Many fans tried to reason that this new development should not hit Ava as hard as it has, given her pre-existing financial status.

What is the current storyline with Ava Jerome on General Hospital?

On December 30, 2024, in General Hospital, Ava Jerome discovered that her divorce settlement was transferred to Ace Cassadine. After learning that her divorce settlement was no longer hers, Ava Jerome turned to Port Charles attorney Laura Collins for help to regain control over her finances. Laura had to inform Ava that there was nothing she could do, and the matter remained unresolved for the character on the soap.

Becoming frustrated, Ava even turned to Alexis Davis for some help but was rejected from that front too. It is worth remembering that Ava won her trial against Alexis' daughter Kristina on the accusation of causing Kristina's miscarriage. It is evident that Alexis might harbor a grudge against Ava for some more time ahead.

Ava has been facing a difficult time on a few other fronts too. Sonny Corinthos recently met with Alexis to talk about his ongoing custody dispute with Ava over their child Avery. Alexis relayed the news about Ava and her settlement issues, saying that the unexpected financial difficulties would work in Sonny's favor.

It remains to be seen how (or if) this storyline works out in Ava's favor, or whether there is a string of some more bad luck waiting for her up ahead.
