Port Charles (city)

Port Charles, New York is the fictional setting of the ABC Daytime soap opera  General Hospital, and its now cancelled spin-off Port Charles. Port Charles is also the setting for SOAPnet's primetime GH spin-off, General Hospital: Night Shift. Port Charles can also be retroactively considered as the setting of The Young Marrieds, a short-lived series which ran between 1964 and 1966.

Location
Port Charles is a fictional small to midsized city located in Western New York, most likely on the shores of Lake Ontario between the Buffalo-Niagara Falls and Rochester areas, or possibly north of Buffalo situated on the Niagara River. In 1993, the producers of General Hospital filmed several exterior locations in and around the Western, New York area - including Letchworth State Park, and the village of Perry, New York. Aerial photos of Port Charles occasionally shown on the air are actually shots of the skyline of downtown Rochester.

Within the fictional universe of General Hospital, the city of Port Charles co-exists with the real cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Rochester. Events in the series indicate that Port Charles' is located relatively close to all of these locations, however it is depicted as a city which would constitute a separate metro area. During several episodes aired in 1996, the characters of Laura Spencer and Stefan Cassadine traveled to a house in Rochester to find Laura's long presumed dead mother Lesley Webber. The episodes in which this occurred suggested that Port Charles was a short driving distance from Rochester, though no actual distance was given. However, when Luke and Laura Spencer returned to General Hospital, they made a dramatic entrance at Niagara Falls.

To be separate from but proximate to both Rochester and Buffalo, and located on a body of water (as the "Port" in the name would indicate), Port Charles would likely be located on Lake Ontario north of the city of Batavia.

History
When the series first began, General Hospital was set in an unnamed city or town somewhere in the United States of America. Between 1964 and 1966, Queen's Point, the setting of the short-lived soap opera, The Young Marrieds, was considered to be a suburb of the same (then still unnamed) city that General Hospital was set in (this was part of a plan to feature regular crossovers between the two shows which never materialized due to the cancellation of The Young Marrieds). It wasn't until 1977 that the General Hospital's setting was finally established as being in the fictional city of Port Charles, New York.

Onscreen, Port Charles has had somewhat of an eclectic history. A 1993 storyline saw Lucky Spencer hiding out in catacombs while hiding from Frank Smith. As a result it was revealed that after the city was first settled, an extensive catacomb system was built beneath the city. The catacombs were again referenced in 1997 when Sonny Corinthos and Brenda Barrett were trapped there. The catacombes were run under the Asian Quarter of the city in a 1985 storyline where Frisco Jones, Sean Donely and Suki were hiding from evil mastermind Wu. In 2003, an episode of General Hospital depicted the recollections of an elderly woman (played by Gloria Stewart), whose mobster husband ran a speakeasy during the prohibition era, thus establishing that the mob has long had ties to the city. Racial discrimination has unfortunately played a part in the history of Port Charles. A 1985 storyline revealed that at some point in the city's history, a large ghetto area known as the Asian Quarter was built in order to house the city's Asian population, while a 1994 storyline revealed that one of the city's first African-American council members, Bradley Ward faced opposition from his white counterparts in the 1970s and was later murdered. This storyline also made references to people being refused housing and bank loans on account of race.

Port Charles suffered a hurricane in 1977, but quickly recovered from both that and the Lassa Fever epidemic that followed less than two years later, thus beginning a long tradition of disasters that have plagued the city right up to the modern day. During this time, Mob storylines began being incorporated into the show. In 1979, residents became concerned that Port Charles was being taken over by organized crime. Mob leader Frank Smith was arrested in 1980, thanks to the efforts of Luke and Laura Spencer.

In 1981, Luke and Laura saved the city from being frozen over by Mikkos Cassadine's weather machine. Luke and Laura were hailed as heroes and their wedding was the social event of the year. Robert Scorpio was quickly appointed as police commissioner. Luke ran and won for mayor, but resigned less than two months later after growing tired of the office.

In 1985, Robert Scorpio, along with Frisco Jones, Felicia Scorpio-Jones, and Sean Donely helped bust an extortion ring that was operating within the city's Asian Quarter. Soon afterwards, Robert left town, and his ex-wife Anna Devane was appointed as the new police commissioner in his place. In a storyline twist, the seemingly honest Police chief Bert Ramsey was apparently so embittered at being passed over for promotion in favor of Anna that he became a dirty cop and began operating a money laundering scam known as Operation Tumble Dry. Thanks to the efforts of Anna and a newly returned Robert, the money laundering scam was busted.

Soon, another crime family, the Jeromes, began to infiltrate the city of Port Charles but by the early 1990s, the influence of the Jeromes had somewhat faded due to the efforts of Robert and Anna. In 1992, Anna and Robert were presumed dead in an explosion. Luke and Laura returned to town, and the Smith Mob began to regroup and once again terrorized the citizens of Port Charles. However, Frank Smith was killed and a much more benevolent crime boss in the form of Sonny Corinthos took over organized crime in the city.

Environmental issues also became a concern as some of the residents of Port Charles formed the Greenbelts organization and protested against the arrival of the S.S Tracy, a ship carrying toxic materials that later sank in the Port Charles Harbor, nearly causing an environmental catastrophe. In 1994, Justus Ward and Laura Spencer led protests against a planned incinerator that was to be located in close proximity to the cities' predominantly ethnic neighborhoods. They were successful in stopping the project despite threats to Laura's life and that of her family.

