The Ava Factor

While we are being interrupted by government buzzzzzzzzness.... I thought I'd take the time to write about something I failed to do in the blog OR comment on in the podcast.

It's that of Ava thinking she's seeing things --and it was bad enough she checked herself into a psyche center.  Who knows she's REALLY not having a psychotic break? 

*Nikolas--who says he doesn't care because of her part in his "death" (thin at best)
*Jax- who went to visit her and still didn't say anything
*Carly- who was locked up herself by Nelle who totally lied 
*Hayden-who I guess I can give a pass because she doesn't know Ava well? 

All in all though, here's a woman who's lost her child to a murderer, that was on the brink anyway and who thought she saw (and hugged) a dead man. People convinced her that couldn't be true so she's in bed, taking drugs and thinking she's insane. 
Now, yes, Ava's done terrible, awful things in the past. We've all seen it. Some may even say she deserves it.
I disagree. It's one thing if she's being punished honestly for her sins but a whole other one if she's purposely being kept in the dark about something that could toy with her sanity. 


My hope? When Sonny finds out he HITS THE DAMN ROOF. Why? Not so much that Carly was trying to protect Jax but because he knows what mental illness is and that Ava's was used to keep that secret. He out of anyone knows the consequences of messing with the mind, and Carly and Jax are culpable to a "T" in this. Laura is also going to be pissed because of this as well.  Ava would have every right to sue them in civil court for emotional distress. 

I just thought this was worth a mention because it is a factor. Everyone is concerned about protecting Nikolas' "family" because of that stupid codicil but there's already one person that's paid dearly. 

I believe GH will be interrupted today-- which means we will probably have to watch online. ABC STILL hasn't given any kind of press release about the show yet. (and it's 12:30pm/est)

  1. I think Ava messed with Morgan's sanity, right? So Sonny might not be so compassionate. Also, I have never been in a mental health hospital but I don't think they keep you sedated 24/7 as a pathway to recovery.

    2. Some of my patients have been in the psych ward, and the basic goal is to get you "stable on meds." There is no healing going on in those places. Maybe a place like Shadybrook, though, would offer intensive counseling and/or group therapy.

  2. I agree. Awareness of Nik's return could have little to do with finding the dumb codicil. Maybe even a perfect distraction. Ava should have been told already. It is abusive not to and I hope she takes revenge like only Ava can. She is a goddess.
    Darn hearings. Blahblahblah.

    1. Oh, my you sound like Ryan, LOL! I don't like what they are doing to her, but she killed Connie, and drove Morgan crazy, so it would be hard to sympathize with her. But we always do, because she is such a complicated character and a great actress.
