Scout Cain (Ella Ramacieri)

Baby Morgan will be a fictional character on the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. He or she will be the child of former mob boss, Jason Morgan and his wife, Sam Morgan.

He or she is due in the Spring of 2017.

Background
Baby Morgan was conceived in June of 2016 in London, while his or her parents were on the run from the law. While in Greece, Sam experiences fatigue and dizzy spells that lead to her fainting twice. After returning home to Port Charles, she faints again after a confrontation with her father and is admitted to General Hospital. Dr. Hamilton Finn examines her and takes her blood to run tests. A little while later, he returns with some of the blood results, which confirmed the pregnancy. Sam is elated and can’t wait to tell Jason. When Jason arrives at the hospital, he is happy to see that Sam is okay, but before she can tell him about the baby, he has a dizzy spell. Dr. Finn examines Jason and discovers that he has a 102° fever and might have contracted malaria (he did contract it but was treated and cured) from being in the Mediterranean. Since Sam was also there, she was tested as well, because if she had contracted the disease, it could cause complications for her pregnancy. As a result and out of fear, Sam puts off telling Jason about the pregnancy for a little while.

On August 15, Sam tells Jason she's pregnant and he's elated. The first and second tests for malaria come back negative, reassuring Sam and Jason that she and the baby would be alright. Like her pregnancy with Danny, Sam experienced a lot of morning sickness and also had some cramping as well but was hospitalized this time around. On October 21, Sam and Jason felt baby Morgan kick for the first time. On October 25, Sam and Jason tell Danny that they are having a baby and that next spring, he will be a big brother. Danny is excited and nicknames the baby, Scout.

Baby Morgan, like his or her older brother, Danny, is seen as a miracle child because in May of 2006, Sam was shot in the back, by Manny Ruiz, while in Jason's arms. She recovered after a month-long stay in the hospital; and later, she and Jason tried to start a family only to be told that she would never be able to have children as a result of the extensive damage done to her uterus from the gunshot wound. However, in May of 2011, Sam underwent a procedure called fertility reconstruction; the surgery was a success, allowing her to carry Danny to term. When she was revealed to be pregnant with baby Morgan, she told Jason that after the fertility reconstruction and carrying Danny to term, the doctors didn’t know if she would ever be able to conceive again (without fertility treatments ).

Danny Morgan and Baby Morgan will be the first full siblings born on General Hospital in over 20 years; the last being Maxie and the late, Georgie Jones, daughters of supercouple Frisco and Felicia Jones, born in the 1990s.