In 1996, the Cassadine family returned to Port Charles as the main nemesis of the Spencers for a second time. Soon, Port Charles was on the brink of financial disaster when the city's biggest employer, the local hospital, went bankrupt. The hospital (and indirectly the town) was saved from considerable financial ruin at the last minute by a considerable financial investment from Stefan Cassadine, son of Mikkos. Luke claimed that Stefan only wished to continue the nefarious deeds carried out by his father and had in fact been behind the hospital's bankruptcy so he could perform a swift takeover in order to establish himself as a pillar of the community, though not many people believed Luke at the time. Stefan died in disgrace years later.

In the mid-1990's and as of now, crime has been growing in Port Charles since Sonny Corinthos took over. This includes a serial killer, who had 15 victims, killing 4 out of the 15, including a Quartermaine and a Jones-Scorpio. In late 2008, the Russian mob invaded Port Charles, setting fire to free clinic, attacking Maxie Jones, kidnapping Jake Spencer, and other things. In late 2010, superstar Brenda Barrett returned to Port Charles bringing many violetice to Port Charles.

In the 21st century, Port Charles would be hit by a number of disasters, including the Port Charles Hotel completely gutted by fire, a two-way train wreck, a hospital quarantine after a mutant strain of encephalitis spread through the town, Metro Court Hotel being taken hostage, and Anthony Zacchara terrorizing residents at Nikolas Cassadine's Black and White Ball, a Hopsital fire closing GH for four months, and a deadly carnival.

General Hospital
General Hospital is a major employer in the city.

Sonny Corinthos built the Stone Cates Memorial AIDS Wing in honor of his friend Stone Cates, who died of AIDS.

Carly Corinthos Jacks built the Michael Corinthos III Pediatric Head Trauma Wing in honor of her son Michael Corinthos III, who was put into a coma after being shot in the head.

In February 2006, a mutant strain of encephalitis placed the hospital under a quarantine, resulting in the deaths of Tony Jones and Courtney Matthews, among others.

In January 2009, an airborne toxin was released into the air by way of five poison spheres, resulting in the deaths of Andy Archer, Trevor Lansing, and Leyla Mir. An oxygen leak resulted in several explosions and fires. The renovations were unveiled on April 13.

In September 2009, tragedy again struck at the hospital. A carnival in the hospital parking lot was set up as a charity to the Michael Corinthos Foundation. A poisoned Edward Quartermaine suffered a massive heart attack, causing him to lose control of his car, crashing it into the crowd. Among the fatalities was Andrea Floyd.

In June 2011, a crazy doctor named Lisa Niles took Robin Drake, Patrick Drake, Steven Webber, Maxie Jones, and Spinelli. Spinelli was shot and lived.

The residents of Port Charles frequent the hospital's West Wing. (Characters on Port Charles were patients in the East Wing.)

The exterior shots of the hospital are images of an actual building, the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, located just miles from the show's Los Angeles studio.

Cassadine Industries
This weatlhy, international conglomerate was founded by the Cassadines in the late 70's as a front to cover for their dirty dealings. But the business took off, being controlled by Mikkos Cassadine, Stavros Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, and Nikolas Cassadine among others. Nikolas is currently in charge of the business. It is planned that when he becomes of age, Spencer Cassadine will take over. In December 2005, a single Cassadine Industries account was estimated to be worth $15 million at the time. As of May 2009, Cassadine Industries was estimated to be worth over $20 billion dollars.

The Courthouse
The Port Charles City/County Courthouse is located in the heart of downtown, apparently very close to the PCPD. It consists of courtrooms and offices, which house officials such as Alexis Davis and Scott Baldwin, the District Attorney and Special Prosecutor. In 1998, Carly Corinthos Jacks shot Tony Jones in open court. Faith Rosco was shot and killed here by a sniper in 2005. Jason Morgan and Amelia Joffe came under fire outside of the building in 2007. In 2012, Todd Manning pulled a gun on Sonny Corinthos, only to be stoped by John McBain. It has been the sight of many life changing court battles, including in 2012 when Maxie Jones was sentected to 20 years.

Crimson Magazine
Crimson is a fashion magazine ran by Kate Howard, and the biggest investor is Jasper Jacks. Her offices are at the Metro Court Hotel, which happens to be across the street from Jasper Jacks's penthouse. Kate hired Maxie Jones as her first assistant, and Lulu Spencer her second assistant. In 2008, Maxie was almost raped here by Logan Hayes, but he saw Lulu watching from Johnny's penthouse (which is formerly the home of Jasper Jacks). Lulu then accidentally killed him, which has put her in Shadybrooke. As of recent, Jax has threatened to find someone else to run the magazine if Kate doesn't stop trying to ruin Carly. When Kate was shot on September 26, Maxie temporarily took over for her as the top dog at the magazine. In December 2008, Kate held a party at the skyline restaurant to commmorate the re-launch of Crimson under Kate's name. During the party, after giving Carly the same dress that Kate had on, Lulu and Maxie were almost fired. But due to Jax having controlling interest, he prevented the event from taking place. In May 2009, it was revealed that new designs from Crimson were being leaked to Couture, Kate's former magazine now being run by Giselle May. After Damian Spinelli investigated closely, Clairice Bennett was fired from Crimson for her betrayal. But on further inspection, the culprit was to revealed to be Kate herself. In 2011, Lulu left Crimson to work at Crimson only later to return. In 2012, Maxie left Crimson when she was sentected to 20 years in jail. As of now, Kate left Crimson in 2012 due to a mental illness. It is unknow what is going on with Crimson.

