The Balkan's mob family[]

The Balkan's mob family was a fictional mob organization on the ABC soap opera General Hospital headed by Theo Hoffman, who was also known as "The Balkan."

History[]

Theo Hoffman arrived in Port Charles in 2010 wanting revenge against Brenda Barrett for the death of his son Aleksander Janรกฤek. When Theo first arrived in Port Charles he posed as a patient at General Hospital that was suffering from a severe illness, but tests proved that nothing was wrong with Theo and he was eventually diagnosed with a psychological condition called hypochondria by Dr. Robin Scorpio-Drake. After ending the ruse with the hospital, he goes to Diane Miller wanting to join her law firm Mason, Petrovich, and Miller. He was hired and soon given a wrongful death lawsuit that had been filed against Brenda and Dante Falconeri. He used his position as Brenda's attorney to get closer to her and exact his revenge.

Theo had been behind the whole entire lawsuit and it was just a part of his plan for revenge. Brenda dated Aleksander in the past but after finding out his connections with the mob and trafficking she left him and fled to New York where Dante became her bodyguard. Brenda and Dante were not aware of their mutual connection to Sonny at the time and while in New York, Brenda found out that she was pregnant. Aleksander became obsessed with Brenda and followed her to New York. After stalking her, he ended up in a confrontation with Dante and he shot and killed Aleksander. He then covered up the crime by dumping Aleksander's body in a swamp and telling Brenda that no one would ever find out what happened.

Theo wanted Brenda to pay for Aleksander's death. He finally made his move on Brenda's wedding day to Sonny Corinthos and everyone found out that Theo was really the international criminal named The Balkan. After the wedding he had a bomb planted in Sonny and Brenda's limo. He then kidnapped and drugged Sam Morgan due to her resemblance to Brenda and put her in the limo. Brenda got into the limo and right before it exploded she was taken out of the limo and kidnapped. Sonny was devastated thinking that Brenda had died in the same way that his first wife Lily had.

When the body was recovered from the car they found that it had been Sam in the limo and not Brenda, devastating Jason, but luckily due to the bomb-proofing in the limo, Sam survived and was taken to the hospital. Jason went with Sam to the hospital and Sonny turned his attention to finding Brenda. Theo took Brenda to a cave compound and demanded to know the whereabouts of his grandson. Brenda believed that she had a miscarriage in her seventh month of pregnancy and told him so, but Theo would not believe her.

During this time it was also revealed that Suzanne Stanwyck, Brenda's long time friend and the director of her charity, the Alliance to Save Exploited Children was really Theo's wife and just as eager to avenge her son Aleksander's death as Theo was. Her whole plan for getting close to Brenda had been for revenge and to get her hands on her grandson because she knew that Brenda had been pregnant and that her son was still alive. What Brenda had thought to be a miscarriage due to a fever, had really been Suzanne drugging her so that she could induce her labor early and take the baby. After interrogating Brenda in the cave, Theo learned that Suzanne had known about the pregnancy and interrogated her. However Suzanne explained to Theo that she didn't want to add anymore sorrow to him after losing Aleksander and Theo seemed partially satisfied with the answer, until he learned that Suzanne had been with Brenda during her pregnancy and he became convinced that Suzanne had taken the baby away so that Theo would never know him.

Sonny, Jason, and Dante manage to track Theo down to the cave compound and they rescue Brenda. Theo uses Suzanne as a human shield and manages to get away while Jason and Dante chase after him. Sonny rushes Brenda to a hospital because when Theo learned that Sonny was close to finding them, he injected Brenda with a deadly neuro-toxin intended to kill her before making his escape. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Patrick Drake, a successful antidote was made and Brenda recovered. Theo then turned his attention to finding his grandson and in the process tried to kill Suzanne but due to her connections with some of his men she survived. Jason also began chasing after Theo wanting revenge for what he did to Sam. He confronted the Trujillo crime family, who they had a truce with, because they had facilitated Theo's stay in Port Charles. Rudy Trujillo told Jason that Johnny Zacchara had been the one to plant the bomb in the limo explosion that hurt Sam and Jason confronted Johnny. Meanwhile Theo had gotten closer to his grandson's location. He found him but before he could meet his grandson, Suzanne killed Theo by slitting his throat. She then put into motion a plan that would keep Brenda from her son and allow Suzanne to raise him.

