Maura West Is Back On The Scene On GH's Friday Cliffhanger! Is This Mysterious Visitor Ava Jerome Or Someone Else?

Courtesy/ABC

Courtesy/ABC

2015 Daytime Emmy winner for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Maura West gave General Hospital fans a shock and a thrill on Friday’s episode of the ABC soap opera when after some time off the canvas, she re-emerged!

The set up – While Julian’s (William deVry) children, Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Lucas (Ryan Carnes),  and his niece Kiki (Hayley Erin), along with Julian’s girlfriend Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) were all at Julian’s penthouse to lend their support while he grieved the supposed “death” of his infant son with Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) the doorbell rang!  Lucas goes to answer the door just as Julian has informed his loved ones he is getting out of the mob for good.  They will no longer have to live their lives under the threat of being harmed.

But the next thing you know in walks a woman with long black hair/wig with quite the thick New Jersey-esque accent who utters the words, “I’m Parched!”  That woman happens to be West, whom when we last saw her character of Ava Jerome she was asking Silas (Michael Easton) to help her end her life since since she was dying from cancer.

But it would appear at first glance that Ava is alive and well and kicking, and about to reveal herself to her family!  And now that Morgan and Kiki are back in each others bed, it’s quite the interesting time for Kiki’s mom Ava to return, especially since she was once the gal friend to Morgan!  The flipside:  Could Ava be truly dead, and this is another Jerome relative no one knew about?  Or, is Ava just back to claim her daughter from Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and she is going to do this by masquerading as someone else?  What do you think is going to happen next?

Watch the final moments of Friday’s GH cliffhanger, and then weigh-in via the comment section below!

Well first let me just say, it’s about time! I’ve missed Maura and Ava immensely. The show, to me, lacks something when she isn’t there. It doesn’t have that pop or that zing or that refreshingly fun feeling you get when she’s around. Granted, it wasn’t fun to watch her “die” of cancer, isolated to only scenes with Silas in that dungeonhole of a room but you know what I mean. The story isn’t what I would have chosen. I mean, it’s definitely soapy but it also seems a little out there. She doesn’t look that different, just a bad… Read more »

I just started “laughing” the best laugh

only Maura West can do this…. SHE’s ON

Maura ‘s – Back –

Rose
Guest

Seems like a plan! Hope she lets Michael still be involved with Avery/AJ since he’s been so good to her, and helped keep her safe. Plus it never hurts to be on good terms with a Quartermaine. Interesting to see how Silas will come out of this. Want him back at GH. Also I think she will be able to get over Kiki and Morgan together with not much problem.

Patrick
Guest
Patrick

ie: Michael “and” Sabrina

I really am enjoying this budding romance

Chad Duell : “I’m getting it… ”

LOL I actually think their consummation is hot

dang ! if this shuts Carly up for a little while

@Rose : however it happens…. both Aves must be reuinted….

this may be the turning point of letting go Morgan for the sake of her daughters

dang! I got my eyeful of Morgan

I still say , wouldn’t it be that much heavier hotter and REEL w/Kelly MIssal ?

Rebecca1
Guest

Patrick…Kelly Missal is gorgeous and an excellent actress! But she goes to college in NY..not sure if she’d relocate.

And…I really like the Michael/Sabrina pairing. I think they could be good for each other.

As for Maura West…IF she’s still Ava…she might have a twinge of jealousy re Kiki and Morgan..or there might be a budding relationship with her and Silas…

Molly

It would make more sense if the mystery woman is not Ava, because it’s not realistic to rebound from dying of cancer that quickly. However, I hope Silas didn’t actually go through with ending Ava’s life, but instead, saves her somehow. Would love to see that play out as Silas/Ava scenes have been really terrific.

As for Silas, despite his involvement in helping a fugitive/murderer, I sure hope he is exonerated and gets much more happiness in his life. He deserves that.

Shay

Personally, I hope this is the real Ava, so that she can reclaim HER baby, Avery, and get that poor infant out of the grips of those moronic child usurpers, Mikey and Sappy. (Particularly the latter, since her M.O. is to covet other women’s offspring, then move in for the daddy figure so they can all play “happy family.” It was sickening enough the first time around with Patrick, I’m not interested in a repeat episode…..)

CeeCee

After today’s episode, Su, I am leaning towards agreeing with you. I really think it is Ava. She is just too well-versed with everyone’s personae. She really looks beautiful with that hair and make-up.
We shall see. Ava may be able to get away with the disguise, even after being arrested. I wonder how she will prove she is not Ava….

