General Hospital Introduces NEW Avery Corinthos! Meet Ayla Bullington as She Makes Her Port Charles Debut
There's a new face in Port Charles, and General Hospital fans are about to meet her!
Ayla Bullington officially steps into the role of Avery Jerome-Corinthos on Monday, November 9, 2026, bringing fresh energy to the daughter of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Ava Jerome (Maura West).
According to TV Insider, the young actress is thrilled to join the long-running ABC soap, but her first days on set were anything but easy. Between emotional scenes, legendary costars, and new friendships, Bullington is already getting a crash course in daytime drama!
Meet Ayla Bullington: General Hospital's New Avery
The Franklin, Tennessee, native may be new to Port Charles, but she's no stranger to acting.
Her previous credits include:
Robbery at the Rockvale Theatre
Where The Hell Is Anna?
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: Country Pie
The Wildman at Shaggy Creek
Now, Bullington is taking on one of daytime television's recognizable young characters, and she's ready for the challenge.
From a Self-Tape to General Hospital Stardom!
Bullington's journey to General Hospital began in August 2026 when she submitted a self-taped audition.
After her initial audition, she received an invitation for an in-person callback.
The callback gave her the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles for the first time.
Rather than worrying about the outcome, she tried to remain relaxed and hopeful.
The big news finally arrived when her mother picked her up from school and encouraged her to turn on her phone.
Moments later, Bullington learned she'd landed the role of Avery!
What started as an ordinary school day turned into a life-changing moment for the young actress.

Avery Is Already Caught in Corinthos Family Drama!
If Bullington expected a gentle introduction to daytime television, General Hospital had other plans!
Her early scenes involve two major Port Charles players:
Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos): Avery's father, whose complicated family relationships frequently create emotional turmoil.
Eden McCoy (Josslyn Jacks): Avery's older half-sister, who finds herself in a heated confrontation with Sonny.
Avery overhears an argument between Sonny and Josslyn, placing the young girl directly in the middle of some intense family drama.
Bullington admitted to TV Insider that performing emotionally demanding scenes involving crying and shouting was a new experience.
Instead of being intimidated, she viewed the challenge as an opportunity to develop her acting skills and explore a character unlike anyone she'd played before.
And with Maurice Benard as one of her scene partners, she's certainly learning from an experienced daytime performer!
Making Friends Behind the Scenes
Fortunately, Bullington isn't navigating Port Charles alone.
She's already forming friendships with other younger members of the General Hospital cast.
Kayden Brenna Tokarski (Scout Cain): Bullington has enjoyed getting to know the actress behind Scout.
Asher Antonyzyn (Danny Morgan): The young actor has also helped welcome her into the General Hospital family.
A Supportive Environment: Bullington credits her young costars with helping her understand how things work behind the scenes.
It's always exciting to see the next generation of General Hospital stars supporting one another!
Ayla Bullington Can't Wait to See Herself on TV!
With her debut arriving November 9, Bullington is still processing how quickly her life has changed.
She's excited to watch her first episode and experience the moment when she finally sees herself as Avery Corinthos on television.
For a young actress who was attending school when she received the exciting casting news, it's quite a remarkable milestone.
And for General Hospital viewers, this is the beginning of a new chapter for Avery.
