She is also involved in adventures with Georgie Jones, her uncle Dillon Quartermaine, and Sage Alcazar, who competes with her for a recording contract. The obnoxious Sage is murdered by serial killer Mary Bishop after she is locked in the Quartermaine freezer by a fed-up Georgie. Sage is a sitting duck for the killer, who mistakes her for Brook's adopted cousin Emily Quartermaine. After her death, Brook puts a poignant song written by Sage to music and records it. Sage's uncle Lorenzo Alcazar blames Brook and the other teens for her death, but is brought to tears when he hears Brook perform the song. The following year, Brook is a victim of the Port Charles Stalker, who drugs girls and takes pictures of them.

Soon after, Brook decided to leave Port Charles and return to New York to pursue her music career. Brook Lynn was convinced to return to town in 2010 by Carly Corinthos Jacks, who promised to pay Brook if she came between Dante Falconeri, with whom Brook grew up in Bensonhurst, and his girlfriend, Lulu Spencer. Carly hired Brook Lynn to sing at the Metro Court, and purchased her an apartment across from Dante's. Brook succeeds in drugging Dante at a bar, and attempts to have sex with him in his apartment, but Lulu arrives to stop this and blames Brook entirely. Feeling guilty, Brook later tells Lulu that she had been working for Carly, but Carly lies and claims she was only trying to test Dante to see if he was worthy of Lulu. Lulu believes Carly, and continues to blame Brook. Finding Brook in a state of devastation, wealthy Nikolas Cassadine invites her into his castle and hires her to be his escort for a formal dinner in France. While he teaches her etiquette, the two begin a flirtation, and then a romance. Brook eventually moves into the Cassadine castle and continues to work as Nikolas' escort at formal events. She is soon at odds with Elizabeth Webber, the mother of Nikolas' son Aiden. Elizabeth was interested in pursuing a relationship with Nikolas after previously turning him down, but Nikolas was now interested in Brook Lynn, and turned her down. Brook Lynn later got an offer to go on tour with a band. Nikolas got caught up in family issues, and encouraged Brook Lynn to take the offer because he could not put her first. The two parted ways, and Brook Lynn left town. Brook Lynn returned to town in 2019 with Setton taking over the role. Brook Lynn legally changed her last name to Quartermaine in early 2020. Unlike León, Setton can't sing and is not a musician in real life, so in September 2020, Brook Lynn's singing career ended when her throat was slashed by Nelle Benson, nearly killing her. ==Tom Baker==

After falling in love with Mac, Dominique divorced her husband and went to Port Charles to find Mac. When she found him, she convinced him that she needed protection and asked for his help in keeping Leopold away. Leopold came to town after Dominique, Mac, and he fought over her. During a gunfight, the loud shots restored Dominique's hearing, but Leopold had her committed to Shadybrook Sanitarium after becoming her guardian. He was later killed when he became involved in a cartel to take over global business, and in his will, he left Dominique a large sum of money. After his death, Dominique was able to leave Shadybrook and resumed her relationship with Mac. She later broke up with Mac after she became jealous of his relationship with his ex-sister-in-law Holly Sutton. Dominique then moved on with her life and became partners with Julia Barrett and Scott Baldwin in Deception perfume. Connor Olivera, the son of Sean Donely, pursued Dominique, and the two had a brief relationship. Dominique later joined Scott for a weekend in Vegas, and when she woke up from a hangover a few days later, she was shocked to learn that Scott and she were married. After getting the news, Connor ended his relationship with Dominique and left town. After returning to Port Charles, Scott and Dominique filed divorce papers and decided that they would call off the divorce if they enjoyed being married to each other. The two ended up falling in love and decided to stay married. In 1993, Dominique began to suffer from severe headaches and dizzy spells, and she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and only months to live. Scott was devastated by the news, but Dominique and he decided to have a second lavish wedding where all their friends and family could attend. Dominique wanted to give Scotty a child before she died, and that became possible when Lucy Coe agreed to become a surrogate for them. Lucy successfully carried Dominique's fertilized egg, and Dominique lived to hear the heartbeat of her child, but sadly did not live long enough to see the baby born. After hearing the baby's heartbeat, Dominique died in Scott's arms on a beautiful spring day overlooking the trees. In her will, Dominique left Scott a large amount of money for their child and him. Months later, Lucy gave birth to Dominique and Scott's daughter, and Lucy and Scott decided to name the baby Serena after Dominique's family's estate Serenity.

