Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

I really love RC but I think he got lazy with this one. While it is obvious that the actors have chemistry, there was nothing in the story that would make me believe that Carly would sleep with AJ! She never enjoyed it even when she was married to him and did what she could to avoid it. They hate each other and have for years. Now with AJ, he was hurt, angry and in self destruct mode, but Carly had no excuse. At the very least Carly should have been shown to be all upset about something? She was in her right mind (well as right as Carly gets). Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy writing.
yeah, it seems haphazard….. OK… Carly’s being Carly.
she’s mia in story line….. what with no Johnny and no Todd.
this may be better than listening to her shriek about her coming of age… Michael…. geez! so he’s in pain?.. over the lie Brenda told Mamma….
this didn’t go any where either… listening to her go on and on about Michael and Brenda.
I knew she was going to tell Sonny…. he ignored Carly…. LOL… AJ was all excited.
I believe all the writing is sloppy…The new LuLu …She’s a great actress,but not LuLu,What happened? It came on fire then dies,no plots…
Just a bunch of mumble jumble…Since when would Carly sleep with Aj? What happened with Robin,Fason,That whole story?
General Hospital was never a draggy soap,
There are no story lines…Thats how the same writer lost his other show 🙁
I have always maintain that no soap could keep up that pace of story telling GH had going leading up to their 50th Anniversary. If it seems to be dragging now, it only because they were plowing through stories so quickly that now they are doing what other soaps are doing- it seems slows. I think you guys give the writer a break– not every writer is going to hit out of the park every time. Right now most soaps have filler- or building up for sweeps week and then all soaps will be rev up.
Ron C. was not fired from OLTL. It was cancelled. And when it was cancelled the estimated were very good. In fact higher than GH at the time. Since he and Frank V. came to GH the ratings are really good. He is definitely better than the last writer!!!!
I really enjoyed it! Very unexpected, which I appreciate in storytelling however I think it was true to the characters and the evolution of their complicated relationship and history. they made a child together you know that left some sexual tension between them. Just the fact that they have reproduced together would naturally leave a sexual interest in the back of their minds. Plus I think when A.J. Took care of Carly a few months ago when she had her drunken breakdown that it was a turning point for them and it built a trust and forged a level of mutual reflect. I thought it made complete sense plus I laughed my ass off. Don’t be so critical and enjoy the ride people. Good job RC!
Nice reply Mathew…i agree! Its the best soap now period!
I have to agree with you…for the most part. It was certainly unexpected and I really like the chemistry between Laura Wright and Sean Kanan. I thought it was a little sudden and out of the blue but I didn’t hate it. You are so right that the night that AJ helped Carly with her drunken mess and hair cutting was a turning point for their relationship and it continued with Carly’s obvious concern for AJ this week during his panic attack. The only thing that I am not sure about with this story is the effect it is going to have on AJ and Elizabeth, who I am absolutely loving. I think the two of them could be amazing together and would hate to see AJ’s stupid choice with Carly screw that up. It definitely has me hooked!
I agree that there is no reason why Carly would have sex with AJ! I couldn’t believe she was doing it without be drunk or drugged or held at gunpoint. Initially I thought it was a fantasy…
I was disgusted by them to be honest. It didn’t make any sense for them to sleep together. The setup seemed contrived. The whole AJ/Liz/Nik/Carly storyline is a mess. I am sick of the triangles and quads on GH. It’s really starting to get ridiculous.
Ha! I loved it. These two are amusing together and Sean Kanan & Laura Wright have awesome chemistry… but I still want Roger Howarth back!
I agree.. but want Roger back as Todd.. not too excited about them coming back as new characters…
I agree with that. I wish Roger was Todd too! Not sure what is going to happen there…
I agree!! I loved it…. I cracked up when they were arguing, I like when they argue I can’t stop laughing and they stuff they say to each other, and I think it’s funny that they slept together, they say there is a fine line between love and hate, lol so I think they were caught up in the heat of the moment…. but I do not want them as a couple…. can’t wait for Roger to come back I like her with him, whoever he will play!
They are pretty damn funny together, but you’re right, I don’t necessarily want them as a couple. I swear Laura Wright has chemistry with everyone; she is so versatile as an actress!! AJ brings out her worst and it’s fun to watch though but I want Roger back… he’s been missed so much. Is it me or has the show been a bit slowwwer without Roger on the canvas. Can’t wait for his return!
