Storylines[]
In 2003, Lorenzo Alcazar came to Port Charles to avenge the death of his twin brother, Luís Alcazar. knowing that his brother's presence in town was due in part to resident mob boss Sonny Corinthos, he became a thorn in Sonny's side, trying to get Sonny's half-brother Ric Lansing to usurp the organization from his brother. Ric had kidnapped Caroline "Carly" Leigh Spencer before Courtney Matthews and Jason Morgan's wedding and held her in a panic room at his house. Alcazar found out about it and helped Ric conceal Carly for a while. Alcazar held her hostage himself for weeks as leverage over Sonny, whose pier he wanted to use to ship cocaine into Port Charles. While holding Carly, Lorenzo fell in love with her and began to undermine her marriage to Sonny wherever possible.
The romance between Alcazar and Carly began after she suffered a severe brain injury. This brain injury was due to a gunshot wound to the head caused by her husband Sonny when Alcazar was helping her give birth to Morgan Corinthos. The wound caused a rift in her relationship with Sonny. While Carly was in a coma, Alcazar gave her subliminal suggestions that she should love him and not Sonny. When Carly came out of her coma, she did not care about anything or anyone except Lorenzo. When Sonny saw her kissing Alcazar, he left her. Subsequently, Sonny would take her sons away from her while she sought solace with Lorenzo, but she would return to Sonny for the sake of her children. After her divorce from Sonny, Carly later married Alcazar. They eventually divorced because of her obsession with Sonny, which caused her to have a mental breakdown and be committed to a resident mental hospital.
In 2004, Alcazar learned he had a son, Diego Alcazar. During this time, Lorenzo and Skye Chandler Quartermaine became involved when Lorenzo realized that his love for Carly would never be returned. After they spent one night together, she became pregnant, something she thought would never happen since she was told that she could not have children after a horrible car accident. They saw the child as a miracle.
After the loss of several shipments he was handling from the U.S. government, Lorenzo went to Sonny's office (with a gun in hand) to prevent him from seizing an important shipment that would allow him to be free of his deal with the government, but Carly walked in allowing Sonny enough of a distraction to pull out a gun and shoot. Lorenzo was shot in the head and lived, but he suffered temporary selective amnesia.
