**Ava Lost Her Lawyer Scott Before The Trial – Lucy Forced Scott To Stop! General Hospital Spoilers**
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Lucy Coe’s words have significantly impacted Scott Baldwin’s decisions. Scott initially aimed to prove that Heather Webber’s serial killing spree was due to Cobalt poisoning. However, Lucy had a starkly different view, believing that regardless of Heather’s potential for change, her murderous past couldn’t be overlooked. This divide in perspectives led to tension, especially with Scott and Laura Collins wanting to help Heather, while the rest of the town opposed it.
Lucy confronted Scott with a poignant question: what if one of his children had fallen victim to Heather? This moral quandary led Scott to ultimately step back from Heather’s case. Recently, Scott agreed to represent Ava Jerome, a move that could spark significant controversy, particularly if Lucy finds out about it.
Lucy, a savvy businesswoman, is adept at uncovering secrets. Through her connections with Sonny Corinthos and other informants, she learns about Ava’s intentions to gain custody of Avery Corinthos. Moreover, she discovers Ava’s sinister plan to send Sonny to prison to ensure her victory in the custody battle and effectively remove Sonny from Avery’s life.
Determined to thwart Ava’s plans, Lucy takes matters into her own hands. Ava’s actions threaten not only Sonny, with whom Lucy has a complicated but often supportive relationship, but also the Deception company. The release of Natalia Ramirez’s recording of the Invader about Blaze jeopardized Deception’s image, as Blaze is crucial to the company’s branding and sales. Lucy is furious that Ava’s personal feud with Natalia is now affecting her business, jeopardizing Deception’s hard-earned reputation and stability.
Lucy confronts Scott, who finds himself in a precarious position due to his decision to represent Ava. She pressures him to reconsider and withdraw from the case, even offering to compensate him for any financial losses incurred. Lucy is also willing to use her influence to protect Scott’s reputation in the legal community if he faces backlash for his sudden exit.
Lucy’s determination is driven by her desire to protect both her company and Sonny. She knows that if Ava succeeds, it could spell disaster for Deception’s public image, driving away investors and damaging consumer confidence. Lucy strategically leverages her resources and influence to counter Ava’s every move, playing dirty because she knows the stakes are high.
Scott is caught in a difficult ethical and professional dilemma. On one hand, he has a duty to his client Ava, who relies on his expertise to secure custody of Avery. On the other hand, strong pressure from Lucy and his own doubts about Ava’s tactics make his position increasingly uncomfortable. Scott’s decision will have a significant impact, potentially changing the outcome of the custody battle and Deception’s future.
Meanwhile, Sonny is preparing for the fight of his life, acutely aware that his relationship with Avery is at risk. Losing custody could have severe emotional consequences for both Sonny and Avery. With Lucy’s support and strategic intervention, Sonny gains a stronger position. Lucy’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering gives Sonny the edge he desperately needs.
Unaware of the full extent of Lucy’s interference, Ava continues her plan, confident in her ability to overcome Sonny.