Ces, i agree plus i liked how Monica was caught in the middle of it all!
yeah, when Elizabeth knocked on the door, the look on Monica’s face
was priceless. haha
that was great Monica going on and on!!! I swear I laughed through that whole thing…… you are right about Laura, I do just love her with everyone!! I read online then we should see Roger some where around the week of May 20th…. I hope so…. can’t wait to see him!
it was bound to happen –
that being said…. Carly really hasn’t had a story… not since Johnny… and MIA Todd.
so… this does add melodrama….
I’d prefer the triangle of AJ/Nicholas/Elizabeth.
I hope Carly gets pregnant … She needs another baby.. she’s a good mama!.
me that
I don’t really see Carly becoming a part of the triangle/quad. I think she could serve as a spoiler for the AJ/Elizabeth romance by Elizabeth being hurt over AJ sleeping with Carly. Who know how long Nikolas is going to stick around. Maybe I am just hoping AJ and Elizabeth will end up together because I love them together.
I liked it.. I do like them together …
sheeekkk !1
the kissing was smacky loud, yuk..
SMACK SMACK slobber..
As irritating as when your glass is empty and ya keep sucking on the straw..
lol…
Reall passion… lots of noise
It got me feelin nasty and I’m not complaining.
I like these two together, they have chemistry and do great bickering and humor. But the scene felt off to me. Something was missing…
perhaps chemistry? lol.
My reaction to Carly and A.J. having sex….
BARF !!! PUKE !!!! UGHH ..
I hope I never have to see that again, never ..
FF at the ready!
I agree. Surely Carly would have grown from the last time she had sex with AJ. This was a real setback for the character. Poor writing. They may have chemistry, but I would hope Carly would have some self control. And in his mother’s house??? come on!
Not sure why the writers chose to go there after carefully rebuilding AJ, it was a giant step back to the previous regime’s character assassination. Thanks to Sean Kanan, I’ll buy that AJ was hurt and self-destructive, but it still stretches credibility. And what was Carly’s reason? The whole thing looked thrown together without any real motivation for either of them, obviously a plot point to provide contrived angst for the AJ/Elizabeth story that had been developing so beautifully and naturally. Of course, Carly will wind up pregnant, another plot point so obviously set up in the hospital scene when Carly threatened AJ with the scissors. Sloppy writing.
I agree 100% . Well said.
Lori, a beautiful love story? Really???? When A.J. set up Sonny and Michael at the boxing ring, sent Duke to steal Tracys jar of relish, this is the man in ur beautiful love story? Do you hate Elizabeth that much? That you would pair her with this sleavy, lying, man? Really????
I thought it was way hotter than the fantasy scene between Nicholas and Elizabeth.. i would never want AJ and Carly to actually become a couple. It’s their hate/hate relationship that keeps them interesting together.
that wasn’t a fantasy scene between liz and nicholas, he was remembering when they actually hooked up. and had their brief affair.
Keep in mind that Sonny and Carly started as hate sex. That said, Carly and AJ were actually friends at first before she decided she wanted to get back with Tony, when that did not work she turned to Jason, and then Sonny. Carly finally seemed to have a somewhat stable relationship with Jax. I used to like AJ and Carly before it got really hateful. I liked AJ and Hannah. They were good, but that story fell flat too. Hey, I hope if AJ and Carly decided their rumps are fun, power to them, and might just be fun to watch too? Time shall tell.
i love it and hate it at the same time, i hate that a j cheated on liz, but i love this group of actors in same storyline, i just hope that liz isn’t made to look like an idiot and when she does finds out, really gives carly the bitch slap she deserves.
That was an interesting twist. Carly will probably end up pregnant now. lol
I really hope that doesn’t happen.
While I was really looking forward to an AJ/LIz pairing…I LOVE the chemistry between Laura Wright and Sean Kanan. They are hilarious together…and I think they’re in a love/hate thing…though not to that extreme. I don’t think there’s any love…not at this point…but they’ve been thrown together since his return. He pretended to be her lover when she wanted to make Todd jealous…she helped him out when he had his panic attack…they’ve somehow managed to confide and co-exist thru their disdain. Interesting to see where this will go…and where Liz and Nick fit in to the picture. We have no idea how long Tyler Christopher is staying this time so once again…where would that leave LIz…interesting/fun storyline!
Post Nurses Ball the new plot lines have some poor writing. I guess an AJ /Carly pairing is mean tto be comic relief. ??? But it appeared to be unprotected sex and give me a break- can’t the women of this show ever learn about birth control and protection-.
And i have to say, though it’s not on topic, the new Lulu is not a good actress, and is not at all cute.
A.J. and sex in the same sentence is enough to make me gag! He is such a liar, bkackmailing, thief. Why would anyone want him with Elizabeth? Doesnt she deserve better? He will never change, why do fans think he will?
