GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Crashes Through a Window During Her Showdown with Ava: What Did You Think of the Fall?
It’s going to be crisis-mode tomorrow on Friday’s episode of the General Hospital, following the ending of the Thursday, August 1st episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
The scene that has everyone buzzing featured Maura West and Kate Mansi as Ava and Kristina. After being summoned to testify against her father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that she witnessed the beatdown of Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) at the hands of the mobster, Kristina is on the warpath.
Next, Kristina shows up in Ava’s room at the Metro Court Hotel, John (Adam J. Harrington) has already conveniently left and put his duffel bag behind the table. Kristina confronts Ava demanding she withdraw the subpoena. Ava says she is a mother trying to protect her daughter, and she should know something about that, given her current state.

Ava points out that if Kristina fails to testify she will be in contempt of court, and it will only bolster her case. Ava taunts Kristina about what she is hiding that has her afraid to testify. Kristina warns her to withdraw the subpoena or else. Ava says she’s looking forward to watching Kristina testify against Sonny in a court-of-law.
As the two continue to argue, photos are being taken through the window. Kristina promises she will make Ava regret making her take the stand, because when she does she’ll tell everyone what Ava did to Morgan and that she murdered Connie Falconeri. As Ava moves towards Kristina, she screams, “Don’t touch me!” Next, thing you know, Kristina takes one step back, trips over Cates’ luggage and crashes through the window landing in the Metro Court pool with several onlookers watching the terrible fall, including Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez).

Kate Mansi spoke to Soap Opera Digest on taping the showdown between Ava and Kristina, that led up to her GH alter ego crashing through the window: “I think that was really smart and it leaves it in this really sort of knotty gray area because it’s like, ‘Wait, did she push her, or did she fall? Whose fault is it?’ The blame isn’t black and white. Kristina came to Ava’s hotel room so hot, you know? Off the charts! Kristina isn’t attacking her, but if you think about it, Kristina comes into her space and is yelling at her and upset with her and making demands and there is all this heat coming from Kristina. Ava did not lure her there; Kristina went there willingly, on her own.”
So, what did you think of a pregnant Kristina crashing through the window? Will the baby survive? Will Kristina see her brother Morgan (Bryan Craig) if she heads towards the light? Will Ava be accused of trying to kill Kristina? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Since Brick captured this all on camera for Sonny, I’m thinking he’s going to be sending Ava down this way very soon. If Alexis doesn’t beat him to it.
The argument and the fall wasn’t what I was expecting and I appreciated the surprise. On a different matter, I prefer the old TJ who was a sweetie pie and the old Scotty who would goad Sonny but not goad a young pregnant girl. I would have liked to have seen TJ return the “I love you” to Alexis instead of a bland “thank you.” Yes, I realize the writers need to set up situations to anger Kristina enough to storm over to Ava’s. And they need reasons to anger TJ enough to do whatever he is about to do. I’ll just be glad when the surrogacy story is over. I miss TJ the sweetie pie.
I agree. I cannot stand “TJ The Jerk”! If I have to keep fast forwarding past alot of these people all I will see is the commercials!
I did not see that coming! I was shocked and got goose pimples… that rarely ever happens.
I was just watching the episode like I always do, watching but then on my laptop, listening to the story, but distracted… yet finally GH pulled me in…. I heard most of the conversation between Ava & Kristina… and the last few seconds I looked up at the tv, and OMFG… I didn’t expect that to happen! Kristina flew out of the window and straight into the pool! Maybe not flew, like Cody flew into the pool.
I was shocked and got goose pimples. Well done, GH, you got me to look up and react to the beat of the scene.
I didn’t see this coming at all, omg, how is Ava gonna get out of this? Now ;she’s gonna have more people wanting to kill her, why is GH setting up to get rid of one of their best Actors? It was high drama for sure, I’m just not looking forward of what it looks like the show is setting up. but I could be wrong, but theres just no way crazy Sonny is letting Ava get away with this.
They should have dumped her exaggerated acting butt years ago, she’s nothing but trouble!vV
Years from now, will people misspeak and say that Ava pushed Kristina? Is this AJ and pregnant Carly on the Q stairs redux? Decades later some viewers still insist that AJ pushed Carly – he did not.
Does the PCPD keep hazmat tape at the MC pool? Curtis’ shooting, Ned’s slip and now this. Throw in Cody’s parachuting into Britt and this set certainly gets maximum usage each year. It’s almost like Frank challenges the writers to come up with a new pool catastrophe (or two) each season.
I’ve only got one question which has been bugging the heck out of me. Why are these kids being sent into the pool with their clothes on? Can just imagine what that must feel like, yuk! Wonder why they aren’t allowed to wear Swim Suits, speaking of which, could they have gotten a more frumpy and unattractive one for Joss?
Joss’s suit was the least offensive. Why is Brook Lynn at the pool with that long sleeve frock on? Does Amanda not feel comfortable showing her arms. Opposite end of the spectrum – Lois t-shirt was definitely more Bensonhurst than Port Charles.
Don’t mind the younger kids wearing shirts in the pool.
O.k, I’m still nit picking about the kids not wearing swim suits, and I wasn’t putting down Joss’s suit, only that it wasn’t very stylish, and as for Brook Lynn, she tends to be frumpy anyway, but thanks for your input.
