General Hospital spoilers: Laura uncovers a new threat as Sonny and Ava’s custody battle drags on with no resolution in sight

General Hospital is experiencing a myriad of problems. The current plot involves the exit of some central characters, while others have battles and health issues to address. According to the soap's spoilers, the town Mayor, Laura Collins, is slated to get vital information that could potentially put her city in danger. This may involve either Cyrus or Sidwell, the criminals.

On the other hand, Ava has decided to fight Sonny for Avery's custody even if it takes her a long time. This is while Sonny is facing heart problems that led to his recent spell of fainting. Ava is likely to feel confident as she has Ric on her side.

Elsewhere, Tracy is in lockup after Drew had her arrested. However, she has decided to cut a deal with Willow that leaves Drew out of the equation.

Meanwhile, General Hospital has been presenting relationship complications among the residents of the fictional town of Port Charles since its premiere in April 1963. The soap's plot primarily centers around the titular hospital in the town extending to include its staff, mobsters, and law enforcers.

General Hospital: Current plot dynamics involving Laura Collins

Laura Spencer-Collins, the town Mayor, has been in a happy place lately with both her children Lucky and Lulu up and about in town. She had worked hard to get the comatose Lulu treated for her liver ailment. She arranged to get Lucky back in town and convinced him to stay back.

After Lulu's liver donor, Sam McCall died, a shocked Laura hoped for Lulu's recovery. However, she was desperate to act when Lulu went missing from the hospital after her successful surgery.

Moreover, she kept an eye on her presumably reformed brother, Cyrus Renault, who was forbidden to meet the family. After Lulu reconnected with her mother, Laura had the hard task of informing her about Valentin and Charlotte. Laura stood in support of her daughter's reclaiming life while urging her to take things slow.

Through all this, the town Mayor kept a tab on the law enforcement and administration under her jurisdiction. As such, she is likely to get information about anything disturbing happening in town, as the spoilers suggest. However, there is no clear indication of what, or who, the information might be about.

It may involve her brother Cyrus Renault or maybe the return of mobster Jenz Sidwell to town. Since Sidwell bought the property of Wyndemere, Laura may hear about it.

On the other hand, it could be the news about Tracy Quartermaine's arrest. In the latter case, Laura may decide to stay out of the Quartermaine family battle.

Fortunately, Avery was at Carly Spencer's place at the time of the explosion and was safe. However, Ava wants to take on the responsibility of her daughter's welfare. Attorney Ric Lansing has promised to keep her back.

With Carly Corinthos slated to accompany Michael to the burn clinic in Germany and Sonny diagnosed with health issues, Ava may get her chance to care for her daughter in the future General Hospital storyline.
