'General Hospital' won't allow Julian Jerome to rest in peace

General Hospital fans were angry when William deVry was let go, and also shocked at the way his final days played out. His character Julian Jerome was shot by a hitman sent by Cyrus and ended up trying to catch a bus while bleeding from his wound. He saw visions of Alexis, Duke Lavery, and Connie Falconeri who were all taunting him. He was also hunted like an animal by Sonny and Jason and eventually died after Sonny shot him again and he fell off a bridge into the water.

It seems it wasn't enough for General Hospital simply to fire William deVry, and kill off his character. They did it in such a manner that there seems no possible way he could return in the future. His body was recovered and shown in the body bag so there could be no mistaking that he was dead. Now the ABC daytime drama is continuing to ruin his name with subtle messages within the storylines. First, Julian's adult children Lucas and Sam admitted they don't miss him and basically, said that he deserved his fate.

Everyone Alexis talks to tells that her former husband was no good and that Julian was to blame for her becoming an alcoholic. Olivia quickly set things in motion for Ned to formally adopt Leo and make him a Quartermaine which would take his father's name from him. Leo's half-sister Sam and half-brother Dante have promised to spend time with their younger sibling but nothing was mentioned about telling him about his biological father. Julian has taken the fall 100% for planting the bomb inside the Floating Rib even though Cyrus forced him.

His sister Ava is making a new life as a Cassadine and does not even mention her deceased brother. It looks like Julian's memory is being erased from Port Charles but this is only a smokescreen. There is a Pandora's box that has been opened related to Julian Jerome and eventually must be addressed. Most viewers are saying they hope the writers will not sweep this situation under the rug and pretend that it did not happen. Fans will recall that when Dr. Nero left town she had a pregnancy test in hand. She slept with Franco and the storyline did not indicate that she and Julian were still intimate.

When Julian was on the run and he went to New New York looking for his ex-girlfriend Kim. She was not home but "Charlie" met her nanny and her little boy. After he left the apartment, the nanny called Dr. Nero on the phone and said that Julian did not realize the child was his. There is no way Kim could have had a DNA test done unless she took something that belonged to "Charlie" with her to be tested. If indeed Julian and not Franco is the father of the child this means that there is someone to carry on the Jerome name, so to speak at some point in the future. General Hospital might SORAS the boy, (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrom) and have him come to Port Charles years later.

He could show up to meet his siblings or to avenge his father's death and seek vengeance on Sonny. It would not make sense for Kim to return to town now after Julian is dead but you never know what the writers have up their sleeves. More than likely they will not mention this little boy for quite some time and then when the viewers least expect it they will have him show up. He may even use a different name the same way his father came to PC as Derek Wells. Keep this in mind because there most definitely was a reason Kim's son was revealed at this particular time. If the boy turns out to be Franco's then this will be a whole different scenario to ponder, so stay tuned.
