General Hospital Spoilers – Maura West Speaks Out

West made her thoughts known during a General Hospital Fantasy Events Zoom. Her former As the World Turns co-star Michael Park (ex-Jack Snyder) was on as well and a fan asked her about Leo’s autism story. The implication was whether the show will bring Ava into the plot at some point.

West said, “I don’t know. I hope so. I think the tricky thing with her being his aunt…she’s not anymore, right? Because he was adopted by…[Ned Quartermaine] Wally Kurth adopted him so nicely…and Wally Kurth is a hero of mine for many reasons, but yes, I love working with young actors, and that young actor is a doll.”

West said, “I love working with young people. And yeah, I think the autism story is timely. I would like to go further into that. The answer is yes to that. I don’t know if that would happen. I don’t know if they’ll use Ava to focus on that. It’d be nice if they did. I would think it would be more Olivia and Wally.”