Storylines Serena was born via surrogate mother Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) when it was discovered that her mother Dominique was dying, but wanted to leave her husband Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) with a child. Lucy made Scott and Dominique's dream possible by carrying Serena until birth. Scott and Lucy named her Serena, after the Stanton family estate named Serenity. Soon after Serena's birth, Scott took her and fled to Canada to hide from the mob that was trying to steal the fortune that was left to Serena and him. In 1997, Scott returned to Port Charles without Serena, and at first believed that Lucy had kidnapped her. He soon realized he was wrong, though, and not long after was hit by a car, but that did not deter his search for his missing daughter. Danielle Ashley, Dominique's half-sister, and Rex Stanton, their uncle, were later revealed to have taken Serena, and planned to use her to gain access to her trust fund. A worn-down Danielle ended up admitting the truth to Scott, and he was reunited with his daughter. Rex, however, pushed forward and made Scott look like an unfit father. His plan worked, and he gained custody of Serena, but Lucy married Rex to keep an eye on the little girl whom she had carried and loved. Rex was eventually forced to come clean with his deception, and he was arrested for his crimes. Serena was again reunited with Scott, and this time for good. Serena and Scott began to spend time with Eve Lambert, which caused Lucy to become extremely jealous. Lucy came up with a plan to gain back their attention by looking like a hero and siphoned the gas out of Eve's car, so she could rescue them when their car ran out of gas. Her plan backfired, however, when they were in an accident and Serena lost her eyesight. After a successful surgery, she regained her sight, and Serena was ecstatic when her parents, Scott and Lucy, eventually got married and adopted a baby girl they named Christina Baldwin. Unfortunately, Christina was taken by her biological mother, and her loss caused the end of Scott and Lucy's marriage. The tide turned and Serena was thrilled when Christina's biological mother, Julie Devlin, returned her to Scott and Lucy after she (Julie) found out that she was dying and could no longer care for Christina. Later that year on Christmas Eve, Lucy married Kevin Collins and Serena was happy to gain an older sister named Olivia Locke.

Stefan Darius Mikkosovich Cassadine is a fictional character played by actor Stephen Nichols from June 28, 1996, to January 16, 2002, and June 2, 2003, to October 16, 2003, on General Hospital. Stefan is the second son of villain Mikkos Cassadine, who once attempted to freeze the world with a weather machine in the famous 1980s Luke and Laura storyline, and his equally evil wife Helena. The complex and often dark character alternated between playing protective uncle to nephew Nikolas Cassadine and tender would-be lover of Laura Spencer, and his obsessive vendetta against Luke Spencer, whom he blamed for the death of his brother Stavros Cassadine and for his own loss of Laura. Storylines Stefan first came to Port Charles in 1996 with his teenaged nephew Nikolas Cassadine, the secret son of Laura Spencer and Stefan's older brother Stavros. The Cassadines are descended from a titled, aristocratic Russian family, who fled to Greece following the 1917 Russian Revolution. Stefan had raised Nikolas since infancy after Laura had escaped the captivity of Stavros and been forced to leave Nikolas behind, after Helena "murdered" Laura's mother, Lesley Webber, when she tried to contact him. Stefan battled his mother Helena Cassadine for control of Nikolas and control of the family company, and was official head of the family by the time Nikolas was seven. His mother, emotionally abusive to him during his childhood, viewed him as weak and soft, which he was only in comparison to the more homicidal members of the Cassadine family. Helena strongly favored his older brother Stavros and alternately ignored and belittled the more sensitive Stefan. Stefan loved and protected Alexis Davis, who was raised as his first cousin but later turned out to be his