Finally, on April 17, 2012, TVLine reported that actress Lindsey Morgan had been cast as Kristina and would make her debut on May 25, 2012.

Morgan explains during an interview that she was unaware what role she was auditioning for as only a vague character description was released instead of the character's name. The producers put Morgan through a chemistry test with her potential on-screen parents, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), which was something that hadn't been done in years.

According to posts on Twitter by Morgan and Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis Davis, Morgan's role as Kristina is contract.

However, on March 26, 2013, almost a year after Morgan debuted as Kristina, Lindsey announced she had been let go from the series. Morgan announced via Twitter that "my time in Port Charles has come to an end."

On September 28, 2015, Frank Valentini posted a Vimeo video on Twitter that showed Lexi saying that she was looking forward to spending more time in Port Charles.

In 2017, she brought home her first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress for her gay/bisexual storyline.

Characterization
With the SORAS aging of Kristina in 2009, Kristina is initially introduced as a bit of a wild child.

Kristina's trouble making ways during her first few months as "Kristina" are described as "phase". She often throws caution into the wind just to defy her parents because of how she grew up.

However, several major events in her life, including causing her step-mother, Claudia's (Sarah Brown) car accident and miscarriage facilitate a character transition and Kristina morphs into somewhat of a "good girl".

The vague 2012 casting call described the character as "soulful, but fiery." New comer Lindsey Morgan describes Kristina as having the perfect blend of qualities from both of her parents.

Background
Kristina was formerly believed to have been the daughter of Alexis Davis and her then-fiancé, Ned Ashton. Alexis was working for mob boss Sonny Corinthos at the time and the two slept together once in April 2002 and conceived Kristina. When she learned she was pregnant, she tried to pass the child off as Ned's. Though he knew the truth, Ned agreed to pretend he was the father to keep the baby safe. The paternity test was even tampered with to make Sonny believe Ned was the father.

In 2016, her brother, Morgan was killed in a car bombing.

Through her father's marriage, she gained Carly Corinthos as a stepmother.

Storylines
Kristina was born onscreen on November 19, 2002. Alexis went into early labor in the park and is rushed to the hospital by Cameron Lewis, where her water breaks and she is forced to deliver a very premature baby girl with Ned Ashton by her side. Kristina is named after her mother's late sister, Kristina Cassadine. After her birth, Ned still pretends to be her until Kristina comes down with a life-threatening illness and Alexis is forced to reveal the truth to Sonny. Kristina eventually overcomes her illness when she is given the stem cells of Sonny's stillborn daughter with Sam McCall; Sam would later turn out to be Alexis' long lost daughter. Though Alexis initially goes out of her way to keep Kristina away from Sonny and his violent world, and after a court battle Alexis and Sonny agree to share custody of Kristina but she would live full time with Alexis and Sonny would be allowed to see her when ever he wanted. Kristina is officially christened as Kristina Adela Corinthos-Davis on December 24, 2004 with Ric Lansing and Carly Corinthos as her godparents.

In March 2005, Kristina and her siblings, Michael and Morgan are kidnapped by A.J. Quartermaine (then Billy Warlock), but Kristina and Morgan are rescued by Jason and his then girlfriend (now wife and Kristina's sister), Sam McCall, while Michael was presumed dead for awhile. In 2006, Kristina briefly lives with Sonny and Carly after Alexis is diagnosed with cancer. In November 2006, a young Kristina sees her sister, Sam shoot and "kill" Diego Alcazar. Kristina was frightened to death and for a little while wouldn't let anyone touch her but Sam and she also went into a trance like state for weeks (she wouldn't talk). She breaks her silence when she wishes Alexis a Merry Christmas. Kristina goes silent again when she sees Diego Alcazar actually alive which reveals that he is the Text Message Killer. Kristina is approached by Anthony Zacchara as a way of scaring Sonny and finding leverage. In 2008, after Kristina's older brother, Michael is shot and rendered comatose after an attempt on Sonny's life, Alexis reinforces Sonny staying away from their daughter after the Metro Court Hotel hostage crisis.

A 15-year-old Kristina returned to the canvas of General Hospital in June 2009, "diagnosed" with Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome after being absent for an 11 month period which had begun in August of 2008. Since her return, Kristina proved to be very manipulative and out of control; her escapades have included dating an older boy, driving without a license, going to clubs and even smoking marijuana, all because of Sonny's absence during her childhood and Alexis' overbearing attitude and high standards. She reconnected with and helped her brother, Michael Corinthos, who had just woken up from a coma. She also starts spending more time with her father and his new wife, Claudia. Kristina discovers her mother's affair with then mayor Garrett Floyd and has to adjust with all the media's interference. She also helps her sister, Molly Lansing understand and cope with the attention. Kristina's boyfriend, Kiefer is abusing her and harasses Michael constantly. Kristina, who is unable to go against Kiefer, sides with him throughout most of his arguments.

