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!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