The Docks/Waterfront/Pier
As its name suggests, Port Charles is a major port. The Waterfront district has been under the control of Sonny Corinthos for over a decade, though rival gangs have tried to move in on his territory, such as Lorenzo Alcazar, the Ruiz brothers, and others. Kelly's Diner, a local eatery, is located in this area and the Elm Street Pier is also located here. Majority of the Port Charles waterfront is owned by the Pride-Philips Company, which was given to Courtney Matthews as a thank you from a woman whose life she saved. Courtney later sold Pride-Philips to Lorenzo Alcazar. In 2008, Alexis Davis and Sam McCall are attacked here by the Text Message Killer. On March 17, 2008, one of the warehouses on the docks, an abandoned cannery, exploded. Sonny met with Claudia Zacchara to return Johnny to her. She arrived, and got on the phone with an ally to try and peace with them and Sonny. Meanwhile, Trevor Lansing and sniper stood on a loft in the warehouse, poised to shoot Claudia. Ric Lansing and Marianna Erosa were in another part of it, trying to cover the dead body of Randy. Carly finally finds Michael, where he confesses to shooting Kate. They began to leave and go home. Meanwhile, a bomb is slowly ticking away. Right as the sniper pulls his trigger, the bomb goes of, and an explosion rips through the building. Everyone survives the event, but Carly miscarries her baby. The docks are currently the site of a fake precription drug ring headed up by Jerry Jacks. The ring produces placebos that have claimed at least one life; a female heart patient. Matt Hunter was the prime suspect, but the extent of his involvement cleared. Andrei Karpov currently had a cargo ship, Odyssey, docked in the harbor.

When the Russian mob invaded PC many things happened here including:

On October 31, 2008, Andrei stabbed Sonny, and threw him into the harbor with weights on his ankles. But just in time, Carly jumped in and saved Sonny. Weeks later, on November 7, Sonny killed Karpov here. On December 19, Sasha Donev was shot and killed by a sniper here. In early January 2009, Jason blew up Sonny's latest cargo shipment.

In 2011, Shawn Bulter stops a bomb from going off here and Dante Falconeri is shot here.

Elm Street Pier
Elm Street is a poorer district within the city and is located near the Waterfront. It is notable for being the place where one of the city's most famous and flamboyant residents, Luke Spencer, grew up. Luke's sister, Bobbie, owns a restored brownstone here, which became the residence of several Port Charlesians. Alan Quartermaine and Mike Corbin used this district of Port Charles to meet up with prostitutes while fighting addictions. Maxie Jones was almost raped here after buying hydrocodone for Lucky Spencer. Robert Scorpio was beaten up by Lorenzo Alcazar's enforcers for not revealing the location of Skye Quartermaine, who was pregnant with his child at the time.

The B&N department store is located somewhere in this area. This is also where launch for Spoon Island is located. Many high level Port Charles citizens meet on the Elm St. Pier daily.

ELQ Industries
ELQ Industries, or Edward Louis Quartermaine Industries is a multinational conglomerate headquartered on Port Charles. Owned by the wealthy Quartermaine's, it is the one of the largest businesses in the region.

Emily Bowen Quartermaine Clinic
After Emily Quartermaine's death, fiancee Nikolas Cassadine carried on Emily's passion for helping the needy by opening a free clinic in her name. He had it established in it in the warehouse district in a formerly condemned building. Early on, it encountered issues when Mayor Floyd tried to have it shut down. Then came Matt Hunter. With him he brought a counterfeit drug scandal. He bought fake meds from Logan Hayes' employer, switched them with the real ones, and re-sold the true drugs. Nadine is now trying to get him to confess. On September 15 2008, Jerry Jacks set fire to the place in order to cover the illegal drugs. Matt, Nikolas, and Nadine were all trapped, but escaped safely. Employees include owner Nikolas Cassadine, Nadine Crowell, Leyla Mir, and Matt Hunter. On September 15, Jerry Jacks detonated a set of explosives in the building, hoping to silence a nosy Nadine. A raging fire ensued, and Nadine and Matt were hospitalized, but Nikolas received only minor injuries. It is currently being rebuilt. It is on Venice Street, in the warehouse district.

Greystone Manor
This is the large estate of Sonny Corinthos and bodyguards Max Giambetti and Milo Giambetti. Not visible from the road, it is guarded by Sonny's men. It has a large terrace, beautiful gardens, and a stately guest house. The large garage stores a Maserati Quattroporte. In 2005, a mobster shot up the mansion's living room with a machine gun while Carly, Sam, Ric and Sonny met inside. In 2007, Kate Howard built her house right next door to Sonny's home. Angry about Kate flying her helicopter over his home, Sonny had Jason Morgan shoot a wire that was attached to her helicopter. It suspended a statue over Kate's house, and was headed to drop it in her garden. After he shot, the statue fell through all three floors of the house, destroying the roof, floors, and walls. Former residents include Carly Jacks, Emily Quartermaine, Sam McCall, Kristina Corinthos, Morgan Corinthos,and Michael Corinthos. Sonny's private maid and cook is named Marcella. The address is 120 Shoreline Road, and Kate Howard's is 124 Shoreline Road.

