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.
The Young and the Restless enduring favorite and two-time Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott) is set to release her memoir!
Kensington Publishing has revealed on their website that Walton’s book The Young and the Rest of Us is now available for pre-order while listing an April 27, 2027 release date. In addition, in June of 2027, Walton will mark her 40th anniversary with The Young and the Restless and her debut as Jill.

CAKE FIGHTS AND CORPORATE INTRIGUE
The book description for The Young and the Rest of Us adds, “In June 1987, Jess Walton walked through the artists’ entrance at CBS for her first day on The Young and the Restless,where she had just been hired to play the recast role of Jill Abbott. Two Emmy awards, four decades, and countless onscreen affairs, marriages, corporate takeovers, and cake fights later, she’s a beloved icon with an astonishing tale to tell.”
“In her refreshingly candid style, Jess shares her journey as a young actress from Toronto theaters to Los Angeles, where she found herself at the center of a Laurel Canyon circle that included the likes of Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. Landing a Universal contract and a steady stream of guest starring roles, Jess embraced everything 1970s L.A. had to offer—including Hollywood parties fueled by limitless booze and drugs, and trysts with stars. She recounts with candor and gratitude the surprising path that eventually led her to sobriety, true love—and ultimately, to fictional Genoa City, Wisconsin, and the role of a lifetime.”
“Brimming with behind-the-scenes drama and celebrity cameos to delight fans, The Young and the Rest of Us is also rich in personal, relatable truths about marriage, motherhood, empty-nesting, self-discovery, and finding the courage to start over—as often as it takes. In a voice as fearless and frank as Jill’s, but with, humor and grace all her own, Jess Walton looks back on a life as unpredictable, and adventure filled as anything she has portrayed on screen.”
WHO ELSE PLAYED JILL FOSER ABBOTT?
Fans of The Young and the Restless know that Walton became the fourth actress to take on the role of Katherine Chancellor’s original nemesis Jill Foster back in 1987. The OG Jill was played by Brenda Dickson, also Deborah Adair, Bond Gideon and Melinda O. Fee played the part.
This year, Days of our Lives star Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) filled-in for several episodes for Walton who was unavailable to travel from her home in Oregon to Los Angeles where Y&R was taped. Walton is still with the long-running soap opera as Jill.
So, excited to learn of Jess Walton’s upcoming memoir, ‘The Young and the Rest of Us?’ Will it be it a must-read for you? Drop a comment below.

Why do people kept thinking he is going to comeback to daytime after he just left it? He wanted to move on and do something different and that’s what he is doing. His fans should be happy for him and leave it at that.
He came for the finale when he was supposedly done and wasn’t coming back like he told everyone. He even said then he’s open to daytime (and afterwards) depending on the obligation.and would consider a move to GH. They wouldn’t have done the Todd story the way it is on GH. They could’ve easily said he was found alive and Todd was cleared. But no, RC/FV must have an agreement for a short stint (similar to recent OLTL characters got) otherwise there’s no point. It’s clearly that simple.
General Hospital should be careful to not bring too many OLTL characters over. Many hardcore GH fans have started to defected from the show because they don’t like that they are OLTL characters on the show.
I am very happy for him. I think its awesome when daytime players turn up on primetime.
No, he isn’t coming back to GH. NOT at all!
Congrats Trevor!
Yeah, he is.
Yea he is what? Coming back to GH or a great actor? I know he isn’t coming back to GH, so I will assume you mean congrats to him as well! 🙂
I’m so happy for Trevor! He was really treated poorly after Roger decided to return to OLTL after so many years! He’s a great actor and I hope we see more of him!
WAIT a minute. There are 2 sides here. NOBODY fired or suggested Trevor leave. He wanted more money than they could give him. Obviously Roger was happy with the pay, and jumped at the chance. In all honesy, sounds like Trevor is doing better for himself so obviously his decision was the right one for him.
Is that what TSJ told you? That he wanted more money? What do you know about his finances? TSJ said he wanted to move on after 8 years,( I don’t blame him at all, TPTB at ABC Daytime are downright trifling) he said nothing about money, please do not put words in other people’s mouths. As for ABC Daytime, a blind person can see that they play favorites. They have a track record for this type of behavior. The “REAL Todd’ storyline is just a repeat of the “REAL Greenlee” and the “REAL Lucky” storyline. I am a Jonathan Jackson fan and was glad to see him back, but even I had the decency to call out ABC Daytime for the way they treated Greg Vaughn and the way the wrote for him. I am not a Greg Vaughn fan but I was still upset because I can see when people are being disrespected and I don’t like it at all. But disrespecting actors is what ABC Daytime does best. I have no doubt they did the same to TSJ as they did to Robin Strasser and so many other actors over the years. They didn’t have the decency to keep Robin Strasser until the finale. Who the hell cares about the ” REAL Todd”, that is not OLTL, the heart and soul of OLTL was the Dorian-Vicki relationship. It was disrespectful to long-term fans who remember that there was a show called OLTL before RH showed up.
TNT–I know as a fact he CHOSE to leave the show. I am friends with someone who is his neighbor, I know alot more than you know.
I know he wanted more money, and they wouldn’t buldge. I know negotioations were going on for quite some time. So YES I know alot more than you. Sorry, but YES I know.
So yea, that is what TSJ told me!!!!! 🙂
Robin Strasser who is a legend, got a little too mouth about her thoughts on the show and abc was not happy about it. She had planned to leave for minor surgery and they chose not to take her back. When you ‘bad mouth’ the employer, chances are you will lose your job. Why do you think Alexis has had no storyline for years? She is twitter happy.
THINK!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Debi
If you are his friend, then why would you be spreading his personal information on the internet? TSJ appears to be a private person and that does not seem to be the kind of information he would share with just anyone. Unless TSJ says otherwise, I’m going to go along with what he has said in his interviews. As for Robin Strasser, she is a bit outspoken but I still feel that ABC Daytime was being petty for not having her in the final episode. She has been a part of the show for a long time, it would not have killed them have her appear in the finale. To me, that is the problem with ABC Daytime, they put their egos before the needs of their viewers.
TnT Jealousy is not so becoming. Trevor and I aren’t friends, we have mutual friends. Re-read my post.:)
Also Trevor stated in an interview I believe it was TVGuide that he would not be returning for an ending scene on OLTL. Yet he did.
So you chose to believe what you do, and I will chose who & what I believe.
I am not jealous of you, so I have no idea what you are referring to. TSJ did not want to ruin the finale, since his return was supposed to be a surprise, I would not equate that with information regarding his contract negotiations. You can believe what you want, but since it is TSJ’s career, I will give him the final authority on it.
SO happy for him! Cannot wait to see In the Family and his ep of TCL (Knowing what the show is about, I hope we get to see some shirtless TSJ 😉 lol), but I am still hoping and wishing for him to pop up on GH. Even if it is just for a day so Victor & Tea can be reunited, as well as making Todd a permanent resident in Port Charles believable. 🙂
I also wanted to say thank you Michael Fairman, for keeping us updated on TSJ info. I love your website!
Oh, my lord, TnT 2.0 Forever….. Wow! I am so proud to see how U defended the “other side” as I do. You weren’t nasty, U just told it like it was. Yes, ABC is notorious for playing favorites, and U stated it beautifully, ” the problem with ABC Daytime, they put their egos before the needs of their viewers. ”
I also see how U spoke on things I have been speaking on since December, since I signed on: Favorites, the disrespect of Trevor St. John, the disRespect of Dorian not staying until the final AND not EVEN being reguarded enough to be asked back to be in the HISTORIC photo (that hurt). The other OLTL cast who ended up on the unemployement line, while a disloyal Roger H ( who left the show twice and ended up on another network w/in a week) comes backs resumes his old job, and gets other just bc he is Todd again. And as far as I’m concerned he is the “recast” Todd, bc TSJ took that character to depths RH never did, making it seem more like he (TSJ) was the real Todd, and Howard was the recast. If you go back and review some of the pages back to December, I talk about all of this in detail. I just wanted to commend you for your objective thinking, bc it’s not much of that going on- on here. I loved these points in your 1st paragraph.
TnT: I loved these points you made in your first paragraph:
” ABC Daytime are downright trifling) he said nothing about money, please do not put words in other people’s mouths. As for ABC Daytime, a blind person can see that they play favorites. They have a track record for this type of behavior. I am not a Greg Vaughn fan but I was still upset because I can see when people are being disrespected and I don’t like it at all. But disrespecting actors is what ABC Daytime does best. I have no doubt they did the same to TSJ as they did to Robin Strasser and so many other actors over the years.