Suzanne takes Lucian, a decoy son to Brenda and convinces Brenda that Lucian is her son, so that she can move to Switzerland with Brenda's real son Alec Scott. Sonny is weary of Suzanne and her story when Suzanne reveals the truth about what really happened the night of Brenda's supposed miscarriage, Brenda angrily screams at her and kicks her out. Brenda bonds with Lucian while Suzanne makes plans for her and Alec to leave the country. Sonny remains skeptical and encourages Brenda to get a DNA test on Lucian to confirm Suzanne's story.

Brenda finally agrees to the DNA test and knowing this act would prove her story wrong, Suzanne kidnaps Lucian devastating Brenda. Sonny and Dante finally manage to track Suzanne down to Texas and they take Carly Corinthos with them to bring Brenda's son home. While in Texas they learn that Lucian was the decoy and Alec was in fact Brenda's real son. Sonny and Dante catch up with Suzanne and confront her while Carly tends to Alec. Soon the ordeal is over and they return to Port Charles and Brenda is reunited with her real son Alec. She confronts Suzanne about her actions one last time before Suzanne is put in prison for the kidnapping.

    Scully mob family[]

    The Scully mob family was a fictional mob organization on the ABC soap opera General Hospital originally headed by Joe Scully, who was responsible for pulling Sonny Corinthos into organized crime. It was most recently headed by Joe Scully, Jr. before his death in 2012.

    History[]

    Sonny Corinthos grew up in Bensonhurst with his mother and stepfather. His stepfather was abusive and Sonny left home at sixteen. He met Joe Scully, who took him in and taught him the business. Joe groomed Sonny into a mobster, while Joe's son Joe Scully, Jr. grew jealous of Sonny's relationship with his father. One day, Sonny returned home to visit his mother and found that Deke had beaten her very badly. He confided in Joe, and Joe had him killed.

    Joe sent Joe Jr. to Atlantic City to run The Sea Breeze strip club he owned. One of the strippers there was Theresa, the sister of then-FBI Agent John McBain. John tried to get Theresa to quit her job at the club, but she ended up dead. Sonny was found by the police standing over her body with a gun. Sonny, however, claims that Joe Jr. had actually killed Theresa and Joe Sr. had Sonny take the fall for it, while he sent Joe Jr. to New Orleans. Joe Jr. claims that Sonny did indeed kill Theresa.

    In 1995, Joe, now in Port Charles, causes problems for Sonny. Sonny, who has always thought of Joe as a father-figure, now realizes that he has betrayed him and is no longer on the same side as him. Lucy Coe is working with Sonny and Luke Spencer to scam Joe, and Joe kidnaps Lucy. Luke, Sonny, and Damian Smith save her, but Joe fires his gun at Sonny. He misses, however, and hits Sonny's father Mike instead. Sonny, in return, fires his gun and shoots Joe, killing him.

    In 2012, Sonny's girlfriend Connie Falconeri tells him that Joe Jr. had raped her and got her pregnant when she was 17. Meanwhile, John McBain blames Sonny for his sister's death, but Sonny tells John that Joe Jr. was the one who killed Theresa, not him. John goes to New Orleans to find Joe Jr., and Sonny sends his right hand man Jason Morgan there to find him as well. Jason ends up bringing Joe Jr. back to Port Charles.

    Sonny ties Joe Jr. up in his coffee warehouse and is about to kill him when John McBain comes in with the police and has Joe Jr. arrested for Theresa's murder. Joe Jr. is then extradited to Atlantic City and put in jail. Joe Jr. tells his son Trey Mitchell (aka Joey III) that he is innocent of the murder and that Sonny is actually the one who is guilty. He also tells him that Sonny took his inheritance from his father--money, power, and the business. He instructs his son to get close to Sonny's daughter Kristina and marry her so that they can have access to everything they lost to Sonny. Later, Joe Jr. kidnaps Kristina and tries to kill her so that his son Trey will inherit everything since he is Kristina's husband (and they had funneled all of Sonny's assets to Kristina). Trey, however, saves Kristina when he shoots his father. Joe Jr. then goes on the run from the police. It is later revealed that Joe is working for a man who appears to be Duke Lavery, but is actually Cesar Faison in disguise. In October 2012, Jason Morgan shots Joe Jr. in self defense; and Faison, disguised as Lavery, later tries to shoot him again, but Joe runs away. Joe Jr. later dies from his injuries.

