Grandchildren
A.J. Quartermaine struggled with alcoholism throughout his adult life. He had a one-night stand with Carly Benson, and was too drunk to remember it. This resulted in their son, Michael. Carly lied and said that Michael was actually Jason's son. When Michael was born, Carly left him in Jason's care. After Carly came back to town and Michael's true paternity was revealed, A.J. and Carly married and shared custody of Michael with Jason. Carly then began having an affair with Sonny Corinthos and became pregnant. In a fight with A.J., Carly fell down the stairs at the Quartermaine Mansion and miscarried the baby. The two then divorced and Carly later married Sonny. Sonny later forced A.J. to give up parental rights to Michael so that he could adopt him. From there on out, A.J. spent the rest of his life trying to regain a relationship with his son. A.J. later married Sonny's younger half-sister, Courtney Matthews. The two later divorced, but then it was revealed that their divorce wasn't legal. Their marriage finally officially ended in 2005.

Jason Morgan was the golden boy of the Quartermaine family while he was growing up. He was going to become a doctor like his father and adoptive mother, but that all changed. A.J. drove off in a drunken rage one day and Jason got into the car to try and stop him. A.J. crashed the car, and Jason suffered permanent brain damage and memory loss. He did not remember his life or family. He eventually moved out of the Quartermaine Mansion and changed his last name from Quartermaine to Morgan, to honor his grandmother Lila, whose maiden name was Morgan. He met Sonny Corinthos and began working for him in his mob. He also met Carly Benson and became good friends with her. When Carly discovered she was pregnant by A.J., Jason agreed to say that he was Michael's father to keep him away from A.J. Carly left when Michael was born and Jason was the boy's legal father and took care of him until Carly returned. Michael eventually went to live with his mother Carly and adopted father Sonny. Jason later married Brenda Barrett because she felt that she was going insane and she wanted Jason to be able to commit her to an asylum. The pair later had their marriage annulled and Jason started dating Sonny's half-sister and his brother A.J.'s ex-wife Courtney Matthews. They became engaged and Courtney got pregnant and suffered a miscarriage. They then married, and then divorced; but they found out in 2005 that they had never legally been married, since Courtney's divorce from A.J. wasn't legal and she was still legally married to him. In 2004, Jason agreed to say he was the father of Sam McCall's unborn child. The baby's father was actually Sonny, but Jason wanted to protect Sonny's marriage to Carly. Sam moved into Jason's penthouse and the two became close. Sam's baby Lila, named for Jason's grandmother, was stillborn. Jason and Sam were then going to adopt a newborn baby they named Hope, but the baby's biological grandmother came to town and took custody of her. In 2007, Jason finally had a biological child. Jacob Martin Spencer was born to Elizabeth Webber. Jason and Elizabeth had had a one-night stand while she was married to Lucky Spencer. Jason agreed to allow Lucky be his son's legal father to shield him from the dangers of his life in the mob. Jason later got back together with Sam.

Skye Quartermaine is the daughter of Rae Cummings and the adopted daugter of Alan Quartermaine. Before her arrival in Port Charles, she had been married to Tom Cudahy, Jonathan Kinder, and Ben Davidson. After her arrival in town, Skye married Jasper Jacks. The two later divorced. She then began dating Lorenzo Alcazar. Skye and Lorenzo had a daughter, Lila Rae, named for Skye's adoptive grandmother Lila, and her mother Rae. Skye wanted to keep her daughter safe from Lorenzo's mob life, so she agreed to help Jason kill him. She let Jason know when Lorenzo was home, and then she let him into his house. While Skye was upstairs with Lila Rae, Jason shot and killed Lorenzo downstairs.

Emily Quartermaine came to live with the Quartermaines when she was a young teenager. She married Zander Smith, but the two later divorced. Emily had been friends with Nikolas Cassadine since he arrived in town, and then they began to date. The two finally married, then later divorced. While she was with Nikolas, she became stepmother to his son Spencer. At the time of her death, Emily and Nikolas were once again engaged to get married.

Ned Ashton was married to Jenny Eckert, the cousin of Luke Spencer. They later divorced. When Ned met Lois Cerullo, a band manager, he was going by the name Eddie Maine. He began living a double life, as Eddie Maine, who was dating Lois; and as Ned Ashton, who was with Katherine Bell. Ned married both Lois and Katherine. He was legally married to Lois, and his marriage to Katherine was invalid. Lois found out about Katherine and divorced Ned. He then left Katherine and Lois eventually forgave him. Lois and Ned were then remarried and had a daughter, Brook Lynn, then later divorced again. Ned then married distant cousin Chloe Morgan. He married her because of a stipulation in her uncle's will, but he was actually in love with Alexis Davis. Alexis, however, had married Jasper Jacks, and Chloe was in love with Jasper. So, the two couples pretended to be happily married to their respective spouses, but all the while they secretly were with the ones they truly loved. Both couples later divorced.

Dillon Quartermaine was dating Georgie Jones when he came down with a virus in 2006. Thinking that he was dying, Dillon and Georgie wanted to get married. They convinced their parents to allow it, since they were underage, and they were married on Valentine's Day. Dillon ended up pulling through and surviving. He later started an adulterous affair with his step-sister Lulu Spencer. Georgie divorced Dillon, then Lulu found out she was pregnant; and Lulu ultimately had an abortion.

Justus Ward came to town in 1994 when his father's body was discovered. He and new friend Luke Spencer started investigating his father's murder. When it came out in court that Edward Quartermaine was Bradley's father, Justus was reluctant to get to know his new-found family. Over time, though, he got closer to them. Justus went to work for his cousin Jason Morgan, who is a mobster. He was shot and killed by Manny Ruiz, a mob rival, in 2006.
