Sam grows close to Jason Morgan during her pregnancy with the child of Sonny Corinthos. Now former co-star Burton (Jason) later explained: "It's been a long journey for Jason and Sam. When they first got together, it wasn't really supposed to be that they got together. He was kind of helping her out with her pregnancy. After that whole time they fell in love."

When the couple broke up in 2008, Monaco said to Soap Opera Digest,


 * "I feel Sam and Jason was so abruptly ended without any explanation, really, as to the coldness that was so one-sided [on Jason's part]. Of course, Jake came into play, but I felt like Jason and Sam were always strong enough to overcome."

Sam begins a relationship with Lucky Spencer to get back at Elizabeth. Monaco describes the progression of the relationship to Soap Opera Digest, "In the beginning it was very calculated and manipulative. Eventually, it turned genuine. [...] finally, she found someone who is trustworthy."

Kelly Monaco describes her character (2013)
 * "Sam is a fighter. She's going to put her walls up when she feels turned on or lied to or manipulated. It's her truth. Whether or not people can see that or accept it from her point of view, she's an injured bird, and she's just trying to stay alive."

Background
When Alexis was 16 years old, her father, Mikkos Cassadine, sent her to New Hampshire to attend an all girls boarding school, Briarton Griggs Academy. Alexis sees this as an opportunity to reinvent herself, so she dresses up, sneaks out of boarding school and goes to a bar, where she meets Julian Jerome (name revealed in 2013 as Alexis couldn't remember). The two have a one night stand and Alexis becomes pregnant. She never tells Julian about the pregnancy. When Mikkos hears of the pregnancy, he sends her to a clinic in Maine to have the baby and then forces her to give the child up. He later forges documents to make Alexis believe the child is dead, so that she wouldn't try to look for the daughter she gave up. Sam was illegally adopted by Cody McCall and Evelyn Bass, who choose adoption based on the fear of having another mentally handicapped baby like their first child, Danny McCall.

When Sam was three, Evelyn decided she didn't want Sam anymore and she no longer wanted to deal with Cody's con artist ways, so she took Danny and left. Sam was raised by Cody, who taught her how to salvage and run cons. When Sam was a teenager, Cody told her all about Evelyn and Danny. Wanting to confront her mother for abandoning her, Sam set out to find her and ended up in Bailey’s Beach, South Carolina. When Sam went into her mother’s house and began to look around, she was horrified to find her brother Danny chained up in the basement.

Using the skills she learned from Cody, she married five wealthy men in order to scam them out of their money, and provide a life for herself and her brother, Danny, but with each marriage she used an alias and therefore they were all invalid.

Franco locked Jason in a room with a single TV. He then went after Sam and made Jason watch while he took an unconscious Sam from the shower and laid her on the bed.

Franco then taunted Jason and covered up the camera, leading a furious Jason to believe that Franco had raped Sam. Eventually Franco lets Jason out of the room and he races back to the bungalow to find Sam still unconscious. When she awakes, Jason has to break the devastating news of Franco's attack to Sam and once the realization of the attack hits Sam, she breaks down in Jason's arms. When Sam and Jason returned to Port Charles, they each dealt with Franco's attack in different ways. Sam struggled with feelings of disgust and anger, while Jason began to experience extreme outbursts of rage. On December 12, 2011 Sam watches a DVD sent by Franco saying that she should be pregnant by now and it also said "we're going to be a daddy" meaning himself and Jason. On December 16, 2011 Sam is finally able to tell Michael about the rape and he could relate to being raped as a pawn to hurt Jason. Michael was able to help Sam begin to cope with what happened to her and start the healing process.

Sam finds out she's pregnant. When Jason returns home from killing Franco, she tells Jason that she is pregnant. They talk about the baby and decide to get an early paternity test done to determine who the father of the baby is. The paternity test results come back and show that the baby is Jason's child. Jason soon falls ill again and Sam is by his side while he has to get another surgery done to treat a cerebral edema. In the process of trying to save Jason's life, Robin Scorpio dies in a lab explosion and Sam keeps the news from Jason so as to not upset him, but when Jason does find out the truth, he and Sam get into a heated confrontation but later reconcile. Sam and Carly eventually have a bonding moment and call it a truce.

Sam then decides to find out the truth about the last DVD that Franco sent and her search for the truth led her to the Ferncliff mental institution and Heather Webber. From Heather, Sam learns that Jason and Franco are fraternal twins brothers. Knowing this could affect the paternity of her child, she decides to get another paternity test done. She obtains samples of Franco's DNA from John McBain, a former FBI agent that she had previously befriended and when the results of the second test return they show that Franco is the father. Sam is devastated by the results but finds the courage to tell Jason, who is equally as devastated at the news. Jason is also upset about the friendship between Sam and John. When Jason can't come to terms with the baby, Sam decides to move out of the penthouse to give herself and Jason some time to think things over. However she never gives up on them being a family.

On June 1, 2012, Sam goes into labor in John McBain's motel room during a torrential storm that prevents her from getting to the hospital. She gives birth to a baby boy, with help from John. John leaves to get Sam's car to take her and the baby to the hospital but is attacked by thugs sent by Jason. Meanwhile, Sam noticed the baby had some breathing complications and when John does not return, Sam tries to find a way to the hospital herself, but after stumbling upon a cabin and placing her baby in an empty flower planter for safekeeping, she passes out and is found by Todd Manning and Heather Webber. Todd is distraught over the death of Téa Delgado's newborn son Victor Lord III and upon hearing crying from outside the cabin, finds Sam's son on the porch. At the same time, Téa stumbles upon the cabin and sees Todd holding Sam's child, falsely assuming that the child is hers and she then proceeds to thank Todd for saving him. Heather convinces Todd to switch Téa's dead son with Sam's.

Jason finds Sam not long after and, while outside, discovers the dead baby in the plant potter, assuming it to be Sam's. He has to break the news to her that her son is gone and she breaks down in Jason's arms. Jason gives the child to her and Sam claims the baby isn't hers, but Jason says she's in denial from the grief. Jason then takes Sam to the hospital to recover. She names her son Jason Morgan, Jr. On June 8, it was revealed that the baby is truly Jason's biological son, not Franco's, and Heather switched the DNA results so that she could further her vendetta against Sam and Jason. When Sam finds out John was treated for injuries the night she gave birth, she realizes Jason had him beaten up. When Jason comes by and tells her he was ready to accept the baby, she yells at him for hurting John and for everything he put her through in the last few months. She yells at him to leave, saying their relationship is broken.

Sam moves in with Alexis to cope with the loss. On June 18, she buries "her" son next to her daughter, Lila McCall. Jason comes by the memorial, apologizing to Sam for what he did and asking her to come home with him because he wants to fix their marriage. Sam, still unable to forgive him and dealing with the grief, refuses. Sam goes back to work, to cope with the loss of her son. She finds out Spinelli is investigating Heather after she stole Olivia Falconeri's car the night of the storm. When Sam finds out Heather was hired by Todd at his newspaper after mysteriously firing Diane, she realizes Heather is holding something she knows about Todd over him, and is blackmailing him into getting her a job. Sam goes undercover by getting a job as Todd's assistant at his paper. When she and Spinelli break into Todd's apartment, she finds an article about her baby's death torn and crumpled up, and thinks that Todd knows something about her baby.

Sam finds a shoulder to lean on with John, who is depressed over finding out that his sister might have been killed because of him. The two share a kiss on July 4th, though they pull away and decide it didn't mean anything. The next day, Kristina convinces Sam to go talk to Jason to repair her marriage. However, when she does, she hears Steve Webber, Elizabeth's brother, say that Jason and Elizabeth kissed the night before. Sam comes in and asks Jason if it's true, and Jason confirms it and also reveals he saw John and Sam kissing last night. Though Elizabeth insists to Sam the kiss didn't mean anything, Sam realizes Jason has given up on their marriage because he's not wearing his ring, and lets him know Elizabeth is welcome to him.

Heather is brought in on the suspicion that she buried Anthony Zacchara's body. When she does, Sam tries to investigate by looking at her bag, only to get distracted by Maxie and have the bag taken away by Todd. Later, she tries breaking into Todd's safe, but keeps getting interrupted by visitors. Eventually, Jason comes by, and tells Sam he heard from Carly that she's now working for Todd, and asks her why. When Sam asks why he cares, Jason reveals that he still cares about her. She admits she's investigating Todd because she thinks he and Heather are keeping a secret about her baby. Jason also reveals that Todd came to the memorial service for "her son," but left before anyone saw. Sam reveals how she's trying to break into the safe, but keeps getting interrupted. Jason offers to stand guard when he hears this, which Sam accepts and tries to get into the safe. However, Todd comes back before she can get in, and Jason is able to distract him long enough for Sam to lock it. The two afterwards admit that it was fun to work together again, and are able to enjoy each others company for the first time since the "death" of Sam's baby.