The Haunted Star
This ship was a wedding gift to Luke and Laura Spencer. Luke sold it in early 1983 but reacquired it in December 2003. Today, Luke's name remains on the deed, and it now serves as a casino. Previous owners include Jasper Jacks, and Samantha McCall. In 2006, Luke hired Diego Alcazar to pretend to rob the Haunted Star, so he could take the money from his wife and co-owner, Tracy Quartermaine. A previous heist occurred, in 2003 (during the Grand Opening), by Lorenzo Alcazar. Luke's previous partners in the casino also include, Faith Rosco and Skye Quartermaine. Dillon Quartermaine briefly lived on the ship. The ship originally belonged to the aristocratic Cassadine family. Luke later took possession after he defeated Mikkos Cassadine and his plot to freeze the world with a weather machine. Sam McCall and Ethan Lovett, who is Luke's son, are former employees of the Haunted Star. His most recent investors were the Zacchara family. Luke is currently living in a private suite onboard. It is not in business as of Winter 2011.

Harborview Towers
This is an upper end apartment complex in downtown Port Charles. It has a view of the lake, and can clearly be seen in the Port Charles skyline. It includes Jason Morgan's penthouse with his wife Sam Morgan and was the previous residence of Damian Spinelli, Carly Jacks and mob boss Sonny Corinthos. Damian Spinelli's room is "regrettably pink." He stayed in the room that Brenda Barrett lived in while she and Jason were in a marriage of convenience. It is across the hall from the room that was going to be the nursery for Samantha McCall's baby, Lila, who was stillborn. Reese Marshall (when dating Sonny) took residence in Sonny's old penthouse. When Reese Marshall was living there, Carly Corinthos broke in and vandalized the entire apartment due to a mental breakdown. Samantha McCall was attacked there by Nico, where Carly helped fight him off. In 2007, Ric Lansing bugged Jason's apartment in order to obtain a guilty plea in the murder or Lorenzo Alcazar. In 2006, a would-be assassin shot a bullet through the window of Jason's apartment. He leaves the bullet hole in the glass to remind him of the choices he's made. In a December 2008 episode, it was indicated that the Metro Court was located directly across from the Harborview Towers. The address is 122 Harbor View Drive.

The Floating Rib/Jake's
The Floating Rib (formerly Jake's) is a popular bar owned and operated by Coleman Ratcliffe. Originally operated by a lady named Jake (played by Stella Stevens). Jason Morgan and Carly Corinthos first met here over a game of pool in 1996. Robin Scorpio, Emily Quartermaine, Elizabeth Webber, Kelly Lee, and Lainey Winters chose Jake's as the destination for their Girls' Night Out, where they each shared their fantasies about co-worker, Patrick Drake. A Boys' Night Out also took place soon after, with Max Giambetti, Ric Lansing, Patrick Drake, Lucky Spencer, and Nikolas Cassadine, where they each shared fantasies about Carly Corinthos. While unconscious after the cannery explosion, Carly hallucinated that she was there playing pool with Jason, the same way that they first met. It is also here where rivals Claudia Zacchara and Olivia Falconeri first met. For the first time on July 10, 2009, Jake's began a weekly karaoke night. On March 21, 2012, Coleman agreed to change the name of the bar to "The Floating Rib" after Luke Spencer paid him a substantial amount of money in cash to do so. Luke wanted the name changed because "Jake's" reminded him of his grandson, Jake Spencer, whom he had accidentally killed the year before. Luke renamed the bar "The Floating Rib" after the former restaurant in Port Charles by the same name that was open in the 1980s.

Kelly's Diner
Waterfront diner and boarding house originally owned and operated by Rose Kelly, whose late husband Paddy, had been killed by the Mob.

Almost everyone in town has been to Kelly’s at least once over the years. The diner itself has been a popular gathering place of many of Port Charles’ citizens. Many newcomers to the city have found their way to Kelly’s, where they have rented the rooms above. Edward Quartermaine worked here briefly.

Ruby Anderson stepped in as owner when Rose decided to leave town to work with her stepson Joe in 1984, offering homespun advice—and the best damned chowder and chili in New York State. She was a staple of the diner until her death in 1999.

The establishment was left to Luke and Bobbie Spencer, formerly managed by Tammy Hansen. In February 2004, Bobbie asked Mike Corbin to run the diner. Being a family-owned business, Lucky Spencer, Nikolas Cassadine, Emily Quartermaine, and Elizabeth Webber occasionally had private “Kelly’s-closed dinners” which consisted of traditional potluck dinners.

Characters on the now canceled Port Charles also frequented Kelly's from time to time.

Residents have included Holly Sutton, Jimmy Lee Holt, Celia Quartermaine, Felicia Jones, Edward and Lila Quartermaine, Colton Shore, Charlie Prince, Lily Corinthos, Brenda Barrett, Sam McCall, Miguel Morez, Juan Santiago, Courtney Matthews, Emily Quartermaine, Keesha Ward, Ric Lansing, Diego Alcazar, Brian Beck, Heather Webber, Javier Ruiz, Elizabeth Webber, Lucky Spencer, Maxie Jones, Dillon Quartermaine, Georgie Jones, Coop Barrett, Rebecca Shaw, and Tammy Hansen.

