GH spoilers imply now that Mason Gatlin (Nathanyeal Grey) is back in the picture, this storyline is sure to ramp up. It feels like a hot minute since fans saw Mason talking to someone on the phone, as Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) sat on life support. Looks like Mr. Gatlin’s boss wants Ava to use her co-parenting status with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to offer up some information; however, Ms. Jerome finally has a positive relationship with the mob boss and the last thing she’ll want to do is throw him under the bus.

It looks like Ava will be stuck between a rock and a hard place. It also looks like she’ll be navigating dangerous waters with Austin right beside her. They seem to have bonded over all this drama and are certainly becoming closer friends by the moment. Still, when it comes to the land of soap operas, dire circumstances tend to push the best of friends into romance. Could this happen with Ava and Austin?