half-sister, both children of Mikkos. He paid for her to attend boarding school in the United States as a teenager and encouraged her to go into the legal profession. However, he also dominated her and expected complete loyalty and obedience from her. Alexis was charged with doing much of the legwork for "Timoria", Stefan's planned vendetta against the Spencer family and General Hospital, both of which Stefan blamed for the presumed death of his brother Stavros. In their first years on the show, fans detected romantic chemistry in Stefan's scenes with Alexis. Stefan expressed disapproval of Alexis's relationship with Ned Ashton and she later went to great lengths to break up his engagement to Katherine Bell, whom she disapproved of. Fans of the romantic pairing called themselves the "Gutter Rats", though no actual romantic relationship was ever alluded to in their scenes together. Laura Spencer contacted Stefan after her baby daughter Lulu Spencer was diagnosed with aplastic anemia and was in need of a bone marrow transplant from a matched donor. Nikolas turned out to be a match. True to the love-hate relationship Stefan always had with Laura, Stefan forced Laura to beg for her daughter's life. He then allowed Nikolas to donate the life-saving bone marrow to his sister. At the same time, Stefan launched his Timoria plot, to exact revenge on Luke and Laura for (presumably) killing his brother, Stavros, while he was attempted to rape Laura Spencer fifteen years prior. Stefan later married Luke's sister Bobbie Spencer as part of his revenge plot against the Spencers. The marriage ended in divorce after Stefan caught Bobbie investigating his actions against the Spencers. In the intervening years, Stefan had an affair with and later became engaged to Katherine Bell. This relationship was derailed for a time after his "cousin" Alexis produced proof that Katherine was Stefan's half-sister Natasha. This was eventually exposed as a falsehood, when it turned out that Alexis was the real Natasha. This revelation rocked Stefan and he reacted as a true Cassadine. Stefan banished Alexis, but eventually forgave her. During the grand Bacchanalia on Spoon Island, a ball celebrating her engagement to Stefan, Katherine fell off a parapet at the mansion, the victim of a failed attempt to murder Helena by Luke and Alexis. Katherine was rescued by Helena Cassadine and restored to health, but died in a second fall from the parapet (this time assisted by Helena) soon after her return. Meanwhile, Laura was harboring a secret about Nikolas, which strained her relationship with her husband and family. Eventually, Luke discovered that she had slept with Stefan and believed that Stefan, not Stavros, was Nikolas' father, and had lied to him about it. Meanwhile, Stefan had to face Nikolas about the secret that Stefan, too, had kept. Nikolas lashed out at Stefan, moving out and depending heavily on his brother, Lucky Spencer, and his friend, Emily Quartermaine, for support. Stefan did not approve of Nikolas's choices for companions, feeling that they were below his stature as a Cassadine. In particular, Stefan felt that Nikolas should always be wary of Spencers, and not trust them as he had come to trust Lucky. Eventually the two reconciled. Nikolas had always loved Stefan like a father, after all. DNA testing later proved that Stavros was actually Nikolas's father, much to Stefan's bitter disappointment. The damage was already done to Luke and Laura, however, and they divorced. Shortly before Luke and Laura divorced, Stefan and Laura began a relationship, and Stefan felt hopeful that he could regain his relationship with Laura, the woman he had so loved and hated over the years. Unfortunately, their relationship ended bitterly, after Stefan learned that Laura's presumed dead son, Lucky, was alive, and temporarily withheld the information from her. Laura eventually learned about this from Luke, and violently confronted Stefan. Laura could not forgive him for the lie, and Stefan finally accepted that he and Laura had no future. Stefan later fell in love with Quartermaine cousin Chloe Morgan and was framed for her murder when his back-from-the-dead brother, Stavros, killed