5 Reasons GH's Drew Might Regret Recording Ava

Alliances are falling apart on General Hospital's as Jack Brennan's body has finally been found. While the PCPD originally suspected Carly Spencer and Valentin Cassadine initially, they were soon let go as new evidence cropped up. Meanwhile, a panicking Ava threatened to take Drew down if she was caught. Ava also hinted that she may place the blame of Jack's death on Drew. However, Drew secretly recorded Ava's plans and approached Monet Mitchell for advice. Whether he takes up Monet's suggestion or not, Drew may end up regretting recording Ava.

5 Ways Drew's Recording Ava May Land Him in Trouble

1) The recording is self-incriminating

Ava Jerome (Maura West) panicked after learning that the initial suspects in Jack Brennan's (Chris McKenna) death were released by the PCPD. As a reaction, she met with her partner in crime, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), and threatened to take him down along with her if she got caught. She even warned that she would cook up stories to implicate Drew for Jack's death.

As Drew recorded Ava and played it for his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard), he had to admit to his crimes. As Monet pointed out, much of it was self-incriminating, which would eventually lead Drew into prison. While Monet was ready to suggest a solution to save Drew, the latter realized that Ava's recording would be of no help to save him.

2) Using recorded tape may antagonize Ava

Drew had approached Ava with an offer of partnership knowing that they both wanted to ruin Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), their mutual enemy. As a result, Ava accepted Drew's request to help him out by drugging Jack. This made them allies and partners, so a worried Ava keeps warning Drew to keep his side of the arrangement.

So far, Ava is unaware of the fact that Drew recorded her. If Drew tries to use it for the authorities or admits to having taped Ava's threats, it may annoy her immensely. Drew must remember that Ava belongs to the dreaded criminal family of the Jeromes and may be quite vicious when she wants to be. If Ava grasps that Drew wanted to throw her under the bus by secretly recording her, she may retaliate in a nasty way.

3) Ava is already considering her own escape route

While Drew may think he was smart to record Ava's threats and get a step ahead of her by playing it out to his lawyer, he is unaware of the steps Ava is taking. As Ava is aware that she may be the first line of investigation as she was the last person seen with Jack and she spiked his drink, she is worried about her fate.

For the right counsel, Ava met with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and informed her about the looming legal issue. She also admitted to having drugged Jack on Drew's behest. Although Alexis is now in Ava's corner, Ava already tried to lawyer up and save herself while leaving Drew to fend for himself. As such, there seems to be no loyalty in this partnership and the cracks in their alliance are already growing. Incidentally, Alexis has already given an incriminating statement against Drew, which will likely lead to investigations on him.

4) Any marriage would stand on shaky grounds

While neither Ava nor Drew would hesitate to implicate their partner, Drew recorded Ava's threats as leverage over her. However, as his lawyer pointed out, if released, the recording would not secure Drew's own freedom. As a second option, Drew considered silencing Ava forever. However, Monet warned him against any further crime.

So, she suggested that Drew marry Ava to keep them from having to testify against each other. However, the cops are gathering other evidence and Joe adn Molly are trying to stop the wedding.

5) It may affect Scout and Avery in the worst possible way

Whatever moral faults Drew and Ava have, both are loving and protective parents. So far, Drew's daughter, Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski), has only seen her father interact with Ava. Ava's daughter, Avery Corinthos (Ayla Bullington), is unaware of her mother's actions. However, both teenagers are going through their own problems. While Scout is busy hiding her budding romance, Avery is disturbed by the accusations against her father.

In such a situation, if they discover the recording and learn about their individual parents' actions, the girls would be shattered. This may destroy Scout's relationship with her father and Avery's with her mother. Drew may want to keep the recording away from his daughter for his own good.
