Contents

Charlotte Cassadine

Charlotte Cassadine is the daughter of Valentin Cassadine and Lulu Spencer, carried by Claudette Beaulieu. Charlotte is first mentioned by Claudette to her ex-husband, Nathan West, who says that she and Charlotte are in danger, and asks for his help to protect them. Claudette tells Nathan that Charlotte is his daughter, and a DNA test confirms it. She tells Nathan that she and Charlotte have been running from her ex-boyfriend, Valentin, who threatened her and Charlotte after their relationship ended. After the test, Claudette brings Charlotte to town to meet Nathan. After Charlotte meets Nathan's fiancée, Maxie Jones, Maxie is suspicious that Claudette is lying, and Charlotte is not Nathan's daughter. She runs a second DNA test, which proves that Nathan is not Charlotte's biological father. Nathan confronts Claudette, who then claims her ex-lover, Griffin Munro, is actually Charlotte's father. Griffin meets Charlotte, and the two bond. When Claudette finds her hotel room in a mess, she realizes Valentin has found her, and skips town, leaving Charlotte behind with Griffin. Valentin eventually comes to town, and reveals to Griffin that he is Charlotte's father. Griffin later gets a DNA test done that confirms he is not Charlotte's father. Nathan also receives a note from Claudette, confirming that Valentin is Charlotte's father, but she desperately wanted to keep him away because he's dangerous. Following Claudette's wish, Griffin petitions for custody of Charlotte. Due to Valentin's manipulation, however, the judge grants full custody of Charlotte to Valentin. In December, Charlotte sees Santa and the only thing she wants is her mom. Afterwards she meets Lulu and Rocco and Lulu feels a very deep connection to her. In December 2016, it is revealed that Claudette was just the surrogate. Lulu and Maxie are caught after they find the paperwork that proves Claudette was just the surrogate. Dr. Bellamy calls Valentin, who later arrives just before Dante and Nathan. Valentin confirms to the group that Lulu is Charlotte's biological mother. He explains that Helena promised Stavros a child with Lulu, but after Helena discovered that Stavros could not father a child, she sent Daphne to seduce Valentin and recover a sample. Daphne brought Valentin's sample to Helena, and by the time Valentin figured out what happened, Charlotte had already been conceived.

Avery Corinthos

Avery Corinthos is the daughter of Sonny Corinthos and Ava Jerome. Avery was born onscreen to Ava with the help of Nina Clay. After she was born, Nina kidnapped her with Franco's help. They relocate to Canada, where Avery is eventually rescued, and returned to her mother. At the time she was born, her paternity was in question, as it was not known whether Sonny or his son Morgan, was the father. A DNA test eventually established Sonny as the father. When both her parents were in prison, Avery was primarily raised by her siblings, Morgan and Kiki Jerome. Sonny was released, and took custody of Avery. However, his son, Michael, sued for custody of Avery to get back at Sonny for killing his biological father, A. J. Quartermaine. Michael was granted full custody; he later gave Avery back to Sonny. When Ava was released, Avery's parents went to court for custody. The judge granted Ava sole custody of Avery, with Sonny getting supervised visits. When Ava started being threatened, she gave Avery back to Sonny to keep her safe. Though Sonny didn't want Ava anywhere near Avery, he eventually agreed to shared custody with Ava.

Leo Falconeri

After giving birth, Olivia and Leo are taken to the hospital and examined. He is then taken to the NICU, where he stays until his mom and Ned, with the help of Dr. Liesl Obrecht, fake his death. Ned takes him out of town and Olivia follows shortly after. Olivia returns in August, and reveals that she named her son Leonardo, and that he is with Ned and Brook Lynn in Bensonhurst. Olivia brings Leo to town, and lies that she adopted Leo and his name is Mateo. Alexis Davis is suspicious, and runs Leo's DNA against Julian's. Alexis gets the results of the DNA test and learns that Mateo is really Leo. She immediately tells Julian that his son is alive. Julian is shocked and heads off to confront Olivia against Alexis's warnings. Julian and Olivia have an intense confrontation over her lie until Alexis arrives and calms Julian down. With a clearer head, Julian apologizes and sits down with Olivia to talk things out. Eventually, they decide to share joint custody of Leo.

Rocco Falconeri

Rocco Falconeri is the son of Dante and Lulu Falconeri, carried by Britt Westbourne. In order to try to trap Dr. Patrick Drake into a relationship, Britt planned to get pregnant and pass the child off as Patrick's.

Dr. Obrecht took Ben to Cassadine Island in Greece. Nikolas and Britt traveled to Cassadine Island, and rescued Ben. Elizabeth Webber notices that Ben and Dante have the same food allergy, and secretly runs a DNA test, confirming Dante is Ben's father. Britt lets Dante have shared custody of Ben, hoping to keep the secret of stealing the embryos from coming out. However, Elizabeth figures out the truth, and tells Lulu and Dante.

When Brenda's friend Jax became involved in a custody battle with his ex-wife Carly Corinthos over their daughter Josslyn Jacks, Brenda sides with Jax and Sonny sides with Carly; this created discord in their marriage. After Sonny framed Jax for assault and drug possession, Brenda was appalled and angry; she decided that she no longer wanted Alec around that lifestyle.

The role was originated by Samantha Logan who made her first appearance on June 4, 2013. In September 2013, it was announced that the role has been recast with actress Pepi Sonuga who would make her on-screen debut later that month.