Heather is eventually arrested after it's revealed that she kidnapped and shot Luke, drugged Olivia, and murdered Maggie Wurth. Todd then fires Sam and reveals he knew Jason was standing watch while she tried to break into his safe. When he asks why, Sam asks why he seems so concerned about her baby. Todd doesn't give her an answer, and she leaves. Though she and Jason started being friendly again, in August 2012, they decide to get a divorce. They share one last kiss, and separate.

Sam gets distracted from the divorce proceedings when Alexis is admitted to the hospital with a mystery illness. Jason also starts to investigate and works with John to bring down the culprit. They find out the perpetrator is Jerry Jacks, who tells Port Charles he has poisoned the water supply and will only hand over the antidote in exchange for a large sum of money. He also reveals that he gave Alexis and Josslyn the counter-agent to prevent them from being infected. Sam finds out that Todd has an unknown association with Johnny Zacchara, and believes whatever Todd is hiding, Johnny knows about, as well. She and John break into Johnny's office to see if there are any clues there. However, Sam becomes lightheaded and passes out, and John is worried she has been infected, and brings her to the hospital. At the same time, Jason is brought in by Elizabeth after being shot in the leg.

Thinking they're spending the last few hours of their life in the hospital, Sam shares with Jason the fantasy she had about how things would have turned out differently. In her dream, she decided that what Heather had to say wasn't important and walked out of Ferncliff. Sam went into labor during her baby shower, and gave birth to her son at the hospital. Afterwards, she and Jason decide to name the baby Daniel Edward, after her brother and Jason's grandfather. In her dream, they also had a daughter named Emily.

When Jason hears this story, he feels like Sam deserves some answers. So, Jason asks Patrick to take a look at the autopsy report, and clarify what happened. Patrick tells Sam and Jason that the baby died of respiratory failure, and had a serious blood condition called hemophilia. When Jason asks if he died because he didn't make it to the hospital, Patrick isn't sure they would have been able to help him. When Sam asks if her son would be alive if he had been placed on a ventilator, Patrick tells both of them he believes that even if the baby had made it to the hospital, he doubts the baby would have been saved because his lungs weren't developed properly. Sam and Jason realize it's not either of their faults that "her son" died.

Meanwhile, Kristina asks Sam if there is any chance she and Jason will fix their marriage. Though Sam hopes they can, when she goes over to Jason's house, she sees him kissing Elizabeth again. Sam goes to the Chinese restaurant where she and Jason got married on their one-year anniversary. Jason shows up soon after. Sam tells Jason she came there, hoping that things would get better somehow if she returned there. When the owner comes by, neither of them have the heart to say that they're getting a divorce. Eventually, they have lunch together, and Jason ends up kissing Sam afterwards.

Sam attends the bachelorette party of Kate Howard, Sonny's fiancee, with Kristina. There, she overhears Elizabeth telling Lulu that Jason and Sam's marriage is over, and he wants to move on with Elizabeth. Sam is heartbroken when she hears this, and delivers the divorce papers to Jason. When she comes over, though, Spinelli is there and tries to encourages Sam not to give up because there might be hope. On the night of Sonny and Kate's wedding, Sam decides to stay home. John shows up later, and the two of them kiss. The two of them stop and admit neither of them are ready for the next step. John leaves, and Elizabeth shows up soon after. She tells Sam that she & Jason are not together, and she was manipulating both of them to get a divorce so she could be with Jason. She also reveals that the day Sam came over and saw Jason and Elizabeth kissing at his house, Jason pulled away and told Elizabeth they don't have a future together. Elizabeth apologizes to Sam, and leaves.

After Elizabeth leaves, Jason comes to Sam's house, and she lets him know Elizabeth confessed the truth to her. When he asks what truth, Sam tells him that she admitted to manipulating both of them into getting a divorce. Sam realizes there's more to the story, and asks Jason. Jason begins to say he has something to tell her, but they are interrupted when Kristina comes home with Trey, and tells Jason and Sam that Trey's father, Joe Scully Jr., also Sonny's longtime enemy, tried to kill Kristina. When Dante comes over to get their statements, Sam is worried Jason will take care of Joe himself. She asks him not to, and call John instead, but Jason tells Sam that he's "busy." He gets a phone call, though, and leaves immediately.

Sam later tells Spinelli to come over, and asks Spinelli what Jason is keeping from her, even going so far as to physically threaten him. He does admit he and Jason were tracking something, but it turned out to be a false lead. Sam calls Jason, and Jason reveals he already knows they need to talk, because he's the one standing at her doorstep. He comes inside, and tells Sam that her son is alive. Jason tells her how he figured out that the baby she buried wasn't hers, and that her baby was switched with Téa's stillborn child by Heather and Todd. Sam is overjoyed to know her baby is alive, and leaves to go get her son from Llanview. Jason stops her and tells her the baby isn't in Llanview because he's been kidnapped by Heather, who was hired as a nanny by Téa for "her son." Sam is shocked, but Jason promises they're going to find Heather and get her son back.

Sam and Jason go to the hospital after Heather makes contact with her son, Steve, ends up attacking him. He tells Sam and Jason that Heather wants to raise the baby as her own and thinks a second chance at motherhood will fix her again. Sam and Jason hear a noise in the hospital stairwell. They find Olivia on the floor, injured. She tells them Heather is in the hospital with the baby. Sam runs to find her son, and Olivia points her to the roof. Jason goes with Sam, and they corner Heather on the roof, begging her to give them back their son.

Heather taunts them for not loving the baby because he's Franco's child, but Jason holds his ground, saying that he wants to be the child's father and raise him as his own son. Sam listens to Jason's heartfelt plea, and begs Heather to give her son back. When Heather, however, hears the police say they've surrounded the building, she becomes mentally unhinged and gets onto the ledge of the roof. She jumps off the ledge. Jason runs forward, though, and grabs the baby out of Heather's arms before she falls off the roof, saving Sam's son. Sam is overjoyed to have her son back, and thanks Jason for saving him. They go downstairs to get the baby checked out. Before they can, however, Téa intercepts them with Todd, and tries to take her son back. Sam stops her, and John handles the situation by having Dr. Britt Westbourne take Sam, Jason, and the baby to an exam room while he explains the situation to Téa. Dr. Westbourne determines Sam's son is in perfect condition, but will keep him overnight as a precaution.

After Dr. Westbourne leaves, Sam and Jason spend time with the baby. There, Sam tells Jason how she's happy and guilty, as well, because Téa now is finding out that her child is dead. Téa later comes by and tells Sam she knows that the baby isn't hers, and asks to say goodbye to "Victor," the name she called him by. When she gives him back to Sam, she thanks Téa for taking care of him before Téa leaves. Sam then decides to call her son the name she gave him in her fantasy: Daniel Edward.

The next day, Jason brings Monica over to introduce her to Daniel. Alexis, Kristina, and Molly arrive and become enthralled by Danny. When Alexis asks when Sam and Danny are coming home, Sam admits she doesn't have the right equipment to take Danny anywhere. Alexis then states that everything she needs has been ordered and will be waiting at her house when Sam and Danny come home, which Jason overhears. After they leave, he tells Sam that he was hoping she and Danny would come home with him. He promises to love her and Danny forever, and he really is ready to be a father to Danny. He apologizes for everything he's done, and Sam forgives him, and decides to take Danny home with Jason, as they officially reunite.

Jason and Sam come home to his penthouse and put Danny down for the night. Sam later notices a message on Jason's machine, which she plays. It's from Bernie Abrahms, who tells Jason frantically he has some important information to give him, and it's a matter of life and death. Though Jason wants his lawyer to handle it, Sam convinces him to go himself. Later on, while she's waiting for him, John shows up. Sam admits she belongs with Jason and has decided to stay married to him. John understands, and leaves. Sonny comes by and tells Sam that something happened at the docks. Bernie has been shot and killed, and Jason was also shot and fell into the water. He tells Sam that divers are looking for him, and he tried to, as well, but it's not looking good. Sam decides to go and look herself to find and bring Jason back. She convinces the coast guard to let her put on a suit and go into the water. She doesn't find Jason, but she does find the phoenix figurine, which she gave to Jason right before he left the house.

Sam, afterwards, refuses to believe that Jason is dead, and thinks he's alive, and he'll come back to her and Danny. After hearing about Jason, Todd felt that Sam deserved to know the truth and "helped" Steve and Olivia find the paternity test. Steve later brings it to Sam, and tells her Jason is Danny's biological father. Sam is ecstatic, and hopes she'll get to tell Jason. Jason comes by after Steve leaves, and she shows him the paternity results. However, he disappears afterwards, and Sam realizes that he was never there. As she cries with Danny in her arms, she wonders where Jason is.

Sam finds out that A.J. Quartermaine, Jason's brother long presumed dead, is actually alive and in Port Charles. On November 20, Sam gets a call from A.J. that Edward is bed-ridden and may not last much longer. She comes over with Danny and Michael. At Edward's bedside, she introduces Danny to him, telling him Danny was named after him. She also reveals that Jason is Danny's biological father, and promises Edward she'll raise the family to make him proud. Edward then extends his hand to Danny, who grabs his finger, to Sam, Michael, and Monica's delight. Soon after, Edward passes away.