After Kristina gets in a fight with Kiefer, she's illegally drives and causes an accident that injuries Claudia Zacchara and kills the unborn baby (Kristina's half-brother) that Claudia is carrying. Kristina then leaves for Veracruz, Mexico, taking Michael with her to get away from the stress. They are later brought home by her sister Sam and Michael's uncle Jason. After much pressure, Kristina decides she is ready to have sex with Kiefer. Convincing Sam to take her to the free clinic, Kristina gets started on birth control. On October 14, 2009, Kristina loses virginity to Kiefer. Despite that though he still abuses her. Kristina soon becomes flirtatious with a much older Ethan Lovett, causing friction in her relationship with Kiefer. On November 9, 2009, Kristina is with Kiefer when Michael walks in and the two of them (Michael and Kiefer) verbally attack each other. Michael later sends his father's bodyguards to scare Kiefer. Kiefer believes that Kristina sent them and in a rage, he hits her. Kristina doesn't tell anyone about the incident. She later confronts Michael, and Michael retorts that he's just trying to protect her.

Kristina and Sonny's relationship starts to go downhill again when Kristina lashes out on Sonny for Sam's kidnapping. She calls Kiefer later to help her cope and the two end up having sex in his car. She returns home and finds out from her mom that Sam is safe and has been found. When Alexis tries to tell her that it's a good thing she wanted to spend time with her dad, Kristina tells her that she wants nothing more to do with Sonny ever again. This causes friction between her and Michael, who wants to be just like their dad. Kiefer keeps pressuring Kristina to have sex with him again, and she tells him that she doesn't want their relationship to be just about sex. She asks Sam for advice on a relationship and Sam tells her that someone who puts her down is not worth being in a relationship with. Kristina, however, doesn't take this advice.

At Josslyn Jacks's christening, The Corinthos family learn that Sonny shot Dominic an undercover cop who is Sonny's son and Kristina's half brother. When Morgan says that Dante will live and maybe Sonny will get off easy, Kristina retorts that even though Dante is alive, Claudia isn't and their dad has to pay for killing Claudia. Michael, furious at these accusations, yells at Kristina that he killed Claudia, not Sonny, shocking Kristina. Kristina, overwhelmed by everything Michael told her about Claudia's murder, calls Kiefer over. He takes advantage of her situation and tries to make her sleep with him. Kristina pushes him away and he hits her again, but eventually promises not to abuse her again.

After Keifer finds out Kristina ditched him for Ethan, he enters the house and brutally beats Kristina for ditching him for Ethan. Ethan finds a traumatized Kristina and brings her to the hospital. At the hospital, Kristina, fearing what Sonny would do to Kiefer, lies and insists that Ethan was the one who beat her up. Jason quickly realizes that Kristina is lying and convinces Dante and Lucky to investigate further. Eventually, Dante and Lucky discover that Kiefer is the beater, and when he realizes this, Kiefer immediately beats Kristina again out of rage. This time, Alexis arrives home and catches Kiefer leaving the house right before finding a bruised and bloodied Kristina unconscious on the floor. Immediately realizing the truth, Alexis takes Kristina to the hospital. Dante comes to the hospital on April 5, 2010 and gets Kristina's statement, and she confesses that Kiefer is the one that's been abusing her.

Later, Sam and Molly come in after finding out she was beat up again. They tell her that Kiefer was admitted to the ER after being hit by a car. Kiefer dies from his injuries and Kristina blames herself. Sam and Alexis try to convince Kristina that it's not her fault she got beaten or that Kiefer died. Kristina subsequently asks to see Jason, believing that Sonny had discovered the truth and ordered a hit on Kiefer, but Jason reassures her that he and Sonny had nothing to do with the incident and that Kiefer had no right to touch her either way. During this time, Kiefer's abusive nature and the truth about Kristina's attacks quickly become public knowledge and Ethan is given a clean slate.

