Storylines[]
Jim Harvey arrived in Port Charles on January 3, 2018 and he met Ned Quartermaine on business a day after Erich Sydney was arrested and sent to prison. He and Ned wanted to redevelop the district on Charles Street to follow former Mayor Janice Lomax's idea but Michael Corinthos was against the idea after Janice resigned as Mayor.
On January 10, Jim Harvey visited Elizabeth Webber's house hoping to look for Franco Baldwin since he knew him as a kid due to dating his mother Betsy Frank. He saw Franco as he came home who seemed weirded out by Jim Harvey but he claimed he didn't remember him before the return of Cesar Faison a week later.
Jim tried to buy Charlie's Pub from Julian Jerome who refused to sell. He also tried to buy Franco's art studio who also refused to sell.
On February 8, Jim met Andrew Cain and he also knew him as a kid due to having dated Betsy Frank but Drew also didn't remember him. Sam McCall asked Jim if he could tell Drew anything about his past but he claimed he didn't know much after the deaths of Cesar Faison and Nathan West.
On February 20, Ned won the mayoral election due to a last minute public video about Alexis Davis getting Julian out of jail was leaked. It was revealed that Jim leaked the video to hand the election to Ned making Margaux Dawson happy having Ned as Mayor since she's is Ned's female counterpart.
On March 2, 2018 an earthquake hit Port Charles and most of the damage was on Charles Street one month after the deaths of Cesar Faison and Nathan West in which Nathan would never survive. It also lead to the phone lines going dead.
On March 9, Jim told Drew that Franco tried to kill him when he pushed him down the stairs which lead to Drew confronting Franco. After Franco explained his side of the story and that he doesn't really remember what happened, Drew agreed with him and decided they should work together to find out what really happened when they were kids.
On March 14, Franco confronted Jim and he also lied and said they found Betsy. As he brought up the time when they were kids Jim said no one would ever believe him because he was bad and he was lying. Franco started having a panic attack because memories were coming back to him so Drew came to his rescue and Jim had his men knock them out and put them in a boiler room on his site. As Jim held them down there he was going to have cement poured on them but Drew and Franco eventually escaped through the sewer and the water. Jim eventually became a fugitive due to his crimes and went on the run.
On March 21, it was revealed he has been holding Betsy Frank captive in his house for months.
On April 4, Jim returned after learning that Betsy was rescued and in the hospital so he stole some scrubs and a doctor coat to disguise himself as a doctor. On April 5, Betsy saw him and began to panic but Drew was trying to calm her down since he didn't see anyone there. Jim held Elizabeth and her son Jake at gunpoint. As Jim tried to kidnap them, Franco saw this and froze, but then ran and tackled him when he saw Jim put his hand on Jake. Jim was getting beat up by Franco and Elizabeth and Jake had a chance to escape. When Elizabeth brought Drew down to the parking garage, they saw that Franco and Jim had disappeared.
On April 9, it was revealed that Franco kidnapped Jim and was holding him hostage at gunpoint in his art studio. As memories were coming back to Franco he remembered he did indeed push Drew down the stairs but he also remembered he was only protecting him from Jim. He finally remembered that Jim had sexually abused him as a child. He forced Jim to confess what he did to his other victims and he wrote a list of his victims. Franco was going to kill Jim Harvey who begged him not to and suggested giving him to the cops instead. Jim then got the upper hand and fought Franco and he tried to choke him to death but Drew showed up and shot him in the back. On April 10, it was revealed that Jim Harvey died after being shot by Drew.
