Storylines[]
On November 16, 2017; Steven was the editor of The Invader as he meets with Nelle Benson after his mother Olivia Jerome was imprisoned eight months earlier at D'Archum Asylum and the crime at the Metro Court Hotel occurred by Frank Anderson and Greg Barnes who were in revenge for Cesar Faison leaving Nathan West and Franco Baldwin unharmed before the arrival of Jim Harvey of Niagara Equities and the deaths of Nathan West and Cesar Faison in 2018 which triggered the earthquake a month later after Mayor Janice Lomax's resignation as Mayor of Port Charles leaving the city unprotected without a mayor. It is revealed that Steven worked with Nelle's male counterpart Peter August.
On December 9, Steven pressed charges against Maxie Jones and Lulu Spencer leaving Nathan under his orders to arrest them and sent them to jail to protect Nelle and Peter.
In 2020, Steven gained Nelle as his step aunt by marriage of Julian Jerome until Nelle's death.
In 2022, his mother Olivia was transferred to Pentonville Penitentiary one year after the death of Jason Morgan on Cassadine Island via tunnel collapse after the death of his former boss Peter August that triggered the armed robbers Eric Watson and Harry DeFranco at Charlie's Pub nearly two months later before The Hook attacks.
On February 15-16, 2024; his mother was killed by an unknown gunman during prison transport as he's concealing his face, identity, and physical appearance likely to remain unseen and offscreen making him, his aunt Ava and cousin Avery the only Jeromes remaining in Port Charles. The unknown person is revealed to be Stone who is behind the shootings of Curtis Ashford at the Metro Court Pool leaving Ava Jerome unharmed still able to walk on her own two feet and Sonny Corinthos in The Island in Puerto Rico as well as hits on four other mob heads. One month later on March 29, it was revealed that Valentin Cassadine as head of Pikeman Security Group was behind the hit under the name Stone a month after Valentin bought The Invader from Shawn Butler who is now living in San Francisco.