Kristina attends a therapy session while in the hospital. Alexis is waiting when she comes back to her room and she admits to Kristina that she was the hit-and-run driver who hit Kiefer and that it was an accident. Kristina is able to forgive her, but Kiefer's parents are not, as both of them come by, accusing Alexis of deliberately running down their son and Kristina for ruining his life and falsely implicating their son in her beating. Kristina is emotionally overwrought by this and blames herself for Kiefer's death. She is given a little reprieve, though, when Ethan stops by and apologizes for being rude to her when she needs to get better. She is discharged on April 14, 2010, still blaming herself for Kiefer's death, despite Alexis's constant reassurance that she is not accountable for that. Kristina is in an emotional overload dealing with the trauma of her beating and her mother's upcoming trial. Her cousin, Nikolas Cassadine, decides to step in and help her. He brings her to Wyndemere, asking her to help him bond with his son, Spencer. He asks Kristina to be there for Spencer as someone he is able to play with and have fun with more easily. Thanks to Diane Miller's maneuvering, Alexis avoids jail time for Kiefer's death.

During Sonny's trial for Claudia's murder, Kristina watches Johnny Zacchara tell the court that Sonny routinely beat up and abused Claudia, upsetting Kristina. The cover-up is blown when Dante surrenders Michael as Claudia's actual killer. Though it was self-defense, the judge sends Michael to Pentonville for five years. Alexis notices that Kristina is clearly affected by what Johnny says and Kristina starts seeing a therapist. Dante eventually arranges for Michael to be released on the grounds that he live with Dante and be barred from contact with Sonny, the latter of which Kristina insists is a good thing. Michael and Kristina once again get into an argument over their differing opinions about Sonny; Michael insists that Sonny really does love them, but Kristina is simply unwilling or unable to see past Sonny's flaws. When Kristina is bullied by girls at her school, Johnny pretends to be her boyfriend to make the other girls jealous.

Later on, she goes to Johnny's penthouse and tells him of her plan to anger Sonny. She says that if they pretend to date, it will really anger her dad. Johnny reluctantly agrees. Several people warn Kristina that dating Johnny is a bad idea, but she chooses not to listen. This decision literally blows up in her face when she is injured in a car bomb meant for Johnny that was planted by Sonny. Kristina furiously confronts Sonny and agrees to stay away from Johnny to protect him from Sonny, but Sonny, finally fed up with Kristina's disrespectful attitude and smart mouth, lays out several new ground rules for her: she has a curfew, is cut off from her credit cards and is to come over to his house for dinner every Tuesday. Alexis follows suit by taking away Kristina's car. When Johnny is shot by Sonny in self-defense, Kristina blames herself, remembering everyone's warnings about psuedo-dating Johnny, but Ethan insists that neither she nor Sonny are entirely at fault, explaining that everyone has both a good and a bad side, even Sonny. Kristina disagrees, but tells Ethan that, in her eyes, he is her hero and genuinely good.

On July 16, 2010, Kristina, Molly, Alexis, and Sonny get together at the country club, only to be interrupted by Kiefer's father, Warren Bauer, who who has been attempting for months to get revenge on Kristina and Alexis for Kiefer's death, who hassles them over Kiefer and vows to bring them to court. However, Sonny readily comes to Alexis and Kristina's defense and, ascertaining that abusers learn their habits from others, openly accuses Warren of having abused Kiefer himself. Though Warren denies it, his reaction suggests otherwise. After Warren leaves, Kristina talks to Sonny about Kiefer, and finally begins to see the light under the tunnel with her father.

On July 23, 2010, Warren confronts Kristina at the hospital and attempts to hit her when she refuses to sign a release for her medical records. Before he can, Michael, having heard the commotion, rushes to Kristina's rescue, pummeling Warren senseless and nearly strangling him to death. Hearing Kristina's cries for help, Ethan, Maya, Lucky, and Steven arrive and break up the fight. Warren fabricates his own version of the incident and demands that Michael be arrested, but Lucky and Mac quickly deduce the truth and cleverly make it impossible for Warren to press charges. At this, Warren finally snaps and induces a shootout, critically wounding Mac and Ethan before turning his attention to Kristina. Michael nobly stands between Kristina and the gun, but before Warren can fire, Mac garners enough strength to fatally shoot him in the back. Warren uses his last words to condemn Kristina. While Mac and Ethan are being treated, Carly takes Michael and Kristina into another room. In shock, Kristina frantically blames herself for Ethan's misfortune, insisting that none of this would have happened if she had just told everyone the truth about Kiefer in the first place. However, everyone, including Ethan, reassures Kristina that Kiefer set these events in motion and he and Warren are the only ones at fault.

On November 5, 2010, Sonny is finally discovered as the one who planted the bomb in Johnny's car. Initially appearing angry, Kristina confronts Sonny, but quickly softens and forgives him before proceeding to insist that the ordeal was her fault because she was constantly warned that pretending to date Johnny was dangerous. However, Sonny takes responsibility and apologizes, stating that out of all of the mistakes he has made in his life, the worst was his believing that Kristina was better off without him, reassuring her that he loves her more than anything. Kristina is deeply touched by Sonny's words, and the two finally mend fences.

