As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself in the position of explaining that, much like Laura Collins (Genie Francis), I too might choose to abstain from intervening in another’s personal matters, particularly when those matters involve a longstanding feud such as Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). This decision can certainly leave one feeling frustrated, especially after an emotionally charged encounter like the one Ava had with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) regarding her living situation. In a moment of tension, Ric may have subtly suggested that moving to a more favorable apartment in the eyes of the judge could be beneficial for Ava’s custody case. This advice led to an intense conversation between the two, culminating in a passionate display of emotion that, at its core, might have been born out of their shared sense of urgency and determination to protect Ava’s interests.
