Kim Delaney

Former “General Hospital” and “NYPD Blue” star Kim Delaney was arrested on Saturday, March 29, alongside her partner, James Morgan, after law enforcement arrived at her Los Angeles home in response to a domestic disturbance call.

According to TMZ, which first reported the news, sources told the outlet that things unfolded around 10:00 a.m. local time after officers assessed the situation, which included Delaney and Morgan allegedly getting into a “heated argument that turned physical.” 

The outlet’s sources also indicated that when paramedics arrived, both Delaney and Morgan had signs of physical injury.

“After both were medically cleared, police slapped them with handcuffs and locked them up in jail,” the outlet said. “Kim was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury. Morgan was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence [DV].”

On Sunday, PEOPLE reported that Delaney was charged with assault with a deadly weapon while Morgan was arrested for domestic violence, per a spokesperson for the Marina Del Rey Sherriff’s Station, which the outlet was referred to by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department when reaching out for comment. 

Morgan and Delaney were still in custody as of March 30, according to the spokesperson cited by PEOPLE.

A representative for Delaney did not immediately respond to requests for comment from either outlet at press time.

Reportedly, Morgan was arrested about a half an hour before Delaney by the LASD, and his bail was set at $20,000.

This isn’t the first time Delaney has had to face the law. In 2002, she was booked on charges of drunken driving in Malibu, and in 2024, she was sued by a motorcyclist for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in Los Angeles.

Delaney and Morgan are both scheduled for court appearances on Tuesday, April 1.

Ironically, Delaney shared a photo of herself and Morgan on Instagram earlier this month, captioning the post, “Pure love.” She included the hashtags “lucky” and “grateful.” In a post from January, she said, “love always wins! Let’s keep this love and kindness with each other through these uncertain times!”

Delaney is best known to soap fans for her role as Jenny Gardner Nelson on “All My Children,” which netted her a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 1983 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She later became a household name in the primetime series “NYPD Blue,” playing Diane Russell from 1995-2003. She was honored with a Primetime Emmy Award for her role in 1997, also for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She received additional nominations in 1998 and 1999 in the same category. 

Among other awards recognition, Delaney was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for the role, in 1998 and 1999, both of which were in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama.

In 2021. Delaney received her second-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination, this time for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Drama Series for her role as Jackie Templeton on “General Hospital,” which she played from 2020-2021 and marked her return to daytime television.

Delaney’s other noteworthy credits include a starring role in Lifetime’s “Army Wives,” starring in several TV movies, including “10.5” and “10.5: Apocalypse,” and roles in such shows as “The O.C.,” “CSI: Miami,” “Murder in the First,” “The Oath,” and more recently, “Chicago Fire.”

Unfortunately, Kim Delaney has been troubled for decades, what with her issues with alcohol and losing acting gigs. A shame. I loved her as Jenny Gardner as only an 11/12-year-old could.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
