GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny to Ava, “If I Didn’t Know Any Better I’d Think That You Actually Cared for Me”
So, are you down for an Ava (Maura West) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) romantic pairing on General Hospital? Well, Thursday’s March 7th episode of the ABC daytime drama series left us with it looking these once mortal enemies may actually share a passionate kiss, but will they?
Leading up to it, the two are in the hospital chapel awaiting word on Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) condition after he was shot twice. Ava is informing Sonny and showing him the footage of Jason (Steve Burton). Sonny says that footage could have been doctored. Ava says it hasn’t been and it looks like Jason is working with the shooter who is trying to take out the mobster. Ava tells Sonny, Jason must now be his enemy, but Sonny is not buying it.
Thinking about his past with Jason, Sonny tells Ava that she has to give him the benefit of the doubt. She adds that the guy trying to take him out is going by the name “Stone” and Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) nickname for Jason in the past was “Stone Cold”.

No matter what Ava says, Sonny believes Jason would never stab him in the back like that. No matter how she seemingly presents the ‘facts’ to Sonny, he is shutting her down. Sonny just cannot believe that Jason would try to kill him.
Finally, Ava accepts Sonny’s position on Jason. She explains that Sonny knows Jason better than she does, so she trusts his judgment. For that, Sonny thanks Ava as he doesn’t trust a lot of people these days. Ava asks Sonny to promise her that he’ll be careful and look both ways. Sonny says, “If I didn’t know any better I’d think you actually cared for me.” Ava says, of course she does, he’s Avery’s father.

