Is Maura West’s Ava Jerome leaving General Hospital?

General Hospital’s recent episode that aired on November 25 subtly puts West’s character’s fate on the show at risk, worrying fans. Many are familiar that Ava has committed several crimes in the past and has returned every single time to resume her storyline. This time, she stands in a courtroom for a disturbing crime, which she committed a few weeks ago.
Ava and a pregnant Kristina confront in a hotel room, getting into a very heated argument over her subpoena. Kristina, who doesn’t want to testify against her father, further warns her of exposing her evil deeds, making Ava furious. She tries to grab Kristina but unfortunately, she stumbles upon a bag, leading to her fall out of the window. She falls into the Metro Court pool, which puts her and her unborn child’s life at risk.

The uncertainty has many thinking that West could leave the show or that her character might spend some time in jail like she did in the past. Now whether it will be dealt with Ava leaving the show is expected to be unfolded in the upcoming episodes.