Hey, Su…. Did you catch what Franco said to liebchen (Liesl)? He said ” Donkey shine”….meaning “Danke schoen”….too funny, writers!!

CeeCee

CeeCee

@Shay.
Hi, Shay.
Well, I hope what you hope…that is, for Ava to reclaim her rightful place in Avery’s little life; being her mommy. But, how will she pull that off? She did kill Connie….then again, perhaps not. Is it possible that someone else shot Connie and Ava thinks she did? Just like Shawn’s bullet missing its mark, Hayden?
It is GH, afterall, oui?

Shay
Guest
Shay

@CeeCee….Well, it would seem the devil is in the details, eh??? Perhaps “Real Ava” will sneak into “ChezQ.,” abscond with her infant and hightail it out of the country? If this screwball “Denise” chick truly isn’t the actual item, then could she be the new full-time character for MW, whilst Ava remains “on ice” and off-canvas for the foreseeable future???? Just a conjecture…. All I do know is that it’s cruel and unusual punishment for this mother and child to have been barely together since Avery’s birth….especially given the extraordinary maternal measures required of Ms. Jerome to safely bring her… Read more »

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

So this is how it will go down…..if Ava is truly in disguise, she will willingly undergo through the process of having her blood drawn, then she will somehow tell Silas who will in turn switch the vials of blood……Or, he and Ava had this all planned out and were prepared to expect the situation to ensue exactly as it did.

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

@Shay. You know, Shay? I was actually thinking the same thing. That is, it would be great if Carlos were blamed for Connie’s murder. ….two birds with one stone, yes? Many, many posts ago, I had intimated that this poor child, Avery, albeit a fictitious character, is very much misused and abused. I truly believe the writers should keep storylines that, more or less, focus on very young children as real as possible. The same could be said of little Danny. TPTB should really hurry Jake along in ‘finding’ himself tout-de-suite, for his child’s sake. I do hope Ava absconds… Read more »

@Shay… .What if…..in his search to find a bone marrow match for Ava, Silas comes across one Denise DiMuccio? What if……Delia had identical twin girls and two different families adopted the babies? There is a chance Delia keeps in touch with Denise, but does not divulge the existence of the other to either Denise or Ava. It is also plausible that Delia knows about Ava and she is the one who brought Denise onto the scene. Denise is a match, of course…..her DNA is a match. Well, no DNA is an exact science/match even with identical twins (my husband said… Read more »

Guest

@CeeCee….It does seem after these past few days that the tide is running in favor of a twin or “doppelganger” for Ava in the form of Denise, which would play into your theory? Of course, it still could just be a brilliantly-devised scheme on the part of Ms. Jerome, Silas and perhaps even, Delia (since she is slated to suddenly appear on Friday and Monday!….) to deceive law enforcement and most of Port Charles! (Not a terribly tall task to be sure…..) It actually matters none to me, as long as it serves as a means for RealAva to reclaim… Read more »

That is the other scenario, which I mentioned above. The three of them; Silas, Ava and Delia orchestrated this entire scenario.

i also noticed her “perfect” teeth

she kinda has that Valerie Bertinelli look going on

I don’t think it’s Ava in disguise, I think she’s playing a different character like a lost sister etc.

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

I think you’re right, Leonard. She could be a long, lost relative….there are a thousand and one possibilities.
There is also a chance the treatment may have altered her mind? The wig could be from hair loss due to chemo.
If she is indeed a twin separated at birth , but later find each other (stab in the dark, here), perhaps Ava left documentation, giving her ‘twin’ guardianship of little Avery.
….Better yet, it is indeed Ava with falsified papers with a different ID. All of it accomplished with the help of Silas. Am I making any sense? LOL.

I take exception to the comment by Micheal Fairman that Ava has a New Jersey-esque accent. It’s clearly a New York accent! She did sound like Delia and Delia lives in New York. But glad she’s back.

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

Hi, Kathy,
It could also be a Massachusetts accent……later lived in Boston; so, the accent would come easily to her.
If truth be known? I can’t really tell. New York ‘accents’ are regional….as I am sure the same applies to New Jersey.
It was less than a second….hard to tell.

Dan
Guest
Dan

I live in Jersey and didn’t take offense to Michael saying that whatsoever. We all know the New York and New Jersey accent is very similar. It’s not like Michael said it in a derogatory way. I’m just glad to have the super talented Maura West back on my screen.

