General Hospital Spoilers: Will Fans Ever Find Out Who Killed Austin Gaitlin-Holt?

General Hospital (GH) spoilers suggest that it’s not often that the soap leaves fans hanging when it comes to a storyline, especially a “Who Dun It” mystery. Still, it seems as if the show has dropped the ball. Back in November 2023, Austin Gaitlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) was killed.

This created a domino effect where Ava Jerome (Maura West) was being stalked by someone unknown, implying that they had done her a favor by killing Austin and there were hints that the murder could be pinned on her.

General Hospital Spoilers – Fans Have Somewhat Forgotten About Austin’s Death

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) stepped in, in an effort to protect her, and while it seemed as if Ava was headed on a road to redemption with the mob boss, things have since spiraled completely out of control with the exes hating each other now, more than ever.

Thanks to the drama between Avery Corinthos’s (Ava and Grace Scarola) parents, fans have somewhat forgotten about Austin’s death. But will the show ever circle back to address this?

GH Spoilers – New Writers Have Affected Storylines

GH spoilers remind fans that a ton of changes within the show’s writing team since early 2024 have affected characters and storylines.

This has had viewers scratching their heads whenever a plot twist has taken place, and there have been a lot of questionable things that some Port Charles residents have done.

Due to the twists and turns (and more twists and turns), the story has geared away from the root of why Ava moved in with Sonny, which was Austin’s murder and his killer taunting Ava.

General Hospital Spoilers – Will This Be Buried Under The Rug?

GH spoilers hint that Ava has so much on her plate right now, the last thing she cares about are the notes she found in her home once upon a time after Austin’s murder.

Her biggest threat is Sonny taking her out for being the reason Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) lost her baby; another big worry is avoiding prison if she gets tried and is found guilty of this.

Ava is in a “darned if you do, darned if you don’t” situation, which likely means that Austin’s murder and who was behind his death will likely be buried under the rug and remain a mystery, too. For the time being, anyway!
