General Hospital spoilers: Alexis reminds Ava she's a Cassadine?
Over the years, General Hospital's Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has proven time and time again that she's one of the very few Cassadines who isn't criminally insane, she actually attempts to be a model citizen of Port Charles. Sure, Alexis has had her times when she's spiraled out of control due to her struggles with sobriety, and she's not unfamiliar with a jail cell thanks to her love for her family, but her overarching character has been one to strive to do the right thing.
Again, there are times when Alexis has been pushed to her limits to dabble in criminality. Back in the late 90s, she worked with Luke (Anthony Geary) in an attempt to kill Helena (Constance Towers), who was the true definition of an evil stepmother, as Helena killed Alexis' mother and tormented Alexis. Alexis also attempted to kill Luís Alcazar (Ted King), as he was responsible for the death of her sister, Kristina (Jaime Ray Newman). And who can forget that Alexis ran over her daughter's abusive boyfriend, Kiefer (Christian Alexander). Although the latter was an accident, she certainly didn't attempt to stop and help him after she hit him with her car.
Knowing this history, Ava (Maura West) is taking a huge gamble blackmailing Alexis over Kristina (Kate Mansi). Yes, Kristina is responsible for the car crash that nearly killed Ric (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and should face some repercussions for her actions. However, Ava using this as an opportunity to get a huge payday by trying to pressure Alexis into embezzling money from the Cassadine Estate is just wrong and could backfire in a major way. Ric even warned Ava about underestimating his ex-wife.
As viewers know, Alexis is in the process of sending Kristina off to a mental wellness facility to get some help. Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) advised her that this is likely the best shot she has at getting ahead of this situation and keeping Kristina out of prison. If Kristina is sent off to get help, that automatically erases a bit of Ava's leverage.
We should also point out that Ava is holding the vehicle in a secret location thanks to her mechanic acquaintance. With the car being evidence, if Ava were to follow through with her threat and put the police on Kristina's trail, a defense attorney could probably get the car tossed as evidence in case of a trial, arguing the chain of custody is broken, which would be a huge blow for Ava. Although she has the video of Kristina in her garage around the vehicle the night of the car crash, is that video enough?
Additionally, despite Kristina confessing about what she did to Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), we doubt he'll volunteer that info to Ava, no matter how much he pushes Kristina to come clean.
With all that being said, there's also a chance that Alexis taps into her dark Cassadine roots and devises a plan to deal with Ava. We can imagine a wild theory that sees Alexis actually frame Ava for the attempted murder of Ric and Elizabeth.
Ava already has the vehicle and the brakes were cut in the garage of her apartment. The video she has of Kristina doesn't necessarily prove that the young Corinthos cut them. Then, with the help of Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Brick (Stephen A. Smith), Alexis could establish a trail to make it appear as if Ava took out a series of life insurance policies on Ric to establish a motive for murder. Ava has been experiencing a cash flow problem recently and has been cozying up to Ric, so this scheme could work.
To be clear, as of now, we have no way of being sure of how Alexis will deal with her Ava problem. But something tells us, Ava won't get what she's hoping for.

Boost Strength and Flexibility: Try This 20-Minute Daily Yoga Flow at Home
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. One of the best things about working out from home is the fact that you don't have to hand over dollars to get your endorphins pumping. Getting a sweat on at home means you can also finish a workout in the time it might take you to commute to a class. Plus, because you're never too far away from your mat, working out from your living room might help you maintain a consistent and dedicated practice, which can help you unlock lasting physical and mental benefits. If that sounds good to you, but you're wondering where to start, this yoga flow from instructor Charlie Follows is just the thing. Designed to be completed daily, this 20-minute practice will help you build positive habits, reduce stress, and give your strength and flexibility a boost. You'll only need a yoga mat for this class, but Follows recommends having a blanket, pillow, and or bolster nearby in case you're looking for some extra support. What is this yoga flow? Follows describes this Vinyasa-style workout as a daily flow that you can use for your day-to-day practice. 'This is a little bit of everything for your day-to-day practice to help you stay consistent and do something good for your body,' she says. In yoga, a flow is where poses are linked together, one after the other, and are synchronized with your breath, in a 'flowing' sequence. For example, you might start with a downward dog, and then 'flow' into a plank pose, before ending up in a cobra pose, and then working your way back through each asana. In this 20-minute session, the flow starts with a quick warm-up by heading straight into child's pose, which gives you a chance to check in with your body, tune in with your breath, and be present. You'll then move into a table top position, and move through a figure of eight to help you mobilize your body and warm up your wrists. This workout is split into three sequences. The first will see you move through side plank, low lunge, and pyramid pose. The second sequence involves moves like a three-legged down dog, fallen star, and pigeon pose. The final sequence will see you take things a bit slower with a number of positions you'll hold for a prolonged period of time, including extended puppy pose, child's pose, and locust pose. The benefit of practising yoga daily There are many physical and mental health benefits to practicing yoga every day. For starters, rolling out your mat and getting your yoga on every day can help you stay consistent in your practice. It also ensures you're making a dent in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) daily activity guidelines for adults, which recommend that 18-65-year-olds should complete 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week, such as 30 minutes a day, five days a week. But perhaps the most notable improvement of completing yoga every day is a boost in your bendiness. For example, one pilot study found that a six-week Iyengar yoga practice lasting 90 minutes per week 'significantly' increased flexibility in moderately active females, especially in the erector spinae and hamstrings. This would only increase if practiced daily. While one study, which monitored 50 overweight middle-aged and young women doing hot yoga regularly for a year, found that this low-impact exercise could help reduce weight and body fat. A daily yoga practice could also improve wellbeing, mood, and decrease anxiety. According to research published in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine, four weeks of hatha yoga exercises three times a week has an effective role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. 'Thus, it can be used as complementary medicine,' researchers conclude. Lastly, a daily nighttime bout of yoga could also be just the thing to help you — and the rest of the family, if aged between two to five years old — catch some ZZZs. Researchers in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement discovered that a yoga routine before sleep may be 'slightly more effective than a story-based one'.