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

Lol, Dan. I think Kathy feels the sting of stereotyping….I, personally do not blame her. It’s usually ‘those’ who have no clue about regional accents that ridicule us. I honestly think that the JERSEY SHORE debacle, which was not a true representation of what a Jerseyite is, did not help by presenting a false image of the state and its citizens. Sewer rats are found in every state. My husband has relatives in Ridgewood, New Jersey that are very well-to-do professionals. Michael did not say it in a derogatory way, Dan….you are right. But once bitten, twice shy. I include… Read more »

Funny, you speak what I feel about Sam/Jason. Don’t see the chemistry either, so KM and BM really have to ACT well to make it believable. With Liz, Jason/Jake is so natural and the difference is obvious.

rebecca1
Guest

Re Julian…his reason makes no sense. Now that he thinks he lost his infant son he’s quitting the mob…but Lucas getting shot and almost dying, Alexis having her house blown up which might have blown her up as well…THOSE weren’t enough reasons for him to get out and stay out. And now, even though he ordered Duke’s hit and, hangs head…Duke’s dead…and Alexis is leaving him AGAIN…well, wow, golly gee…he’ll just get out for good this time. At least Sonny never makes that promise! LOL…

CeeCee

Lol, Patrick…I adore you…..love the spin you put on your writing. Well, then….You know how I feel about Sam. I agree, she cannot stand on her own. The writers ALWAYS, without fail, bracket her with other characters as supports. I am very familiar with Billy Miller’s stage presence, skillful acting and positive response from any audience, but not Kelly Monaco’s so much. Nothing spectacular or outstanding about her acting made be do a double-take, so far…..her love-scenes with both Silas and Patrick were/are as boring as oatmeal. Her boring mode of dress, combined with her less-than-bubbly personality make her a… Read more »

In a way it’s too bad what they’ve done with the Alexis character over the years. She originally was a very competent lawyer. Fun to see her work in court, and her “marriage” to Jax.. The writers seemed to dumb her down when it came to he choice in men and clients. Same with Diane. Wish they didn’t do that to otherwise strong women. Can forgive Alexis’s first encounter with Julian. She was a rebellious then, and didn’t know anything about his family. No excuse for Julian, Sonny and Jerry Jax when she “grew up.”

Good catch Chrizzxxx although Rena Sofer as Lois was more natural in her portrayal as a Brooklynite; I don’t think her accent was as affected,or say, put on as much Maura’s is. I think Maura is taking a page from Kelly Sullivan”s Connie Falconeri. or perhaps Michelle Pfeiffer in Married to the Mob . I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Manhattan and don’t have a trace of the type of accent people try to stereotypically affect when acting to represent N.Yawka s.

So glad Maura’s back. Betting/hoping it’s Ava in disguise. Looking back, we never did see who took baby Avery out of the hospital. Then we never saw much of Silas recently except small stints between GH and Ava’s bedside. The last visit was supposed to administer Ava’s dying wish. Or was it really bone marrow from Avery since Silas was very uncomfortable with the other? Did the bone marrow work? I hope this is the case and Ava’s back, better than ever. If so, watch out!

I was thinking the sameway

CeeCee
Guest
CeeCee

Hi, Rose,
As soon as the baby disappeared, and the fact that Ava was on her deathbed, I, and many others assumed Silas took the baby. That was the reason why the good doctor tested Avery’s blood. There was no way TPTB would allow Ava to die. Alors, VOILA’.

Franny Wright
Guest
Franny Wright

I believe it’s Ava……I think Silas took baby Avery (prettier name than AJ!) & ran a bone marrow treatment on Ava. During the time when the baby was taken, he said to himself, ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this’…..what else could he have meant?!!! Since her late half-sister Olivia St. John is also supposedly dead, she might pose as a long-lost cousin. However it goes, I’m glad to see Maura West back onscreen!

Alan
Guest
Alan

Identical twins?

Yes, please!

