In 1988, Olivia debuted on General Hospital.

When Olivia wasn’t plotting against her family, she was scheming to win Duke Lavery’s (Ian Buchanan) heart. But Olivia faced competition from Duke’s lady love Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). One of Olivia’s attempts to break up the couple caused Anna to miscarry.
In 1990, Olivia was killed when Julian shot her. However, in 2017, she returned from the dead, ready to stir up more trouble. Olivia orders the car explosion, which accidentally kills Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) instead of Julian. She kidnaps Julian’s girlfriend, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and his daughter Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).
Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) and Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen) also become her kidnapping victims. Olivia hopes they can help with her plan to revive a deceased Duke. However, her reign of terror ends when she’s arrested for Morgan’s murder. Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) vows revenge against Olivia as she’s carted off to D’Archam.
