She is due on July 21st.

Hmmm could we have a storyline where Ava is knocked up ala Bill?

I wish Michelle a healthy birth when July comes

[Gray Bunny]

I hope her maternity leave is permanent.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but there's just no point to the character and the actress brings nothing to the role.

Tell us how you REALLY feel on that subject.

Congratulations to Michelle and her longtime boyfriend... regardless of how people feel about Ava, this is good news.

Ava was great until they made her into a (generic) bitch.

[Noel]

See!? I told you she was pregnant in real life! And it will be written for her character too!

Crap! I was going to write more, but I realized that I was in the discussion forum and not the spoilers! LOL!

[sungrey]

That's one thing I will squarely blame Kreizman for doing. She and Coop barely had any scenes together before DK shook up the chess board and sent Ava in Alan Michael's direction. That story didn't work. So he went the "hell hath no fury" route and it's laid an egg for the most part.

I guess the rumors that she was leaving, Ava was being killed off and Olivia would get the heart were false.

[Noel]

Oh, but never say never my friend! This heart story with Olivia may last on till Ava has some kind of accident and the pre-mature baby survives leaving Olivia with Ava's heart and another gift for Oivia to remember Ava by.
