GH Spoilers: Austin And Ava Interrupted, Mason Uses Nikolas To Blackmail?

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) are interrupted-likely by Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey). Mason is trying to force Austin to come back to the “family” and he’s been pressing Ava as well-and now he uses Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) to blackmail them?

General Hospital Spoilers – Mason Gatlin Has A Job

Mason has a job to do and he’s expecting Austin and Ava to do it – and he’s got leverage that will make them comply, especially Ava. They already knew that Mason saw them the night that Nikolas “died” but what they don’t know is that he’s alive, Mason having removed him from the tack closet. In all the confusion of Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) breaking out of Spring Ridge along with his little family, no one even noticed Mason moving Nikolas.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Mason has had Nikolas on life support, reporting to the “family’s” boss, who has relocated from Pautauk, where Austin owned several rentals and had a thriving medical practice. Apparently the “boss” who is a female, has relocated near or in Port Charles, since Mason has relocated too-the “family business” appears to be moving drugs in human drug mules.

GH Spoilers – Why Involve Ava Jerome?

Mason presses the point that he wants Austin AND Ava to do this job, and neither understands what the point even is of involving Ava. Mason explains that they will find out soon enough, and that makes both Austin and Ava angry. They were having an important discussion at General Hospital when Mason barges in in the hallway, and they quickly move to Austin’s office and close the door.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Austin keeps probing Mason and telling him to get to the point and explain himself and wants to know exactly what this job he’s pressuring them BOTH into is. Ava pipes up, explaining if this is some sort of mob business, she’s been out of the mob for many years-there is no more Jerome crime family.

General Hospital Spoilers – I Talk, You Listen!

Mason tells Ava and Austin he talks, they listen-and Ava in particular! Mason asks, has Ava not noticed that little statuette she planted in the back of Nikolas’ head has been missing-the one both her and Nikolas’ DNA is on? In all the confusion of that night and when Ryan and his brood darkened her door, she’d forgotten all about it!

Then Ava’s phone sounds off, and Austin’s sounds off at the same time-Mason tells them to check their phones. Ava and Austin are shocked to see front and back headshots of Nikolas on life support, showing evidence of the wound-if they don’t comply, Nikolas dies from a fresh wound!
