General Hospital‘s recent episode featured Sonny and Ava on the verge of an intense face-off. This happened after Ava received a call from Avery’s school informing her that her child had been removed from school. As Sonny had not informed her about the development, she angrily went to his house.
Ava and Sonny face off as old tensions return on General Hospital
Ava and Sonny shared a traditional, loving relationship that faced several challenges over the years, ultimately resulting in their split. They have been divorced and have been battling over Avery’s custody for a long time. It all started back in November 2015, when Ava recorded Sonny’s threats and presented them as proof to secure sole custody. In the following year, Carly threatened Ava with her sex tape to transfer the custody rights to Sonny. Ava’s involvement in Connie Falconeri’s killing also risked her custody, but she had visitation rights at that time, too.
After some time, she lost her custody rights to Sonny in a private agreement, only to regain them later by blackmailing him. In 2021, when Sonny was presumed dead, Ava became the only custodial parent of Avery. At the time, she kept her daughter at Wyndemere Castle with her then-husband Nikolas Cassadine. In 2025, Ava and Sonny agreed to joint custody, but they continue to clash over personal and co-parenting issues.
Ava’s recent outburst towards Sonny is an example of how they continue to have differences. In the latest General Hospital episode, she didn’t even listen to what Sonny had to say about why he took Avery out of school. She was just furious because Sonny didn’t inform her.
Moreover, Jerome also warned that Sonny would not get away with making decisions about Avery behind her back again. When the school call rang, she was with Willow, discussing ways to get Nina out of Steinmauer.