Sam attends Edward's funeral with Danny, and later tells Spinelli she's not ready to say goodbye to Jason. Spinelli tells her he can't hold onto hope, like Sam has. Sam becomes the controller of 18% of ELQ Enterprises stock, after Jason inherits 12% and Danny inherits 6%. Tracy invites her over one day, and when she and A.J. start to get into an argument over ELQ, Sam realizes she has the power to decide whether A.J. or Tracy will become the CEO.

Alexis and Kristina come over during Christmas, and decorate Sam's house. Sam's not in the mood to celebrate, but Alexis tells her they're doing it for Danny. When Sam says she's busy with a case, Alexis realizes she's still searching for Jason, and tells her to not ruin Danny's first Christmas looking for Jason. Tracy comes by later, showering Sam and Danny with gifts in order to gain the 18% of ELQ stock. A.J. comes by with Michael, trying to do the same. Sam, fed up, makes a decision, and gives 9% to both Tracy and A.J.

After New Years', Sam finds out Todd was arrested for his part in the baby switch from Carly. John comes and reveals that he just arrested Cesar Faison. He tells Sam that Faison was disguised as Duke Lavery, and was trying to win the affection of Anna Devane, Duke's wife. John reveals that Faison was the one behind Kristina's attempted murder, trying to gain access to Sonny's funds through Kristina. He then tells Sam that Faison was the one who shot Bernie and Jason, and then kicked his body into the harbor, and watched Jason sink. He makes Sam realize Jason is gone, and not coming back. Sam cries in John's arms over her loss. She later meets up with John at Kelly's with Danny, meeting Monica to prepare a memorial for Jason. Monica hears from John about what Faison did, and agrees to help Sam plan a memorial.

After Monica leaves, Lucy Coe shows up, and calls John "Caleb Morley," king of vampires. She tries to threaten him to stay away from Danny. Lucy sees Sam and calls her "Livvie." Sam and John realize she's crazy, and leave with Danny. Lucy corners John, though, and stabs him. Alexis and Shawn Butler show up, and stop Lucy and call an ambulance for John. Sam goes with John to the hospital, where she stops Todd from escaping after getting beaten up in holding and brought to the hospital. Afterwards, she stays with John when he wakes up. She goes to check on Todd, and hears Diane reveal that Todd knew about Danny's paternity, and kept quiet about it. She tells Todd she hopes he gets what he deserves, and gets sent to prison. Later, she finds out Todd pleaded insanity and is being sent to Ferncliff.

Sam is there when Kristina is arrested for attempted murder of Kate, now going by Connie. While there, she comes across Alison Barrington, who calls John and Sam "Caleb" and "Livvie" again. She tries to get Sam to leave with her, saying her son is in danger, but Sam refuses, and Alison leaves. John looks Alison up, and finds there's no record of her having a son. Sam suspects Lucy sent her to back up her story, and goes to Ferncliff to find out. Sam confronts Lucy about Alison, but Lucy says she hasn't heard from Alison in years. She tells Sam that Alison was married to Rafe Kovich, and gave birth to a son named Rafe Jr. However, when Rafe was born, they realized that Caleb was actually the father of Rafe, and Lucy claims that is Alison in danger. Sam goes back to the station, and tells John what Lucy said, and is shocked when she finds out Alison is dead. John found Rafe standing over her body, and has arrested him. However, Rafe claims that John killed his mother.

Molly comes to the station, and tells Sam and John that she met Rafe, and doesn't believe he's guilty. Sam, meanwhile, tries to help John find out what happened. Meanwhile, Todd, Heather, and Lucy break out of Ferncliff, and Sam takes steps to make sure Danny is safe from Heather. Meanwhile, Rafe escapes from police custody, and John is implicated in the crime with damaging evidence. He's arrested, but Sam isn't convinced. She asks Alexis to represent John, and finds out John believes Lucy is right, and there's someone out there named Caleb, who looks just like him, and is committing these crimes. John says he was with Professor Jay Mosser of Port Charles University when Rafe was released. Sam goes to PCU to get John's alibi, but she finds Professor Mosser dead. She calls Anna, who realizes John couldn't have committed the murder because he was at the police station when Mosser died. Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from Alexis that Danny was kidnapped by Heather, and Anna is informed from the station. Sam is upset, but Anna gets a tip that Heather is at the pier, and Sam heads there with her. There, they find Todd with Danny.

Todd is arrested by Anna, but insists he was trying to give Danny back to Sam, not kidnap him. He also claims that John was there, and that he choked Heather and threw her into the harbor, then tried to take off with the baby, but Todd stopped him. Anna and Sam know his story doesn't add up. Sam begins to believe that Caleb does exist. When she tries to leave, she finds "John" standing at the pier, claiming he'd been released. Sam is scared and tries to leave, but when "John" blocks her way, Sam tells him she knows he's actually Caleb. Caleb claims to have known her for centuries, but Sam says she doesn't know him at all. She watches as Caleb backs her into a corner with Danny in her arms.

Caleb kidnaps Danny and Sam and brings them to Wyndemere. He bites Sam because he is convinced that after 3 bites she will remember that she is really Livvie. John, Lucy and Rafe arrive at Wyndemere and find Danny alone. Caleb brings Sam into the tunnels to avoid being found. While Rafe waits with Danny, Lucy and John search the tunnels for Sam. John finds Sam first but Caleb overpowers him and plans to kill him. Lucy comes in and the three eventually kill Caleb and escape. Later at the police station Sam tells the press that John, Lucy and Rafe saved her and Danny's lives. The three are released, as a result.

Rafe is placed into a group home, as a result of not having any family, and Molly is worried about him. Sam helps her out by calling the group home to check on Rafe. She finds out that he got into a fight, and left the home. She calls John asking for help, and finds out Rafe came to his motel room, not wanting to go back. Molly and Sam head over there, where John decides to take legal custody of Rafe. However, Alexis arrives and says Social Services won't allow it because John doesn't meet the legal requirements. Rafe leaves with Molly and Alexis, while Sam stays behind and consoles John over not being able to help Rafe. The two kiss again, but Sam once again stops it, and tells John she's reminded that when they first kissed, neither of them were free, and they'll never get past that. John agrees with her decision, and they say goodbye to each other.

Sam ends up helping in the Nurses' Ball being hosted and run by Lucy. While volunteering, she meets Anton Ivanov, the handsome dancer who is choreographing the opening number for the Nurses' Ball. Anton tries to encourage her to dance with him, but Sam won't give in. She ends up attending the Ball with Alexis, Molly, Shawn, and TJ Ashford. There, though, Anton tells her that his partner for his dance performance was injured, and asks Sam to step in. Sam agrees, and the two perform a dance number onstage, which the crowd thoroughly enjoys.

After the Nurses' Ball, Sam helps Lucy try to gain guardianship over Rafe by providing testimony at the hearing for Lucy's petition for custody. However, the judge denies Lucy's petition because of her recent issues with the law. Afterwards, Lucy, Alexis, and Sam are conferring about Rafe's situation when Lucy comes up with the idea of Sam becoming Rafe's legal guardian. Initially, Sam is reluctant to accept this, but Lucy later convinces her, and Sam comes to realize she can help Rafe. Sam and Alexis talk to the judge, who agrees to let Sam have temporary custody for 90 days, and Sam brings Rafe home with her.

Sam gets some investigation work from her late husband's best friend Carly Corinthos-Jacks regarding the disappearance and gambling ring scheme of Carly's son Morgan Corinthos. Sam goes to a hospital where Morgan was taken and sees a doctor who looks very similar to Stephen Clay. The doctor turns out to be Dr. Silas Clay, the older brother of Stephen. Silas is seemingly emotionless when Sam informs him about Stephen's death and Silas having a nephew. Sam talks to Spinelli about Spinelli's investigation concerning Lauren Frank and her encounter with Silas. Spinelli leaves and Sam receives a knock on the door. It's Silas, who has come to meet Rafe but she tells him its not a good idea, at that very moment Rafe walks and wants nothing to with him. At Kelly's, Silas gives Sam his petition for guardianship of Rafe. Sam is surprised and believes that he has an agenda. When Rafe finds out he lets Silas know he doesn't want to stay with him. Sam promises Rafe that she is going fight for him.

Meanwhile Franco reveals himself to be alive during a party he hosts at the Haunted Star. He uses Jason to lure Sam, Carly, Spinelli, Maxie, Sonny, Michael, AJ and Liz to the party. After revealing himself, he teases the party-goers with the idea of Jason being alive to keep Sonny from killing him. Then he announced the true intention of the party - he wanted to make amends. He revealed that he never raped Sam during Sam and Jason's honeymoon by showing them video footage of what really happened that night. He also showed another video showing that Michael's attack in prison was never his intention and went beyond what he wanted to happen. Nevertheless no one's attitude toward Franco thawed, because he had still caused lots of terror and pain, so Sonny and Carly begin planning a hit on his life.

