In a stunning twist no one anticipated, General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ava Jerome’s

shocking death wasn’t caused by Kristina Corinthos-Davis, despite the cloud of suspicion hanging over her.

Instead, the devastating truth begins to emerge—Sonny Corinthos, Ava’s longtime adversary and Kristina’s father, is the one responsible for ending Ava’s life in a violent fit of rage. What unfolds next is a harrowing journey into betrayal, family loyalty, and the unrelenting consequences of a man pushed too far.

Sonny Corinthos has always ruled Port Charles’ criminal underworld with an iron grip. His name commands fear, respect, and awe. With decades of survival in the mob under his belt, Sonny is no stranger to bloodshed, betrayal, and high-stakes decisions. He’s protected his family with unwavering resolve, even when it meant making morally complex choices. But now, cracks are forming in his once-unshakable exterior.

The breaking point? Ava Jerome.

Ava has always played a dangerous game—manipulating, blackmailing, and leveraging secrets for personal gain. Recently, she seized upon Kristina’s involvement in a tragic accident involving Ric Lansing and Elizabeth Webber, using the scandal to fuel her own ambitions. Rather than going through the legal system, Ava took her threats straight to Sonny, demanding money and, shockingly, custody of their daughter Avery. Her ultimatum was clear: either Sonny complies, or she will expose Kristina’s alleged role in the accident, destroying her in the process.

For Sonny, this was more than just another threat—it was a direct attack on his family, his legacy, and the last threads of trust he had left with Ava. The idea of Ava raising Avery, combined with the notion of Kristina being sent to prison, lit a fire in Sonny that even he couldn’t control.

Viewers will be shocked to see Sonny’s legendary restraint dissolve. Despite all his past feuds and conflicts, he’s always known where the line was. Even when Morgan died—an unspeakable loss Sonny still carries—he chose to spare Ava’s life. Back then, his decision was motivated by guilt, a sliver of mercy, and the fear of leaving his daughter without a mother.

But this time, it’s different.

Years of pent-up anger, guilt, and betrayal finally explode. As Ava continues to press her advantage and push Sonny into a corner, he realizes that he can no longer protect his family while letting Ava live. The price is too high. Her threats too cruel. Her greed too unforgivable. The final confrontation is raw, tragic, and steeped in years of bad blood. In a flash of uncontrollable fury, Sonny takes matters into his own hands—ending Ava’s life and forever altering the course of Port Charles.

But the fallout is just beginning.

Kristina is left stunned as the investigation into Ava’s death puts her in the spotlight. Suspicion, rumors, and grief swirl around her as Sonny works in the shadows to bury the truth. Meanwhile, allies turn into enemies, and the Corinthos family begins to splinter. Questions will be asked, secrets unearthed, and Sonny may find that even in a city ruled by power and fear, there’s no escaping justice—especially when it comes from within your own home.

This game-changing twist promises to shake up the foundations of General Hospital as fans brace for the emotional aftermath of Sonny’s darkest decision yet.
