1983
Robert
and Holly- When best buddy Luke 'died' in an avalanche, Robert was
devastated by his inability to undo the past. So when Luke's pregnant English
lover, Holly, faced deportation, Robert jumped at the chance to do right by his
late friend and married her. Then, when Holly miscarried, the tragedy caused
Robert o realize that he indeed did have feelings for his bride, and they
consummated their marriage. Even though a not-so-dead Luke eventually returned,
Holly discovered that she had the real thing with Robert, and the couple left
the proverbial knot tied... at least until his not-so-dead wife, Anna,
made her return, that is. (SID
5/18/99)
Wedded Bliss- Fire and
Ice- When Luke Spenser was presumed dead, his best bud, Robert
Scorpio, did the honorable thing and married Luke's pregnant girlfriend,
Holly Sutton. Sexual tension ran high between the "friends"
until their concerns went far beyond just obtaining Holly's green card.
In fact, the morning after the Scorpios passionately consummated their
union, Luke turned up alive! But having lost the baby, solved the Susan
Moore murder mystery, and survived a hostage crisis, Robert and Holly
stuck together. And once again, poor Luke was left out in the cold. (SID
10/19/99)
Unholy Matrimony- When
fiance Luke was presumed dead in a avalanche, a pregnant Holly was about to be
deported. Enter Robert Scorpio, Luke's best friend, who quickly married the
Englishwoman to give her baby a name and keep her in the States. (SID 9/19/00)
Honey, I'm home- After
being assumed dead in an avalanche, Luke planned to surprise his beloved Holly
by walking through the door, alive and well. Too bad he didn't call ahead,
because by the time he hobbled back to Port Charles, his English rose was
blooming in another man's garden, namely that of his best friend, Robert! The
men went from friends to foes overnight, only reuniting when, in true Spenser
fashion, Luke's real love, Laura, proved his equal by staging her own triumphant
return from the great beyond. (SID 5/30/00)
1984
Frisco
Jones- At manager Steffi's suggestion, Frisco came to town to provide a
boost to Blackie's struggling band, The Riff Raff. Much to Blackie's chagrin,
Frisco was the one who got popular, thanks to his heart-melting voice. But when
the pressure of the music biz got to be too much, Frisco tried to hightail it
out of town. Steffi's boss sent some thugs to convince him otherwise- but they
wound up injuring his larynx, cutting short his singing career instead of
extending it. Oops. (SID 4/20/99)
Spies Were Us-
Sure, 'adventuress' may never have been Felicia's official job title, but while
married to superspy/rock star Frisco Jones, the former Aztec Princess spent more
time searching for buried treasure and cracking international spy rings than
running the vacuum! After she and Frisco parted ways, Felicia set her sights on
a more stable life as Mrs. Mac Scorpio. But since teaming up with Luke, her
focus has shifted back to solving mysteries, thus overshadowing her duties as
wife and mother. And don't think her husband hasn't noticed! (SID
4/18/00)
The Music Men- Talk about
your two-career couples! Aztec princess Felicia and superspy singing sensation
Frisco made beautiful music together before their two-man band broke up, and
each went their separate ways. (SID 6/13/00)
1987
Political Suicide-
Fearing a Mob family feud, Duke concealed Camelia's murder of Evan Jerome. But his good
intentions backfired when, on the day of his wedding to police chief Anna, a reporter
clued in the bride. That left the would-be Mrs. Lavery humiliated, seeing as she'd already
been accused of improperly investigating the death of Camilia's dad, Angus, in order to
protect Duke. Understandably P.O.'ed, Anna returned her ring (and badge). But ultimately,
Duke dazzled her by dangling from a chopper in order to rescue her from an
about-to-explode train.
1988
Trying Devane- When Mob heiress
Olivia Jerome was found gunned down in her hotel suite, there were a whole host of people
with possible motives. But it was Anna Devane, trusty gun in hand, whom the cops
discovered standing over Olivia's body. The case went to trial and, despite attorney Jake
Meyer's efforts, things looked dismal for Anna. Then, everyone was shocked when the
proceedings were interrupted by Dino, Olivia's little-known brother, who detonated a bomb
and kidnapped a key witness. It later was revealed that Dino had tried to kill Olivia so
that he would inherit the 'family business'. (SID
11/16/99)
Winter Blunderland- Calling
himself "the Snowman," crazy Grant Putnam plotted to kidnap Robin as a way of getting
revenge on her father, Robert. But when Anna arrived home early, Grant panicked, killed
Robin's 'grandmother,' Filomena, and kidnapped Anna instead! Next, he locked up his
hostage in a cabin in the Adirondack Mountains under the watchful eye of is doberman,
Statan. Meanwhile, Robert teamed up with Anna's estranged hubby, Duke, to form a search
party. Eventually succeeding in locating Anna, Robert chased Grant to the edge of a cliff
before subduing the nut. Grant wasn't the only one disheartened by the happy ending,
either. Duke's heart sank when he witnessed Anna collapsing in Robert's arms. (SID
6/29/99)
Gone But Not Forgotten-
Deciding to abandon his family in favor of life as a WSB agent, Frisco left town
with the promise to return one day. Informed he was missing, wife Felicia
grieved with brother-in-law Tony, took up with cute Colton... and fainted when
she saw Frisco again! (SID 7/11/00)
1989
Shore Leave- Colton Shore thought himself the
luckiest man alive when Felicia agreed to become his bride. Unfortunately, their
honeymoon coincided with the anniversary of her marriage to her late first
husband, Frisco. Cutting their trip short, the newly wed Shores returned home to
find that the rumors of Frisco's death had been greatly exaggerated. Through
"Torn Between Two Lovers" quickly became her theme song, Felicia
surprised both men by divorcing Frisco, refusing to marry Colton, and instead,
fleeing to Texas for some precious "alone time". (SID