In court, Silas trashes Sam and her late husband Jason, in order to make her look like an unfit mother, which infuriates her. While she is trying to ream out Silas, he examines Danny, despite Sam's objection and says he's sick. He tells her that she needs to take Danny to the hospital but she refuses and leaves. Later on, she decides to him in and gets his blood drawn. Patrick informs Sam and Alexis that Danny might have leukemia and on June 13, it is confirmed that Danny does have leukemia. Sam is hurt, as is the rest of her family, when Silas intentionally files for custody of Rafe, and is granted sole custody just as they find out about Danny's diagnosis. Silas wants to take Rafe back to Manhattan, despite everybody's protests. However, he later changes his mind and lets Rafe stay with Alexis while he goes to the hospital to help out with Danny's treatment.

Silas eventually is hired at GH, and takes over Danny's case. Danny doesn't respond to chemotherapy, and Silas tells Sam to look into a potential bone marrow transplant donor. Alexis, Molly, and Sam put together a potential list, reluctantly including Franco, as well. When Franco is admitted after getting beaten up, he has a seizure, and wakes up thinking he is Jason. Silas informs Sam, who goes to confront Franco. When he isn't there, she goes back to Danny's room, and finds him gone. Realizing Franco must have taken him, she goes to search for them. Sam finds Franco and Danny at her apartment, where she and Franco struggle over a gun, before he knocks her unconscious. Sam wakes up after being found by Silas and Carly. Silas brings Sam to the hospital, where she finds out Franco has a brain tumor that could be responsible for his behavior. Danny is eventually rescued by Carly and Dante, and brought back to the hospital. While talk about potential donors, Sam asks Alexis about her father, since he should be a potential match. Alexis admits that she met Sam's father at a bar when she was a teenager, but she doesn't remember his name and never saw him again. Sam finds out that Franco is a match for Danny, and prays for him to recover from the brain surgery to save Danny's life.

Franco makes it through surgery, but Patrick lets Sam know that he might have cancer within his body. Silas later confirms this, meaning Franco giving a bone marrow transplant could harm Danny further. Sam realizes the only option she has is her father, though he is unknown. She and Alexis ponder how to find him when they spot Dr. Kevin Collins. Alexis asks Kevin to put her under hypnosis to see if she can find out more information about Sam's father. Sam goes to the Crimson magazine office, looking for Connie. Instead, she finds Derek Wells there with Ava Jerome, the mother of Franco's daughter, Kiki. Derek tells Sam he's the publisher of Crimson and Port Charles Press now. Sam asks for his help to publicize a donor drive for Danny so they can find a match. Derek agrees to put it on the front page, which Sam is grateful for. However, he reneges on his promise later, telling Alexis he found a different story to put on the front page.

Alexis undergoes hypnosis and remembers that Sam's father's name is Julian. The headline on the Press reveals that Kiki is biologically not Franco's daughter, but Silas'. Sam finds out when Silas reads the article and sees his name on Kiki's birth certificate. Sam tells him to go find Kiki, while she and Alexis wait for people to come to Danny's donor drive. Eventually, Derek shows up and also offers to be swabbed as a potential bone marrow donor for Danny. Sam is ecstatic when Ellie Trout tells her that Derek is a match for Danny. Derek finds out he's a match, and agrees to the bone marrow transplant. Alexis talks with Derek afterwards about Sam's father and the circumstances under which she met him. Derek --- revealed to actually be Julian Jerome --- has a flashback and realizes he is Sam's father. "Derek" later meets Danny in his room, and has a hard time concealing his interest in being a part of both Sam and Danny's life. Julian gives a bone marrow transplant, and Danny recovers, to Sam's relief. Silas informs Sam of Danny's recovery, and in a moment of relief and happiness, Sam and Silas kiss. Sam deflects it, but Silas doesn't.

When Danny is getting better, Silas tells Sam that she can go on a dinner date with him as a way of thanking him. Sam agrees, though Alexis expresses her reservations. Kiki marries Morgan, and Ava throws a reception party for them. Silas asks Sam to be his date for the reception, but Sam declines. She later talks to Patrick about how she declined because she feels like she's betraying Jason. Patrick, who is dealing with losing Robin, makes Sam see that Jason would like her to move on, not stand still with her life because of his memory.

Sam gets dressed, and heads to the reception, only to find Ava and Silas kissing. She leaves, hurt, but Silas follows her. He tries to explain that Ava wants him back, and she told him that at the party. When Sam is still in disbelief, Silas tells her that Ava tried to make a point by kissing Silas to get him back. He pushed Ava away, and ran after Sam because he's only interested in her, not Ava. Sam is a little taken aback, but agrees to give Silas a second chance. However, Ava comes out of a corner, having heard their conversation, and tries to scare Sam off by telling her that Silas has dark secrets. Sam calls her bluff, wondering why Ava wants him back if Silas is dangerous. Ava backs off, and Silas and Sam leave, going back to the hospital, where they have a dinner date in front of Danny's room with takeout.

Sam is finally able to take Danny home, but Silas hangs around, helping them get settled in, and Sam makes visits to the hospital to see him. During a visit, Sam finds her mother running a DNA test on her against Lucas Jones, Carly's adopted brother, because she thinks Sam's father might be Julian Jerome. Sam agrees to the test, and finds out that Julian Jerome is her biological father, and Lucas her brother. Sam tells Alexis about Silas mentioning that Ava has a brother Kiki never knew about. She wonders if that brother might be Julian. Sam and Silas go to NYC to investigate Ava's past and the possibility that she may be Ava's niece. There, they find Delia Ryan, who confirms she was Victor's mistress and Ava's mother. Sam confronts Ava about this, though they remain at an impasse about Julian and her connection to the Jeromes.

At an art gallery hosted by Ava for Franco, Heather shows up and reveals that Franco is actually her son with Scott Baldwin. Sam is furious with Heather for ruining her life, and leaves with Silas. They end up kissing outside; however, when Sam notice Morgan and Michael leaving simultaneously, she goes back inside and finds out "Derek" is really Julian Jerome, her father. He also reveals that he's been targeting Sonny's business with Ava, looking to gain the territory. When Sonny threatens to kill him, Sam fears that killing Julian might kill Danny, as well. Ava and Julian jump on that, and Sonny lets Sam know that Julian is using Danny as leverage. When Sonny leaves and Julian confirms he won't get tested in case Sonny decides to kill him, Sam is furious and storms out with Silas. On NYE (on the show), Sam and Silas make love for the first time.

On Jan 1, Det. Nathan West tells Sam that Silas has a wife. She confronts Silas who confirms that he has a wife named Nina, who has been in a coma for over 20 years. Sam accompanies Silas when he goes to the clinic to see Nina. They are surprised when they arrive at the clinic and Nina is not there. Meanwhile, Nathan continues to build a case against Silas for attempted murder. Sam decides to use her investigative skills to help Silas clear his name. Nina's mother, Madeline Reeves, shows up in town after she learns that Silas tried to see Nina, and she tells them that Nina died.

Sam eventually convinces Nathan of Silas' innocence and they work together to find the person who was really responsible. They set a trap to catch the person and discover that Madeline was the one who accidentally put Nina into a coma because she was trying to kill Silas and Nina's baby. Silas is cleared and Madeline is carted off to jail. With this case off the table, Sam focuses on her own personal life and slowly starts to build a new relationship with her father. She is still hesitant to trust Julian, but decides to give him a chance to be in her life. Sam attends the 2014 Nurses' Ball with Silas and performs a dance routine with Molly, Maxie, Lulu and Kiki. On Danny's second birthday, Sam gathered with friends and family in the park to celebrate. Before the party even began, Nina showed up and revealed that she was alive. Nina explained what happened and Silas took her home. The next day, Sam, Alexis and Julian took Danny to Kelly's to celebrate his birthday since the first party was interrupted.

Sam starts to feel insecure and uneasy as Silas spends more time with Nina. Though Silas reassures her of his love despite Nina's return, she is unsure about the situation. Sam and Silas try to work on their relationship, and she even removes her wedding ring so he'd feel more secure, but soon they start to drift apart. Sam grows closer to Patrick as she supports him through the loss of his son, Gabriel. Due to a car accident, Gabriel was born premature and didn't make it. Sam decided to investigate who was responsible for the accident to help bring Patrick some closure. Her investigation leads her to discover that Rafe was responsible for the accident. When Sam and Dante found Rafe, he was trying to leave town because he knew they figured it out. Rafe sped off with Molly in the car, and Sam and Dante chased them.

Rafe and Molly crashed into a road block and were taken to the hospital. Molly was fine, but Rafe needed brain surgery. Patrick was the only neurosurgeon in the hospital and was forced to operate on Rafe, even though he just found out that Rafe was responsible for the accident. Patrick operates and tries to save Rafe, but he bleeds out and is left brain dead. Silas is furious and believes that Patrick killed Rafe on purpose. Patrick maintains his innocence and Sam believes Patrick and sides with him. Sam is heartbroken over Rafe's death. She was present in the room when the machines were turned off. She further laments not paying enough attention to him and realizing he was in trouble, when the truth about Rafe's drug addiction came out.