  • Trujillo mob family[]

    The Trujillo mob family is a fictional mob organization on the ABC soap opera General Hospital headed by Old Man Trujillo, and possibly his son or grandson Rudy Trujillo in the 2010s.

    History[]

    In February 2011, Rudy Trujillo told Jason that Johnny Zacchara had been the one to plant the bomb in the limo explosion that hurt Sam.

    In March, Jason confronted the Trujillo crime family, who they had a truce with, because they had facilitated Theo's stay in Port Charles. He met with Old Man Trujillo and found out the Trujillos referred Johnny to Theo.

    In May, Anthony told Jason that the hit woman who killed Brandon told him she was hired by Old Man Trujillo. Anthony pretended to lose track of the conversation. Jason reminded him they were talking about Trujillo. Anthony said that Trujillo was using Michael and Abby to pit the Corinthos and Zacchara families against each other. Trujillo hoped this would start a mob war when Sonny went after the Zaccharas for trying to frame Abby for Brandon's murder.

    In July, Jason assigns Spinelli (in his Jackal P.I. persona) to keep an eye on Luzetta's Bakery to keep Spinelli distracted. Jason says there's another crime family who are even more dangerous than the Zaccharas in town. They are called the Trujillos. Jason suspects the bakery is being used as a front.

    Later Spinelli sees Johnny with a mysterious package leaving the bakery and suspects him of working with the Trujillos.

    In August, Jason tells Sonny that the agreement with the Trujillos is holding. Sonny expects Old Man Trujillo to double cross them with Anthony. Jason says the man just wants to be left alone. Sonny thinks Trujillo wants Sonny and Anthony to attack each other and then he will move in.

    Sonny tells Jason to make sure that Anthony isn't working with Old Man Trujillo and that Jason will stop any shipments that are landing. Sonny doesn't want to use the warehouse because he is worried Anthony will sabotage it.

    Later Sonny accuses Johnny of running a drug operation. Johnny refuses to answer. Sonny infers that by denying any involvement with the Trujillos drug ring, that means Johnny is saying that Anthony is behind the whole operation. Sonny will have to deal with Anthony.

    In September, Lucky tells Dante that Detective Sly Thomas got some info on Joey Bruzetta. He was just released from prison. Turns out he was a cellmate with one of the Trujillos.

    In September, Johnny meets Joey's partner J.T. in an alley at Pier 14. J.T. was expecting Joey to show up. As Johnny just killed Joey he says Joey will likely be late. J.T. doesn't want any part of what went on between Johnny and Joey. Johnny tells J.T. that he works for Johnny now and will do what Johnny says or he will die.

    Johnny wants the details about the other men from Pentonville (Joey and Darryl) who were involved in the bakery scheme. J.T. is worried that Anthony will kill him if he talks but he admits that Anthony is behind the whole plan. Johnny also wants to know the setup. J.T. explains that they are hiding drugs in the flour at Luzetta's Bakery. Specifically the bags of flour with stars where the apostrophes should be in the word โ€œLuzetta'sโ€.

    There is also a boat with uncut drugs in the harbor they can't get to and a retread at the old packaging house on Pier 14. Rudy Trujillo is the contact. Johnny wants J.T. to call Rudy and arrange a meeting. Before Rudy arrives, Johnny gives J.T. a gun for protection. Johnny calls Rudy's name and forces J.T. to shoot Rudy. Rudy shoots back and hits J.T. in the abdomen. Johnny tells a dying J.T. that he lied when he told J.T. that everything would be okay.

    Later Lucky tells Mac that J.T. and Rudy's bodies were found at the packaging plant on Pier 14. Lucky and Mac both think it is a little too convenient and was likely a setup. Johnny goes to Anthony and tells him he cleaned up his mess. Joey, J.T., and Rudy are dead. He made it appear that someone wanted to silence J.T. and Rudy before they started talking. He planned to frame Sonny by putting drugs from the boat in the harbor into the Corinthos-Morgan coffee warehouse.
