General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) may be turning the tables on Ava Jerome (Maura West) and watching her squirm. GH fans know someone mysterious showed up at Austin Gatlin-Holt’s (Roger Howarth) house in Pautuck, which caught Austin off guard.
Austin’s reaction made it seem like he was confused and maybe even a little annoyed rather than scared.
It wasn’t the reaction of someone who expected to face a grim fate moments later, but that’s exactly what happened.
You could easily argue that Austin’s response fits with the level of familiarity he had for Nikolas – especially since he would’ve been baffled by Nik showing back up out of the blue.
Of course, Ava is now under suspicion, which might’ve been part of Nikolas’ motive. Vengeful Nikolas might like the idea of Ava landing on the suspect list and having to deal with the cops.
There’s also the matter of the sinister mind games that someone is now playing with Ava.
It looks like the person who took Austin out wanted to send Ava an unsettling message and act like they did this for her.
If Nikolas pulled the trigger and is now taunting Ava, then he may be coming back on the scene as a full-fledged villain!
After all, it’s pretty low for Nikolas to eliminate the very doctor who helped keep him alive.
If Nikolas is the reason that Austin is deceased, then the character’s taken a shocking turn that can only end in more trouble.
Naturally, we also have to point out that GH writers still haven’t revealed the anonymous Wyndemere buyer.
Since we know Nikolas was withdrawing large amounts from his accounts in Geneva, perhaps he was prepping for that purchase.
Nikolas may be taking steps to reclaim Spoon Island and the castle he once owned. If all that’s true, Nikolas could have a stunning big reveal in store for Ava down the road.
There may be a disturbing reunion where Nikolas reveals himself as Wyndmere’s buyer and makes it clear to Ava that he’s behind Austin’s grisly fate, too.
General Hospital spoilers say Nikolas may find other ways to mess with Ava as we build to his Port Charles comeback, so stay tuned for updates on all the wild Nik news that’s brewing.
