Aiden Spencer (Jason David)

Aiden Alexi Nikolossovich Cassadine is a character on General Hospital born on July 19, 2010 to Elizabeth Webber and Lucky Spencer. At birth, however, his father is believed to be Nikolas Cassadine. He is the half-brother of Cameron Webber and Jake Spencer, and the first grandchild of supercouple Luke and Laura Spencer. Storyline When Elizabeth initially finds out she is pregnant, Lucky has just broken their engagment because he discovered she was having an affair with his brother, Nikolas. She is not sure who the father is, and the stress takes its toll on her, and she has a mental breakdown. She is admitted to Shadybrook and threatened by Helena Cassadine, Nikolas' evil grandmother, who intends to take Elizabeth's baby and raise it as the Cassadine heir. Elizabeth has a paternity test done, and Lucky is revealed to be the father of her unborn baby on March 16, 2010, but Helena has the results switched so Nikolas is the father. Helena wants to get revenge on the Spencers for killing her husband, and decides to end them by raising the baby as a Cassadine and bringing down the Spencers "with their own flesh and blood." Elizabeth is disappointed when Nikolas is determined to be the father even though she knew the odds were in his favor. Initially, she keeps hoping that she can get Lucky back after he rescues her from Helena several times. When she realizes Lucky is never going to come around, she mends her relationship with Nikolas and offers to let him be there in the delivery room helping her give birth. Nikolas is grateful and lets Elizabeth know that he appreciates her letting him be a part of the new baby's life. Elizabeth goes into premature labor in July 2010, while at Wyndemere with Nikolas, her two sons, Cameron and Jake</a>, and Nikolas' son, Spencer</a>. She is rushed to the hospital, and gives birth to a baby boy on July 19, 2010 with Nikolas by her side. The two of them bond with their son, who they name Aiden, because Elizabeth likes the name. Lucky comes by the delivery while Elizabeth is in labor, but slips away unnoticed by either of them. <p _rte_fromparser="true" _rte_new_node="true">Aiden and Elizabeth are discharged the next day, but when she and Nikolas go to get Aiden from the nursery, he is not there and the nurses are not sure where he went either. Lucky is called to the hospital, which goes into lockdown to find the baby. At first, Nikolas, Lucky, and Elizabeth suspect Helena, but it's later revealed that serial killer and artist Franco is the one who took the baby. Lucky enlists fellow officer Dante Falconeri</a> and Jason Morgan</a>, who Franco is obsessed with, to help rescue Aiden. Franco hands Aiden off to his mother, Karen Anderson, wanting to give her the son she always wanted. <p _rte_fromparser="true" _rte_new_node="true">Jason and Dante, with the help of Damian Spinelli</a>, manage to track Franco down to Oregon. Dante gives the information to Lucky, who heads to Oregon while Jason is sent back to Pentonville to serve out a five-year sentence and Dante tries to keep him out so they can find Franco and baby Aiden. <p _rte_empty_lines_before="1" _rte_fromparser="1" _rte_new_node="true">Lucky gets to Oregon and finds Karen Anderson with Spinelli's help and Aiden. Lucky initially tries to gain access as a census taker, but he eventually reveals that he is a police officer and says that Aiden was kidnapped. So that Karen will believe him, Lucky claims he is Aiden's father and asks Karen to do the right thing and let him take Aiden home to his family and his mother. Karen eventually gives the baby back. <p _rte_empty_lines_before="1" _rte_fromparser="1" _rte_new_node="true">On the plane, Lucky is holding Aiden, and tells the baby that sometimes, he wishes that Aiden was his son, not Nikolas', even though he does not want a relationship with Elizabeth anymore. He has no idea that Aiden really is his son. Lucky returns Aiden to Elizabeth and Nikolas, who thanks Lucky for finding him.
