<P> Following the revelation that Ava had in fact murdered Connie Falconeri ( Kelly Sullivan ) , head writer Ron Carlivati opened up to Michael Logan of TV Guide about the revelation , and whether or not he felt he had turned Ava into a cold - blooded killer . Carlivati stated , `` Of course , we were nervous ! Especially the more we and the audience got invested in Ava . It was always my plan to have her be the killer but there was still the chance that we would change our minds and not write it that way . As the character started growing in popularity , ( executive producer ) Frank Valentini said , `` You know , Connie 's killer does n't have to be Ava . Maybe something else happened . Maybe someone else came in and killed Connie . '' There was certainly that temptation to protect Ava but , in the end , we decided it was a stronger move to stick with our original idea and see where that could take us down the line : What will happen between Ava and Sonny if and when he finds out she killed Connie ? What will he do ? She will have nowhere to run ! '' </P>
