General Hospital fans were in for a shock this week when Avery Corinthos popped back up on the canvas… looking noticeably different.
Twins Ava and Grace Scarola have played the part of Avery since she was born.
However, they seem to have been replaced with a MUCH older actress.
Here’s what’s coming up next on GH, spoilers down below!
Key Takeaways
- Ayla Bullington debuts as the new Avery Corinthos
- Ava and Grace Scarola previously portrayed the character
- Avery confronts Josslyn over her feud with Sonny
- The recast gives Avery a more mature presence in Port Charles
- Bullington opens up about playing Sonny and Ava’s daughter
GH Comings And Goings
According to General Hospital comings and goings, the soap has hired up-and-coming actress Ayla Bullington to portray Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) teen daughter.
This is the new addition to the daytime show’s first television role, and aside from a few minor roles in indie films, it’s her first major acting gig EVER.
Now that Avery Corinthos is back in Port Charles, fans can expect the character to stir up quite a bit of drama.
On Monday’s episode, Bullington’s character faced off against her sorta step-sister Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).
Avery is loyal and will always be on Team Sonny (Maurice Benard), and she made that very clear when she was confronting Joss about going after her dad.
GH Spoilers: There’s A New Avery In Town
Ayla Bullington seems to be making herself comfortable on the ABC soap.
After her General Hospital debut on Monday, November 9, the young star sat down with TV Insider to dish on her new soap opera role.
While chatting about Avery Corinthos, Bullington told the website, “She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”
Annemarie’s Take
I think aging Avery opens up some interesting possibilities, especially with Sonny and Josslyn already at odds.
Avery is fiercely protective of her father, and that confrontation certainly proved she’s not afraid to speak her mind. I’m curious to see how Ayla Bullington settles into the role and whether Avery becomes more involved in the Corinthos family drama.

Did the soap make the right choice by SORASing the character?