In late December 2010/early January 2011, Kristina is among those caught in the ski resort bus crash and admitted to the hospital with hypothermia, but recovers, while her friend Ali is diagnosed with brain trauma. Ali goes into surgery, but tragically dies on the operating table. Kristina blames herself for Ali's death, insisting that Ali would still be alive if she hadn't convinced her to come with them on the trip, but Sonny comforts her.

During Sonny's wedding to Brenda Barrett, Kristina serves as one of the bridesmaids and is the one who catches the bouquet. During the reception, Kristina and Ethan discuss her improved relationship with Sonny and dance, during which Kristina claims that she will marry Ethan someday. However, after the wedding, the night turns black and ugly. Brenda is captured by Theo Hoffman, who by this point has been outed as the Balkan, an international crime lord who has been after Brenda for months because she killed his son in self-defense and Sam is caught in a bomb planted in Sonny's limo as a decoy, though fortunately, she survives with a concussion and temporary hearing loss because the limo was bomb-proofed. Ethan takes Kristina and Molly home and stays with them while Jason and Alexis are visiting Sam at the hospital, doing his best to help them cope. During this time, Kristina admits her feelings for Ethan, but he lets her down gently because of his marriage to Maya, explaining that he cheats at cards but never on women. Knowing that Ethan and Maya only married for money, Kristina nonchalantly says she can wait for him.

While visiting Sam at the hospital, Kristina and Molly teach Sam some degree of sign language in the event that her hearing loss is permanent, all while having some fun at Alexis' expense. Later, while alone in the room with Kristina, Sam gets out of bed to stretch her legs out, only to pass out almost as soon as she sets foot on the floor, much to Kristina's shock and horror. This incident brings back Kristina's painful memories of Ali's death, and she becomes terrified of losing Sam too, though Jason comforts her and convinces her to be strong for her sister. Fortunately, tests indicate that Sam merely fainted and she is perfectly fine. On March 11, 2011, Kristina becomes jealous of how much time Michael is spending with ex-stripper Abby Haver and begins plotting to sabotage their friendship so she can have her brother back. Kristina later sticks by her brother when his baby half-sister, Josslyn, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. That same night, Jake Spencer, Jason's son with Elizabeth Webber, is hit by a car and dies despite Patrick and Robin's best efforts to save him. Upon discovering from Max that Carly is one of the suspects in the hit-and-run, Kristina accompanied Michael to the police station and caused a distraction so Michael could steal Carly's car.

Kristina took a job babysitting Patrick and Robin Drake's daughter Emma and Lisa Niles offers to listen to her whenever she may need it. Unbeknownst to Kristina, Lisa is merely using her to have easy access to Robin and Patrick. To this end, Lisa begins giving Kristina addictive drugs, which she passes off as herbal supplements. When Brenda's long-lost son, Lucian, is revealed to be alive and begins bonding with Sonny and Brenda, Kristina begins to fear that Lucian will throw a wrench into the progress she and Sonny have made into repairing their relationship, but Ethan reassures her that Sonny still loves her and things aren't as bad as they seem. On May 18, 2011, Ethan discovers Kristina has been taking hydrocodone. He warns Kristina about Lisa, leading to Kristina confronting Lisa about it. Lisa makes it seem like Kristina wanted the drugs and knew all long what she was really giving her.

As Kristina's romantic feelings on Ethan Lovett re-emerged, she began to openly pursue him. Ethan's mixed signals towards Kristina for several months only compounded the problem, especially when he made his marriage to Maya seem like it was simply a business arrangement. This became an issue when Kristina boarded a plane to accompany Ethan to the Dominican Republic on June 9 so that he could obtain a quickie divorce from Maya, which lead to her father contemplating Ethan's murder when he discovered their trip to the Dominican Republic (with Alexis and Sonny assuming that they were going to get married). After a few days of fun in the sun and a humorous mix-up in the divorce officiator's office, her parents escorted the two back to Port Charles. Sonny, in particular, seems especially against Ethan having any sort of relationship with his daughter and has threatened Ethan's life numerous times in order to reinforce that belief. Ethan, however, has been adamant about continuing his association with Kristina, with or without Sonny's approval.