It was disrespectful to long-term fans who remember that there was a show called OLTL before RH showed up. ”
Spot on, spot on TnT. It appears that as long as people are getting what they want they don’t care how it affects anyone else, which means they are like the executives who “put their egos before the needs of their viewers”. Their is no objectivity, everything subjective. There is the Oprah back-lash because she turned down the soaps, wishing that her network will crumble as a result. (Go to the recent Oprah post and the previous, for my and Heather’s views on the topic). And then there is the hope of everything OLTL come over to GH, constant banter, some ole topic’s day in and out, resulting in fights over non-sense/fiction, that isn’t putting one dime in our pockets. These folk have money and will be alright, either way it goes.
It’s refreshing to read alittle objectivity on this site.
Wow! Thank you so much! I absolutely agree with you that TSJ is the real Todd and how he did more to shape the character than RH ever did. It was the many layers that TSJ brought to the character that made me connect to Todd in a way I never had before.
This is no personal disrespect OR finger pointing to Debi or her position. This is my opinion/ over-all accessment of daily banter, issues that is discussed on this site.
I agree! Trevor was the real Todd! He had the right next of good & evil. Roger’s Todd was all evil.
Trevor St. John is/was the best thing that ever happened to OLT. He breathe life into the role of Todd Manning . I cannot believe the talented staff for GH has not figured a way to write this very talented actor into script…He will rock Port Charles!!!!! Better yet come up with a new soap opera(thats simple) either way put this guy back to work on daytime television.
I don’t know how a talented actor like Trevor St. John could stand playing someone as vile, corrupted, low, and ill-fated as the one he played on One Life To Live. Personally, I’m glad that Trevor left the series. The character he played was nothing more than a sociopathic jerk. Someone who ruined lives, got away with way too much, and poisoned and polluted Llanview with all of his illegal BS.
In some ways, the hatred and resentment between his ill-fated character and that of the heroic John McBain(played wonderfully by Michael Easton)was similar to the characters played brilliantly by Roy Scheider and Malcolm McDowell in Blue Thunder.
It was always fun to see his character being beat up and shot up for whatever wrong doing that he committed. Finally, one of the writers made the right decision and decided to kill off Victor ‘Todd Manning’ Lord, Jr once and for all.
Personally, I think the person tied up to the bed in the OLTL final was none other than the Walker Lawrence character. There is no way that anyone could survive a gunshot wound as fatal as that.
Hopefully, Trevor will play more heroes instead of villains.
