Find out the history behind this mystery.
General Hospital fans got a blast from the past when Cyrus Renault warned Laura Collins to keep Anna Devane out of prison…because Olivia Jerome was already getting her welcome wagon ready. And he didn’t mean that in a nice way. (Is anything nice about life in prison?)
General Hospital Past Serves The Future
This, of course, prompted some viewers to ask: Who is Oliva Jerome (Tonja Walker)? Fear not, we’ve got your answer – at least as it pertains to Anna (Finola Hughes).
GH: Triangle Fire
The first thing to understand is that Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine is not Olivia Jerome (Lisa LoCicero). Similar to how multiple people with the same name are possible in real life, how many Madisons are enrolled in your child’s class? How many Bens and Michaels are there? This occasionally (rarely) occurs on soap operas.
First to arrive was Oliva Jerome. She is the older sister of Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West), and in the late 1980s, between launching a hit on Julian Jerome (last portrayed by William deVry), she engaged in combat with Anna (Finola Hughes) for Duke Lavery. Olivia tried to kill Duke in an elevator that was broken when she realized she would never have him. Instead, she got Anna, who lost the child she and Duke had together.
In the end, Olivia made an attempt to atone for her transgression by telling Anna where she could locate a presumed dead Duke, but she was shot and put into a coma. She was then thought to be deceased.
Olivia Jerome and Anna Devane: Second Act
Nearly 20 years later, an Olivia who was still alive (we know, shocker) was back in Port Charles, once more kidnapping individuals like Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), drugging individuals like Laura Collins (Genie Francis), and murdering Morgan Corinthos.
She returned to trying to assassinate Anna and kidnapped Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough). Although Liv was imprisoned, she naturally held Anna responsible. Because of this, our Anna is in grave risk if they are in the same cell or even in the same building.
