Leo Falconeri

Leonardo "Leo" Falconeri is a fictional character on the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. He is the son of mob boss, Julian Jerome and Olivia Falconeri and the legal son of Ned Ashton.

He is also the product of a one night stand between two people who hate each other. He was born at the Metro Court Hotel just after midnight.

Lisa LoCicero, who plays Olivia, was pregnant with a little girl during this time so her pregnancy was written into the show.

Background
Leonardo Falconeri was conceived on just after midnight on New Year's Eve at the Metro Court Hotel. Julian and Olivia were both very upset about Ned Ashton and Alexis Davis being together on New Years instead of with them. They get a room and play cards. Then, they end up sleeping together. When Olivia woke up the next morning, she is mortified that she slept with Julian and leaves his room as fast as she can.

On February 13, (Valentines Day on the show), Olivia finds out from the doctor that she is pregnant. She tells Ned right after. A few days later, Olivia tries to convince Ned that she was lying, but she eventually tells him that she wasn't, she just doesn't want Julian to know because she doesn't want her kid to grow up in his world. Ned tells her that he will do anything he can to help her.

When Olivia and Ned go to the hospital for an appointment when they run into Julian and Alexis and Julian finds out that she is pregnant and asks if he is the father. Before Julian can get answer, Ned steps in and says that he's father. Julian believes Ned's story but Alexis is a little skeptical because Ned did the same thing for her with Kristina.

At the Metro Court Hotel, after the Nurses' Ball, Sam and Patrick confront Ned and Olivia about Julian being the father of her baby and Olivia begs her not to tell Julian right as he and Alexis walk in. Julian asks Sam what's going and she has no choice but tell him the truth. Right after Julian finds out, Olivia goes into labor. Patrick checks her and finds out that she is to far along to deliver at the hospital, so she much deliver at the Metro Court. When the baby is born, Sam announces that it's a boy.