On November 13, 2008, Sasha Donev sent a gang of Russian goons to attack Kelly's. They beat and tried to murder Mike, and torched the diner. Bobbie and Luke had the diner rebuilt to look just as the old one did, with the idea of not straying from Kelly's original roots.

Lookout Point/Vista Point
The Point, as it's often referred to, is a high vantage point that sits steeply in the woods of Port Charles. It's been the spot of many outings and events in the past. This is where Maxie Jones and Damian Spinelli often go to think. In May 2002, an upset and foggy minded Carly Corinthos drove her car off of one the steep cliffs, causing it to plunge into the lake. In early 2003, Carly pushed Courtney Matthews' car off of the same cliff in order to cover up her involvement in Elizabeth Webber's hit-and-run. In August 2007, Logan Hayes took Lulu Spencer on a picnic date here. In winter 2007, Lorenzo Alcazar kidnapped Lulu, and ordered her exchange to take place at The Point. Hangman's Bridge is located in this general area. In February 2008, Diego Alcazar had planned to hang Sam McCall and Elizabeth Webber off the bridge as a final stand in his role as the Text Message Killer. Right as they arrived, Elizabeth attacked Diego, causing the car to swerve off the bridge and hang there, swaying back and forth. All three lived, but Diego was soon after killed. In December 2008, Johnny Zacchara and Lulu went there to look at the stars. This is when Johnny was almost arrested for lude behavior in November. Lookout Point is located on the same road as Shadybrook Sanitarium, and meets Harbor View Road and Old Bluff Road at a three-way intersection.

Metro Court Hotel
The Metro Court Hotel was built by billionaire Jasper Jacks on the site where the Port Charles Hotel once occupied until it was destroyed in a February 2004 fire caused by Edward Quartermaine and is now the town's most popular hotel. The Hotel was named after Courtney Matthews, who was engaged to Jax at the time. The Metro Court is home to many businesses and people, including Crimson, Kate Howard's fashion company and magazine with Jasper Jacks.

In 2006, Manny Ruiz attempted to shoot Jason Morgan on the terrace. Manny shot at him, accidentally hitting Samantha McCall.

Its lobby was recently the site of an explosion where it sustained extensive damage during the final minutes of a twelve hour hostage crisis. Employees and residents were held in the lobby by Jerry Jacks, (then known as James Craig) who was after the contents of a briefcase locked in the hotel vault. This siege lasted. Robin Scorpio was shot in her stomach within the first hour. She was operated on by Emily Quartermaine and Carly Jacks. Max Giambetti was shot in the shoulder. Father Mateo Ruiz was shot for killing one of the mercenaries. The crisis culminated when explosives were detonated in the lobby as the police stormed in. In the aftermath, the Hotel continued to be a major set, as the search for survivors continued, and a gun battle as Jason Morgan pursued James Craig through the rubble. It was rebuilt quickly, with more security. Hostages were Robin Drake, Carly Jacks, Emily Quartermaine, Sonny Corinthos, Max Giambetti, Mateo Ruiz, Alan Quartermaine, Sam McCall, Nikolas Cassadine, Elizabeth Webber, Lulu Spencer, who was held at gunpoint, Maxie Jones, who was locked in a vault the whole time, and later on Damian Spinelli when he was caught trying to help Jason rescue the hostages.

In July 2008, Logan Hayes attacked Maxie Jones in Kate Howard's office, pushing her to the floor. As he went to kill her, he caught Lulu Spencer looking through the window of her office from Johnny's balcony across the street. He ran up to the penthouse, and broke down the door with a fire axe. He tried to talk Lulu into getting back together, and when she refused, Logan tried to rape her. She grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchenette and plunged it onto his stomach. Logan died, and Johnny took the fall for her. Claudia and Johnny dumped his body at Nikolas' clinic.

Current and former employees include Carly Jacks, Jasper Jacks, Sam McCall, Max Giambetti, Cooper Barrett, Nikolas Cassadine, Olivia Falconeri, Marty, Diane, Lori, and Eddie.

Residents include Diane Miller, Olivia Falconeri, and Anna Devane. The hotel boasts a spa, solarium, restaurant, ballroom, and penthouse suites. The hotel is exactly 25 stories tall, excluding the basement. It has several sister hotels, including one named the Bella Maison in Montreal (owned by Carly). It also has sister hotels in Paris, other parts of Europe, and in Hawaii. It is a rival hotel to the Cosmopolitan. It is right across the street from the Harborview Towers.

The address (stated when the Port Charles Hotel stood there) is 1420 Courts Lane.

The No Name/Pozzulo's
Owned by mobsters Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan. The No Name is an Italian restaurant located on the west end of Port Charles. It was first frequented by members of the mafia in the 1990s. Local Mobster Sonny Corinthos previously took his then-wife Carly Corinthos Jacks there in the early 2000s. After the former owner died in 2009, Sonny Corinthos purchased the building and opened an office there.

Port Charles Park
The Port Charles park is a popular hangout spot, though can be dangerous at times. Elizabeth Webber was raped here, while Michael and Morgan Corinthos were kidnapped by Faith Rosco, Jake Spencer was kidnapped by Maureen Harper, and Georgie Jones was strangled by the Text Message Killer. Maxie Jones was attacked and knocked out there in November 2008.