her. The plot was eventually revealed and Stefan was cleared. He appeared more aggressive and continually more deranged and desperate in his final year on the show. Stefan returned to the show after an absence. He had plotted an arranged marriage for Nikolas with Lydia Karenin, a wealthy Russian heiress, to restore the Cassadine family's wealth. He ordered Nikolas to marry Lydia, but Nikolas was reluctant to follow through. Stefan attempted to kill Nikolas's real love, Emily Quartermaine, but pushed Lucky's girlfriend Summer (a Laura look-alike), off the cliff by mistake. His secret was well hidden, though, he thought. Stefan's loan from Lorenzo Alcazar was due (this loan transpired as Stefan re-entered the show); Stefan and Lorenzo's henchmen fought quite a bit with him in his final weeks. At this time as well, Luke Spencer kidnapped and put Stefan on "trial" in front of the entire Port Charles television audience, taped by Dillon Quartermaine. Luke intended for Stefan to admit to the attempted murder of Emily Bowen-Quartermaine and actual murder of Summer Holloway. Stefan apparently died after he was burned (and disfigured) and later stabbed in a knife fight with Luke Spencer. Luke was arrested for Stefan's murder but was released when Stefan's suicide note was found, where Stefan admitted that he had set Luke up for his staged "murder". ==Jagger Cates==

A kid named Stone came to her aid. He turned out to be Jagger's brother, Mike. Karen felt unworthy of Jagger, who had started to box with Marco Dane as his manager. She broke up with Jagger, who was comforted by Brenda Barrett. A troubled Karen went to work as a stripper at the Paradise Lounge, run by Sonny Corinthos. Stone lived in Sonny's apartment above the club. Soon, Karen was addicted to stripping, Sonny, and pills. Karen kept her new life a secret while she worked at Kelly's and the hospital, and went to class at Port Charles University. Jagger and "Stone" were reunited. After Jagger and Stone argued over Stone's going back to school, Jagger followed Stone to the Paradise Lounge. He saw Karen stripping. Later, a stunned Jagger found Karen in bed with Sonny and beat Sonny up. Sonny put a hit out on Jagger. Marco promised Sonny a piece of Jagger's boxing action in exchange for Jagger's life. Sonny liked the idea of "owning" Jagger and agreed. Slipping into the strip joint, Brenda's eyes popped when she saw a drugged-out Karen taking her clothes off. Brenda saw it all, and told everyone. Karen's friends and family rallied around her during her recovery. In his next fight, Jagger refused to follow Sonny's orders to take a dive. Jagger and Karen ran away and finally made love.

Before Jagger and Karen's wedding day, a suicidal patient at the hospital almost plunged out a window with Karen. A new orderly, Miguel Morez, saved them both. Miguel saw how Jagger felt about Karen and had a pang. He had once been in love like that with a girl named Lily. Jagger stopped his brother Stone from driving the getaway van that would carry Frank Smith out of jail. Tragedy struck when the bike Jagger was riding crashed and he was knocked out. Jagger recuperated from his motorcycle spill in time to marry Karen in a touching wedding ceremony. It was a day filled with love—and surprises. Karen's mother revealed to Karen that Scott Baldwin was her father. Karen, overjoyed by the news, happily hopped on the back of her new husband's motorcycle and sped off to a new life in San Francisco, where Karen would become a doctor and Jagger would become a police officer. In 1995, Stone Cates had come down with the flu. As his girlfriend Robin Scorpio nursed him with chicken soup, he convinced her she should go to Yale. Stone assured Robin he had been tested and was HIV negative. They made love for the first time. Mac was furious when he found out, but he came to realize he had to let Robin grow up. When Stone could not shake the flu, tests revealed the worst possible news. Stone was HIV positive. Stone could not bring himself to reveal the deeply tragic news to Robin. Jagger returned to Port Charles to visit with Stone, luckily getting the chance to spend a little time with his brother before Stone died later that year.

