. Ava didn’t push her but she was responsible!
Please, someone get that girl institutionalized and on some proper meds asap.
To continue the theme, still to come:
Trina & Kai spend a night in Wyndham’s dancing through the aisles.
Alexis places her ear next to a sleeping Lulu’s chest hoping to hear Sam’s liver.
Donna goes out to Sonny’s garage and meets a visitor from another planet.

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.
