The timing of General Hospital’s trial for Ava (Maura West) is really unfortunate, because Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and her daughters are still struggling with Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) death and their grief is very raw. It’s not really surprising that Alexis lost her cool in the courtroom.
Ric (Rick Hearst) was probably counting on that. It made it easier for him to make Kristina (Kate Mansi) look unstable in front of the jury because her mother also looked unstable. But when Ric confronted Alexis in the empty courtroom after the jury had gone into deliberations he was absolutely right to call her out for favoring Kristina.
