Ava’s Surprise Visitor-Nikolas Back In Town?

General Hospital (GH) spoilers and updates tease Ava Jerome (Maura West) will soon receive a surprise visitor-or maybe, that should be a shocking visitor. She suspects Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) is back in town-might he finally show himself?

General Hospital Spoilers – Ava Jerome’s Found Many Clues

Ava has found many clues that she thought came from Nikolas, and she hasn’t known what to think-most relating to Austin Gatlin-Holt’s (Roger Howarth) murder.

Every note, every “gift” included a photo of Austin lying shot dead on the floor, including the most recent-a gun with a note that she might need it.

One would certainly think that Nikolas would know that Ava had her own gun, so why would she need another one-might it be the murder weapon that killed Austin?

That, of course, led Ava to think that perhaps Nikolas killed Austin and was trying to frame her for it-he probably thinks she tried to kill him.

She always regretted throwing that gargoyle at the back of his head, but she’d only intended to slow him down, not to kill him.

GH Spoilers – Brick Unable To Trace The Gun?

Ava had finally given the gun to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for Brick (Stephen A. Smith) to trace as he’d requested, but he wasn’t able to get a read on it.

Like all good mobsters and hitmen do, any traceable imprints or numbers had been filed off so perhaps it wasn’t Nikolas, it was a professional hit man.

Nikolas, however could have hired the hit man to kill Austin if he’d gotten wind that Ava was dating him and became jealous, though they’d been divorced for over a year.

It had been the last straw for Ava finding out that he’d not only slept with Esme Prince, (Avery Kristen Pohl) he’d impregnated her!

Or, Nikolas could have procured said gun off the black market-Cassadines have their fingers in all kinds of things as they always have had for years.

General Hospital Spoilers – Changing All Locks, Ramping Up Security Systems

Ava has already started changing all locks and ramping up security systems both at Wyndemere and at her penthouse, and also at the art gallery.

Wyndemere was recently broken into and of course she expected it to be Nikolas, but there was no sign of him – however, a red woman’s glove was found.

What could that mean-the glove wasn’t Ava’s and she didn’t recognize it either; was it another clue from Nikolas, that didn’t make any sense!

Imagine Ava’s shock and surprise when a visitor knocks at her door and it’s NOT Nikolas. Instead, it’s his uncle Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) but he has a message-Nikolas wants her forgiveness!
