General Hospital Spoilers: Austin Works Ava, Sonny Needs To Die?

General Hospital Spoilers indicate Ava Jerome (Maura West) is now glaringly aware of Mason Gatlin’s (Nathanyael Grey) ill intentions for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Mason has his eyes set on the notorious mobster, but just why does he want Sonny dead? The enigmatic puppeteer pulling Mason’s strings remains unnamed, casting an ominous shadow over his plan to strong-arm Ava into killing her baby daddy.

Mason’s cousin, Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) seems to think it’s a fantastic idea — and the only option. Ava isn’t quite that eager to commit murder of another one of her ex-lovers. She thinks there must be a way to weasel out of this, and her waffling is making Austin grow more irritated by the minute.

Why is the good doctor so anxious about seeing to it that Mason’s orders are carried out in a timely fashion anyway? What’s it to him?

Austin seems to be pressuring Ava, implying that she has no control over the situation. In an unexpected turn, Austin danced around the idea that he is attracted to Ava, and credited his concern for her to such. This flattery stirred Ava’s emotions, leading her to question Austin’s motives.

General Hospital spoilers show Ms. Jerome is not one to be easily swayed. Despite Austin’s attempts at persuasion, Ava will remain reluctant to comply with Mason’s demands. The request is far too grave — she’s being asked to kill her daughter’s father. Fearful of the consequences and unwilling to hurt her daughter, Ava is caught in a moral dilemma — again.

Rumor has it Ava is going to Mason’s orders, and she may face dire consequences because of that decision. Mason could retaliate in unimaginable ways, such as abducting Avery Corinthos (Grace Scarola). How would she ever explain that to Sonny?

Maybe Ava would feel like she could finally come clean with him and tell him the truth about Mason being after him. But then she would also have to reveal why Mason has her over a barrel — because she killed Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) — or so she thinks. Ava really doesn’t want to hand Sonny any leverage to use against her either.

General Hospital Spoilers — Who Is Pulling the Strings Here?

Right now, Ava might think she has other cards to play, but she’s going to be left with a difficult choice. If she refuses Mason’s orders, she will risk her little girl’s safety. But if she complies, she will risk losing her daughter’s love and respect — and possibly much more if things go awry or anyone finds out she was behind Sonny’s death. Will Ava find a way out of this predicament?

As this thrilling storyline unfolds, fans are left wondering – who is the real villain? Is Mason the mastermind, or is Austin the mastermind behind the scenes? He just might push her over the edge when Ava comes to realize it’s Sonny — or her. Austin is right, it’s better that Sonny dies than he and Ava do, right? Is Ava falling into a cunning trap?