Now it just needs to be revealed that Silas obtained marrow from Avery to save Ava so we can have Maura West in a dual role. (And please let the brunette be as trashy as Ava is elegant ’cause those are the best kind of soap twins…)

I am surprised at the way they’ve drawn Alexis in this situation. There is a point of no return and killing Duke should have been it. She knew Duke; she knows Anna, Emma, Robin…people who loved him. She’s given Julian an ultimatum before. I like Alexis…a lot. But this decision goes against everything she believes in. She’s left others for less…Shawn…for one. And she actually cared for him, too. There are too many interlocking ties…Sam loves Patrick and Emma who loved Duke. If she stays close to Julian after learning he ordered the hit, then she betrays them. Alexis is… Read more »

We’re on the same page about Alexis for different reasons. Check my comment under Aria/Patrick. Don’t like what they’ve done with her character. In a parallel way they’ve done the same thing with Mac. Dumbed him down with less story time since he’s no longer commissioner…and now he’s a bartender?!? Like you said it would be more interesting and fun to pick up on his past skills. Have him team up with Anna work on a few cases independently once in a while, and even throw in Felicia for fun, since they so unceremoniously cheated her out of becoming mayor.… Read more »

Unfortunately none of that will probably happen, Rose. They apparently have no interest in developing stories for the vets; they just pop in occasionally for old times sake and to create the illusion that they’re actually still part of the story. If the fans that are really serious about getting our legacy characters back boycotted the show we’d be cutting off our nose to spite our face (never really understood that expression! lol) but you get my drift. They’d lose so many viewers the ratings would go down and we’d lose the show…so that’d defeat the purpose. But it really… Read more »

Rebecca! Guess what? The earth is flat and we are on the same page as far as Alexis is concerned. I hate what they’ve done to Alexis. She ought to be paired up with another attorney–someone smart, savvy and witty. They could could be throwbacks to Spencer and Hepburn. I am tired of Alexis turning a blind eye to Julian’s crimes as it makes her seem to be a bit of hypocrite. I remember when Alexis was first introduced to the canvas. There was a brief scene featuring Alexis reading a book. You know what that book was? Ava by… Read more »

I’ve said this before…unfortunately, lots of the women on the show are with or love murderers…Sam/Jason, Liz/Jason, Tracy/Luke, Joe Scully, Diane/Max, Olivia/Johnny, Sonny,…lol…Britt’s even warming up to dear old dad, Faison!

Rebecca, Olivia was obsessed with Duke and stalked him while tormenting Anna.
If the writers pay fidelity to history and this is Olivia, then she will not be happy with her brother for killing Duke.

Irene
Guest

I hated the actress as Ava and thought her expressions looked annoying. She is much more attractive as a brunette. BUT, I hope that it’s a new character (like we don’t have enough already) as it’s very unrealistic to portray a bone marrow transplant patients as up and about after only a few weeks. It should be treated like the AIDs information the show uses to make the public aware.

Harry
Guest
Harry

Irene, when Maura West came in snapping the gum and utilizing a poor rendition of what she thinks folks from New Jersey sound like, I just sighed. I mean, really? Is this is the best they can do?
The Jerome family lives on and keeps growing while the Quartermaines and The Scorpios continue to dwindle into the endangered species list.

Denise/Ava said she was from Queens. Her rendition is actually pretty good, Harry. Maura West is from Springfield, Mass. I am very familiar with that particular, regional accent….so, the affectation is not so far-fetched. Port Charles is rife with slithering scum, for sure. However, I must admit that the mighty Corinthos is the bane of everyone’s existence….more so than Julian, for me.

Maybe a long lost, LOW BROW cousin from the wrong side of the tracks, who can take the fall when the “COPS” come knocking at Ava’s door.

I think it will be Ava’s twin that nobody knew about and they will bring Delia back on the show to explain. or she could play the older sister Olivia that Julien supposedly killed. Maybe she wasn’t killed after all. Either way I am sure this will be great. Bringing Ava back would be too hard and I think that’s why the writers came up with this.

Well if it is Ava I will be ticked because I really wanted to see the scene when she awoke after she thought she was going to die– I’ve been waiting for weeks for them to go back to that, to see her confront Silas about lying to her and for using her baby for a donor when she forbid him to do it. Of course they could show those scenes as flashbacks, so as long I get to see those scenes I’ll be okay with this being Ava– but if it is all played off screen and we just… Read more »

I ALWAYS THOUGHT SILAS TOOK THE BABY, TO USE TO KEEP AVA ALIVE. BY USING ITS BONE MARROW. HE SEDATED AVA. AND CURED HER. NOW SHE IS ALIVE AND WELL, THANKS TO SILAS AND HER BABY. SHE HAD DECLINED TO USE THE BABY EARLIER, SO SILAS TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS. I AM GLAD SHE MADE IT.

Lol, Joyce. Are you related to Maura? Her birth name is Maura Snyder.
I agree with you. I surmised the same thing, among everyone else. The baby and Silas saved Ava’s life. This is why I am so looking forward to this storyline….if the baby saved her mother’s life, is Denise really Ava? Does one thing have anything to do with the other?

