The gallerista has been preying on Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) maternal instincts and fear that Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) could end up behind bars if Ava and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) turn her in for slicing and dicing the brake lines in Ric’s car.
With both Alexis and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) now aware of Kristina’s guilt, it’s only a matter of time before Sonny learns of Ava’s blackmail and Ric’s complicity.
As Ava basks in her joint custody agreement with Sonny over Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola), will Sonny’s wrath spark a new custody battle against her and a brutal revenge against his despised half-brother Ric, or can Ava keep her scheme under wraps?
Sonny Circles Around the Truth
Whispers around Port Chuck suggest that Alexis and Lucky — both privy to Kristina’s brake-tampering — are inadvertently paving the way for Sonny to learn the truth.
Lucky, driven by his years-long loyalty to Elizabeth, might confide in Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), while Alexis could slip to Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), whose loyalty to Sonny runs deep.
If either channel reaches Sonny, he’ll be livid to discover Ava has been twisting Alexis into a pretzel and blackmailing her to bury Kristina’s crime, with Ric as her eager partner. Will Sonny’s discovery come from a trusted ally, or will Ava’s taunting push Alexis to crack?
Spoilers Squeal Sonny’s Dual Revenge Takes Shape
Sonny, now recovered from his recent heart surgery, is at full strength and unlikely to let Ava’s betrayal slide. Speculation swirls that he’ll retaliate by reopening their custody battle, aiming to strip Ava of Avery by painting her as a manipulative blackmailer.
But Ric, his loathed half-brother, presents a thornier target. Sonny’s history of bad blood with Ric — fueled by decades of betrayal — could lead to a more personal vendetta, perhaps sabotaging Ric’s legal career or framing him for a crime to neutralize his influence.
If Sonny learns Ric egged Ava on — a lie not all that far-fetched should Ava throw Ric to the wolves to try to save herself — Sonny’s rage might push him to extreme measures, risking his retirement plans. How far will Sonny go to crush Ric and Ava?
Back to the Drawing Board…and Court
If Sonny launches a custody war against Ava, her financial empire — propped up by blackmail money — could collapse, forcing her to sell her art gallery to fund her defense.
Sound familiar? Sonny’s revenge on Ric might destabilize Port Charles’ legal circles, especially if Ric counters with dirt on Sonny’s mob dealings.
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) could back Sonny, while Kristina’s guilt might fracture family unity with Alexis. Will Sonny learn the truth in time to destroy Ava and Ric or will they outmaneuver him?
Sonny’s vengeful wrath could cost Ava her daughter and Ric his livelihood. Keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers to see how this plays out for everyone involved.
