General Hospital viewers were in for quite a surprise when they tuned into the November 9 episode and found a brand-new Avery Corinthos on screen!
After all, although the character has been mentioned several times, the last time Avery appeared on screen was back in early 2025.
That’s over a full year without seeing Sonny and Ava’s daughter!
However, Avery finally returned to the canvas—and this time, she was SORAS’d into a full-blown teenager. Rapid soap opera aging is nothing new in daytime television, so we figured the recast was coming eventually, but we just didn’t know when.
And now we know!
As the episode aired and viewers were officially introduced to Ayla Bullington taking over the role, fans immediately took to social media to share their first impressions. As usual with major soap recasts, the reaction came in fast—and so far, it’s been all good things!
