According to teasers for General Hospital, Ava Jerome (Maura West) thinks that she killed Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) by striking him in the head. However, Nikolas really avoided Ava’s attack and was healed by Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth). While Austin actually transferred Nikolas to a safe location so that he could heal, he feigned to assist Ava in getting rid of Nikolas’ body.
Meanwhile, Ava was tricked into thinking that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) was holding Nikolas’s corpse and using blackmail to get her to assist him in carrying out Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) orders.
Austin Gatlin-Holt knew Nikolas Cassadine Was Alive The Whole Time!
Austin was aware that Nikolas was still alive and well even though Mason appeared to be blackmailing both Austin and Ava. After his recovery was complete, Nikolas left Austin’s care to start exploring Europe.
In the meantime, Laura Collins (Genie Francis), Nikolas’ mother, started looking throughout Europe for her lost son. After some time, Laura’s quest turned out a bank where Nikolas kept the majority of his money. At the bank, Laura made a startling discovery!
Laura Collins Found Proof That Nikolas Cassadine Was Alive!
Laura discovered that Nikolas was at the very same bank and was making regular withdrawals. This proved to Laura that her son was still alive. He just didn’t want to be found. Happy that her son was alive, Laura was nonetheless upset by his decision to go into hiding.
Nikolas will face criminal charges in Port Charles should he ever return for kidnapping Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), the mother of his newborn son.
Ava Jerome Will Soon Learn A Startling Truth!
Since Laura came back from her trip abroad, Ava and Laura haven’t had an opportunity to catch up. Mason had been holding Ava, and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) had just rescued her. Ava will start to have even more doubts about Austin as she finds out from Laura that Nikolas has been alive for the entire time.
Watch for Ava to face Austin and insist on getting the whole truth. This will probably put a stop to any romantic feelings between them, but it might also reveal Cyrus’s true role in Nikolas’ recuperation.
What Do You Think?
Will Ava realize that Austin has been playing her all this time? Will she tell Laura what she did to Nikolas? And will Cyrus’ involvement in this whole mess finally come out?
Anything can happen in Port Charles so stay tuned to General Hospital airing weekdays on ABC.