Next, Sonny laughs at the thought of that of all people Ava may be the only person he can trust right now. As they both lock eyes, it appears they are about to share a lip-lock.
So, what do you think? Would you like to see two titans of the soaps – Maura West and Maurice Benard – become a new soap couple on GH as Ava and Sonny? What do you think of the ramifications? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Am I crazy or does it look like Ava is trying a little too hard to convince Sonny that Jason is actually out to kill him? Credit to Sonny for not believing that, but I’m still questioning Ava’s motives here.
I felt they were about to kiss at the end of Thursdays episode… I would like to see them together.
She was, but Ava is always whispering in someone’s ear. She put so many in Nina’s head; it was her idea for Nina to call the SEC on Carly and then she denied it. She’s an instigator, whether it’s on a conscious level or not.
She definitely is an instigator but why does she do that, also I agree about her trying to pursue Sonny that Jason the bad guy that wants to kill him, but why?
Can only speculate from what she’s always done. She seems to be only loyal to Avery and Trina. She supposedly really loved Nikolas, but barely blinked an eye when she thought she killed him or had much of a reaction when she found out he was alive. She and Nina are supposedly besties but she’s condescending to her many times & didn’t even attempt to state Nina’s case to Sonny; tell him how much Nina loves him or how hurt & destroyed she was by Carly keeping the truth about both of her daughters from her, keeping the truth about Wiley from her & the upcoming grandchild; her frustration that Carly didn’t pay for any of it and even that Sonny forgave Carly quickly. Instead, she went into “you can lean on me” mode with Sonny. NOW, she seems to be having somewhat of a conscience about her coming on to Sonny, but no doubt she’ll struggle with what seems like her growing feelings for Sonny even as she told Nina she’d try to help her win him back. I think Ava’s number one priority is Ava, and she can turn on a dime.
As for her putting suspicion on Jason; dunno. She doesn’t know Jason as well as Sonny does and since Ava turned on her own brother and was about to kill him, didn’t blink an eye when she thought she killed Nikolas other than worry whether she’d go to jail, she may not really understand loyalty. She may think anyone can flip. And it benefits her if she’s the only one Sonny can trust…she then quickly pivots if her suggestions don’t land well, lol.
I was trying to remember…..Did Ava and Jason help each other escape the Cassadine Compound during his last big Port Charles return? Wasn’t she there recovering from the facial plastic surgery and she helped him escape? Not that there’s any point in me trying to make logic out of any of it because you are correct about Ava turning on a dime. Also, I have to laugh at how forgiving and forgetful Sonny can be. Forgave Nina. Forgave Ava for switching Morgan’s meds which played a big part in the circumstances of his death. Wait til Carly learns Sonny may have a thing for Ava. I can see the smoke coming out of Carly’s ears now. Sonny doesn’t even know Ava kept Nina’s secret about the SEC. He’ll probably just overlook that too. lol
Wasn’t it Peter who had a hand in the clinic where Ava and “patient 6” were both housed?
Yeah, it was Heiny’s clinic (and presumably his father’s) in Russia. But apparently the Cassadines had something to do with it also, since Valentin was able to send Ava there to get her face fixed from when she set herself on fire.
It wasn’t the Cassadine compound; they were both at some Russian clinic. That’s where Ava went to get her face fixed and found Jason a captive there. She gave him a bobby pin or something (he asked her to) so he could uncuff himself and break free. They were about to kill him.
I’m not a Carly fan (understatement) so I’m in a quandary, lol. I’d love to see Carly blow a gasket over a Sonny/Ava pairing; it would give me much joy…;)…but I’d hate to see Nina hurt by a Sonny/Ava pairing. Sigh; dilemma. Torture Carly at the expense of Nina.
Yes! I’m glad someone else noticed that Ava was trying too hard to convince Sonny that Jason is back to take him down. Ava is the one that can’t be trusted and could be behind the mob killings.
Ava is not behind the mob killings. She’s not even in the mob anymore and she would never try to take Sonny out.
I don’t know if she’s behind the killings, but I do know she’s working awful hard to alienate sunny from everyone.. That Makes me question what is going on with her.
No thanks, Sonny should save his tenderloins for a new woman, one who can put up with him and his “alleged” mob life, but won’t put up with his connection with Carly or any of his exes or baby mommas, or better yet, just forget about the women and keep Sonny and Jason in a hazed bromance bubble forever.
I am all for this powerhouse couple. These two have always had amazing chemistry.
nope,just,nope
UGH!! Who wants to see these two together!
On another note I am shocked to see how badly Burton has aged. His face is all hollow and terribly wrinkled. I n pictures of him without makeup his face and neck are really red. Too much tanning? But the effevt is not that of tanning. Also, his nose has grown since last we saw him on GH.
People do age you know, he’s not the same handsome guy from the past, look at Sonny, has anyone noticed his dye job, he’s not so grey now
Yes, people do age. I fail to see why any comment past that is required.
I’m all for it, but I eventually hope it serves as a path for a Sonny and Carly reunion.
I’m also for Sonny and Carly reunion. They’re the best couple on GH
They really aren’t though. I don’t get why some want them back together. Sonny was his worse self with Carly and always seemed miserable while in her company. They are dull, redundant, unromantic and utterly joyless. There’s a reason why Mike of Nixon Falls didn’t want to know who his family is.
“Mike of Nixon Falls.” LOL!!!! I do agree “Mike” didn’t want to know, but as much as I can’t stand Carly I don’t think it was about her. Sonny was burned out; his father had recently died, he’d just killed Julian, Cyrus was out for blood, he was stressed & depressed. I think his subconscious just wanted to break away… But I agree with you about Sonny & Carly. There was zero romance as the years went by. Nada. That’s why it was so strange and yet revitalizing to see Sonny with Nina: the dancing, the flirtation. He truly seemed happier with her, until the fall….
Sonny didn’t kill Julian. He was already bleeding out from being shot by Cyrus’s goons. Sonny was actually trying to save his life, but mostly so he could testify against Cyrus. Julian died on the bridge just before it collapsed.
Reading through all these comments, I see there are many ideas on this matter. But God forbid, I really agree with Satan’s assessment of that chapel scene. I keep wondering if Ava or maybe even Julian is responsible for all the hits. The person responsible has to have brain-washed Jason and his adoration for the folks in PC must have brought him back to reality. Now he has to find a way to get the goods on the head honcho.
Having Ava and Sonny pair up again ~ while I really don’t want to see that blow up the canvas ~ would make for a really messy affair that would bleed all over the town. GH wouldn’t be able to handle it.
