GENERAL HOSPITAL

THE TEENS: Nikolas Cassadine, Emily Quartermaine, Lucky Spencer, Elizabeth Webber

THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS: In 1997, halfbrothers Nikolas and Lucky hated each other, Emily was an outcast recovering from a drug problem, and Elizabeth was a troublemaker who was always in the shadow of her more popular sister, Sarah. Lucky agreed to go with Elizabeth — as friends — to the Valentine’s Day dance, but at the last minute found a real date in Sarah. Dejected, Elizabeth skipped the dance and went to the movies. On her way home, she stopped to sit in the park, where she was raped by an unknown assailant. On the way home from the dance, Lucky found a traumatized Elizabeth and resolved to help her. The two set out to find Elizabeth’s rapist and eventually connected with Nikolas and Emily, who were trying to find out who was blackmailing Emily with doctored nude photos. Tom Baker, a photographer, turned out to be both Emily’s blackmailer and Elizabeth’s rapist. After Tom was arrested, the four became inseparable; Emily pined after Nikolas but he didn’t reciprocate.

THINGS CHANGE: The four friends were torn apart when Lucky was presumed dead in a fire. Emily found love with Juan Santiago, then drug dealer Zander Smith, but was in a bus crash and had to leave to recuperate. Nikolas dated Gia Campbell. Elizabeth became close with the slightly older Jason Morgan.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?  Lucky eventually returned from the dead and married Elizabeth. Nikolas and Emily fell in love and had an epic romance that tragically ended when Emily was murdered by the Text Message Killer. Elizabeth and Nikolas had an affair, ruining their relationship with Lucky, and Lucky left town after his wife, Siobhan, was killed. Nikolas was presumed dead after being shot by his uncle, Valentin.