Karen and Joe had been childhood friends in Port Charles. Although Karen was now married to Jagger Cates, a police officer stationed in San Francisco, she was still attracted to Joe, and Joe was attracted to Karen. Karen's marriage to Jagger was on shaky ground, but she wanted to make it work. Although they constantly found themselves in close situations, Karen and Joe resisted their impulses, as Karen tried to stay faithful to her husband. Afraid of her feelings for Joe and needing to see Jagger, Karen went to San Francisco. While there, Karen learned that Jagger had been having an affair and that their marriage was truly over. Karen returned to Port Charles and her friendship with Joe grew deeper and the two began dating. 2008: General Hospital: Night Shift In 2008, Jagger returns to Port Charles with his five-year-old son Stone, named after his deceased brother. Writer Sri Rao explained the effect on Jagger he wanted to portray, stating "The focus of our story is mostly on how it affects Jagger as a parent. ... It's a very overwhelming and complicated emotional journey that a parent goes on when their child is diagnosed with autism. It starts with denial, embarrassment, confusion, sadness, and ultimately, acceptance. That's the arc we'll see Jagger go through over the course of this season." Rao reached out to Autism Speaks to make sure he told the story "authentically, responsibly and realistically". Throughout the show, the audience sees Jagger slowly come to terms with Stone's autism. At the end of season, Jagger and Stone return to San Francisco. 2024 In February 2024, Jagger (Adam J. Harrington) returns to Port Charles, now going by his given name, "John", as an FBI agent. He first meets Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) at Bobbie's (formerly known as Kelly's) before he meets Leo Falconeri (Easton Rocket Sweda) and keeps him company, recognizing that he's autistic like his own son, Stone. After getting a call, he and a few FBI agents shut down a sting operation ran by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper). Anna recognizes the lead agent as Jagger, but John reveals that he's outgrown the nickname and reveals that they're interfering with a federal investigation, but gives them enough information to satisfy their curiosity before arresting them. After Anna accepts the position of being the Commissioner of the PCPD, she and Jordan are released and work with John in his investigation into Curtis Ashford's (Donnell Turner) shooting. In March, following a failed assassination attempt on Sonny at a warehouse, it's discovered that Jason Morgan is alive and appearing to be working with another sniper. John, the FBI, Anna, and the PCPD pursue Jason since he was the prime suspect in the shooting of Sonny's son, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). However, after Jason turns himself in to clear his name, John privately confronts Jason on what he's doing and demands to know what happened, so Jason informs him of what really went down following the failed assassination attempt; Jason made sure the other sniper missed his shot and they were making their way to the extraction team on Pier 50, but Dante caught up with them, forcing Jason to reveal himself before the sniper shot Dante. John tells Jason that his cover is blown and he's looking at capital murder if Dante dies. Jason reveals to Anna that he's been working for John as an informant since November 2021; the FBI has leverage over him about RICO Violations which carries a 20-year prison sentence so John has been forcing him to infiltrate an organization called "Pikeman", where he signed on as a private military contractor because the FBI could not send in an official agent due to Pikeman's deep ties to the WSB. After Jason is released on bail, Dante wakes up and clears Jason's name, so John orders Jason to stay in Port Charles and use himself as bait to lure Pikeman out of hiding.

In 2023, Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows placed Ryan and Kevin as a shared entry (at #33 and #32) on his ranked list of ''General Hospital's 40+ Greatest Characters of All Time'', commenting "Arguably the ultimate good-and-evil-twin pairing, these siblings have been making the residents of Port Charles say, "Oh, brother!" since the early 1990s.

The same cannot be said for his lookalike cousin or, for that matter, any of the Eckerts who came to town in 1991. It was both ironic and weirdly appropriate that two years later, Bill would die in the arms of his newly returned cuz.". ==Jenny Eckert==