I don’t think Jason is brainwashed. For one thing, they explicitly said he could not be brainwashed or programmed, in the context of that “brain mapping” story the last time he returned in 2017, when they had to come up with a reason for why Drew was walking around with Jason’s memories in his head.
We also know that Jason doesn’t miss. If he wanted to kill Sonny, Sonny would be dead already, assuming he was there at the previous attempts, like he was at the recent warehouse shooting.
And Jason acted like his normal self when he was caught by Dante on the docks. He surrendered without incident, immediately went to help Dante when he was shot, and took out the Pikeman mercenary when that guy turned on him. And apparently was acting completely like himself when he went to see Carly (hasn’t aired down here yet, but that’s what I’m hearing)
So I don’t think Jason is brainwashed or controlled at all. He appears to be working “undercover” in some capacity, for reasons we don’t yet know. But my suspicion is that it has something to do with Morgan Corinthos and/or Lorenzo Alcazar. I have believed Alcazar was the real “power” behind Pikeman all along, and he might have Morgan working for him, with Morgan’s brain being wiped clean after the car bomb, much like Jason’s was after AJ smashed his head into a tree.
I also believe Jason is working undercover. There are a lot of rumors of Morgan’s return and Alcazar’s name has been brought up as well. But didn’t Jason kill Lorenzo Alcazar?
Alcazar’s alleged “death” was never actually shown. It was implied, because Jason was at his house, they had a tense conversation and the scene ended with Jason’s “cleanup crew” carrying a rolled up carpet out of the house, which oddly enough wasn’t bloody at all.
Some time later, Spinelli found electronic evidence of Alcazar’s bank accounts being accessed from somewhere in South America. And in 2012, when all of the OLTL characters were taking up way too much GH screen time, it was implied that Alcazar and Ted King’s OLTL character were actually one and the same. They were about to run off in search of him when the Prospect Park legal red tape kicked in, and they had to drop the whole story, along with the other OLTL content.
Though they have never actually said this on GH, my unholy theory is that Jason allowed Alcazar to leave Port Charles alive, on the condition that he never returned. And Jason spared his life not for Alcazar’s sake, but for the sake of his “sister” Skye Chandler Quartermaine, who was Alcazar’s wife at the time, and the mother of his child. She was in the house and listening in another room via a baby monitor to the whole scene where Alcazar supposedly “died”.
Jason probably thought Skye couldn’t live with the guilt of killing her baby’s daddy no matter how much he might have deserved it. Of course, by the time all these doubts about Alcazar’s “death” came to light, it was after Jason had been shot in the back and kicked into the harbor, so he wasn’t available for comment.
WOW!! Ava and Sonny Holy Grounds again.
I just got a flash of where Avery was conceived
I might’ve stopped watching GH all together if writers had actually written Sonny and Ava kiss in a hospital chapel during his son’s emergency surgery. Relieved they had enough sense to only write them hugging each other for now.
Well, they already had sex in a crypt, after a funeral for the guy whose death they both played a part in. So it’s a little hard to top that one.
Thank you. It sounds like you may be the only one here who understood what I meant. 🙂
No pun intended, right Satan? I mean they were literally on top of AJ’s still warm body.
I don’t think it had anything to do with sense; they were definitely about to kiss so the intent was there. They didn’t stop because of where they were or why they were there, they stopped because at this point the story will have Ava wanting more, probably reflecting on the almost-kiss, while she attempts to be a better friend to Nina instead of the disloyal one she’s been for a while now. And I don’t think the writers stopped there because of where the characters were; not everyone gets offended by these scenes.
:-)My point being perhaps the writers had enough sense to recognize that maybe it’s best if Sonny learns if Dante lives or dies first before the kiss happens. Dante was still under the knife a few rooms away or a few floors away during that scene. I realize Sonny is being written as a “lost man” right now. And I know he, being a mobster, can’t be referred to as a wonderful father. But I would bet even Maurice B. might have had some reservations if his character would have actually made out with Ava while Dante was under the knife nearby. I agree with you about the writers needing to show intent. I agree completely and I’m just glad the kiss was delayed until another time. 🙂 I was not offended.
“Made out.” Haven’t heard that expression in a long time, lol. 😉 I have to disagree though on a point about the almost-kiss: I don’t think that kiss would have been disrespectful to Dante or inappropriate because of Dante’s medical situation because it wouldn’t have been one of longing or passion. It would be out of need for human connection. As you noted, Sonny’s “lost.” He feels like everyone he loved and trusted: Carly, Michael, NINA, betrayed him and he’s experiencing one loss after another. He feels alone in his grief; his despair. Now he doesn’t know if his son is going to live or die and he feels responsible to top it off. So to me, that kiss would have less sexual/romantic and more a reaching out for solace.
OMG, they could have used the alter, that would really get your drawers in a twist. How silly you are being, it’s just a TV set, it’s not a real church.
I hope these two get together, they play off each other really good and Ava is real, not like that mean, rotten thing he’s still tied to.
I believe you misunderstood what I meant Miss Violet. 🙂 I have no problem with Sonny and Ava getting together and I’m not offended nor was I clutching my pearls. Yes, I’m quite fully aware it’s make believe, thank you. My point was I do not miss the days of the “over the top” writers. Yes, I’m also fully aware it’s a soap and there’s going to be ridiculous storylines. For myself, I consider it to be “over the top” writing if Sonny is distraught over his son so therefore he must almost make-out with Ava literally while his son is under the knife nearby? He’s not father of the year by any means, but perhaps even Sonny would wait to find out if his son lives or dies before he and Ava lock lips. lol. I was relieved the kiss didn’t happen at that moment because I would have found it to be too stupid even for a soap. I hope the writers may have felt that also and that’s what I meant about them having the sense to not let the kiss happen at that moment. Sonny and Ava can hook up all they want to after they find out what’s going to happen with Dante. What I meant was if the new writers end up not being MY cup of tea, I will no longer watch while others continue to watch whatever suits them. 🙂 Best wishes to you.
Please accept my apologies. I misunderstood your first post. It just sounded like one of the things sone people complain about when they really don’t understand .Again, I’m sorry I did not mean to offend you.
I want this to work to not work just for the entertainment of Ava and Sonny entertaining the idea of possibly making something romantically work.
Either way, it’s a good plot point and great storyline that’ll keep the canvas active

