Storylines[]
Morgan Stone Corinthos and Lauren "Kiki" Katherine Frank met off screen on a gambling website using the screen names "Jerome Around The World" and "Captain Morgan". It is later revealed that she goaded Morgan into placing bets until he lost.
Michael Corinthos comes to Manhattan looking for his brother, Morgan. He finds him beaten up and takes him to the hospital. Morgan runs from the hospital, and Michael goes after him. There, he finds Kiki, Morgan's girlfriend, who tells Michael that the apartment is her mother's house. He insists on bringing Morgan back to their home, but Morgan refuses. In order to help Morgan pay off gambling debts, Kiki invites some college classmates over to play a game of poker rigged in Morgan's favor. When the other boys catch on and accuse Morgan and Kiki of cheating, Michael breaks up the game and gets them to leave. Soon after, though, the loan sharks Morgan owes money to show up at the apartment and get into a fight with both Morgan and Michael, however, Morgan's father, Sonny Corinthos, shows up with his associate Shawn Butler and pay off Morgan's debt, ordering the loan sharks to leave.
Sonny insists on bringing Morgan back to Port Charles, their home, but Morgan doesn't want to leave Kiki, however, Sonny will not back down and Morgan complies, leaving with Sonny and Michael. When Ava Jerome comes back, Kiki reveals that she's been upset since Morgan had to leave with his father, telling Ava that the loan sharks came to their door, and then Sonny showed up. Ava later encourages Kiki to go after Morgan to Port Charles. Kiki ends up on Michael's doorstep where Morgan is staying, and the two force Michael to let her stay at his apartment.
Morgan is thrilled when it's discovered that Kiki's estranged father, Robert "Franco" Frank, was a long lost Quartermaine, as he was weary of the potential of a budding romance between Michael and Kiki. Morgan keeps finding them in compromising positions and wonders what is happening. Michael meanwhile gets angry at him for gambling again, this time with Michael's credit card. Morgan decides to whine about the Michael-Kiki situation and punches Michael.
Michael admits to Kiki that he told Morgan about their first kiss and Morgan angrily left to find her. Kiki rushes after Morgan. Meanwhile, Morgan has found out that Kiki's birth father is actually Dr. Silas Clay, but Ava convinces him to keep it a secret from her daughter or else he might lose her to Michael. Kiki eventually finds Morgan at the Quartermaine Mansion, where he set up a romantic dinner and proposes to her. She accepts, wanting to fight to stay away from Michael. Morgan rushes Kiki to the alter before she could find out she isn't related to Michael.
Morgan later declares he loves Kiki, but she's hesitant to respond. Morgan confronts her about it during dinner and Kiki declares she loves Morgan. The next day he insists they get their marriage license that day. Kiki is reluctant, but agrees. Michael finally figures out the truth about Kiki's paternity and rushes to the courthouse to stop them from getting married.
Morgan announces to Michael they're married and he should congratulate them. Morgan covers his manipulation by claiming he doesn't care who is Kiki's father and herds her out of the courtroom. The newlyweds are later evicted from the Quartermaine premises. She brushes off the notion that Morgan could have manipulated her into a quickie wedding and they sleep together several times. Her mother, Ava, plans a wedding reception and persuades Morgan's father Sonny to co-host. Kiki is initially hesitant on the idea, but Morgan convinces her to accept it. She convinces her newfound father Silas Clay (to punish Ava) and brother-in-law Michael (to try to get over him) to come along.
At Morgan and Kiki's wedding party few weeks after the two elope, Sonny reveals that Morgan knew that Michael and Kiki were not cousins before the marriage and the two separate due to Morgan's lie. Kiki tells Morgan that she can not stay married to him which causes Morgan to storm out of the ballroom. The next morning, she comes to her mother's room and finds her in bed with Morgan. Even though Morgan rubs his affair with Ava in Kiki and Michael's face, Ava is mortified at being found. Kiki decides she's had enough, and tells Morgan & Ava that she's done with them, writing her mother off once and for all - though she adopts the "Jerome" surname.
