GENERAL HOSPITAL: Olivia Jerome is Reportedly ‘Attacked and Killed’ in Pentonville
On Thursday’s February 16th episode of General Hospital, the name of Olivia Jerome was brought back into the story, and this time revealing that she apparently was attacked and killed while serving time in Pentonville.
In story while at the PCPD, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) gets a call about a prisoner, and later, Jordan (Tanisha Harper) tells Anna (Finola Hughes) that Olivia Jerome is dead.
It was back in 2017, when viewers last saw Olivia played by Tonja Walker in action in Port Charles, and causing so much trouble that eventually she wound up in jail.

Olivia ordered the hit on the car that exploded and killed Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) son, Morgan Corinthos (played by Bryan Craig).
In addition, in a bizarre experiment, Olivia kidnapped Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) and Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen) and held them hostage in a lab in the basement of General Hospital in hopes of using Griffin to resurrect his father, and the “love” of Olivia’s life, Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan).

Eventually, Olivia was dragged off to an asylum and eventually prison following her court case. Now, apparently she is a-goner.
Now let us know, do you really believe Olivia is dead? Is she/was she involved in the arms deals and the shootings in Port Charles? Do you want to see Tonja Walker reprise her GH role? Comment below.
Back around 1990 – Olivia Jerome (or St. John as she originally went by) was mesmerizing. Those big eyes and hair. She lusted after Duke but seemed to find happiness with Colton (Lucy’s cousin) before Original Recipe Julian appeared to have killed her. Tonja Walker eventually wound in Llanview as Alex Olanov – another dynamic character.
When she returned from the dead, gone was any redemption she had with Colton and in its place was a cartoonish villain with Walker just a little over the top.
Saddened that they’re offing the character off camera. Was this one of Chris & Dan’s final decisions? We didn’t get enough chances to see Ava and Olivia interact.
As for Anna – most of her major enemies are now deceased (Faison, Peter, Victor Cassadine and now Olivia Jerome). Where’s Grant Putnam when we need him?
I’ll have to admit I was surprised to see Olivia show up in my office today. She was not on my Beelze-bingo card for “Likely Arrivals in Hell for February 2024”.
Last week, NuJagger claimed that the attempted hits on Sonny were part of a larger plan to take out at least 5 “major mob bosses”.
Well… OK… once upon a time Olivia Jerome might have fit that description, but last time I checked, the Jerome Crime Family was pretty much extinct. Julian has been down here for three years, Ava has been out of the business for a while now, and Olivia herself was both locked up in prison and batshit crazy, so I doubt she was capable of doing much.
Now my theory is that Lorenzo Alcazar has been the one targeting Sonny (and running Pikeman) but I don’t recall any sort of interaction between either of the Alcazar brothers and any variation of the Jerome family. In fact the Jeromes basically didn’t exist between the time Julian died in a shootout with Jonathan Paget (who he believed to be a surgically reconstructed Duke Lavery) and the day that ReRon invented Ava Jerome out of thin air as a sister that was never heard of before. So in other words, I don’t think the Alcazars & Jeromes were ever in Port Charles at the same time. So I will be eternally damned if I can think of why Lorenzo would bother killing crazy Olivia in Pentonville.
Maybe she got in a fight with Heather? Some sort of competition to see who was the craziest?
I wish they hadn’t killed her.
Sad and bad move ! Tonja Walker is always a delight to watch.
Totally and so pretty
Maybe she was the boss Austin and Mason were referring to. They always referred to their boss as “she” until they started talking about Cyrus.
Except the boss they referred to was always spoken of as a family member. And Austin hooked up with Ava, which he wouldn’t have done if he were a Jerome himself.
Cyrus did make some vague reference to Olivia Jerome while he was incarcerated in Pentonville. My Fuzzy Devil Memory isn’t recalling the context of his reference, but I don’t remember anything that implied she was involved with the “Pawtuck Mafia”.
Still say the female boss there was originally going to be Faith Roscoe and for whatever reason they pulled the plug on that at the 11th hour, threw Austin & Mason into Cyrus’ orbit, and forgot all about their boss’s previous pronouns.
And now that Austin is dead, Mason is long gone, and Cyrus is pretending to be “born again”, I doubt there will be any sort of “Pawtuck Mafia” connection to Olivia Jerome’s murder.
Probably more likely that Heather went slightly more nuts than usual and took her out.
So I assume the person that killed Olivia is also the person that killed Austin and is gunning for Sonny.
No I’m sure it’s just a ploy she is probably alive somwwhere
I think you may be on to something. Watching Friday’s GH and Anna Devane wants to see Olivia’s body ?? My guess is, it may not actually be Olivia they found dead in the woods. I guess we’ll have to wait and see ….. Stay tuned …..
Anna already viewed the body and confirmed it was Olivia Jerome.
You are the only one that seems to have it right unless Anna is not telling the truth and it really wasn’t Olivia, but what would be her motive and it’s not like there aren’t other people that have or will see the body. Also why wouldn’t Ava, as next of kiin, be called to identify the body also I found it odd that Alexis was the one to notify Ava.
Technically, you’re correct that Ava was the next of kin, so she probably should have been notified directly by the “authorities”. But of course the reality is that Ava barely knew her sister. They didn’t grow up together at all, and Ava didn’t even exist during the original Jerome Crime Family stories in the late 80s/early 90s. So in a very real sense, Anna knew Olivia much better than her own sister did, and had more history with Olivia than anybody else who is still alive in Port Charles.
Alexis probably just thought she would tell Ava out of “courtesy”, because she used to be very close to Julian, and he would have wanted Ava to hear it from somebody other than the media. Which is ironic.. since Alexis IS the media.
Since Ron and his connections are no longer writing the show, we won’t have it suddenly revealed that it was not Olivia but Alex Olanov from Llanview who is the spitting image of Miss Jerome. Her children Kim and Cutter – who are dead ringers for BLQ and Cody have to identify the body.
Luckily, we’re spared that on screen but would’ve been a hoot for OLTL fans.
Makes sense to me!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