Sam tries to convince Silas of Patrick's innocence, but he doesn't believe her. Sam is angry when something she told Silas about Patrick in confidence, was leaked to the press. This information ended up getting Patrick fired. Silas denies leaking the information, which leads Sam to believe that Nina did it to further drive a wedge between them. Silas defends Nina and doesn't think she'd do such a thing. Eventually, Sam breaks up with Silas because he still has feelings for Nina. Sam wants to know who told the reporters about Patrick's struggle with his conscience, so she began investigating. She discovers that someone was eavesdropping when she told Silas about Patrick's struggle. She believes that Nina was the person eavesdropping and Patrick agrees to accompany her to the Crichton-Clark Clinic to get more information on Nina. They are successful in infiltrating the clinic, but aren't able to get any information.

Sam and Patrick start spending a lot of time together. They confide in one another and talk about their lost loves in Jason and Robin. Meanwhile, Molly remembers that Rafe told her that someone put him up to causing the accident. Patrick asks Sam to investigate who could have put Rafe up to it and she agrees. Sam works on the case, but hits a roadblock. She and Patrick go to The Floating Rib to unwind and share a friendly game of pool. They make a wager that the winner of the game can make a request of the other. Sam wins the game and teases Patrick about his beard before asking him to cut it as her request.

Sam and Patrick continue to investigate who could have put Rafe up to causing the accident. They share a flirtation and even a kiss as they grow closer. Eventually, they decide to put aside whatever is happening between them personally, so they can focus on the case. They hit a break in the case when Spencer Cassadine tells them that he thinks, Luke Spencer is responsible for causing the accident. Initially skeptical, Sam and Patrick follow up on what Spencer said by talking with Alexis, Anna, Dante, Lulu, and Tracy. Sam also goes to see Sonny to talk to him about Luke. She shares her suspicions with him and later they end up remembering Jason fondly, as it was his birthday.

Sam gets a lead from Tracy that Luke is in Amsterdam and she and Patrick makes plans to travel there. Before leaving town, Sam takes Danny to GH for his doctor's appointment. Danny gets a clean bill of health, but as they are leaving the check-up, he wanders into a John Doe's room. It turns out that this John Doe is Jason, who has escaped the clutches of Victor Cassadine, who kept him held prisoner for two years. After escaping Jason was hit by a car, which left him an unidentifiable John Doe in the ICU. Sam chases after Danny and finds him in the room with Jason. She tries to get Danny to let go of the "stranger's" hand, but he refuses. Elizabeth arrives a little while later and gets Danny to let go of Jason's hand by offering him candy.

Sam and Liz talk about the "John Doe" patient and his accident. Sam spends some time holding John Doe's (Jason's) hand and talking to him. She tells him that she doesn't know what it is about him, but she wants to see him get better. Right after Sam asks him to get better, Jason's vitals spike momentarily. Liz says Sam can stay with the patient while she goes to get his doctor, because Sam talking to him was doing him good. But Sam was unable to stay, because she had to go to Amsterdam. Liz leaves to get the doctor and Sam and Danny say goodbye to "John Doe," unaware that it was Jason they were talking to the entire time.

Sam and Patrick travel to Amsterdam and meet Tracy Quartermaine at a hotel. Due to a mishap with their reservations, Sam and Patrick have to share a room. Sam, Patrick and Tracy go over their plan and are set to meet Luke the next morning. Sam and Patrick plan to observe from afar while Tracy meets with Luke. They set up at a cafe, but when the time comes for Luke to show up, Jerry Jacks arrives instead. Sam, Patrick and Tracy confront Jerry and he reveals that he wants ELQ stock in exchange for Luke, who he claims to be holding prisoner. Jerry taunts Sam about Jason and his "death." Sam and Patrick warn Tracy not to trust Jerry, but she agrees to give Jerry as much ELQ stock as she can in exchange for Luke's life.

When Sam and Patrick arrive back in Port Charles, they fill Alexis in on what happened in Amsterdam and then she spends time with Danny. The night before Halloween, Patrick, Cameron Spencer and Emma Drake visit for Beggar's Night. Sam gives the kids candy and they invite Sam to go out with them. Sam doesn't have a costume, so they dress her as a tree to compliment Patrick who is dressed as a lumberjack. Sam and Patrick take the kids to Wyndemere, where they run into Maxie and Lucas who have Josslyn, and Nikolas, Britt and Spencer.

A few days later, Sam is terrified after a distorted lab result leads her to believe that his leukemia has re-emerged. Alexis immediately brings Danny to GH for more tests. Sam, Julian and Alexis were relieved when the tests came back negative to show that Danny is still in remission. It turns out that Madeline Reeves tampered with Danny's blood work to make Sam believe his leukemia was back. She knew Sam would call Silas, as he is Danny's doctor and she wanted to distract Silas away from Ava Jerome, so her daughter, Nina, would have the opportunity to steal Ava's newborn baby girl.

As Sam and Danny are leaving the hospital, Danny runs to his father and hugs him on his leg, as Sam chases after him. "Jake" and Sam come face to face and seem to have a moment of recognition. Liz introduces them and tells "Jake" that Danny visited him when he was unconscious in the ICU. Upon hearing that Sam's last name is Morgan, "Jake" brings up Jason Morgan and how he's heard so much about him. Sam tells "Jake" that Jason is her husband and "Jake" expresses that he is sorry for Sam's loss. Sam and "Jake" share another lingering and wondering glance, before Liz ushers him back to his room and Sam and Danny leave the hospital. Sam is visibly shaken by the encounter and has a hard time focusing afterward.

Jason and Sam next encountered each other at Elizabeth's house when Sam and Patrick went to drop Cameron back home after a playdate at Kelly's with Josslyn, Emma and Spencer. Sam arrives at the door just as Jason is opening it and they smile at each other. Elizabeth and "Jake" fill Sam and Patrick in on "Jake's" new living arrangements. The meeting is brief, but after Sam and Patrick leave, both Sam and "Jake" are again affected by seeing each other. After Sam's plans for Thanksgiving fall apart, Patrick invites her and Danny to spend the holiday with him and Emma at Elizabeth's. Sam takes him up on the offer and she and Danny spend Thanksgiving with "Jake" still unaware that he is Jason. At the holiday dinner, Jason holds his son again for the first time in two years.

Soon after Thanksgiving, Sam got the news that Faison had been arrested. She and Patrick went to the PCPD to confront Faison for killing Jason and ordering the crash that killed Gabriel. Faison revealed that Victor Cassadine was the one who ordered the crash, thus killing Patrick's son. This led to Faison revealing that Jason did not die the night he was shot on the pier and Patrick knew of it all along. Sam was furious and confronted Patrick, who admitted he knew Jason was alive at Crichton-Clark just months earlier. He then revealed to Sam the true reason that Robin left town -- to save Jason, but she failed and Jason died some months earlier. Sam was hurt by the news and furious that Patrick kept something like this from her. She promptly cut Patrick from her life.

Sam was left at the police station reeling. Meanwhile on the docks, Helena Cassadine was revealing to "Jake" his true identity. She also revealed that Jason had been brainwashed and conditioned while at Crichton-Clark to follow Helena's every order. Upon learning his true identity, the first thing Jason wanted to do was find Sam, but Helena prevented it. She wiped his memory again and ordered him to complete a job for her. Under orders from Helena, a masked "Jake" went to the PCPD to free Faison from custody. Needing a distraction, "Jake" grabbed Sam from behind at gunpoint and kidnapped her. He took her outside and forced the police to hand over the keys to the van Faison was in. Sam struggled and pleaded with Anna not to give into her kidnappers' demands, but after Detective Nathan West was shot, Anna gave "Jake" the keys and he let go of Sam, making an escape with Faison. When "Jake" returned to Helena, she once again ordered that he forget everything that transpired that night, meaning he would forget the incident at the PCPD.

Sam was furious the gunman helped Faison escape and she began searching for him. Sam encountered "Jake" at the Metro Court and he kept her company while waiting for a job interview with Carly. They joked, laughed and got to know each other better. Sam also filled him in on her investigation of the gunman's identity. Their time together went well, until "Jake" used the same phrase the gunman used the night before. Sam immediately recognized the voice and phrase and became suspicious of Jake. At that point, Sam made up an excuse to leave, cutting their time together short. Sam went to GH and shared her suspicions with Elizabeth, solely to warn her out of concern, but Elizabeth blew her off and told her to drop it. Sam then went to Dante with her suspect, but without enough evidence there was nothing he could do.

As Sam was leaving the PCPD, she encountered "Jake" again. Elizabeth told "Jake" of Sam's theory and he was there to clear his name. Sam and "Jake" had a charged confrontation in the hallway and she told him to his face that she suspected him. The confrontation ended with "Jake" giving her free reign to continue investigating him, but warning that she wouldn't find anything. Sam took on the challenge and let him know in no uncertain terms that she would continue her investigation. After Sam left, "Jake" began having flashbacks of kidnapping Sam, leading him to believe that she may be right and something else is wrong with his memories. The next day, Elizabeth went to Sam's house and told her to back off and stop investigating "Jake," but Sam refused because she knew "Jake" was the gunman and was determined to prove it.

