General Hospital Spoilers: Tonja Walker Shocking Debut as Legacy Character Helena – Not Olivia Jerome?

General Hospital Spoilers: Tonja Walker Shocking Debut as Legacy Character Helena – Not Olivia Jerome?

General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Tonja Walker will make her return to GH soon but showrunners have clarified that her return doesn’t mean Olivia Jerome is back. Will Tonja play another villainess and not Julian Jerome’s (William deVry) wicked sister?

There have been many hints about this new mob boss character being resurrected but Olivia isn’t the only dead woman that could come back to haunt Port Charles. Is GH bringing back the evilest she-villain in the show’s history? Is Helena Cassadine coming back as a younger version of herself?

Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) was held captive doing medical research for Helena that would guarantee the Cassadine matriarch an unnaturally long life. When Helena read off her video will in January 2016, she mentioned the science of immortality.

Helena said in her video will about Robin “I had her working to make me immortal… As I’m recording this, I’m not actually expecting to die. Ever. But one takes precautions.” Helena supposedly died but there have been many hints that she’s not really gone.

For one, only Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) confirmed her death and said he buried her and we know he wasn’t trustworthy. He’s a death faking liar, so there is no telling whether Helena’s death was faked, staged or just a big trick to get Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) off the Cassadine’s case.

The new mob boss is seen constantly in red and that was Helena’s signature color. But Constance Towers seems to be retired. However, resurrecting Helena but using a younger actress to play her would be brilliant because it brings her back capable of years more of wreaking havoc.

Frankly, Port Charles doesn’t need another Jerome. Julian and Ava Jerome (Maura West) are more than enough thank you. But the Cassadines can always use more family members. Another hint that the new troublemaker might be Helena is the love of umbrella stories with these GH writers.

The Jelly team crafts gigantic stories that pull in many characters and if Tonja Walker is coming back as Helena rather than Olivia, it will pull Valentin Cassadine (James Stuart) into the story since he and Helena hate one another.

Few GH fans think that Helena is really dead and with Robin working on anti-aging research, a younger Helena could happen. Tonja Walker and Constance Towers look enough alike that Tonja could play a more youthful version of Helena.

But Tonja is not so young that Robin’s research would be a fountain of youth type of development. But cranking her age down a bit is brilliant. Constance is in her early 80s but looks younger while Tonja is in her late 50s.

The Cassadines freeze and unfreeze people and the family patriarch had a machine powered by a giant diamond that could freeze a city. High-powered full body Botox to age Helena back 20 years is totally within the realm of Cassadine scheming.

Another hint that it’s Helena, not Olivia, is from a new promo of upcoming drama that shows Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) saying “It was you all along.” Sam doesn’t know Olivia, but she does know Helena and has been waiting for the curse to come back around.

It would be amazing to have Helena back and to see Tonja Walker in the role. GH showrunners refused to confirm if Tonja was playing Olivia and this would be quite an unexpected twist. What do you think? Would you like to see Tonja playing a younger recast version of Helena?
