“General Hospital” (GH) spoilers have teased us for more than a year that Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) may yet be the biological father of Avery Corinthos. And with Morgan spiraling out of control, events may drive this reveal to save his life.
The DNA test on Avery did NOT say that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) was Avery’s father. What the DNA test said is that the baby is NOT related to Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). First off, that’s a crazy way to test for paternity.
But, let’s think this through. Who ran the DNA test? Silas Clay (Michael Easton). Silas will do anything to protect Ava Jerome (Maura West). Silas kidnapped Avery to take her bone marrow to save Ava’s life. Switching around DNA test results to save her life is nothing compared to that.
And in fact, it is much more likely that Morgan sired Avery since he and Ava were at it like bunnies 24/7 and Sonny only had crypt sex with Ava once. But Sonny being the bio-dad saves Ava’s life – so it’s very likely that Silas faked the test.
Ava may know that Morgan is the biological father – and may have known it all along but kept her mouth shut so Sonny wouldn’t kill her. But if it came down to it, if there was a good enough reason, Ava would reveal it.
Morgan is about to go into a deep bipolar spiral now that he’s off his meds. He’s going to shoot someone soon and it will be down Pentonville vs Shadybrook for this troubled young man. Once he’s locked up at one or the other, Morgan will go off the rails and may even be suicidal.
Let’s not forget, Ava loves Morgan. She has loved him for a while now and the only reason she’s not with him is because she also loves Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin). But if Morgan was suicidal and Ava thought knowing about Avery would give him the will to live, she’d blab.
While it’s not clear how or why Avery’s true paternity is revealed, GH spoilers indicate it will come out soon. And Ava may not be the only one who knows the truth about the baby – Carly may also know. Carly would definitely lie about the paternity to protect Morgan from Ava.
Carly doesn’t care if Sonny kills Ava or not – which was Ava and Silas’s motivation to lie. But Carly does not want Morgan tethered to Ava for 18 years if it came out they share a child. And we know Carly has hidden paternity secrets before.
It’s not certain who knows about Avery’s true paternity, but what is certain is that Morgan and Sonny do not know – but they will before too much more time elapses. In fact, knowing may be a good thing for Morgan because having a daughter could encourage him to take better care of himself.
The paternity reveal would be good for GH fans that are tired of the endless custody case. This would shut it down once and for all so we can move on! Share your comments below on whether you hope Morgan is Avery’s bio-dad. And come back to CDL often for more “General Hospital” spoilers and news.
