Julian has a son and Sonny showdown on 'General Hospital'

General Hospital fans have been waiting for weeks to find out how William deVry's character will exit Port Charles. Several times when it looked as if it were over for Julian Jerome he survived. Lulu,(Emmy Rylan) was shipped off to a long term care facility to recover from brain trauma caused by the bomb explosion. Dev and Dustin are dead and gone but Julian is still around. Viewers thought he would die in the blast, or at the hands of his sister Ava. Some assumed that Cyrus or Sonny would end his life. Now GH has added a new twist to the storyline related to "Charlie's" ex Kim Nero and fans are wondering what it means.

Tamara Braun's character was written out of General Hospital in November 2019. The actress went back to portraying Ava Vitali on Days of Our Lives in November of this year. This makes it unlikely that she would appear at this time on General Hospital. Even so on Friday Julian Jerome showed up at an apartment looking for Dr. Nero but instead found a nanny with Kim's son. After he was gone the nanny spoke to Kim on the phone and said Julian did not realize the little boy named Andrew was his child. Julian later was accosted by Sonny who with gun in hand said he needs information.

Viewers know that William deVry's days on the ABC daytime drama are numbered so this news about the baby is raising questions. What is the significance of Julian having a young son, if he is going to die or be running for his life? What is the reason for bringing up Kim and revealing a child at this point? Sonny probably wants to know everything that Julian can tell him about Cyrus, but will he kill him after he gets what he wants. There still have been no spoilers that indicate how Julian will exit Port Charles. Jason is on the scene so this could be the end for Mr. Jerome.

Is General Hospital going to recast Kim Nero, or is the baby some type of temporary means to an end? Viewers will have to wait until Monday to find out if Sonny and Jason allow Julian to live but if he does not then what about the child? Kim was distraught after Oscar died and begged Julian to give her a baby. She then tried to seduce Drew Cane by drugging him but that did not work. Kim was told that another child would not replace her deceased son and this only made her angry. It's curious that Julian could not tell by the age of the child that the little boy was most likely his. Of course, when death is staring you in the face you probably are not able to properly focus.

This plot continues to thicken so there is no telling when William deVry's character will finally exit General Hospital. The writers are drawing this out and giving no teasers regarding what will happen. Devotees of deVry are on the edge of their seats wondering how and when Julian will pay for his crimes. The powers that be have left no chance for redemption and fans know Julian must go. It seems as if now that Lulu is gone that the demise of Ava's brother is long and drawn out. Celeb Dirty Laundry reveals that Jason will ask for help from Brick on Wednesday, December 16 and the spoiler suggests this might be when Julian is dealt with.

The rumor mill and spoiler alerts have been saying Julian will die since about a week before the bomb went off at the Floating Rib. Obviously, William devry's fina air date is a closely guarded secret and is not being leaked. On Friday, deVry shared a tweet from General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini which teased that Kim might help save her "Charlie". Some fans are hoping against hope that perhaps deVry might not get the ax and will remain on the ABC soap. Tune in next week to find out if this is it for Julian or if he may buy himself more time and find out he has a son.