In a discussion about Ethan and Kristina's relationship, Alexis pointed out to Sonny that he had no problem with his son living with a woman ten years his senior, which lead to Sonny's retort that Michael's situation with Abby was different because Michael was "a boy." Their trip to the Dominican Republic only stoked the flames of Kristina's desire to be with Ethan. On June 24, under the guise of planning a trip abroad for a college class, Kristina invites Ethan to the Lake House where she created a romantic setting and flirted with him and ultimately, kissing him upon Ethan's invitation to see if she still has feelings for him once they have kissed. After the kiss, Kristina informs Ethan that she still has romantic feelings for him, but their conversation is interrupted by Alexis and Molly coming home.



Months later, Kristina was accosted by Anthony Zacchara who threatened her as a means to get to Sonny. Ethan intervened, much to her relief and turned Anthony away, causing Kristina to become grateful to Ethan. Ethan went to see Michael about Kristina's feelings towards him, but Michael pointed out that Ethan did little to dissuade her romantic feelings for him for several months. Afterwards, Ethan, Michael and Abby formulated a plan that involved Ethan feigning interest in Abby in order to get Kristina to move on from Ethan. Kristina was not fooled by the deception, however. After several months of sending Kristina mixed signals about their relationship, Ethan finally told Kristina on July 7 about her skewed perceptions about the two of them together. Kristina, while taken aback, is nonetheless determined to prove that Ethan does, in fact, care about her. In an attempt to protect Ethan, Kristina goes to see Johnny Zacchara, Ethan's employer and friend, with the request that he fire Ethan in an attempt to get him out of harm's way.

Throughout all of this, Ethan himself has shown on numerous occasions that he could also be developing feelings for her, albeit conflicted, through the actions which he has taken in Kristina's honor, i.e. protecting her with an intensity that eventually caused Johnny to urge him to admit that he likes her. Johnny, in particular, calls Ethan out on having feelings for Kristina, and fires him. On July 26, after leaving Johnny's penthouse with an irritated Ethan, Kristina gets mysteriously dizzy. And although she dismissed it as a head-rush, the worried look on her face leads the audience to believe otherwise. Later, when Jax is seemingly killed in a plane crash orchestrated by Sonny, out of revenge for his perceived role in Brenda's departure, Kristina's animosity towards Sonny returns in full force, and she blasts him for this while he is being confronted by Alexis at the hospital. Kristina is approached Michael when he tries to get her to support Sonny in the wake of Jax's apparent death, and while she insists that she still loves her father, she refuses to condone his actions against Jax. Michael angrily berates and insults her for her refusal to support Sonny's actions against Jax.

Now with Kristina back from PCU, she is still determined to establish a romantic relationship with Ethan. Ethan, on the other hand, is hired by Johnny to find out what plan Skye Quartermine has with his father, Anthony. Kristina goes to the Haunted Star and offers to be Ethan's server for a card game with some highrollers. He coldly tells her to go because he doesn't want to see her hurt, just then Skye arrives with her eyes glued to Ethan. Ethan blows off Kristina to talk to Skye. Kristina leaves, clearly upset. While Ethan thinks he's alone with Skye, he begins telling her how messed up Kristina is, telling Skye that his friendship with Kristina is simply because he feels sorry for her; while Ethan and Skye are discussing Kristina, she is listening to the conversation at the doorway. She leaves, hurt and upset. Strangely, this scene is never again addressed, and the following scenes with Kristina seem to ignore what transpired. She goes to the hospital to see her sister Sam and to discuss the wedding when Ethan is brought up in their conversation. Kristina insists that her and Ethan's relationship is just like Sam and Jason's. Sam tells Kristina that her and Jason are in love whereas Ethan doesn't like Kristina as anything more than a friend.

This upsets Kristina and she storms off. While Kristina is walking by the docks she begins feeling light headed and collapses. She is then found by Anthony Zacchara. Her brother, Michael shows up and takes her to General Hospital. At the hospital, Patrick Drake discovers that Kristina's dizzy spells are a result of a bone fragment causing pressure on her spinal cord which both Alexis and Sam speculate may be a result of her beatings at Kiefer's hands. However, after initially being brought up by Molly, people begin to believe that the bone fragment was dislodged after she was caught in the explosion of Johnny's car at the hands of Sonny. Kristina's doctor, Patrick, confirms this conclusion. When Sonny arrives to see her, Kristina initially wants him to leave, but eventually relents and allows him to sit with her. Ethan encourages her to get surgery to remove the bone fragment, even at the risk of being paralyzed. She agrees to it and he promises to dance with her at Sam's wedding, whether or not she's in a wheelchair. After the bone fragment was removed, Kristina lost all feeling in one of her legs. She was distraught and believed she would be paralyzed. While talking to Ethan one day, he playfully pokes her leg and she realizes she can feel her legs again.

