General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Two Accomplices in Ric’s Murder & Body Cover-Up EXPOSED!

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Two Accomplices in Ric’s Murder & Body Cover-Up EXPOSED!

Port Charles has barely begun to absorb the shock of Ric Lansing’s murder, but now, General Hospital fans are in for an even wilder ride: Ava Jerome didn’t act alone. According to explosive new spoilers, two accomplices helped her not only eliminate Ric — but hide his body before the truth could come to light.

And now? That truth is threatening to bring all three crashing down.

💀 The Setup: Why Ric Had to Go

Ric had gotten too close to the truth about Ava’s secret operation — one that reportedly involved illegal shipments, offshore accounts, and a tangled connection to a mystery figure from her past.

He was planning to leak files to the PCPD.

Ava knew he was meeting with Kristina that night.

Ric never made it to that meeting — and now we know why.

🕵️‍♀️ Spoiler Bombshell: Ava Had Help — And Now They’re Named

1. Mason Gatlin – The Muscle

Ava’s first accomplice? None other than the shady and violent Mason, a known enforcer who’s been lurking around Port Charles with vague loyalties and a mean streak.

Mason was spotted outside Ric’s office hours before the murder.

He’s believed to have carried out the hit, under Ava’s orders.

Multiple sources say Mason moved Ric’s body to a secret warehouse Ava used during her Jerome mob days.

He may be tough — but Mason isn’t careful. And Dante’s already got him on surveillance.

2. Esme Prince – The Inside Woman

The real shocker? Esme Prince — the “reformed” troublemaker — is allegedly the second accomplice. While trying to clean up her image, she secretly went back to Ava, doing odd jobs and “repaying favors.”

Esme reportedly helped clean Ric’s office, erasing digital evidence.

She also lied to the police, claiming Ric was seen leaving town.

Her motive? Blackmail leverage from Ava, tied to past crimes she thought were buried.

Her loyalty may be fading fast, though — and a guilty conscience could force her to flip.

🧨 What Happens Next?

The walls are closing in:

Kristina, who nearly became Ava’s next target, is refusing to stay silent.

Jordan and Dante are working a parallel investigation — and they’re zeroing in on Mason.

Sonny just found out about Ava’s involvement… and he’s not handling it with grace.

Spoilers suggest a major arrest is coming in the next two episodes, but it might not be Ava who goes down first.

👀 Final Tease

A hidden recording — captured by Ric himself moments before his death — may still exist. And when it surfaces?
Everything Ava thought she covered up will come crashing down.
