General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Ava Jerome (Maura West) has a rough few weeks ahead of her. For starters, Ava will suffer a medical crisis during the week of October 14-18. Her shocking collapse will leave her shaken and concern the few people in town who actually care about Ava.
We’re pretty much down to Julian Jerome (William deVry) and Laura Webber (Genie Francis), who formed a bit of a bond with Ava since they were both duped by Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom). GH fans can expect Laura to check on Ava after she keels over. She’ll worry about the strain Ava’s under, which is due to a combination of guilt over Kiki Jerome’s (Hayley Erin) death and Ryan’s continued obsession.
All of this is building to something big – perhaps something that could transpire during the Halloween mayhem to come. We should also point out that Ava had an intense therapy session with Neil Byrne (Joe Flanigan) not too long ago. Ava mentioned Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) in that chat, so the Nik talk just keeps revving up. It’s obvious that Nikolas’ return is brewing; it’s just a matter of when he’ll show up.
General Hospital will certainly want to come up with some creative way to reintroduce Nikolas. It’d be interesting if Nikolas reached out to Ava and asked for her help. That could be exactly what Ava needs right now. She’d love to learn Nikolas is actually alive. Coming through for Nikolas would give Ava a sense of purpose as well.
Someone will spook Ava at the Metro Court’s Halloween bash this year. A masked man will lurk and ultimately follow Ava back to her art gallery. Fugitive Ryan would be the predictable route for GH to take, but maybe that’s exactly what they want us to think.
Remember how they tried to make fans believe Nikolas was in the Russian clinic before revealing Patient 6’s (Steve Burton) unmistakable blue eyes? Burton’s return had already been splashed all over the news, so it didn’t fool everyone. However, it was still a fun misdirection strategy.
GH has been playing their Nikolas cards awfully close to the vest. Could Christopher be back on set filming? Will he pop up on screen as a nice surprise? Ava will undoubtedly expect the man behind the mask to be Ryan. It’d be amazing if he took it off and revealed himself to be Nikolas instead.
Whatever the case, General Hospital spoilers say something has to give eventually. Let’s hope Nikolas’ return brings a love story and helps Ava start a new chapter. We’ll give you updates as other GH details emerge. Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates and news.
