At the beginning of Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) business transaction of a marriage, it was becoming quite obvious that Nikolas was planning to set Ava up for failure. Although these two have not married for love, under their terms of agreement, Nikolas proposed that if Ava were to cheat on him then she would lose everything in regard to the Cassadine fortune. In return, if Nik were to cheat on Ava, she would get 90% of the fortune and Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) would get 10%.
Nikolas is planning to use Ava’s friendship with Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) to try and set those two up for temptation as Franco paints a portrait of Ava. Nikolas may think he’s being slick with his scheme, but little does he know, his wife is up to the same shenanigans.
Ava knows that Nikolas and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) have a long history, including an affair while she was married to his brother Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Spencer). General Hospital spoilers indicate that Ava will use this information to her advantage and try to push Liz and Nik together so that Nikolas is the one who ends up breaking their pre-nup agreement.
Since both Nik and Ava are up to the same tricks, who will give in to temptation first?
