General Hospital Spoilers: The Fans Are Divided — Which Parent Should Be Awarded Custody Of Avery?

General Hospital Spoilers spill the ongoing tug-of-war for little Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola) is heating up. With the tension between her parents — Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) — reaching new heights, the question on everyone’s mind is, who should be Avery’s primary caregiver?

Sonny obviously presents some more recent concerns with his home being blown to bits in an explosion , but Ava is broke and her reputation is suffering far worse in recent months with her name being splashed across newspapers as a potential baby killer.

Both of them have been advocating for their right to raise her, but the fans are divided on who would truly be the better parent for the young girl.

Sonny Wins Again?

Some fans argue that Avery should spend more time with Sonny. They point out that despite his risky lifestyle and mob affiliations, the don has shown a deep, protective love for his children.

His ability to provide stability, security, and a sense of family through the Corinthos lineage is seen as a major plus.

These same fans believe that Sonny’s heart is in the right place — even if his methods sometimes stray into morally gray areas.

They sense that Avery needs a father figure who can teach her about loyalty, strength, and the importance of family — no matter the cost. Can the same be said for Ava?

Ava Isn’t All That Bad

On the flip side, there is more support for Ava being the better parent for Avery than many might think. Ava’s journey from villain to a more nuanced character has won hearts, showing her growth in motherhood over the last few years.

Fans in her corner argue that Ava has been more present in Avery’s life, offering a nurturing environment that is less chaotic than Sonny’s.

They feel that Ava’s experience with loss and her desire to protect Avery from the darker aspects of life could provide a safer, more loving upbringing. Ava’s artistic side and her evolution into a protective mother are seen as invaluable for Avery’s development.

In the Best Interest of the Child

Here’s the catch: both Sonny and Ava have their pros and cons; they’re both products of organized crime life, after all. Sonny might offer stability and tradition, but his world is fraught with danger. Ava brings a softer touch, yet her past mistakes can’t be ignored.

The ideal scenario would be for both to set aside their differences for Avery’s sake, co-parenting with mutual respect. Ha! However, given their history, this seems like a dream too far from reality.

This custody battle is certain to be one for the Port Charles history books; perhaps Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) could pen that, too.

Will they ever find a way to coexist for their daughter’s sake, or will Avery continue to be caught in the middle of their feud? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