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Break Up After Realizing They Can’t Trust Each Other

Trust issues were cited as the reason for the break-up of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) on the Monday, September 14 episode of General Hospital, ending the their complicated romance once and for all.
The episode began with the pick-up of Jason and Britt’s argument over Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) at the Quartermaine boathouse. Britt is in disbelief that Jason continues to take Anna’s side, and that he will not back her up as her witness, as she wants to report Anna’s attempted murder of her to the PCPD.
Jason tells Britt that Anna had been pushed to the brink through the mental torture she’d endured while held captive at Wyndemere, and accused Britt of doing nothing to save her, when she knew exactly what was going on as she was at Wyndemere as well. Britt told Jason that she’d been a victim of Sidwell and Cullum too, and by the time she figured out what was happening to Anna, they had moved her somewhere else.

BELIEF SYSTEM BROKEN
Then, Jason clearly lets Britt know he doesn’t believe her version of what transpired. An enraged Britt fires back at Jason in disbelief, that he is siding with Anna instead of her, when he was on Mount Emerson and saw for himself how Anna was planning to kill her. Suddenly, Britt wants to know if Jason would have helped Anna cover her tracks, if Anna had killed her.
Next, Jason argued that Britt seemingly needs to believe Anna would have killed her when he knows deep down Anna would never have murdered her. Jason thinks Britt is trying to absolve herself of her own guilt and complicity in keeping Anna locked up.
Britt shouts “You need to believe that! Otherwise, you’d have to admit that your friend is unhinged and dangerous. And she would have killed someone you say you love!” Now at a complete impasse, Britt walks out on Jason realizing they don’t trust each other and calls it quits.

PICKING UP THE PIECES
Later, Jason finds Carly (Laura Wright) at the Metro Court, and while in an elevator fills her in that he doesn’t trust Britt, and that as much as he loves her, he doesn’t trust her like he does Carly. Britt is back at the hospital.
A concerned Tristan (Dean Geyer) tries to talk to her about what transpired with Anna. However, Britt clams up and walks away from any discussion.
Now in the General Hospital teaser video for the action on Tuesday, September 15, Jason ask Carly (over beers and a game of pool) “When you lie for a living, how long before you start lying to yourself? Take a look at that below.
Let us know, are you glad that Jason and Britt finally called it quits? What about the reason that the couple broke-up, over Britt knowing about Anna being locked-up at Wyndemere and Jason not willing to back Britt about Anna trying to kill her? Is Tristan the next man for Britt? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Kirsten Storms Gives Update on Apartment Break-in That Caused “Unnecessary Custody Case”

Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) is sharing more details on the December 2025 apartment break-in and the difficulties she has had with the Tennessee police, plus how the original incident, according to the actress, played into her ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH and ex-Stefan/Jake, Days) filing a restraining order against her and the custody case involving their daughter, Harper.
The popular actress had played GH’s Maxie Jones on and off since 2005, after coming to the ABC soap opera following her run as Belle Black on Days of our Lives. As GH fans know, Storms last appearance on General Hospital was back in March of this year. In recent episodes, the character of Maxie was written-out along with her entire family and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and relocated to Australia.
Now, Kirsten explained via Instagram and with shared photo of the December police report, which indicated Storms had placed a call to the Franklin Police Department to report a break-in at her Tennessee apartment. The report states that Storms was away from her apartment for about a week in August of 2025, and when she returned home, she found damage to the deadbolt on her door, as well as other missing items.

