The resurrection of the Nurses' Ball (Dec 2012)

Originally posted December 22, 2012

The Nurses' Ball was founded in 1994 by Lucy Coe as a fundraiser for HIV and AIDS awareness and research. It was held at The Port Charles Hotel, and attended by most everyone in Port Charles. The event included acts by various PC citizens, including singing, acting and dancing. Lucy emceed the event, often with Katherine Bell, and Lucy became notorious for usually ending up in her underwear somehow during the show. The Nurses' Ball became more personal for many in 1996 when local teenager Robin Scorpio was diagnosed with HIV. The last Nurses' Ball was held in 2001, said to be because of the lack of funding. Now, nursing student Sabrina Santiago is determined to resurrect the Ball in memory of Robin, who is thought to have died in 2012. Sabrina and fellow nursing student Felix DuBois have tracked down Lucy and convinced her to help with the event. These three, along with Nurse Elizabeth Webber, Robin's husband Dr. Patrick Drake, Dr. Britt Westbourne, Dr. Steve Webber, and with funding from Tracy Quartermaine, are planning to bring the Ball back in 2013. What surprising acts will be seen at the Ball, the people of Port Charles might even be in for a real shocker if Robin shows up alive! And of course, how is Lucy going to end up in her underwear?

Jason Morgan is gone from Port Charles after being shot by Duke Lavery and being presumed dead. After a car accident caused by his older, alcoholic brother A.J. Quartermaine in 1995, Jason Quartermaine suffered permanent brain damage and memory loss, prompting him to change his last name to Morgan to honor his grandmother, Lila Morgan Quartermaine, and disown the family.

Duke returns! (Aug 2012)

Originally posted August 27, 2012
Duke Lavery was revealed to be alive on Monday, August 27, and has moved the presumed-dead Robin Scorpio-Drake from the Swiss facility she was being held in! Duke has been presumed dead since he was shot and "died" in Anna's arms in 1990. In 1986, Duke arrived in Port Charles as a member of his father's mob. He married Anna Devane in 1987 and got out of the mob; but when Anna was kidnapped, he joined the rival Jerome mob family in order to find her. Anna was found, and Duke faked his death in 1989 in a warehouse explosion to protect Anna and her daughter Robin from the mob. Later that year, Duke resurfaced. Only, he had a new face, no Scottish accent, and was going by the name "Jonathan Paget." Duke was again "killed" in 1990 in a shootout with Julian Jerome. So, how is it that Duke has resurfaced again, this time with his original face? Did he fake his death for a second time and again have plastic surgery, or was "Jonathan Paget" not actually Duke? Why did he move Robin from her location; was he actually the mastermind behind the faking of her death, giving orders to Jerry Jacks, who in turn gave orders to Ewen Keenan? Is Jerry still answering to Duke in his water-poisoning plot? And why would Duke hurt Anna and Robin? Watch General Hospital and find out!