It doesn’t matter to me who she’s playing, Maura West is one of those actresses that, as the old saying goes, I would watch read the phone book. Back in the day when we still had phone books, lol. She’s the cream of the crop on the female side of the cast on GH these days. Very glad to have her back, and I look forward to seeing this story unfold.

This could be either Ava in a horrible attempt to get back with her family, or GH is repeating what they did when they lost the rights of using OLTL characters by bringing them back as new character. Unlike Sonny, I don’t think Ava got a pardon and got a hair dye job! 🙁

Love Maura West and she looks amazing as a brunette. Hope this isn’t another version of Luke/Fluke. Let her be a new character, which would be fair since Ava did murder Connie and shouldn’t be another character that gets away with horrible acts…time for that to stop. Maura can play anything and this should be a fresh and exciting new character.

I think its Ava’s twin Aron, Abby or Angel? She will get a lot of attention because people will accuse her of being Ava and then Ava will slide into PC in a wig to see her daughters and use her unknown twins arrival to her benefit. Plus, if you remember, as soon as Julian declared he is out of the mob, the knock at the door and its BRUAVA [Brunette Ava] and I’m sure she is looking for her brother because she is in trouble or wants a piece of the Jerome pie? Whatever the case, Maura will make… Read more »

Timmm, hey
RC has a great sense of humor.
He can write dark and thrilling or light and humorous..
I have a feeling while RC was envisioning this Ava story he had a few chuckles and laughs..
I think this story will be fun surrounded by darker drama and some ”didja get it, didja catch it moments….

I agree su0000, I think this is a vehicle for Maura to have fun and for now a way to re-enter the canvas and for RC to lighten the mob scene in Port Chuck!

What I absolutely cannot stand is how nonchalant the entire room was when ‘Ava” or Denise walked in. You would think Kiki, Morgan and Juluan would have a tad more of a reaction than they did. Kiki should have ran into her arms…Morhpgan, regardless of whether he’s now back in love with Kiki…should have been thrilled that the woman he once so desperately loved was alive, and Julian should have been relieved, emotional..,to think the sister he claims to have loved in the end was standing there before him. And Lucas? Lol…okay, she’s nothing to him but he knew she… Read more »

Your right about the “room’s” reaction to Denise. How about Surprise!, “Wow, you look so much like Ava,” etc., etc., etc. And even if down deep they think Ava is dead, someone like Kiki and Julian also know she is a survivor. Maybe… But she’s assumed guilty of something by everyone instead. To be fair, maybe that’s a knees-jerk reaction because some really did grieve when they thought she was dead. And Dante is just “doing his job” but being a jerk doing it.

I was wondering why the two Ava’s is not getting the bad press that the two Jack’s over at Y&R are? Hey it is suppose to be equal opportunity bitching around here. We just over at GH got thru with two Luke’s or so we thought now this. Ron here is a suggestion don’t paint a popular actress in a corner then you don’t have to use a tired old soap plot to get you out of the mess.

GH EP Frank Valentini On Taping the Sonya Eddy Tribute Episode: “It Was an Extraordinary Script, and It Was a Labor of Love That Day”

This week on General Hospital, the ABC daytime dramas series kicks off its 60th anniversary set of episodes, with what is sure to be the most emotional – the tribute episode for the late Sonya Eddy in honor of her beloved GH character, Epiphany Johnson.

GH’s executive producer spoke with Soap Opera Digest (in their latest issue on newsstands now), about how the show decided to handle the delicate subject of a real-life cast member’s passing and connect it to the story on the canvas of the soap opera.

In conjunction with GH co-head writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, the trio decided that if they weren’t ever going to be able to see Sonya as Epiphany again, that there was no way they were going to ever recast the role.  Valentini shared: “We decided it was important to honor not only Sonya, but Epiphany and we wanted to dedicate a full entire episode all about that.”

The EP went on to give praise to his writers, and the cast for their performances when taping the episode: “I think everyone was touched by what the writer’s wrote. It was an extraordinary script and it was a labor of love that day in honor of Sonya, who was so incredibly loved by everybody in the cast and  crew.

The way the death of Epiphany is structured on the airshows is key also to the upcoming Nurses’ Ball episodes set to air the following week. Frank expressed: “Epiphany is a very pivotal person in the Nurses’ Ball, so it’s almost like a part two (of her tribute).

The Sonya Eddy tribute episode airs Wednesday March 29th.

Are you looking forward to seeing how GH honors Sonya and the beloved Epiphany of GH? Comment below.
