Spoon Island is, as the name implies, an island on the outskirts of Port Charles. The island is owned by Nikolas Cassadine.
It was said to have been leased to the Cassadine family long ago by a Native American group.
Wyndemere
Wyndemere is the mansion found on Spoon Island, though many refer to it as a castle. Spoon Island was originally purchased in 1989 by Ned Ashton who bought the abandoned isle from Katherine Delafield's Aunt Iona Huntington. Ned originally intended it to be a present for his fiancée Dawn Winthrop. Iona herself returned to Port Charles after realizing that long ago she had hidden plates for an old counterfeiting machine within the castle. She broke into the house, stole back the counterfeiting plates and not being able to resist temptation, began printing phony five dollar bills in Katherine's home.
In 1990, a woman named Desiree shows up in Port Charles, searching for the owners of Spoon Island on behalf of her employer. With the help of Scott Baldwin, Desiree eventually meets with Dawn and Ned who agree to let her and her boss rent Wyndemere on a month to month basis. Desiree's boss turned out to be Cesar Faison under the guise of "P.K. Sinclair". During a school field trip to Spoon Island, Robin Scorpio discovers a strange piece of crystal that turns out to summon an alien named Casey. Casey was on a mission to retrieve the powerful crystal fragments as it was left behind from a spacecraft crash. Faison was already in search of the crystals for his own nefarious purposes and prompted Scott into selling him Spoon Island. When Robert Scorpio and Anna Devane discovered Faison used his piece of the crystal to cause a black out in Port Charles, they confront him and Faison reluctantly ceded his pieces of the crystal to Casey out of obsessive love for Anna. Casey is then allowed to return home to Lumina after Robin retrieved the final crystal. Casey says goodbye to Anna, Robert and Robin then asks everyone to go into the other room while he activates the crystal and dematerializes from the living room at Wyndemere.
Cassadine ownership
After Faison was presumed dead, the island was taken over by the Cassadines when Stefan and Nikolas moved to town in 1996.
In 1997, Stefan held the traditional Cassadine Bacchanalia Ball at Wyndemere to announce his engagement to Katherine Bell, while Luke Spencer and Alexis Davis planned to use the party as a diversion to kill fellow guest Helena Cassadine. While masked, Luke loosened the railing of a parapet so that Alexis could lure Helena into falling to her death. However, it was Katherine who was killed after she fell instead. Helena then managed to take Katherine's body and gave her an experimental medicine that brought her back to life. Ironically, about a year later, Helena pushed Katherine down that very same parapet to end her life for good after Katherine and Nikolas fell in love.
In 2003, during Nikolas and Emily Quartermaine's engagement party, Summer Halloway was pushed to her death by a man named Darius who was hired by Stefan Cassadine. Darius mistakenly pushed Summer to her death as Stefan had intended Emily to be the target. When one of Lorenzo Alcazar's henchman broke into Wyndemere and tried to kill Stefan, a fire broke out which left Stefan badly burned. Luke Spencer and Stefan later got into a fight with a knife, which resulted in Stefan getting stabbed. Stefan managed to whisper eerie words to Luke just before falling from the same cliff that Summer did. He died on the cliffs of Spoon Island after being found by Lucky Spencer.
After Stefan's death, the current resident Nikolas Cassadine announces his family is struggling in debt, forcing his aunt Alexis Davis to sell Wyndemere. However, Emily Quartermaine secretly bought it back for Nikolas as a Christmas present.
In 2004, Cody McCall was also murdered in the catacombs under Wyndemere by his former business partner, Ben.

During the ball, a storm started and stranded everyone on the island while madman Anthony Zacchara crashed the party. He injured Ric Lansing, shot Leyla Mir, and killed a servant, all while staying hidden in the shadows. Diego Alcazar later managed to sneak on the island and strangled the bride-to-be to death.
Nikolas moves out
In summer 2011, Nikolas Cassadine moves out, leaving Spoon Island to Alexis Davis.
