Ned has been helping Olivia raise Leo since he was born.
The first time was almost before it even began.
She feared his mobster lifestyle, so she told Julian that their premature baby didn’t survive.
He also wanted to keep his adult children safe.
Sonny ended up following Julian to a footbridge in New Jersey after Cyrus' goons already shot him.
So, she sat down and had a talk with Julian Jerome’s sister, Ava Jerome.
Actress Lisa LoCicero thought it was time for Ned to become Leo’s father after he helped raise him.
“He proved [his love] through actions.
Words don’t mean anything.
People can say a lot of stuff, but what do they do?
How do they show up for you?
He really showed who he is on a deep level by caring about what was most important.”
