General Hospital’s Maura West Reacts to Deadly Exit Theory – See What GH Star Said About Ava Jerome Killed Off

General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that there have been rumblings about a popular female actress getting the boot at the ABC soap. That’s led to plenty of speculation on social media about who might be headed for the exit door.

Of course, there’s no denying that Ava Jerome (Maura West) is being painted into a pretty terrible corner right now.

Although Ava has escaped out of tight spots before, some viewers are worried this could truly be the end of the road.

If the show wants to do a fatal whodunit with Ava at the center of it, they’ve certainly laid the groundwork for a story like that.

There’d be no shortage of suspects if they decided to wipe Ava off the map.

Regardless, Maura West addressed the possibility of her character facing a grim fate during a red-carpet interview at the Daytime Emmys.

Here’s what West said after Michael Fairman mentioned that fans were worried about Ava getting killed off.

“Are they?! You’ll have to watch and see what happens,” West insisted. “That’s all I can tell you…”

West joked that Fairman would have to get her drunk to get the real scoop later, so she tried to throw in some humor and perhaps steer the conversation away from any potential spoilers.

On social media, viewers have been debating West’s reaction to the topic of Ava possibly facing a deadly exit.

Some people think West seemed like she was putting on an act – like maybe she knew Ava was getting killed off and had to pretend like she didn’t.

Whatever the case, Maura West is practically soap royalty and has become very beloved in the role despite Ava’s many mistakes over the years.

If Ava makes one blunder too many and doesn’t survive, fans will definitely miss her on GH.

There’s no confirmation on what the future holds just yet, but our predictions say Ava’s digging quite a hole for herself by hiding the truth about Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) altered meds and manipulating him.

That’s on top of Ava’s betrayal of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and other shady moves that have been revealed lately.

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) isn’t happy about Ava making sure she lost her law license either, so the show’s been going out of their way to make Ava a villain.

Is GH gearing up for Ava’s grisly departure or will she manage to use another one of her nine lives to stick around?

General Hospital spoilers say Ava’s storyline will come with some shocking news, so stick with us for updates on all the mayhem.