Sam and "Jake" had another run in at the GH Christmas party. Elizabeth interrupted and accused Sam of harassing "Jake," but he quickly tells Liz that he was the one who approached Sam. Sam, then stopped the confrontation before it started because she didn't want to deal with the drama on Christmas Eve. Sam and Patrick made up during the Christmas party and she forgave him for his lie. Later, they shared a kiss underneath the mistletoe. They start eventually start a relationship.

Sam and Danny eventually move in with Patrick and Emma. Sam and Jake (Jason) team up to find out who he really is and Patrick proposes to Sam and she says yes.
 * -|2015-16=

Sam soon finds out that the man known as Jake Doe is actually Jason but he doesn't remember their life together and still plans on marrying Elizabeth. When Jason comes for a visit with Danny, Jason and Sam talk and they kiss but Jason still doesn't remember. A few days later, when she finds out Jason has gone missing she decides to go after him and they end up on Cassadine island with Helena, where they hope to get answers but they don't and before she dies Helena puts a curse on Sam. On Thanksgiving day, Sam overhears Jake telling Danny that Liz and Laura were keeping a secret about Jason, which intrigues her.

A few days later, Sam invites Jake over for a playdate with Danny. When Jason drops him off he lets Sam no that he intends to marry Elizabeth meaning they will need to get a divorce and Sam agrees. When Jason leaves, she asks Jake about the secret but he doesn't get much before he starts to clam up and Sam backs off. She does deduce that Elizabeth must have known that Jake was Jason before him or anyone else did. She then confronts Laura and she continues to dodge the questions. Jason comes back right before Laura leaves and then Jason and Jake leave and Patrick returns. Patrick finds out that Sam is stalling the divorce because she needs to know if Elizabeth knew who Jason was the whole time. Patrick and Sam argue but she eventually agrees to move forward with the divorce.

After meeting with her mom to discuss the divorce and talking to her about Elizabeth, she realizes that she can't let it go and goes straight to Elizabeth and confronts her. Since she has no proof, she starts bluffing and rattles Elizabeth. Jason walks in as things get heated and he tells Sam off and cruelly kicks her out. Sam goes back to Patrick, who has planned a special evening for her and tells him that she confronted Elizabeth and Patrick goes off on her. As the argument gets heated, Jason stops by and Patrick storms out. Jason wants to know what Sam and Liz were fighting about. She tells him that she is convinced that Elizabeth knew who he was before he did. He asks for proof and she mentions what Jake said Danny but Jason doesn't believe her. She tells him to look into her eyes and then go home and look into Elizabeth's eyes and he will know the truth. After that Jason leaves and then Patrick returns. After finally realizing that Sam has not gotten over Jason, he tearfully ends their engagement.

Sam tries to get Patrick to rethink his decision but she realizes that what he's saying is true so she takes off the ring and moves out. She ends up moving in with her parents. Days later, Sam is at the Nutcracker gala at the Metro Court, when she runs into Jason on the roof and he apologizes for being so cruel to her. On Christmas Eve, Jason runs into Sam and Danny in the park and has another memory flash when he sees Sam's star necklace. Jason and Sam have another chance encounter at The Floating Rib on New Year's Eve. They play a game of pool together, have some drinks and almost kiss before Jason is called away for an emergency with Jake. Sam later runs into Jason at the penthouse and he explains to her why he had to cut their time short on NYE. He also confides in Sam about another memory he had of her and the star necklace. Sam explains the memory to him and they grow closer. Later, Jason asks her out and they go to lunch together at Kelly's.

With Jason still facing legal troubles from his fight with Nikolas, Sam sets out to prove that he's innocent. She managed to track down a couple who were staying at The Metro Court that night and witnessed the altercation between Jason and Nikolas. They were initially hesitant but Sam convinced them to agree to testify to the fact that Nikolas was the aggressor in the fight, thus exonerating Jason of the attempted murder charges. Excited about the good news, Sam went to Jason's hotel room to share it with him. Elizabeth answered the door and upon seeing Sam, tried to make it seem like her presence there was something that it was not. Jason and Jake soon arrive back to the hotel room and Jason makes it clear that Elizabeth and Jake are staying there because someone is stalking their home. He also tells Sam that he is now staying in a separate room down the hall if she needs to find him for any reason. Jason goes on to thank Sam for helping to clear him and then asks for her help in investigating the alleged stalker.

Jake starts to pick up on his mother's hatred of Sam and blames her for his parents' break up. Elizabeth is angry and opposed to Sam helping with the investigation. Sam thinks Elizabeth doesn't want her help because she already knows who's behind the break-ins and is using the situation to manipulate Jason. Before it can get too far, Jason stops the confrontation and insists that Sam help because the sooner they figure out what's really going on the better it will be for everyone. On Jason's "birthday" aka the day he woke up from his accident as Jason Morgan, Carly insists on throwing Jason a birthday party. She calls Sam and orders a cake. Sam is hesitant about the party because she doesn't want to put any pressure on Jason about his past, however Carly insists anyways. When Jason arrives at the MetroCourt he isn't in a partying mood. Carly is upset but gets it and backs off. Sensing that something is bothering him, Sam heads out to the terrace to check on Jason and bring him some cake. While out on the terrace, Sam and Jason are caught in the rain and the rain triggers another memory for Jason.

Jason remembered dancing with and kissing Sam in the rain on the penthouse rooftop. This memory was different from all of the others because he remembered the feelings he had for her, which made the memory all the more real. Jason and Sam make their way back inside and he shares the memory with her. He also tells Sam that he remembers what he felt for her in that moment. He asks for more details, so Sam takes him to the penthouse rooftop and tells him about that night. Jason is motivated after their talk to pursue his memories further and tells Sam that he wants to recover his memories with her help. Sam encourages him to do what he wants, but sadly lets him know that she can't be the one to help him with this. Some of his memories are also her memories of their life, which make them extremely personal to her and she doesn't want to impact his progress with her expectations or hopes to which Jason is very understanding.

Sam continues to investigate the stalker and soon discovers that Jake is behind the incidents. She goes to the Webber home to talk about what's been going on with Elizabeth and finds Jake alone with the babysitter and a cut hand. He had just thrown a rock out the window and cut his hand on the glass. Sam goes to call his parents and assures him that everything will be okay, but he gets scared and runs into the basement. Sam follows him trying to calm him down, but loses her footing and falls down the stairs. Upon seeing Sam at the bottom of the stairs unconscious, Jake gets scared and runs away. While running away, he gets hit by a car and is taken to GH.

With Jake in the hospital, no one knows that Sam is missing and she stays trapped in the basement, unable to move and suffering from a concussion and mild hypothermia. Jason starts to realize that something is wrong after he gets a call from Alice Gunderson because Sam failed to pick up Danny from a birthday party. Jason learns from Kristina and Molly that the last time they heard from Sam, she was heading to Elizabeth's, so he goes there to search for her. Sam hallucinates Jason several times as she is falling in and out of consciousness. She plugs in an old heater to keep warm, but falls unconscious again just as the heater begins to emit sparks and smoke. Jason arrives at Elizabeth's house to find the smoke detectors going off. He searches the entire house and finally finds Sam in the basement. He picks her up and makes it out of the house just moments before the heater causes a major explosion and fire in the home. The force of the explosion knocks Sam and Jason several feet into the air just as they make their way out of the house. After a moment of unconsciousness for both, they wake up and Jason rushes her to the hospital.



At the hospital, Jason stays by Sam's bedside. When Elizabeth hears what happened, she fears that Jake pushed Sam down the stairs on purpose. But Sam assures her that it was an accident and Jake didn't hurt her. After she was treated, Sam also went to visit Jake herself to assure him that she was okay and he did nothing wrong. Jason continued to divide his time in the hospital between Sam and Jake. While at Sam's bedside he admitted to her that he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know her more and he's going to be better for her. After spending another day in the hospital Sam starts to get restless and misses Danny. She begs Jason to help her get out of there and he is initially hesitant, but eventually agrees.

Jason helps her sneak out but they are caught by Lucas, who eventually lets them go. They head to the Quartermaines to pick up Danny from Monica and then Jason takes them home to the penthouse. Sam, Jason, and Danny spend time together as a family and after Jason puts Danny to bed, Jason and Sam have some time to talk. Jason tells Sam that coming so close to losing her made him realize that he doesn't want to lose her and he now feels just how much they're connected. Sam thinks he is only there to help her as a friend, but Jason assures her that it's more than that between them and pulls her into a kiss. Jason and Sam start making out on the couch, but the complication of their situation stops them from taking it any further. Instead, they have an honest conversation about their relationship and the people they are now. Jason then cooks her dinner and they enjoy spending more time together before he is called away with news on Jake's condition. Jason returns to see Sam the next day and tells her that he and Elizabeth have to take Jake to Shriner's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia for treatment. He kisses her goodbye and promises to take her out when he gets back.

