General Hospital Spoilers: Ava Keeps Her Pills And Ploys To Herself As She Plots To Frame Kristina For Murder

General Hospital spoilers report Ava Jerome (Maura West) secured a prescription for sleeping pills from Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), but whispers suggest a far darker intent!

In a recent episode, Ava claimed to suffer from insomnia after her split with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), but the timing is suspicious — coming right after she clocked Ric over the head in Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn), with Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) watching it all go down.

Now tied up in the basement, Ric’s captivity has Ava plotting: what if she uses those pills to poison him, framing Kristina for murder? Kristina and Alexis are already in deep, helping hide Ric, but Ava’s solo ploy could send them both to prison. Will Ava’s twisted plan work, or will it backfire spectacularly?

Ava’s Sleeping Pill Scheme Takes a Deadly Turn

Ava’s request for sleeping pills from Lucas, citing post-breakup stress, raises red flags — especially since she’s knee-deep in Ric’s assault cover-up.

Fans theorize she’s not planning to pop them herself but to overdose Ric while Kristina’s “on watch” in the basement, making it look like Kristina poisoned him in a panic.

Ava’s history of dodging charges and manipulating allies makes this plausible; she could slip the pills into Ric’s food or water, then “discover” his body and pin it on Kristina’s grudge over the brake-tampering blackmail.

This frame job would eliminate Ric as a threat and tighten Ava’s control, but it’s a high-wire act — if Ric survives or talks, Ava is the one exposed.

Ava Spies a Path to Prison for Kristina and Alexis

Kristina’s vulnerability makes her the perfect fall guy in Ava’s eyes — she’s already fragile from losing her daughter and sister and family feuds, and her role in hiding Ric ties her to the scene.

If Ava succeeds in poisoning Ric, Kristina could face murder charges, with Ava testifying she “saw” Kristina dosing him.

Alexis, now part of the pact to keep Ric captive, might get dragged in as an accessory if evidence links her home to the crime.

Ava’s ploy could send mother and daughter to prison, clearing her path while destroying the Davis family. But Kristina’s ties mean Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) might sniff out the setup, turning the tables on Ava.

Ava’s Risky Gamble: Backfire or Brilliant?

Underestimating Ava’s ruthlessness is a mistake. She’s capable of anything to protect herself, as her past schemes prove.

But if Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) or Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos) gets wind of Ric’s disappearance, Ava’s plan could crumble.

Molly, Ric’s daughter, might not buy a frame job on Kristina, potentially rallying allies to expose Ava. If Ric overdoses but lives, his testimony could bury her. Will Ava pull off this murderous frame, or will her pills and ploys lead to her own downfall?

This could be Ava’s deadliest mistake yet. Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how this plays out.
