**Sonny Loses Custody Trial, John Applies Witness Protection Law to Ava! General Hospital Spoilers**
General Hospital spoilers reveal a dramatic twist as Ava Jerome considers invoking witness protection laws to secure her safety and win the custody battle for her children against Sonny Corinthos. Ava is willing to sacrifice her business at the gallery for the sake of her children’s well-being, echoing her late brother Julian Jerome’s past decisions.
Julian, who entered General Hospital as Derrick Wells, had his true identity as Julian Jerome concealed through witness protection. His secret was protected by his sister Ava, who even went as far as murdering Connie Falconer and framing AJ Quartermaine to keep Julian’s past crimes hidden. Julian’s ability to start anew in town was solidified when he donated bone marrow to save Danny Morgan from leukemia, earning the community’s trust before his eventual death during Sonny’s hunt.
Currently, Ava is determined to gain custody of her daughter Avery and believes that only Sonny’s imprisonment can make this possible. Having already lost her eldest daughter, Kiki Jerome, Ava is desperate to keep Avery by her side. John Kates shares Ava’s vendetta against Sonny, blaming him for past grievances involving the Pikeman group and the FBI. Although John is forced to protect Sonny temporarily, he plans to bring him down with Ava’s help.
Ava reveals to John that someone altered Sonny’s bipolar medication, switching it to a placebo. Instead of assisting Sonny, John decides to keep this information secret, aligning with Ava’s strategy. Ava is assured by John that she won’t face jail time and will gain custody of Avery once Sonny is incarcerated. However, this plan requires Ava to hand over or close her gallery to qualify for witness protection, a condition she readily accepts.
Sonny, unaware of Ava’s plan, will be blindsided by her decision. As an FBI witness, Ava becomes untouchable, and she, along with John, holds crucial evidence of Sonny’s crimes. It is only a matter of time before Sonny feels the full impact of Ava’s actions. He will not only face the prospect of losing custody of Avery but also the threat of imprisonment as John and Ava prepare to expose his criminal activities.
This gripping storyline promises intense emotional turmoil and high stakes as Ava and John execute their plan. Sonny’s downfall seems imminent, and fans will be on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting each new development in this dramatic custody battle and the quest for justice in Port Charles.