Sinclair, an adventure novelist with a penchant for cigars. In reality, Faison is the former employer of Anna Devane during her days with the World Security Bureau (WSB)'s rival agency, DVX. Also during this time, Faison often makes illicit deals with WSB head, Sean Donely, including one to destroy Anna's marriage to Robert Scorpio. Faison arranges for Felicia Scorpio-Jones to be abducted, in an effort to distract her husband, Frisco Jones. Faison, with assistance from henchmen Desiree and Jacquess, leads Frisco and Sean on a wild goose chase through his Parisian winery before allowing them to rescue Felicia. Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Robin Scorpio finds part of a crystal that Faison had been searching for, prompting him to trick Scott Baldwin into selling him Wyndemere Manor. Upon learning that Robin's mother is Anna, whom Faison has long been obsessed with, Faison tosses aside Desiree in order to pursue Anna. Faison's pursuit of the crystals soon becomes an afterthought as he becomes fixated on marrying Anna. She is reluctant to do so, until Faison threatens to expose her past to Robin. However, Anna is secretly conspiring with Sean, Frisco and Robert to bring Faison down, and they arrange for a man named Remundo to drive Faison away from Port Charles. A short time later, Anna and Robert about to remarry when Faison resurfaces and is revealed to be a member of the mysterious Cartel. In an effort to keep Sean and Paul Hornsby in line, Faison poisons Tiffany Hill and Susan Hornsby, while hypnotizing Robert and Anna. Along with Mac Scorpio and Bill Eckert, Robert, Anna, Sean, and Paul join forces to bring the Cartel down, while Faison escapes. Faison responds by sending his enemies threatening messages and abducting Anna, attempting to fool everyone into believing she had left of her own free will. Faison soon realizes that Anna will never be happy without Robin, and uses his mother, Sybil "Nanny" McTavish, to infiltrate the security that Robert has placed around his daughter. However, Faison's efforts are foiled by Robert and Holly Sutton, and he ends up accidentally shooting his mother while she attempts to protect Robert and Holly. Fleeing the country with Robert and Anna in pursuit, Faison is believed to have died in an explosion off the coast of Venezuela. In the summer of 1993, Faison appears on the ABC daytime soap opera Loving. Faison pursues Ava Rescott, who is in possession of a rare stamp that Faison covets. His ultimate pursuit ends at Universal Studios Florida where Ava is rescued by a mechanical King Kong. In 1999, Faison resurfaces in Switzerland under the alias of Herr Krieg, a jewel thief that Luke Spencer has been in cahoots with for years. Though Luke is aware of Faison's existence due to his involvement in Robert and Anna's presumed deaths, he had never seen a photo of him. After joining forces with Helena Cassadine, Faison spends nearly a year tormenting the Spencer family, as well as Felicia, and Mac Scorpio, Robert's brother. After abducting Lucky Spencer on Helena's orders, Faison allows Lucky's parents to believe he had died in a fire. After a failed attempt to murder Luke and Felicia, Faison is presumed dead when Helena arranges for an explosion on his boat. Faison resurfaces almost 12 years later alive, and is revealed to be the mastermind behind the abduction of Robin, as well as other heinous crimes earlier that year, including the presumed death of Jason Morgan. Faison has disguised himself as Anna's husband, Duke Lavery, in an effort to win her affection once more. It's also revealed that he also has Duke where he is holding Robin. Faison is unmasked by Robert, and taken into custody by Interpol. His accomplice, Dr. Liesl Obrecht, however, tries to kill Robin to cover for Faison, but ends putting Robert into a coma when he discovers his daughter alive. Dr. Obrecht later hands Robin over to Jerry Jacks, Faison's accomplice. In spring 2013, Dr. Obrecht comes to Port Charles, and is revealed to be the mother of Dr. Britt Westbourne. Soon after, it's revealed that Faison is Britt's father. It's later revealed by Britt that her mother was in love with Faison to the point of obsession, but he never cared about her or Britt when she was growing up because of his obsession with Anna. In Fall 2013, Faison and Obrecht are tasked by Jerry to watch Robin, Nikolas, and Britt while a cure to his poisoning is developed. Faison ends up taking Duke, Obrecht, Luke, and Robin prisoner, but in the end is defeated by Anna and Robert. Anna decides enough is enough, and she and Robert presumably kill Faison once and for all. Of course, it was later revealed in November 2014 that Faison had escaped death yet again. Anna and Robert had merely trapped him in a small dungeon hidden in Wyndemere, and he escaped nearly a year ago without either of them knowing. Faison is currently in cahoots with Helena, Jerry, Larry Ashton, and the DID influenced Luke Spencer. After he fled Port Charles, the PCPD is no longer looking for him. In late 2017, Obrecht revealed that Nathan West, her son, is the biological son of Faison. Faison returned to Port Charles in early 2018 after Janice Lomax's resignation as mayor of Port Charles and the PCPD resumed the search for Faison. Faison came after Maxie Jones, Nathan's wife, and held her hostage after supposedly shooting Peter August, her boss. Nathan came to save Maxie, but was shot and later died from his injuries. Faison tried to escape by taking Carly Corinthos hostage, but Jason shot him before he could escape. He was at the hospital, where Peter came to see him, and revealed that he was actually Faison's son, Henrik, whom Faison despised and neglected while Peter was growing up. Peter revealed he intentionally kept Jason alive so he would kill Faison and give Peter his revenge, and Faison had killed Nathan instead of Peter. The shock caused Faison to have a heart attack and die, while Peter looked on in delight. ==Paul Hornsby==