While Jason is out of town, Sam spends time with her family preparing for her parent's wedding. On the day of the wedding, everything goes off without a hitch until after the "I Do's." Landon Dixon storms into the church and takes everyone hostage after his gun shipment gets busted by Paul Hornsby, who was working undercover. Sonny saves the day after Landon takes Kristina hostage, revealing to everyone that he can walk and no longer needs his wheelchair. The day after the wedding Sam meets her parents at The Floating Rib to give them their wedding present -- a surprise honeymoon suite. They ask her if Jason knows what happened at the wedding, but she explains she didn't want to worry or distract him so that all his attention could be on Jake.

Jason finds out what happened at the wedding and immediately calls Sam to see if she is alright. He then asks her to bring Danny to Philadelphia, because he wanted to see them both and it would be good for Jake to see his little brother. Sam and Danny arrive and Jason is thrilled to see them. Jason takes Danny back to visit Jake, while Sam runs into Nikolas and talks to him about a case they are working on. After the visit, Jason and Sam discover that they are staying at the same hotel and Sam invites him to stop over to tuck Danny in. Jason stops by that night and Sam tells him more about her past and their past. When Danny is ready with his book, Sam reads him a bedtime story as he sits with his father and later falls asleep in his father's arms. Sam and Jason tuck him into bed together and later they fall asleep together on the couch.

Sam and Jason wake up in each other's arms. They kiss, flirt and tease about dreaming of the other. Their make-out session stops when they realize Danny is awake and they get up to tend to him. As Jason is leaving to return to his room, freshen up and head back to the hospital, they run into Elizabeth who sees him leaving Sam's room smiling. He explains that he came over to tuck Danny in for bed and stayed the night with them. Elizabeth tells him that Jake is being discharged and then leaves visibly unhappy. When Jason returns a little while later to invite Sam and Danny to walk over to the hospital with him, Sam declines stating that she doesn't want her presence to make Liz uncomfortable. However, Jason insists they come with him, because Elizabeth would just have to get used to the reality of their situation now. So, Sam and Danny accompany Jason to the hospital to bring Jake home.

After returning to Port Charles, Sam continues to investigate Hayden and meets with Baxter Corbin to find out more information. Jason calls Sam to meet him at the Metro Court Hotel, because he wants to share his news and give her a tour of his new apartment, but she's unable to go to see his place because she has to attend the reading of Helena Cassadine's will. When Jason leaves the Metro Court, he forgets his memorial plaque that he ripped off the wall of the Quartermaine crypt. After the will reading, Sam returns it to him and sees his new place.

Jason and Sam kiss and end up talking about their relationship. A delivery interrupts them and Sam is shocked that Jason picked out the same two photos for his new place that previously sat on the mantle of his old penthouse for years. They talk more about his memories and Jason expresses frustration that he can remember the small things like a photo, but not the larger more important things. Both agree they want to move forward in their relationship and Sam suggests getting a divorce. At first Jason is resistant, but Sam explains that she thinks a divorce would be best so they could start fresh without the pressure of the past and he finally agrees. They meet Alexis at Kelly's a few days later and sign the paperwork, finalizing the divorce.

Later that night, Jason, Sam and Danny have a family dinner at Kelly's, where they decide to go out on a date. Then they head to General Hospital to drop off Danny with his grandma Monica. While there they go to check on Tracy, who is having health problems. Jason begins to help Sam investigate Hayden's shooting and they visit Shawn Butler in Pentonville to try and get some answers. After visiting with Shawn, they put the pieces together and discover that Nikolas had Hayden shot to keep her quiet about Jason's true identity. Furious, Sam heads to Wyndemere to confront Nikolas and turn him in for attempted murder. Nikolas starts to man handle Sam in an attempt to stop her and Jason gets enraged. He attacks Nikolas and Curtis Ashford, who tries to break up the fight. Jason almost kills Nikolas, but Sam manages to talk him down and convince him to let Nikolas go for her. They head back to his place where Jason gets angry again upon seeing the bruises that Nikolas left on Sam. Sam tells Jason that she only cares about him and Danny and to not let Nikolas take any more time away from them. Jason kisses her and the two share a night of passion, making love for the first time in 4 years. In the morning, Jason and Sam cuddle and talk about their relationship deciding to start fresh instead of starting over. Their morning bliss is interrupted by Carly who shows up on his doorstep pleading with Jason to talk Sonny out of killing Carlos Rivera. Jason tries but is unable to get through to Sonny. He returns back to Sam who is still at his place and they spend the night together again.

Sam and Jason later confront Nikolas again and manage to blackmail him into selling them back all the ELQ shares he stole. Once ELQ is back in Quartermaine hands, Jason returns control of the company back to Michael. A few nights later, Jason and Sam spend the night together at the penthouse with Danny and Sam opens up, telling Jason what it was like when he was gone. Jake starts attending art therapy with Franco, which causes major issues with Jason because he doesn't want Franco around his son. After a heated confrontation at the hospital between Jason and Franco, Jason takes Sam out of town for a few nights to get away from the drama. A rainstorm forces them to take refuge in a barn for the night and as they start to make love, it's clear someone is watching them. After returning to town, the stalker continues to follow them. Sam and Jason catch onto him when they are in the park and realize someone is following them. It turns out to be Franco who was stalking them, although he claims otherwise. Jason threatens Franco and tells him to stay away from them and Jake.

In early May, Jason gets into a motorcycle accident. After this event, which included visions of Robin, Carly, Sam, Sonny and Helena, all of Jason's memories as Jason Morgan begin to get restored. He tells Sam that night and they go home together and celebrate. The next day at Sam's insistence, she and Jason go to the hospital, so he can get checked out. They later share the news with Monica, Sonny, Carly and Michael that his memories are returning. Later in the month, Jason and Sam attend the 2016 Nurses' Ball together. At the conclusion of the ball, Diane tells Jason that Nikolas is suing him and as a result of the lawsuit ELQ's assets were frozen. Jason heads off to Spoon Island to talk to Nikolas about the lawsuit. Sam follows a little later and when she arrives, she hears crashing. She catches up with Jason in Nikolas' bedroom and finds the room trashed, window smashed and a body on the rocks. Knowing immediately that Jason wasn't involved, Sam tries to help him figure out what happened. By the time they get down to the bank, the body they saw, who they assume was Nikolas, is gone.

Knowing that the PCPD would try to pin the crime on him once they got the slightest shred of evidence, Jason decides to figure out what truly happened to Nikolas. Sam goes with him to help him clear his name. Together, they figure out that Nikolas faked and staged his death. They track him and his unlikely companion, Ava Jerome to London and then Cassadine Island on Greece where they finally catch up with them. Just as they are about to force Nikolas back to the States to clear Jason's name, Laura Spencer, Kevin Collins, Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer-Falconeri arrive on the island, also in search of Nikolas. Sam and Nikolas' uncle Valentin Cassadine who has been hiding among the group using the alias Theo, makes his move and takes the group hostage in order to force Nikolas to sign over the Cassadine family heritage. He immediately separates Jason and Sam from the others, locking them in a room and using Sam to control Jason. Sam who has been complaining of fatigue and sleeping a lot, faints setting Jason off. Jason breaks out of his restraints to get to her and takes down the guard who was watching them. Once she awakes and reassures him that she is okay, they head down and free the others of Valentin's guards. All except Nikolas, who is once again presumed dead after a confrontation with Valentin.

The group plans to escape the island and find an old jet. Jason and Dante manage to pilot the jet, but Valentin tampered with the fuel tank and they are forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby island. Jason stays behind to try and shut off the engine and prevent an explosion while the others escape. The plane explodes anyways, but Sam is insistent that Jason survived and is determined to go after him. Dante tries to reason with her, but she is steadfast in her determination to find him, before she faints again. Soon after she comes to, Jason finds the group and reunites with Sam. They build a fire to signal the cost guard and are finally rescued from the island.

After returning to town, the charges against Jason are officially dropped and Sam and Jason reunite with their son. Sam confronts her father over his attack on her mother's life. Sam cuts him out of her life and after their heated confrontation, she faints again on her way out. She is taken to General Hospital and examined by Dr. Hamilton Finn. Sam assumes she contracted some sort of illness from the island and is shocked when Dr. Finn returns and tells her that she is pregnant. After the news sinks in, Sam is thrilled to realize that she and Jason are expecting another baby. Jason comes to the hospital concerned after he learns that she was admitted. She is about to tell him about the baby when he starts to feel ill. Dr. Finn examines Jason and believes he has contracted malaria. The doctor tells Sam that since she was with Jason in Greece, she would need to be tested as well. If she contracted malaria, it could cause complications for her pregnancy. Sam and Jason are both tested and the results of both their tests show no signs of malaria, however, Dr. Finn runs a second test to be sure. Meanwhile, Jason can tell that something is wrong with Sam and he tries to get her to open up. Sam wants to tell him about the baby but wants to make sure that everything is okay with both her and the baby before doing so.

The following day, Jason is released from the hospital and he and Sam go home. Jason notices that something is off and that Sam is worried about something. He starts questioning her a little bit and says he can tell there's something that she isn't telling him. He also tells her that they both know they are stronger together than they are apart. He eventually agrees to back off and asks her to admit that something is wrong. Eventually, Sam relents and tells Jason that she is pregnant and Jason is ecstatic. He proposes to Sam again and she accepts. Later, they get a call from Dr. Finn telling them that both tests conclude Sam and the baby are malaria free.

