General Hospital Spoilers Thursday, September 24, 2026: Ava Goes to War Over Avery

Thursday’s General Hospital is a new one (Ep. #16052), 2 p.m. ET and 1 p.m. CT on ABC, with Hulu picking it up the next day. The loudest scene belongs to Ava, who finds out Sonny pulled Avery out of school for a couple of days without asking her. She tells him she’ll fight him with everything she has.

That’s the headline. Underneath it, Michael and Drew finally talk straight, Monet shows up at the Quartermaine mansion to lean on Tracy, and Jordan has a hard conversation with Justine about the kiss she saw. If you want the same news from the network side, this week’s GH listings show no national pre-emption for Thursday.

Where did Wednesday leave things?

Chase hired Monet and agreed to move back into the mansion to protect his custody of Phoebe. Ava pointed Willow at Carly as the person who framed Nina, and the hour ended with Drew rounding a corner at the gym to find Willow and Chase together.

Curtis also got a quiet warning from another inmate to stay out of his cell after lunch. The full rundown is in our Wednesday recap, and Wednesday’s preview shows how much of it the spoilers called.

Why is Ava so angry with Sonny?

Three separate spoiler reports put it the same way: Sonny took Avery out of school for a couple of days and didn’t clear it with Ava. She confronts him, and it isn’t a polite talk.

Ava says she’ll fight him with everything she has. Nobody is saying “custody case” yet, but that line points straight at one. Honestly, after Sonny’s Pentonville admission to Ric on Wednesday, Ava’s timing couldn’t be worse for him.

What do Michael and Drew say to each other?

They sit down and put their cards on the table. Soaps.com’s weekly preview hedges that it’s “most of them.” These two can’t stand each other, and every outlet frames the meeting as strategy rather than a truce.

One report says Michael uses the secret that Willow was the one who shot Drew. Only one outlet says that, so treat it as possible rather than promised. What’s solid is that both men have reasons to go after Willow, and Drew just watched her with Chase.

What else happens on General Hospital Thursday?

Willow pushes Chase home

Willow tells Chase he should move back into the Quartermaine mansion, since it helps his case for Phoebe. It’s the same advice Monet gave him on Wednesday, coming from the one person Drew would love to catch him with.

Monet meets Tracy

Monet goes to the mansion to settle where Chase will live. Tracy objects, and Monet warns she’ll escalate. Tracy doesn’t seem rattled. Separately, several previews say Tracy finally reveals what she’s really up to.

Jordan and Justine

Jordan tells Justine she saw her kissing Sonny behind the Brown Dog. She warns her what it could cost her career as a prosecutor. Justine calls it a wake-up call. Jordan also gets a shock of her own on Thursday, though no outlet says what it is.

Alexis and Sidwell

Alexis meets someone who could bring new business to her firm. Over at Pentonville, Jenz Sidwell announces he plans to hire someone to get him out. The spoilers don’t confirm that those two scenes are the same meeting, so we won’t connect them for you.