Casting and creation

On May 15, 2013, Soaps In Depth reported through their website that Samantha Logan, of the recently defunct ABC primetime series, 666 Park Avenue had been cast in the role of Taylor. Taylor comes to Port Charles to spend the summer with her big brother Felix (Marc Anthony Samuel) and immediately for TJ Ashford (Tequan Richmond). The duo's relationship will help to expand the already existing triangle between Richmond's T.J. Molly Lansing (Haley Pullos), and Rafe Kovich (Jimmy Deshler) into a quadrangle. Of the character's introduction, head writer Ron Carlivati commented, "Not everything can be a triangle." Carlivati revealed to Soaps In Depth that Molly, Rafe and T.J. would be featured heavily in the summer and the story would address whether T.J. and Molly could work through their issues or if Molly would choose Rafe. However, Taylor's introduction will "turn the whole thing upside down." In September 2013, the role was recast with actress Pepi Sonuga. Actress Brytni Sarpy who would go on to play Valerie Spencer first auditioned for the role of Taylor.

Reception

Angela Durrell said Taylor's introduction would not only add to the dynamic for the younger characters, but would also make things interesting for the adults. Soap Opera Network said Logan's introduction came just in time for the usual summer teen storylines. The July 8, issue of Soaps In Depth listed Taylor at #3 in the "5 Things We're Loving" section. Jamey Giddens praised the actress and the dynamic that Taylor brought to the teen scene and likened Taylor and Molly to the 90s feud between Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) and Karen Wexler (Marie Wilson).

B. J. Jones

Barbara Jean "B. J." Jones was born on October 6, 1986, the daughter of Tony Jones and his first wife, Tania Roskov.

Seven-year-old B. J. was left brain-dead after her school van was hit by a drunk driver in May 1994. Her father made the decision to donate B. J.'s organs, and her heart was transplanted into her ailing cousin Maxie Jones. In a moving scene, Tony laid his head on Maxie's chest and listened to his daughter's heartbeat within his niece. Later, Tony sat beside B. J.'s body (still on the operating table); he asked her to take his own broken heart in exchange, and keep it safe. The storyline won much critical acclaim and several awards for acting and writing.

In May 2005, Maxie has a heart attack at a party on the Haunted Star and has to undergo another heart transplant, but she doesn't want to have it because she wants to keep B. J.'s heart. In June, Maxie has visions of B. J. telling her cousin to live her life for her sake, Maxie later recovers and has her high school graduation.

In February 2009, as part of the ABC Daytime "Go Red" campaign for women with heart disease, the storyline was reprised. Maxie fell asleep after attending the "Go Red" fashion show in New York City; while asleep she dreamed of an alternate universe, where she died and B. J. lived. When she woke up, Maxie was glad to be alive. On October 6, 2011, Maxie celebrated B. J.'s birthday with a red heart balloon and a small stone saying "Barbara Jean Jones: Will not be forgotten." B. J. was also shown in a picture.

When he returns to his mother, he sees her being murdered by Caleb. John McBain (Michael Easton) finds Rafe next to his mother's body, holding the murder weapon, so Rafe is arrested. At the station, Rafe insists he's innocent, and points the finger at John. Caleb frees Rafe, but Rafe refuses to go with him and runs off. Molly agrees to hide Rafe and he mistakenly lets Heather Webber take Molly's nephew Danny. Molly's mother, Alexis, turns Rafe in to the police and Molly breaks Rafe, John and Lucy Coe out of jail so they can rescue Sam Morgan and Danny who have been kidnapped by Caleb. John figures out that Caleb is really Stephen Clay (Michael Easton), a former rockstar who went insane. After Sam and Danny are rescued Sam takes Rafe in as her foster son.

A few weeks later, Stephen's estranged brother Silas Clay (Michael Easton) shows up and files for custody of Rafe. Although Silas is awarded custody, Rafe doesn't want anything to do with him, so Silas lets Rafe stay with Sam while Silas treats Danny for leukemia. After Danny recovers, Rafe moves in with Silas and realizes his uncle isn't a bad guy like his father.

As time passes, Rafe develops a crush on Molly and repeatedly butts heads with her boyfriend T.J. He and Taylor DuBois pretend to be dating in order to make Molly and T.J. jealous, but when that fails, Rafe tattles to Alexis after seeing T.J. and Molly getting a room at the Metro Court Hotel.

In June 2014, T.J. finds Rafe snorting cocaine in the park. T.J. taunts Rafe about his serial killer dad. Rafe snarks about T.J.'s mom and Molly's dad being drug dealers and then punches T.J. On July 2, Sam, Silas and Patrick Drake realize that Rafe was the driver who ran Patrick off the road, ultimately leading to the death of his infant son. Running from the cops, Rafe discovers that Nina is faking her paralysis and that she is out to destroy Sam and Silas, but Nina gives Rafe money to leave town. As he is leaving, Molly gets in the car to stop him, but he drives off with her. While being chased by Sam and Dante, Rafe tells Molly that someone told him to run Patrick off the road. Then the car crashes into the road block, and Rafe and Molly are rushed to the hospital. Rafe apologizes to Patrick for killing his son, but suffers a seizure before he can tell Patrick everything. Patrick reluctantly operates on Rafe, but a blood vessel in Rafe's brain bursts, leaving him brain dead. On July 16, Silas turned off the life support machines and Rafe dies surrounded by family and friends.
