The recent episode of the ABC soap opera General Hospital saw a legal showdown that might flip the relationship dynamics in Port Charles. Kristina, who had been blaming Ava Jerome for the death of her unborn baby, was countered by Ric Lansing.
A clip of the episode, shared by the official Facebook page of General Hospital, sparked a debate among the fans about whether Ava was the one responsible for Kristina’s fall at the Metro Court Hotel.
“I don’t think Ava pushed her, Kristina is always causing drama and being a brat. She tripped and fell, accident. Ava is no saint but she didn’t push her,” wrote a user Sonia Goldwaite.
While some fans think that Ava wasn’t the one to be held responsible, others have a contradictory opinion.
General Hospital: The courtroom showdown in Port Charles
The November 26, 2024 episode of General Hospital was packed with tension as the courtroom drama between Kristina Corinthos-Davis and Ava Jerome escalated to new heights. Ric Lansing, Ava's cunning lawyer, became the main focus, asking Kristina tough questions while she was on the stand.
The case was about Kristina's fall at the Metro Court pool, which caused her to lose her unborn baby, something she believes Ava is responsible for.
Ric began his questioning by accusing Kristina of lying, challenging her on her emotions and statements. He pointed out inconsistencies in her account of the events. Kristina stayed calm at first, even when Ric mentioned her threats to Ava.
He read from Ava's police report, where she said Kristina told her:
“Withdraw the subpoena or else.”
Although Kristina couldn't remember everything, she still insisted that Ava pushed her out of the window.
Ric, on the other hand, cleverly questioned Kristina's reliability. He pointed out that her first statement to the police didn't mention Ava pushing her and used her public outbursts, including a fight at the Port Charles Grille to make her seem impulsive and unstable.
Ric's most brutal point came when he suggested that Kristina's own actions, including confronting Ava that day, caused her fall and, in the end, the loss of her baby.
The courtroom situation got even more intense when Ric brought up Kristina's past, including her emotional issues and reasons for seeing Ava. Ric's constant questioning made Kristina cry, as she kept saying through her tears that she wasn't to blame for her daughter's death.
Meanwhile, Ava quietly watched as her lawyer challenged Kristina's stance, while Molly and TJ were shocked by the tough methods used against her.
The conflict between Kristina and Ava, which was already full of past betrayals and anger, was brought into sharp focus during this intense courtroom exchange. Ava’s role in Kristina’s pain is undeniable, but the legal battle showed that in Port Charles, even the truth can be twisted in the name of justice.