The PCPD
One of the best known organizations in Port Charles is the Port Charles Police Department. It has handled several crimes in the city, but not always well. It has several officers that are informants to the mob, most notably the late Logan Hayes and Cooper Barrett. Current employees include commissioner Mac Scorpio, lieutenant Ronnie Dimestico, and officers Delores Padilla, and detectives David Harper and Dante Falconeri. Scott Baldwin had an office here. In July 2008, it was the sight of a hostage situation. Lulu Spencer smuggled in a gun of Edward Quartermaine's to Johnny Zacchara.

Pentonville Penitentiary
This is considered the "state" jail where convicted felons go. The real Pentonville Prison has had few references, the most recent being the summer of 2007. Jason Morgan was on trial for the murder of Lorenzo Alcazar. Former inmates have included Diego Alcazar, for the drugging and rape of women in Port Charles, and Nikolas Cassadine, for the murder of Helena Cassadine, his insane grandmother. She turned up alive, and Nikolas was released. In 2008, Scott Baldwin petitionined the judge to have Johnny Zacchara sent there for Logan Hayes' murder. In 2010, Michael Corinthos went to Pentonville for the murder of Claudia Zacchara and Jason Morgan pled guilty to some rico violations and had himself sent to Pentonville as well to protect Michael.

Quartermaine Mansion
The home of the wealthy Quartermaine family, it also features living quarters for several members of the extended family, including the maid Alice Gunderson and Virginia Cooke, better known as 'Cook', the chef. Monica Quartermaine is the owner of the Quartermaine mansion, which she often reminds her family of when they begin quarreling, which is an often occurrence in the Quartermaine quarters. She has been known to throw them out of her house. Some scenes have taken place in the Quartermaine boathouse, and there is also a garage with luxury vehicles such as a custom vintage Bentley.

Shadybrook Sanitarium
Shadybrook is a psychiatric facility located in a small country area in Port Charles. It has been home to many patients, including Carly Corinthos, Tracy Quartermaine, Laura Spencer, and Lulu Spencer. Lainey Winters has an office in the building, and it has become the permanent home to Laura Spencer after her 2002 breakdown, followed by a slip into catatonia. In 2005, Carly stood on the building's ledge, threatening to jump after hearing Sonny Corinthos tell Jason Morgan that her life is over. She came down, and eventually recovered from the breakdown. Laura and Lulu's were both caused by haunting murders: Lulu stabbed Logan Hayes, and Laura thought that she killed Rick Webber after hitting him with a candlestick. Lulu was recently released. Shadybrook is on the same road as Lookout Point.

Sonny's Coffee Shop
This coffee shop was opened in December 2006 by Sonny Corinthos to serve as a front for his illegal activity. Sonny frequently worked out of an office in the building. Carly Corinthos took over decorating and added a coffee cart. This is where Max Giambetti was demoted to working when he helped Carly. This is where Lorenzo Alcazar had a hit woman hide a gun. Alcazar retrieved the gun, went into Sonny's back office, and held him at gunpoint. Carly walked in and was able to distract Alcazar from shooting Sonny. Sonny took this chance and shot Alcazar in the head. On November 14, 2008, Sasha Donev sent a gang of goons to trash the coffeehouse and torch it. Little did they know, as the coffeehouse burned, Olivia Falconeri was trapped in the back in Sonny's office. Sonny managed to save her, but the building was burnt to the ground. Jason is currently having the shop rebuilt.

Wyndemere Castle/Spoon Island


Cassadine family home. The island was leased to the Cassadines long ago by the Native American group. The Cassadines only actually own the actual land that Wyndemere sits on. This island is a popular place for family outings. It is also home to a grand old mansion called Wyndemere, where many noteworthy residents have resided, including Ned Ashton, Cesar Faison, and most currently the Cassadines. Unfortunately, Wyndemere may not be all that safe; it contains many secret passages and underground tunnels, making it an easy target for intruders - Luke Spencer, in particular. This location is above several cliffs. Helena Cassadine pushed Katherine Bell off the parapet, causing her death. Darius, a man hired by Stefan Cassadine pushed Summer Holloway to her death who Darius had mistaken for Emily Quartermaine. Luke Spencer pushed Stefan Cassadine to his death as well. In 2007, madman Anthony Zacchara crashed a masquerade ball being held at Wyndemere and stalked the guests, in the process injuring Ric Lansing with a sword and killing a servant with an ice pick. To make matters even worse, a storm has stranded the guests on the island and caused a power failure. During the night of terror, Emily Quartermaine was strangled. In October 2008, Jasper Jacks attempted to buy Wyndemere out from under Nikolas. He finally succeeded in December, and had planned to build a resort around Wyndemere. Carly managed to turn the war over, and Jax gave Nikolas the lease back. Wyndemere is considered a castle by many, but Nikolas is quick to defend that is a 'mansion'.

The original owner, Catherine Flynn, who had been living in an apartment across the street, told Carly and Ric the club’s history when she observed them breaking through the brick wall. Employees have included Courtney Matthews as hostess. In November 2003, Faith Rosco claimed ownership of the club stating that though Kelly’s Diner and The Cellar occupied the same building, they always had split deeds and while Luke and Bobbie Spencer owned Kelly’s, The Cellar was rightfully Faith’s property by way of inheritance from Catherine. In May 2004, Carly regained control of the club when Justus Ward discovered that Faith’s claim on the property was invalid. Just prior to her hospitalization in Shadybrook in 2005, she closed the club until she was well again. After recovering, she opted to keep The Cellar closed permanently, stating that it took too much time and money to run.