In early November, Kristina learns that she has been accepted at Yale University and we later learn that Alexis had Sonny pull some strings to get Kristina off the wait list, in an attempt to prevent Kristina from pursuing a job at Crimson with Kate Howard. On November 4th Kristina says goodbye to her family and friends at a going away party thrown by her parents. There, she makes peace with Sonny and Abby Haver. She also shares a special goodbye with Ethan, promising him that she will live her life to the fullest and give the guys at Yale a chance. After the party, Kristina left for Yale. (11-4-11)



Kristina returned on May 25, 2012 to confront her parents about how she really got in to Yale. Enraged, she told them about the students at Yale finding out how she got in and teasing her calling her "Mob Princess". On May 30, 2012, Kristina both shocked and angered the family when she allowed cameras into Alexis' home against both her parents wishes for her new reality show entitled Mob Princess, about the family's drama. Kristina was feeling conflicted about the production of the show after Sam's baby "died", but upon Alexis calling her a brat decided to continue with the show. Kristina has a crush on her show's producer, Trey Mitchell. He is aware of her crush and uses it to easily manipulate her. While Kristina pushes hard for Trey to see her in a romantic light, Trey seems to have no interest in her beyond using her to to Sonny. He constantly begs her to take trips to her father's home and warehouse. Even flaunting around a bikini trying to entice him to go swimming with her did not falter his interest in the mob. When she kisses him at the Haunted Star, he feels nothing and tells her they should focus only on the show.

While Kristina is home she discovers Molly is now dating a boy named TJ when she and her crew catch them on camera on the Fourth of July. Though difficult at first, Kristina is protective of her little sister, telling the crew to erase the footage of Molly and tries to hide Molly and TJ's relationship from Alexis. She stands by her little sister as they argue with Alexis over Molly's right to date. Trey and Kristina often argue about the direction of the show. Kristina did not want Kate involved with the show, but Trey wanted to air Kate Howard's legal battle, including the admission that she suffered from dissociative identity disorder. Trey also wanted to include Starr's perspective since it was her boyfriend and child that had been killed and Johnny Zacchara's point-of-view since he had been a suspect before the confession. Kristina argued that the show was titled Mob Princess and should be centered around her. Trey decides to end Mob Princess immediately so he can get closer to Kristina per his father's orders. Trey tells her he wants to date her and after discussing Kiefer, Kristina agrees to date Trey. Despite warnings from her parents and older sister she refuses to see Trey's faults and acknowledge his secrecy.

Trey tells Kristina his father needs their help. He put all his money into the Mob Princess project and if they do not deliver 10 shows and a wedding he will be sued. Kristina believes his lies and decides to head to Las Vegas and marry Trey. After returning to Port Charles from Las Vegas, Kristina tells her parents about her marriage to Trey. They are instantly upset, but she assures them both she plans to get the marriage annulled. Kristina has long talks with both of her parents trying to show them her point of view. She and Trey consummate the marriage and she has the intentions of staying with him. Trey finally comes clean with her and reveals that his father is Joe Scully Jr., Sonny's nemesis. Joe kidnaps Kristina on the day of Sonny and Kate's wedding, holding her hostage at gunpoint in her father's warehouse. He threatens to kill her with the nonsensical idea that Trey will then inherit all of Sonny's money. She is saved, however, when Trey locates her just in time, though Joe escapes with a gunshot wound. Though she acknowledges that Trey saved her life, she is still hurt by his lies and decides she will go through with the annulment after all.

In November, Kristina sees Trey working at the church of Edward Quartermaine's funeral and asks him what he is doing. Trey says that he working there for room and board. They later go to Kelly's to talk about Trey not having too many job options in Port Charles. With Trey not having many career opportunities in Port Charles, Trey decides to move to Los Angeles for work and asks Kristina to go with him. After the Christmas party after her father's house that ended up being ruined by Connie, Kristina accepts Trey's offer. Kristina and Trey get Sonny and Alexis' blessing to leave town. They then go to find Connie and Kristina hears odd sounds coming from the trunk while Trey is talking to Connie. Ignoring it they let Connie go off on her way when Michael and Starr arrive. Michael and Starr fill Kristina and Trey in on what Connie is up to.

The four of them decide to follow Connie and end up in a crash which also results in Ellie Trout being run down by Connie. She survives the crash with barely any scratches, but later fell unconscious and was resuscitated by Trey. However not long after, Trey passes out. The paramedics arrive and transport Trey and Ellie to the hospital. Trey starts flatlining while Kristina and Connie argue in the ER room. The two start arguing again in a waiting lounge with Alexis and Sonny breaking them up before the fight ends in blows. Finally, Steve comes out of Trey's news with bad news. Trey is rendered brain dead. After much arguing with Connie including Sonny paying Connie's bail against Kristina's wishes, Trey is pulled from life support.

