Quartermaine family

The Quartermaine family is a fictional family on the American soap opera General Hospital. Edward Louis Quartermaine is the patriarch of the family, and his wife Lila Morgan Quartermaine was the matriarch until her death in 2004. The family came to Port Charles in 1978 when their son Alan decided to stay at General Hospital as a physician and bought what is now known as the Quartermaine Mansion for his new wife Monica as a wedding present. She has ever since drilled it into everyone's head when the opportunity presents itself that she is the owner of the house; which is usually followed by a reiteration that Alan gave it to her.

Edward is the son of George and Ida Quartermaine, and the grandson of Edgar and Martha Quartermaine. Lila is the daughter of Harold Morgan. They have two children together: son Alan, who died in 2007; and daughter Tracy. Edward also has a son with mistress Beatrice LeSeur, Jimmy Lee Holt. In 1994, it was revealed that Edward also has a son, Bradley Ward, with his mistress from World War II, Mary Mae Ward. Bradley had died in 1974. Tracy named her son Edward after her father, and both Skye Quartermaine and Sam McCall named their daughters Lila after Lila Morgan Quartermaine.

Bradley was married to Isobel Ward at the time of his death in 1974. The couple had three children: son Justus, who died in 2006; daughter Faith; and another daughter whose name has never been mentioned on air.

Alan James Quartermaine, Jr.
A.J. struggled with alcoholism throughout his adult life. He had a one-night stand with Carly Benson, and was too drunk to remember it. This resulted in their son, Michael. Carly lied and said that Michael was actually Jason's son. When Michael was born, Carly left him in Jason's care. After Carly came back to town and Michael's true paternity was revealed, A.J. and Carly married and shared custody of Michael with Jason. Carly then began having an affair with Sonny Corinthos and became pregnant with his child. In a fight with A.J., Carly fell down the stairs at the Quartermaine Mansion and miscarried the baby. The two then divorced and Carly later married Sonny. Sonny later forced A.J. to give up parental rights of Michael so that he could adopt him. From there on out, A.J. spent the rest of his life trying to regain a relationship with his son. In 2005, A.J. was smothered to death by Dr. Asher Thomas while he was lying in a hospital bed with a broken back. A.J. had been blackmailing Dr. Thomas with attempting to kill Jason years earlier on A.J.'s request.

Jason, born Jason Moore and raised Jason Quartermaine, was the golden boy of the Quartermaine family while he was growing up. He was going to become a doctor like his father and adoptive mother, but that all changed. A.J. drove off in a drunken rage one day and Jason got into the car to try and stop him. A.J. crashed the car, and Jason suffered permanent brain damage and memory loss. He eventually moved out of the Quartermaine Mansion and changed his last name to Morgan, to honor his grandmother Lila, whose maiden name was Morgan. He met Sonny Corinthos and began working for him in his mob. He also met Carly Benson and became good friends with her. When Carly discovered she was pregnant by A.J., Jason agreed to say that he was her child's father to keep him away from A.J. Carly left when the baby was born and Jason became the boy's legal father. He named him Michael and took care of him until Carly returned. Michael eventually went to live with his mother Carly and adopted father Sonny. Jason later started dating Sonny's half-sister and his brother A.J.'s (thought-to-be) ex-wife Courtney Matthews. They became engaged and Courtney got pregnant and suffered a miscarriage.

In 2004, Jason agreed to say he was the father of Sam McCall's unborn child. The baby's father was actually Sonny, but Jason wanted to protect Sonny's marriage to Carly.

Jason and Sam were then going to adopt a newborn baby they named Hope, but the baby's biological grandmother came to town and took custody of her. In 2007, Jason finally had a biological child, Jake, with Elizabeth Webber. Jason and Elizabeth had had a one-night stand while she was married to Lucky Spencer.