World Security Bureau
World Security Bureau (WSB) is an Espionage agency and The nemesis of the WSB was the international organization known as the DVX. One of the WSB's most daring and effective agents was Robert Scorpio who traveled incognito as an international financier and well-know bon vivant. During the 1981 season Scorpio tracked down the Ice Princess, a statue/diamond with a secret formula on its base that as Scorpio warned "could cause cataclysmic global problems" if not recovered. On the trail of this huge uncut diamond, WSB agent O'Reilly, an elderly woman, was killed in a shoot out on the docks. Scorpio was helped by Luke and Laura as all three stowed away aboard a yacht to a tropical island that was the base of mad scientist Mikkos Cassadine who wanted exploit the power of the Ice Princess formula to be "Supreme Commander of the World." Mikkos fell to his death in freezing chamber of a machine designed to freeze the world. With the help of Luke, the machine's code (I-C-E-P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S) was cracked, disaster was averted and democracy was restored to the planet. Scorpio became a recurring character on General Hospital.

The Nurses Ball
From 1994 - 2001, the Nurses Ball was the social event of the year in the Port Charles calendar and is most notable for being a charity event dedicated to raising funds for various HIV/AIDS organizations, both on the show and in reality. The Nurses Ball was held in the Port Charles Hotel (which burned down in 2004). Notably from 1997 until the last ball in 2001, the Nurses ball was usually a major crossover where characters from both Port Charles and  General Hospital got a chance to interact with one another. A train/bus collision interrupted the 2001 event. The event has since been discontinued. The onscreen reasons for this have not been explained, but it is known that rising expenses and budget cuts in the real world, along with the revamp that was made to Port Charles in 2001 were the reasons why the producers of both General Hospital and Port Charles decided to end the annual event. But in 2006, Carly Corinthos held a similar event in which she auctioned off men to have dinner with women, and all of the money was donated to the hospital.

General Hospital Pediatric Ward Christmas party
For many years, the Pediatric Ward Christmas party has been the focus of General Hospital episodes that have aired just before Christmas (usually on the December 24 episode of General Hospital, but sometimes on December 23 or December 22 if December 24 falls during a weekend). It is traditional for the current chief of staff to read the Christmas story to the children during the party. The chief is also accompanied by the General Hospital volunteers dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus, as well as elves. The children of various cast members from the show are often featured as extras in the party scenes playing the sick children from the ward.

The Webbers and Hardys
Steve Hardy was the chief of Staff at General Hospital from the mid 1970s until his death in 1996. Perhaps one of Dr Hardy's biggest achievements was finding a cure to the Lassa Fever epidemic of 1979. He was married to Audrey Hardy for many years, and adopted her son Tom Hardy, who would also become a doctor. His other son, Jeff Webber, is a doctor as well. Jeff's eldest children, Steven and Sarah, are also doctors, while his youngest daughter, Elizabeth, is a nurse. Elizabeth has two children, Cameron Spencer, whom she is raising with Lucky Spencer and Aiden Spencer her biological son with Lucky. She also had another son Jake Spencer whom she also raised with Lucky, but Jake was killed in a hit and run car accident. Audrey, Elizabeth, Steven, Cameron, and Aiden Webber all live in Port Charles.

The Quartermaines
One of the most distinguished families in Port Charles is the Quartermaine family, who moved to the area in 1978 and are best known for running E.L.Q. Industries. The Quartermaines have had a long-standing rivalry with Sonny Corinthos that began when Sonny married Carly Roberts, the former wife of A.J. Quartermaine and forced A.J. to give up parental rights to his and Carly's son Michael. Dr. Alan Quartermaine was the chief of staff at General Hospital, while his wife Monica is a renowned heart surgeon. Rock star Eddie Maine is also a prominent member of this family. Other Quartermaine's include Tracy Quartermaine, Emily Quartermaine, Skye Quartermaine, Justus Ward, Dillon Quartermaine, Brook Lynn Ashton, and Jason Morgan.

The Spencers: Luke and Laura Webber Spencer
Laura Webber first gained notoriety in the infamous David Hamilton murder case in 1978. Only sixteen at the time, she had begun an affair with the much older David Hamilton only to murder him when she found out he was using her to get back at her mother. Laura escaped a jail sentence due to the extenuating circumstances of the crime, but her reputation as a murderess was notorious throughout the town. Later though, Laura would gain fame in a more positive way when she helped her future husband Luke Spencer defeat the evil schemes of both Frank Smith and Mikkos Cassadine. The two would then marry in a ceremony held on the lawn of the mayor's mansion. Sadly, Luke and Laura would later divorce and Laura suffered a mental breakdown in 2002, leading to her incarceration in a psychiatric facility. Laura was given and experimental drug "LS49" in October 2006. The drug brought her out of her catatonic state, but sadly the drug's effects were only temporary. While Laura was back with her family she and Luke were married again on their 25th anniversary, November 16, 2006.