On January 25, Starr comes over to Alexis' house to check up on Kristina. Molly and Starr try to help Kristina with her grief of losing Trey. Starr later checks on her, but she is no where to be found. Kristina arrives at Manning Enterprises and smashes Connie Falconeri's laptop with a baseball bat. Sonny stops her from swinging at Connie and is able to get the bat away from her. Kristina cries on Sonny's shoulder. However, Connie then proceeds to call her names and Kristina breaks free of Sonny's grip and lunges at Connie. Sonny stops Kristina from choking Connie but an angry Connie calls the Police and Dante comes. Dante and another cop cuff Kristina and take her to the PCPD. Kristina is processed through and are told that she must stay overnight due to her level of charges are not permitted to be seen in night court.

She spends couple nights in lockup and the arraignment starts on February 6. Sonny is able to convince Connie to drop the charges and Connie interrupts Kristina's arraignment insisting that Kristina is not guilty. The DA tries to bring the case to trial without the victims cooperation, but the judge decides that Kristina can plead guilty to a lesser offense and get community service. Kristina pleads guilty to second degree assault and is sentenced to around 500 hours of community service at Pentonville. On her first day at Pentonville Kristina is left alone in a cell with Johnny. She tells him that his being in lock up won't bring back Starr's family. They discuss why Connie dropped the charges against Kristina. She tells him community service won't be so bad with him there. Upon leaving the cell Kristina is shown to be developing a crush on Johnny. She was seen last with her half-sister Molly Lansing in their house watching Janice Lomax give a Mayoral press conference about the situation with Caleb Morley.

In April 2013, Connie visits Johnny in prison, and he tells her that Kristina was transferred to another cell block after Sonny found out that Kristina & Johnny were spending time together. In June 2013, Molly says Kristina has started taking summer classes at Wesleyan University, hoping to enroll full-time as a sophomore in the fall.

On January 5, 2015, Morgan visits Sonny in prison and tells him that Kristina sends her love and that she is going to set up a visit to Pentonville to see him.

On November 17, Alexis mentioned that Kristina will be back for Thanksgiving. Kristina does return for Thanksgiving and has it with both sides of her family. First, with the Corinthos side (her dad, her stepmother, Carly and brothers, Michael and Morgan) including Bobbie, Sabrina and Kiki, at the hospital because Morgan is getting evaluated. Then, she goes to her mom's new house where she meets her little sister, Avery and Avery's mother, Ava, who she tells off and has her second Thanksgiving dinner with her mom, sisters, Julian, Ava, Olivia and Leo.

Kristina returns once again for Christmas and reconnects with her mom and sisters. She also talks to Sam about Patrick and Jason. It is later revealed that she has a secret about school so she hacks into her mother's email and deletes an email from school. She then gets ready to go to the Nutcracker Gala. When the Davis girls minus Sam arrive at the ball, where Alexis realizes that she forgot the check but then she sees a colleague and goes to say hi, leaving her phone with Kristina and Molly. Once her mother is gone, Kristina checks her email to make sure that the email she deleted was actually gone. After arriving at the ball, Dillon Quartermaine takes pictures of Kristina and Molly, at Maxie's request. During the ball, Julian asks Kristina and her sisters for their blessing to marry their mom and they all say yes (even Molly). Later on, after running into Carly, Kristina goes over to her dads and spends some time him.

On Christmas, Kristina talks to Sam and Carly about Jason. Later on, Kristina gives Sam back the star necklace that Jason gave her years ago after she found it in the storage cage at the penthouse. Then she goes over to her dad's house and sees that side of the family. She also gives her dad a selfie stick and the whole family takes a Christmas picture. On New Years, Kristina is seen on the docks with Sam and then they both head to the Floating Rib where Kristina runs into Morgan and catches him drinking but promises not to say anything. Kristina is later seen drunk, reintroducing herself to Jason and talking to him about his old life and how he needs to see the things right in front of him (Sam). She is then seen watching a football game with Michael.

A few days later, Kristina is seen at Kelly's with her mom, sisters and Julian celebrating her mom and Julian's engagement. After Julian and Sam leave Kristina, Molly and Alexis talk about sex. Kristina is then seen at the Davis-Jerome house opening a letter from Wesleyan saying she is on academic suspension. Kristina, Sam and Alexis talk about Jason. Sam then reveals, much to Kristina annoyance, that she (Kristina) is studying prelaw. Then Kristina is seen at the Metro Court with her parents talking about her mothers engagement to Julian, school and Johnny Zacchara. Then she finally reveals to Sam that she offered to have sex with her professor in exchange for a better grade and was suspended. Kristina is then seen interrupting T.J. and Molly kissing and pays Molly back for telling Sam that she has problem at school but telling T.J. that he and Molly won't be having sex. Later on, Alexis asks Kristina and Molly (Sam as well) to be her maids of honors, to which they happily accept. After Molly leaves Kristina gets a call from her professor.

