"The chain of custody has been broken"— General Hospital fans poke holes in Ava and Ric's flimsy plan to blackmail Alexis

In recent episodes of General Hospital, Kristina made a fatal mistake by rigging Ric's brake wires, assuming it was Ava's car. When Ric was injured in an accident, Ava gathered enough evidence against Kristina. With her findings, Ava decided to expose Kristina, but Ric had other plans.

The spoilers for General Hospital's episode on April 9, 2025, indicate that Ava recounts the details of the car crash caused by Kristina. Ava also reveals that she was Kristina's primary target by presenting evidence from the security camera footage taken in the parking lot.

When Alexis gets shocked after learning about Kristina's involvement, Ava blackmails her as part of her and Ric's flimsy plan. She demands huge payouts from the Cassadine Estate fund. When Alexis refuses to pay Ava, the latter threatens to put Kristina behind bars, leaving Alexis trapped in a difficult spot.

With the shocking developments in the plot dynamics, fans took to social media to express their opinions about Ava and Ric's plan to blackmail Alexis. While some fans explained that there was no evidence, as the car had already been crushed, many viewers noted that Sonny and Alexis would eventually learn about Kristina's involvement.

On April 9, a user named Camille Murphy Mahdi posted in the 'General Hospital Fans—Official' Facebook group that Ava and Ric blackmailing Alexis is ludicrous, as the chain of custody has already been broken.
