Ilene Kristen Predicts Bringing Delia Back To General Hospital (& Our Fingers Are Crossed)

Elsewhere in the interview, Ilene Kristen spoke to the fact that she felt Delia Ryan was underused on "General Hospital," pointing to a possible missed opportunity. "It's too bad," she admitted, "Because Delia could be causing a lot of trouble there as well. They never exploited [Ava and Delia's relationship] for what it was worth." Bad guy boss Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) recently ordered Mason to kidnap Ava so Austin would fall in line and do his bidding. He did exactly that and even testified for Cyrus so that the criminal was released early from jail due to health issues. 

On the October 17, 2023, episode, Cyrus honored his end of the deal and instructed Mason to release Ava. The frustrated henchman decided to kill her anyway, dragging the terrified woman to the edge of a cliff. Fortunately, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) showed up, and before Mason could get the drop on him, Detective Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) shot and subdued him.

Now that the threat of Mason has temporarily subsided, it would be a good time for Delia to return to Port Charles to help Ava work through the emotional turmoil she just experienced. Even though mafia don Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has been helping uncover this gang, Ava's going to require all the help she can get, and Delia's scheming could be exactly what she needs.
