A shocking reveal of last week’s Cliffhanger Friday changes took fans by surprise. Austin Holt lied there lifeless as he bled from a gunshot wound. Someone shot Dr. Austin Holt and left him for dead. Was it Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? Or maybe Nikolas Cassadine? Hey, what about Ava Jerome (Maura West)?

Many had hoped that Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth), or that if he died then Roger could return as someone else. Sadly, neither of those ideal scenarios came true. Instead, General Hospital spoilers and news reports confirm that Austin is dead. GH Blog previously shared Roger Howarth’s GH exit announcement and confirmation.

Austin and his lollipop 🍭 licking cousin Mason have been up to no good. The difference is that Mason is seemingly rotten to the core while Austin has been forced by Cyrus. So if Mason is the real bad guy and Austin was forced to go along for the ride, then justice didn’t come through. Instead, Mason gets off with a slap on the wrist with a trip to Pentonville. Meanwhile, Austin, a doctor, winds up dead.

We are sad to see both of these actors and their roles go. Fans truly felt that Roger would return in a new role as he’s been notoriously known for role switch ups on GH. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. And as for Mason, the door was left open for Nathanyael and Mason to return.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) turned to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help when Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) became a threat. Although his cousin Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) has a thing for the blond, former mobster, Mason has a job to do.

According to General Hospital recaps, Ava and Austin hit it off as friends before things quickly became physical. But that’s when threats escalated and there wasn’t time for any type of messing around in any aspect. So, was Ava and Austin’s encounter a “one and done” situation?

GH rumors tease that Austin can’t be trusted but he’s also not purely a bad guy. Instead, he’s been forced into this by family. Cyrus and Austin’s pasts are tied together and it seems like Cyrus uses that fact as leverage. Now that we know that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, it’s easier to see that Austin truly cares about Ava and doesn’t want to engage in Cyrus and Mason’s games. But Austin remains dishonest with Ava about the most important element of this entire situation. Not until Laura Spencer told Ava about Nikolas Cassadine’s bank activity did she think that her ex was alive. She eels to be in the dark about some important facts that could either keep her safe or risk her life.

Sonny Thinks Ava’s Sleeping With The Enemy

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava questions Austin after Sonny gives a warning. According to recent GH previews, Sonny tells Ava that she’s in bed with the enemy. And the look on her face is worth a thousand words. Although she is fond of Austin, I don’t think that she fully trusts him anyway. How is she going to react when she discovers that he has know that Nikolas was alive this whole time?

I can just hear it now, “Mason the Hero!” Will Austin Holt’s mysterious, bald headed, lollipop licking cousin go from a miscreant to a knight in shining armor? From Ava’s worst nightmare to her rescuer?

If you missed any part of Fridays 9/29/23 episode, then you may have missed the dramatic scene on Spoon Island. General Hospital recaps indicate that Ava’s in a bad way! Over at Wyndemere, Ava Jerome (Maura West) collects her thoughts. She’s finally alone for the night and can kick back when she’s interrupted by an unwanted guest. Then, Mason appears right before her eyes! Well, we can assure you that he didn’t whisk her off her feet and head to Paradise. But we do have an inkling that if Mason chooses differently, Ava will be dead.

Mason Does The Right Thing… For A Reward?

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Mason saves Ava’s life while risking his own. As of now, Ava thinks she killed her ex-husband. In fact, she had a witness. But neither of them even checked to see if he was actually dead. And besides, Austin’s lying to Ava anyway. He knows darn all that Nikolas is alive but he’s playing this game with Mason and their mystery boss. While it’s apparent that Austin can’t be trusted, he doesn’t aw all bad. Perhaps he’s being forced or coerced? Either way, Ava can’t trust him.

Now she’s been abducted by his cousin and her life is in danger. However, GH spoilers and rumors hint that Mason makes a decision that saves Ava’s life. As more about Cyrus’s connection to Mason and Austin unfolds, GH rumors speculate that Cyrus ordered Mason to kill Ava but Mason can’t go through with it. Instead, he brings her to Nikolas Cassadine. But before you get all starry eyed over Mason’s act of heroism, take into consideration that it wasn’t all selflessness. Nope, he didn’t do this out of the pure kindness of his heart. Ok, maybe a little.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas offered Mason a generous reward if he delivered Ava to him. From this point on, Mason has a target on his back.

Mason Gatlin (Nathyael Grey) is a pest at best. He came slithering into Port Charles with his eyes on his cousin Austin Holt (Roger Howarth). At the time, Dr. Austin Holt has an air about him that gave off confident doctor vibes, while also showcasing an eerie aura. But for the most part, Austin seemed harmless.

Aside from the fact that he popped up out of absolutely nowhere, then eventually outed himself as Jimmy Lee Holt’s son, Austin’s been surprisingly helpful around Port Charles. First off, the man is a doctor. He delivered Maxie Jones’s (Kirsten Storms) in the Pautuck woods for crying out loud. And without him, the unthinkable could have happened. Thankfully, he was there to being little Bailey Lou into the world.

As if one mysterious individual from Pautuck wasn’t enough, in strolls Mason, Austin’s cousin. He smelled like trouble right of the bat, making those close to Austin very suspicious. As it turns out, first impressions truly tell a large part of someone’s overall being. That said, everyone who instinctively saw Mason’s creepy vibe is correct. His involvement with Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) says it all.

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Ava could be left with one less problem if Cyrus has Mason killed. After all, as far as Cyrus is concerned, someone has to pay for the botched FBI sting with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

General Hospital Spoilers: Cassadine’s Unite In The Biggest Takeover Attempt Yet- Nikolas and Valentin Are Pikeman?!

Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman

Once a Cassadine, always a Cassadine! Could it be true that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman?!?! It’s a fact! Despite what Ava was told, her ex-husband Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) isn’t dead. In fact, he’s very much alive. Some might say that he’s more alive than ever before. With a Cassadine bloodline comes power and expectations, along with loyalty to the family.

Previously, GH spoilers and rumors teased that Valentin Cassadine is heavily involved with Pikeman- more so than he ever let Anna know. Before Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) death, he and his son Valentin didn’t see eye to eye. Victor wanted Cassadine unity in order to take over Port Charles, and the world. However, Valentin opposed such control and rejected evil Cassadine ways. But what if Victor had special plans for his son in The Haunted Star? Plans that maybe Valentin couldn’t refuse.

Never Trust A Cassadine- Nik and Val Follow In Victor’s Footsteps?

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas and Valentin joined forces to carry out Victor’s wishes. Undoubtedly, each and every Cassadine has darkness within them. Ok, maybe not Alexis and her girls). But it’s pretty clear that Nikolas and Valentin are as dark as it gets.

Additionally, Valentin knows that Anna and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) are dear friends. So it honestly makes sense that Nikolas and Valentin would target bother Sonny and Anna. Furthermore, the connection between Anna, Sonny, and Ava to the Cassadines is enough reason why it’s quite possible that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman!