It totally grossed me out to be honest although the scenes afterwards were funny. Carly & AJ just have a sleazy vibe to me not a forbidden hot one also, I really liked Liz & AJ and this pretty much put an end to that for me but I also love Liz & Nik so if it ends up giving me Nik & Liz together, it will be worth it! I did think it was poorly set up though especially Carly’s motivation since she didn’t seem to have any.
While I have to reluctantly admit that Laura and Sean have made Carly and AJ have crazy chemistry and lots of it… that is just good acting. I did not like seeing Carly and AJ together without there having been something like being drunk to explain it. Yes… I know it was anger and some past history but… She never should have let it get beyond the initial clutch and kiss! I hope we all can forget it ever happened… but we know that will not happen. I thought the evolved Carly would never do that without being drunk or drugged or held at gunpoint. Can’t wait for RH to get back into Carly’s orbit! That’s only because we can’t seem to have Jax in her orbit.
Being new to the show I don’t have the problem as other posters with this turned of events. I do know there is a fine line between anger and passion, so I can see how two people who hate each other can end up having sex– and that is all it was sex– not love. I don’t see them being a couple–
And this is a storyline? Y&R has been doing the same thing meaningless sex if this continues on all remaining 4 soaps you will be on the chopping block.
I personally loved the scenes between Carly and AJ. As one poster mentioned, at one point Carly and AJ were friends before she got pregnant with Michael and tried to hide the fact that he was the father by drugging him and making him think he’d had a relapse. Yes, AJ has done some horrible things but so has Sonny. For some reason, people don’t seem to have a problem with Sonny’s misogyny, but AJ gets dumped on repeatedly not just by the characters on the show but by fans. When AJ kidnapped Michael, Morgan and Kristina, he was desperate. After years of being treated like dirty by his own family, Sonny, Jason, Carly, he finally snapped and wanted revenge. Rick locked Carly in the panic room, gave Elizabeth birth control pills behind her back, and tried to steal Carly’s baby, yet he went on to marry Elizabeth yet again, and Alexis. There seems to be a double standard at the way people judge the male character’s behavior on this show.
I enjoyed it. It was funny, amusing and so unexpected. Isn’t that what soaps are about? Anything unimaginable and unexplainable can happen. It’s an escape from every day. I’ve been really loving GH lately. Glad to see them bring back all the old characters especially Lucy. Hope she stays on. I forgotten how utterly delightful and zany her character can be. Good for Carly– she got hers.
I really wanted to vomit. I can not stand AJ. I sort of felt sorry for him when he first came back. But his reation to Michael faux sleeping with Brenda. That totally screamed sleaze! It was a stupid plot twist. Compiled with AJ/Carly sex. It seems like the writers are just throwing shit out to see what gives a reaction. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. I’ve been watching this show for over 30yrs! I remember history well. SO the whole thing was just Stoopid! I can really see Liz and Nic hooking up. But after Liz walked away from Nic to chase after AJ then that makes them perfect for each other. If she chooses to stay then she deseves it! Idiot writers should know its not a move Carly would make, she has done some pretty wild things in the past. But this is not one of them!
I was surprised by this! But pleasantly. I think the fallout is funny and I will enjoy watching them both squirm.
LOVE it!!!! The thin line between love and hate is present. I like the humor it brings to the show too. Now out of nowhere I’m hoping it continues and we see a relationship with Carly and AJ. Thanks writers!
Hilarious stuff with Monica Quartermaine. Wish she was on the show full-time.
Those two, very funny, as was the fire control scramble.
Love it love both AJ and Carly .I like AJ with Liz but this was a hoot.Next Carly will wind up pregnant again lol
not surprised… but… yuck!
I love the chemistry between them !!
They are way better than her and Todd
That just gross !! but he is rocking OLTL
And needs to stay with Blair !! Period
Glad to have gotten a break from OLTL
For a while !!! Go Carly & AJ !!
Liz is to boring for him lol
The scene was oh so predictable. Also sends absolutely the wrong message. Maybe the writers/TPTB think this is what fans want–that it is “soapy” and entertaining. I have been a fan of GH since its inception, and I am not amused. Today, unfortunately, GH characters have SEX, but where is the romance, the LOVE? This state of affairs is not unique to daytime drama; it happens in the movies, etc., also. Too bad–and really sad. And the nadir was the next day when Carly was rubbing the sanitizer on herself. Distasteful and playing to the lowest instincts. Like those “frat” movies. Women deserve better.
AJ and Carly had sex and slept together and they both belong together AJ still love Carly they both had long cmestry together and they both have son Michael need to be there for him.
