General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal Olivia “Liv” Jerome (Tonja Walker) will be back and when Liv returns after a tenure in Darkham psychiatric prison, she’s got a bombshell to drop on Port Charles and it’s all about Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen) and Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan).
General Hospital fans have been hoping that Griffin is really Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) son with Duke. Remember she was pregnant back in the 80s but then Liv rigged an elevator to try and kill Duke and made Anna miscarry instead. Some viewers speculated Griffin might be that baby.
In reality, new General Hospital spoilers tease Anna did lose the baby and it’s Liv that had a secret child with Duke. Back in the day, Liv was insane and was even institutionalized by her family for a time after her other brother Dino tried to kill her. Liv also slept with Duke and told him she was pregnant.
At the time, that was said to be a lie, but the new GH writers are apparently rewriting history again (as they love to do) and are going to add a hiccup to Liv and Duke’s storyline. It seems Liv really was pregnant after her night of passion with Duke but she was so crazy, she didn’t know.
Because Liv was so crazy, her family didn’t trust her with a child and so they kept her sedated and conspired with her psychiatrist to keep her in the dark about the pregnancy. Then when Griffin was born, the Jeromes gave him away to Margaret Munro – who is now dead – who raised Griffin as her own.
When Griffin showed up to court to testify against Liv, he had no idea he was condemning his own mother. Liv taunted him that day, calling him Duke, and saying she couldn’t see any of his mother in him. Griffin snapped and asked, “What the hell do you know about my mother?”
As it turns out, Liv now knows quite a lot. When Liv met Griffin in the General Hospital parking lot, she was surprised to learn he was Duke’s son and that inspired her to dig into his past. It was easy for Liv to run a DNA test since she had Griffin’s blood from when she wounded him and discovered their connection.
The reveal of Griffin as Liv and Duke’s son opens up disturbing new pathways and possibilities for Griffin. That means that Julian Jerome (William deVry) would be Griffin’s uncle – and that makes them family even though Julian had Duke, Griffin’s dad, killed.
That also makes the recent flirtation between Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Griffin even more disturbing since that would make her his “Aunt Ava.” The only upside to the revelation would be Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) and Griffin would find out they’re cousins – as well as good friends.
Griffin continues to be devoted to Anna and he would hate to find out Liv is his biological mother. General Hospital spoilers tease that there’s no way Liv will leave Griffin alone after this – he’s her precious boy with Duke – and she’ll want to lavish love on him and get him far from Anna.
Liv’s reveal as Griffin’s mom is eerily reminiscent of when Heather Webber (Robin Mattson) revealed she was Franco’s (Roger Howarth) biological mother – and we know how General Hospital loves to recycle plots. The main difference is Franco is a sinner while Griffin is a saint – but both have insane mothers.
This is a disturbing twist in the Duke, Anna, and Liv triangle that will affect Griffin for the rest of his life. Share your comments below on the reveal of Griffin as Liv’s son and come back to CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, news and updates.