Bruce Dickinson reveals 2027 solo album plans, says Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris loves it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson hopes to release his next solo album in 2027 – and bassist Steve Harris already loves the new material. Talking exclusively to Metal Hammer, Dickinson, who released his latest solo album The Mandrake Project in 2024, reveals that solo LP number eight will be out in two years' time, after Maiden have played their as-yet-unannounced live dates in 2026. The vocalist tells us: 'We've got, like, 18 tracks demoed, which I did in April. We're going to do a new album – not for next year, obviously. We're busy next year with other things, obviously Maiden things and everything, which is great, but '27 that's when it will come out.' The singer goes on to describe what we can expect from his next release, teasing 'bone-crushingly heavy' songs as well as moments that 'are just like tugging at the heartstrings'. 'If it's heavy, it's heavy,' he adds, 'but if it just happens to be acoustic, it's acoustic. That's the deal, you know? 'It's whatever the song dictates, whatever the story is you're trying to tell, but it's really exciting. I'm so stoked about these tracks. I played the demos to a few people in the record label and stuff, and everybody is like, 'Wow!'' Another fan of the upcoming music is Harris, who founded Maiden in 1975 and has served as the band's de facto leader and primary songwriter ever since. According to Dickinson, the bassist just so happened to overhear some of the new stuff, catching it as the singer played it for some of Maiden's team in the next room over. 'I was playing the demos to the team, the management, because I've got it on a little tablet,' Dickinson remembers. 'So I said, 'You want to hear some new stuff?' 'I didn't realise Steve was having his physio in the room next door. And he came out and he went, 'Is that your new stuff?' I went, 'Yeah.' He goes, 'That's the best stuff you've ever done. That's the best stuff I've ever heard from you!' I went, 'Well, thank you very much, boss!'' The three-year wait for new Dickinson music will be nothing compared to the gestation period for The Mandrake Project, which was released 19 years after its predecessor Tyranny Of Souls. The singer explained the wait during an interview with Classic Rock. 'It's been on the boil since 2014,' he said. 'Then I got diagnosed with throat cancer [in late 2014], then we had fucking Covid, so there were two years when I couldn't go to the USA. So by the time I reconvened with [guitarist and producer] Roy Z, everything had moved on.' Last week, Dickinson reissued his second solo album Balls To Picasso, originally released in 1994, with the new title More Balls To Picasso. The reissue features remixed overhauls of the original recordings, as well as live-in-the-studio takes of the songs God Of War and Shoot All The Clowns. Listen below. Meanwhile, Maiden recently wrapped up the European leg of their 50th-anniversary tour, Run For Your Lives. The trek is expected to extend into 2026, but no upcoming dates have been revealed at time of publication. Solve the daily Crossword

Avengers: Doomsday's 'leaked' X-Men design for Nightcrawler is actually just fan art
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We'll have to wait a bit longer to see the X-Men design for Avengers: Doomsday, because it turns out that a previously 'leaked' image is just fanart. The original artwork was shared by Alan Cumming himself, who plays Nightcrawler and is returning for the next Avengers movie. It appeared to show a picture of his character in costume, but, as one person has debunked on Twitter, the image is actually an edit made by a fan and shared online last year. "Actually, what's great about it, it was four-and-a-half to five hours before, and now it was 90 minutes," Cumming has previously said of his Nightcrawler look. "Before, all the tattoos were done by hand because they hadn't decided on them before we started filming and now there are all these little things that stick on – it's a game changer." Cumming isn't the only X-Men actor returning for Avengers: Doomsday, either. He'll be joined by Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Kelsey Grammer, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden, as revealed in that bumper sized casting announcement. "[I'm] not quite sure [if Mystique's scenes have all been filmed]. They haven't finished writing it." Romijn said back in July. "They keep everything close to the vest themselves in an effort to keep everything under wraps." That tracks with what Kevin Feige has said about the movie, too: "There's plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well."