KIRSTEN STORMS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CUSTODY CASE OVER HER DAUGHTER
Then, Storms fired back at naysayers in the ongoing comments on her break-in situation, stating: “Please do not tell me (or ask me) not to post these things. I’m hoping this is the last item I post (of the documents I have on the break-in at my old apartment in Tennessee). I’m only doing this because that lead to an **unnecessary custody case** being filed against me.”
It was back in April that TMZ learned, through obtaining of court documents, that Barash cited Storms for having mental health issues so he filed a restraining order against her. Kirsten expressed in her latest post, that she was asked to meet with a mediator in the custody case for her daughter, not a judge, and that her mental health issues were being used against her instead of people focusing on the break-in.
Storms added, “However, the break-in … followed by a ‘custody case/now mediation request’ where the break-in was the main reason for the initial custody filing, was unwarranted.”
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CHECK
Kirsten also shared on her health status,”I have always been proactive about my medical care (all aspects), as well as Harper’s (<—— the MOST important person to me). I’ve also been attempting to get checkups with a neurosurgeon/neurologist for my brain aneurysm and brain cysts. And tbh, I have a psychologist that I’ve seen for years, who I’m kinda attached too. She’s f’ing incredible and understands the kind of therapy sessions I need. Addressing what should NOT be the focus (mental illness), is frustrating for me”
You can check out Kirsten’s latest post on the custody matter, and her ongoing battle over the apartment break-in while in Tennessee below.
Now let us know, glad to hear from Kirsten and hear more of her side of the custody story and her ongoing issues with this apartment break-in? Let us know via the comment section below, and if you miss seeing her on-screen on General Hospital and hope one day she will come back.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson to Star in New Holiday Movie

The Stone Cold and the Jackal brand will now expand into movies, in news today on Monday, September 14. Fans of General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) will be excited to learn that the two will be starring in and are co-writing and producing a holiday flick.
Working alongside producers, Zero Gravity Management, the production team behind the hit and critically-acclaimed Netflix series Ozark, though the title and details are bering kept under wraps, fans can look forward to an upcoming movie that is said to be a “quick-witted comedy, holiday romance, and a playful whodunit, that follows two unlikely partners as they stumble into a mystery in a charming small town at Christmas.”
Burton, Anderson, and their creative partner, Stacy Asencio-Sutphen are working on the script. According to the official Stone Cold and the Jackal Instagram account, “While financing and distribution continue to be ironed out, there’s a casting call out for the two female leads who’ll star opposite the dynamic duo. At present, the film is being considered the first entry in a franchise of annual romantic mysteries.”

STEVE BURTON AND BRADFORD ANDERSON’S JOURNEY TO THE SCREEN
In a statement, Bradford Anderson, expressed: “We have the best fans in the world, and the constant question we ask ourselves is, ‘What more can we do to entertain them?’ When we came up with this idea for a series of holiday films, we knew we had something special.”
Steve and Bradford initially developed their on-screen. and later on-stage chemistry on General Hospital when Spinelli, the computer nerd would help Jason solve crimes or infiltrate the bad guys software system on GH. From there, the two begun touring in comedy and music venues around the country and since 2018 have co-hosted That’s Awesome with Steve and Bradford on their You Tube Channel, and have continued to grow their brand.
While Steve Burton started on General Hospital as Jason Quartermaine in 1991, it wasn’t until 2006, when we first met Damian Spinelli, that the two eventually linked up as the most unlikely pairing of “crime” fighters, even though Jason worked for Sonny and the mob.
In story in 2026, Jason and Spinelli remain close friends, although recently Spinelli was written off the canvas when he received a job offer in Australia that he could not pass up. So far now, Spinelli is living down under with Maxie and the children, while Jason remains in Port Charles.
So, we ask you, who would you like to see cast as the two leading ladies opposite Steve and Bradford in their first holiday movie?Would you want to see a holiday franchise featuring Steve and Bradford that delivers a project each year? Do you remember when Spinelli first met Jason? Let us know via the comment section below.