Sam and Jason then turn their attention toward planning their wedding. Jason asks Sonny to be his best man and Sam asks Alexis to be her matron of honor. Sonny and Alexis both happily accept. Carly offers to plan and host the wedding at the Metro Court Hotel, but neither Sam nor Jason want anything extravagant. So, Carly offers to host the wedding at Greystone Manor instead, to which Jason and Sam both agree. Molly and Kristina also help Carly plan the wedding. Jason and Sam spend their pre-wedding night together at the Metro Court and make love. On the day of their wedding, Jason surprises Sam with Spinelli, who has flown in from Portland to officiate. Jason and Sam are remarried on September 6, surrounded by their closest friends and family. In attendance were; Danny, Jake, Sonny, Carly, Michael, Alexis, Kristina, Molly, and Spinelli. Monica was unable to make it due to a crisis at the hospital.

Soon after remarrying, Sam and Jason are thrust into pressing situations concerning their parents. Sam was there to support her mother during her father's trial and Jason supported and stood vigil by his mother after she was attacked by the General Hospital killer. While Monica is unconscious, Jason shares the news that he and Sam are expecting Baby Morgan, which inspires Monica to fight and she soon wakes up. Sam and Jason also work hard to stop the impending mob war between Sonny and Julian, but neither man is too keen on listening to their reasoning.

The brewing war comes to a head when Morgan Corinthos is presumed dead after a car bomb went off in Julian's car, which Morgan had stolen. Jason and Sam support the Corinthos family through the loss of Morgan. Jason and Sam begin looking into what really happened the night of the car bomb. During their investigation, Jason shares with Sam his desire to move his family to another city. He no longer wanted his family around all of the violence in the city, so they made plans to revisit the topic of moving to another city once they wrap up their investigation. Jason and Sam team up with Curtis Ashford, who was also investigating the bomb. Jason, Sam, and Curtis discover that Sonny was not responsible for the bomb, but someone who wants to eliminate both Sonny and Julian is.

Sam and Jason spend Christmas Eve together in the park with Danny. As a family, they also visit Sonny and Carly and spend some time with Michael, Kristina, and Avery before heading to General Hospital to visit with Monica and hear the traditional Christmas story reading. On New Year's Eve, they plan to attend the wedding of Nathan West and Maxie Jones, but the wedding gets postponed when Maxie gets sick and it is revealed that Nathan is still married to Claudette. So instead, they go to the NYE party at the Metro Court to see Carly. They also spend some time catching up with Robin, who was back in town for Christmas and the wedding.

On February 28, after being pushed off a bridge by Olivia Jerome, Sam gives birth to her daughter, Scout Cain, with "Jason's" help.

Later in the year, Sam starts having hallucinations of Sonny telling her that Jason belongs to him and that her family won't be safe. In July, Sam confronts Sonny at the distillery and holds him at gunpoint. Sonny tries to talk her down, but Sam shoots him in the leg and kicks him into a dumpster. She then disposes the gun and returns home, where she collapses in front of Jason. At the hospital, Sam diagnosed with Toxoplasmosis and it's revealed that she got it after Olivia pushed her off that bridge the day Scout was born. Luckily, Scout didn't have the disease. Meanwhile, Sonny is saved by Carly and at the hospital, Sam talks to him about the shooting. Sonny accepts the fact she had toxoplasmosis and forgives her. He and Jason also plan to hide the fact Sam shot him, but Sam ends up telling the truth to Carly, who also forgives her, but gets mad at Sonny and Jason.

On August 29, Sam followed Jason to a mob meeting after he went back to check on Sonny. She ends up walking in on Sonny and Jason trying to tell one of Sonny's rivals to let Max go. Once Sam is spotted, Sonny tries to tackle the mobster, but he's pushed aside and the mobster fires a shot at Sam. Jason is able to push Sam out of the way, but he gets shot instead. After Sonny kills the mobster, Jason is rushed to GH, where he falls into a coma and wakes up nearly a month later.

In October, after fully recovering, Jason and Sam take control of Julian's media company and at a party at the Metro Court, they renamed it Aurora Media. However, the party was stormed by two gunmen who took everyone hostage. One of the gunmen accidentally shot Elizabeth while aiming for Dante. Sam managed to distract the other one, allowing Jason to tackle him. However, the one who shot Liz takes Carly hostage, but Sonny comes to the rescue and Dante arrests both gunmen. Jason then rushes Liz to the hospital, but unbeknownst to him, Sam is abducted by a third gunman and someone flies in through the skyline to pursue them.

The skyline man pursues the gunman and Sam to the pier, shoots his associate, and demands the gunman to let Sam go. The gunman injects Sam with a drug and throws her into the harbor before escaping. The man soon jumps into the water and rescues Sam, who regains consciousness and sees that the man looks like how Jason used to look like before. After thanking him for coming back, she falls back unconscious. The man takes Sam in his arms and brings her to Sonny's house, where Sonny, Carly, and Jason are all stunned by the arrival.

On December 1, it was revealed that the man everyone thought was Jason, was actually his twin brother, Drew.

In January 2018, Jason and Sam got divorced, and they married Drew. In early March 2018, in the aftermath of the Port Charles, she revealed her feelings to Jason that she really loves her, then she told Drew week later, she had feelings and love for Jason, which means her marriage to Drew is over by dumping him. In May 2018, Sam and Curtis started their P.I. company called McCall & Ashford. In October 2018, Sam finally become lovers with Jason again, after divorcing him nearly 9 months ago. After Kristina tells Jason and Sam that she is moving into the DOD house, they are skeptical and she invites them to meet Shiloh, who runs DOD. Jason already knows him because they ran into each other earlier when he thought Jason was Drew.

After being separated for almost 2 years, Jason and Sam finally get back together after Jason almost drowns in the pier. They finally have sex and they are ready to get back together until Spinelli tells Sam what he found out about Shiloh and Dawn of Day. Sam tells Jason that they can't get back together because she has to get closer to Shiloh and get him away from Kristina. Jason goes along with it. Sam first begins by pretending to believe the DOD philosophy that Christina tells her and she begins to work closer to Shiloh. Shiloh later brings Sam to a lighthouse where he had his vision for Dawn of Day and how he mad his philosophy. Jason followed them and he is caught when he falls down the stairs due to him going unconscious and going blind The same thing happened to Drew Cain, which resulted in him hitting Jordan Ashford with his car.

After Shiloh tells Daisy that Kristina is more important to him than her, she goes to Sam to apologize to her for blackmailing her. Sam accepts the apology and notices the tattoo on her lower back. Daisy gets weird and tells her that it was a stupid thing she did when she was younger and she leaves abruptly. Sam sketches the picture and sends it to Spinelli to do research on it. He can't find anything but it is later revealed that Willow Tait and Harmony Miller have the same tattoo as well. Willow later reveals that she was able to escape DOD and that she has a kid with Shiloh, but that baby died the same day when Brad Cooper and Lucas Jones adopted him. Brad had switched this baby with Michael Corinthos and Nelle Bensons baby. Willow tells Chase and Michael what Shiloh Gets the girls of the trust to drug new initiates, tattoos them and then he has sex with them.

Kristina finally is able to have her ceremony in the trust but it is stopped by Jason and Sam. Christina was drugged by Harmony and Daisy, but Jason got her out of the house before they could tattoo her or Shiloh could have sex with her. She is brought to a safe house and begins their work to get her away from Shiloh. Christina admits that she gave Shiloh a pledge that would incriminate someone she loves. Everyone assumes that she said something about Sonny but it is actually about Alexis. This causes Sam to stay involved with DOD and keep the scheme going. Jason and Spinelli bug the attic in the DOD house to catch Shiloh in the act.

Sam brings Shiloh as her date to the Nurses ball and when it is over he tells her that he wants to do her initiation ceremony for the trust that night. Sam agrees and when they get there she gets drugged and Shiloh finishes the tattoo on her back. He then brings her to the lighthouse. He is about to rape Sam and Jason pulls him off of her and throws him down the stairs. When Shiloh wakes up at GH Sonny tells him he shouldn't have messed with his family and that he needs the pledge Kristina gave him. Sam comes into the room later and she tells him that it was all an act and that he lost. Jason tells him that he needs to tell him where the pledges are or he will make sure that when he does go to jail he will kill him when everybody forgets about him. Shiloh complies and Jason and Sam go to the lighthouse where the pledges are hidden. Jason and Sam find kristinas pledge as well as a surprising pledge from Margaux Dawson. Jason gives that pledge to Sonny and Sam gives Kristina her pledge. She burns the pledge.

After Shiloh finds out Willow has a child, Julian worries that Brad and Lucas could lose Wiley. He goes to Sam and she wants to help out because she doesn't want that baby anywhere near Shiloh. Sam disguises herself as Willow and she gets the adoption records out of the public eye so that Shiloh is not able to find them.