On January 29, Kristina is seen getting ready to go back to school. She and Sam end up talking about Jason, Elizabeth, Jake, Franco and school and she tells Sam that she will go back to Middletown, get an apartment and a job and then go back to school next semester. Sam also tells Kristina that no matter what she has her back. After Sam leaves, Alexis comes home to see Kristina off and Kristina tells her that she can't wait for her and Julian to get married and she's happy to be a part of it. Before Kristina leaves, her professor shows up and it turns out her professor is a women (Professor Parker Forsyth), meaning that Kristina only told Sam a half-truth.

Kristina and Parker talk and she forces her way into the house. Then Alexis comes in and Parkers introduces herself, but when she does not recognize the name "Parker", Parker realizes Kristina did not tell her parents about her suspension and the reason behind it. After Alexis leaves Kristina and Parker argue and they both "threaten" each other (Kristina telling Parker's wife and Parker telling Kristina's parents). Kristina accuses Parker of wanting her, which Parker denies. Parker also tells her to use her time away from school wisely and to figure out what she wants before her parents do. Then she leaves.

Kristina is later seen at the Floating Rib with Molly, who brings Kristina her diary. When Kristina tries to get her diary back, Molly keeps it at arms length and reads some of it and asks who P is. Then Kristina finally tells Molly the truth about what happened at school (or at least the half-truth like she told Sam) and Molly tells Kristina that she can live with her at her dorm room as Kristina is now homeless because she couldn't find an apartment by school. Later on, Jason comes by and asks if the girls have seen Sam and Kristina tells him that she was headed to Elizabeth's. As they are about to leave, they run into Morgan and he and Kristina promise to continue keeping each others secrets (him drinking on his meds and her still being in Port Charles).

The next day, Kristina, Molly and Alexis visit Sam in the hospital where they talk about how Jason saved Sam. Molly also slips up about Kristina being at the Floating Rib when Jason came looking for Sam but Kristina tries to cover by saying T.J. was there. Later on, Kristina runs into her dad and tells him what happened to Sam and they talk about school and the wedding. then she invites her dad to the wedding and he says he will think about it. Then Alexis and Molly come over to talk and Alexis lets it slip that Parker was at the house and Molly realizes that the P in Kristina's dairy is Parker and she accuses Kristina of being gay. Kristina tries to cover by saying that she has to professors with a first name starting with the letter P. She then turns it around on Molly asking if she or T.J. is gay because they haven't had sex yet. After Molly leaves Kristina talks to Lucas and Brad about how they knew that they were gay.

A couple days later, she goes to see Morgan at work and he goes off on her. Afterwards, Kristina goes to Sam's where they talk about Jason and when Jason arrives she tells him to be really good to her sister. On the day of her mothers wedding to Julian, Kristina gives her something new-a picture of the Davis girls. She also figures out that Molly and T.J. slept together. Alexis and Julian get married and everything goes off without a hitch until a gunman named Dixon takes everyone in the church hostage. While being held hostage, Alexis lets it slip that another one of Sonny's kids is at the wedding (Morgan was part of the reason he was there) and Dixon realizes that it's one of the girls in the front row. Sam tries to convince him that she is Sonny's daughter but is unsuccessful. Afterwards, Dixon chooses to take Molly but Kristina stops him saying she's Sonny's daughter. Dixon tries to take Kristina hostage but Molly goes hysterical which allows Sonny to get out of his wheelchair and save Kristina.

A few days later, Kristina visits Sonny and a talks about how she became friends with her professor. She also talks to Molly about Parker and the possibly of being gay. The next day Kristina comes clean with her parents about her school drama but not the fact that her professor was a woman. Sonny and Alexis are disappointed and don't know what to think and they also try to convince her to go back to school but she doesn't want too. Kristina also talks to Molly about Parker and how she has never felt this way about a woman before. Kristina also tells Molly that she is worried about how her parents are going to react to her sexuality and Molly tells her to give them the benefit of the doubt. They also go to Alexis and Olivia's court hearing on breastfeeding, where they win.



In February, Kristina became an aunt for the third time when her sister, Sam gave birth to her daughter, Scout Morgan. In March, it was mentioned that she lives with Nurse Amy Driscoll.