Yes. It’s the AJ- pushed-Carly-down- the- stairs all over again!!!
That episode was unbelievable! I was in total shock! Totally didn’t expect that.
Totally caught off guard and very shocking scene !
But after Fridays show, Ava would have been far better off with the truth rather than staging the fall in a different manner. All these lies when really, who cares if Jagger stayed over ? Trina has already seen everything. The real truth was very believable.
That’s just the way Ava’s mind works. Her first instinct? “Cover Your Ass”
Also her second and third instinct. Which is why she called Scotty immediately, then hid NuJagger’s bag and constructed a very fake looking “accident scene”.
Fortunately Dante realized right away her story was a steaming pile of dragonshit, but she’ll probably demand that Scotty make an issue of Dante being the arresting officer, since the victim is his sister.
Brick’s pictures, of course will show the real story. Which will include not only the accident itself, but things that happened before then, like a mostly naked NuJagger standing in Ava’s room.
Obviously nobody really cares who Ava hooks up with in her personal life, but when he happens to be the FBI agent obsessed with Sonny, at a time when she is trying to take Sonny’s daughter away from him, well that’s going to raise all kinds of issues. Not just with our favorite “coffee importer” but also with Jagger’s FBI bosses… who are probably already investigating him, since his ridiculous “evidence” against Carly suddenly disappeared, and his login was the last one used to access the file.
I keep reading,” since they got rid of Pikeman”,and I’m confused. With all the action, etc. did it actually turn out to be Valentin?
I think Sonny’s people are going to make it look like Ava pushed her and that due to her fall doctors will need to take baby as she goes into labor. FBI agent is in hot water as they uncover Ava’s secret regarding Sonny’s meds. She should get arrested and he should be demoted and forced to leave area.
I think Ava is going to wish she was DEAD when Sonny gets his hands on her.
Wow!! I had a feeling something would happen to Kristina, but I don’t think anyone expected to see Kristina fall out the window and into the pool. What a way to shock the audience.
I knew someone was pointing a camera at Ava, not trying to shoot her as others assumed. Those photos might make it look like Ava intentionally pushed Kristina out the window since there is no way the duffle bag can be seen from that angle. Plus there’s the people that saw her fall out the window.
I’m sure Krissy and the baby will survive, but this ordeal may give Krissy a stronger desire to keep the baby.
I am behind on watching episodes, but I noticed something today watching the episode from 7/24. In that episode, Ava had a balcony where the window Kristina broke through is now.
Continuity has never been this show’s strongpoint.
Okay, on further review, this was a different window. The balcony is on the other side of the cabinet
However, I always understood that the Metro Court pool was on the roof. So how was Ava’s hotel room above the pool?
And that sudden taller building adjacent to the pool would’ve made Cody’s parachuting into Britt nearly impossible.
Exactly what I was thinking but didn’t know how to say it. Good thing she didn’t have a shovel handy to help dig that hole she made for herself.
Kristina is going to give birth and not be able to have any more children. She is going to fight to keep her child.
The baby dies,I read somewhere.
I’m in shock & can’t believe what I jus saw!! Brick’s fotos shud show it all. Can’t believe it! I hurried to change the channel (bcuz I watch at night w/o commercials), and saw the tragic beginning! Omg, that was craaaazy!!! So I changed the channel & wondered how long it wud take Josh to save her!.
Well, this might sound callous but the whole scene has me roaring with ribald laughter. First, you have Kristina twirling like a jewelry box ballerina before she crashed through the window, second, her scream sounded like one of those Halloween sound effect recordings, third, you had Gio looking like he was watching a classmate get pantsed in gym class, and finally, you have Brooklyn wearing the most hideous dress with the boots and belt only adding to the horror. At least Ava is already wearing prison-orange. Dark comedy at its best!
Is that what’s called a comedy of errors?
Why write these dramatic medical crisis storylines and fail to follow through featuring contract players working to save Kristina and the baby. I was expecting to see Portia, Terry and Liz working to save Kristina. But all we got was a set of extra cast members working on them off screen.
I miss the old days when the hospital was used for more than just a prop.
Kristina DID go to fight with ava
and Kristina Is having Her own baby she doesn’t want to sign the papers for her sister molly How ever I do understand if the papers say never see the baby and is being forced to relinquish right than she should take Avas side Sorry but this is what I take from avas understanding PLUS Kristina has seen Sonny threaten Jason and other people’s life in the metro court both Ava ND Sonny have had characters killed and than they come back to life sometimes
GH must have been happy with how it turned out since they showed time and time again on Monday’s episode. But thats okay, it was done really well. Geo looked like he was going to poop his pants! Joss is a lifeguard. She overreacted just a bit. Yeah, she works at a ritzy hotel where nothing ever happens so it had to surprise her but she seemed a bit to bothered by it. Nothing like sex with Dex to soother her mind! My guess is the actress who plays Ava is going to take a “Genie Francis” vacation and will show up a few months later with her brother Julian to solidify Jerome unity against Sonny. They wont kill her off. But for now, she has done too many bad things to not go on the run. And by the way, Kristina is 10 times better now with Kate Mansi portraying her. And the Molly recast is superb. T.J., a bust! The actor is not right for this part. But, thats small change. The stunt was great!
Question – Where is Michael? Kristina is his sister and no Diane at her bestie’s side??
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