Luke Spencer is possibly the most famous resident of Port Charles (and also one of its most flamboyant). Luke Spencer first gained notoriety when he, along with his future wife Laura Webber, helped bust the Frank Smith mafia gang in 1980. The following year, Luke was instrumental (again along with his wife Laura and future police commissioner Robert Scorpio) in foiling the plans of Mikkos Cassadine, a madman who had frozen Port Charles in order to showcase his weather machine. Luke and Laura married on the lawn of the mayors mansion in November 1981 in what was possibly the biggest wedding Port Charles has ever seen. Luke later ran for mayor of Port Charles in 1983 and won, but resigned less than two months into his tenure in order so that he and Laura could leave town to travel the world. Luke and Laura later returned to Port Charles in 1993.

Luke and Laura have two children together, Lucky Spencer and Lulu Spencer. Laura also has a son with Stavros Cassadine, Nikolas Cassadine. It had also been reveled that Luke shares a son with Holly Sutton, named Ethan Lovett. Lucky has a biological son Aiden Spencer with Elizabeth Webber and is raising Elizabeth's other son, Cameron Spencer, as his own. Lucky also raised Elizabeth's second child Jake Spencer as his own, but Jake was killed in a hit-and-run fewer than two months before his fourth birthday.

The Cassadines
The Cassadine brothers, Mikkos, Tony and Victor first made their presence in Port Charles felt in 1981, when they caused the infamous blizzard through the use of carbonic snow. Mikkos' younger son Stefan eventually took control of the family and in 1996, he and his nephew Nikolas moved to Port Charles permanently, joined by distant Cassadine cousin Alexis Davis who was later revealed to be Mikkos' illegitimate daughter (Natasha Cassadine) with Swedish opera singer Kristin Bergman. For a time, Stefan owned General Hospital. Stefan's older brother Stavros Cassadine who had previously died, had kidnapped Laura Spencer and together they had Nikolas, before she escaped leaving Nikolas with Stefan. In 2001, the family received another addition when Alexis' long lost sister, Kristina Cassadine (originally Kristina Carter), was brought to town to reunite with her sister by Jasper Jacks. Stefan later died in 2003, but Nikolas remains in the city. From time to time, Nikolas' grandmother Helena, the widow of Mikkos shows up to terrorize various residents of the city. Alexis has given birth to three daughters, Samantha McCall, Kristina Davis, and Molly Lansing. Nikolas now has a child, Spencer Cassadine, with the late Courtney Matthews. Samantha McCall had a daughter Lila McCall with Sonny Corinthos but Lila was stillborn on November 8, 2004.

The Scorpios
Australian ex-pat Robert Scorpio was Police Commissioner of Port Charles for many years (1982-1985, 1987-1992), and solved numerous mysteries and crimes. Robert was presumed dead in 1992, but later returned to town in 2006 to track down Luke Spencer who had brought the encephalitis outbreak to Port Charles. Now trying to mend his relationship with his daughter and his wife, Robin and Anna Devane. Mac Scorpio is Robert's brother, and Mac has two adopted daughters Maxie Jones and Georgie Jones (deceased). The newest member of the Scorpio family is Robin's daughter with Patrick Drake, Emma Scorpio-Drake.

The Mob: Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan
Sonny Corinthos arrived in Port Charles in 1993, and owned and operated a strip club before becoming Port Charles' most powerful mobster in the power struggles that followed Frank Smith's death. Sonny has become known for his relative benevolence compared to other mafia gangs and his donation of several million dollars was instrumental in setting up the Stone Cates Memorial Wing at General Hospital.

Everybody in Port Charles knows who Jason Morgan is. He was born into wealth as Jason Quartermaine, the son of Dr. Alan Quartermaine and his mistress Susan Moore, he was later adopted by Monica Quartermaine. He was well liked, smart, and basically one of the only sane things ever to come out of the Quartermaine family. He was medical student, to follow in the foot steps of his parents, but one fateful night changed all of that. One night when he was trying to stop his brother A.J. Quartermaine from driving drunk he got in the car with him and they crashed leaving Jason permanently brain damaged with no memory of his life. He broke away from his family, changed his last name to Morgan (in honor of his paternal grandmother Lila Morgan Quartermaine), and started working for mobster Sonny Corinthos. Over time Jason has gotten closer to his family, especially his adopted-sister Emily Quartermaine and his adopted mother Monica Quartermaine. In April 2008 Sonny Corinthos signed over the entire Corinthos-Morgan Crime family to Jason Morgan after his son was shot. Sonny was trying to escape the dangerous life for his son (Morgan) his daughter (Kristina) and his then fiance, Kate Howard. In March 2009, Jason gave the business back to Sonny.

Past and current members and employees/affiliates of the Corinthos-Morgan crime family include Sonny Corinthos, Jason Morgan, Carly Jacks, Brenda Corinthos, Sam McCall, Robin Scorpio, Courtney Matthews, Damian Spinelli, Claudia Zacchara, Justus Ward, Ric Lansing, Diane Miller, Max Giambetti, Milo Giambetti, Cody Paul, Cooper Barrett, Logan Hayes, Johnny Zacchara, Dominic Parelli, Richie, Bernie Abrahms, and Benny Abrahms.

The Zaccharas

When Anthony jumped off the roof of Wyndemere Castle, he was paralyzed from the neck down and his son Johnny became the new mob boss. Johnny has plans to take down a manipulative Trevor. Claudia Zacchara who is Johnny's mother (releaved in 2012) arrived in Port Charles on January 31. Clauida married Sonny Corinthos, and was murdered by Sonny's son Michael in November 2009.
