1. Can someone fill me in on Elizabeth. She's got one child with Lucky and one with Jason who is her "one true love" for whatever that means on GH. She and Lucky are still close....what happened with them? And is Sam the "one" for Lucky or is she just a musical bed partner for him?
-Actually Elizabeth has one child with a guy named Zander. I think there is some messiness there, but that I am not sure on. Lucky has pretty much raised Cam since he was little so in all sense except biologically, Lucky is Cam's father. A couple of years ago, Lucky was hurt and became addicted to pain pills. He started having an affair with Maxie because she was getting the drugs for Lucky in order to keep him in her bed. Liz caught them in bed together and went to Jason. They ended up sleeping together because that same night Jason saw Sam (his girl at the time). They slept together and Liz became pregnant with Jake. A VERY LONG story short, Lucky didn't find out until a year ago that Jake wasn't his, but is going along with the story that he is Jake's father because Jason thinks that if he claims Jake as his it makes Jake and Liz targets. There is a lot more to this whole story, but that is the bulk of it.
2. Nicolas....When I watched years ago there weren't any Cassadines (as I remember!) His mother is Laura which makes him Lucky and LuLu's 1/2 brother. Who was his father? And Emily was his "one true love" and he's still mourning her, but has he always been sooooo reserved???
-Nicholas's father is Stavros Cassadine. We didn't find out about him until about 15 years ago when Lulu was little. She was sick and needed a transplant of some type (Can't remember what). Laura brought him to Port Charles and that was when Lucky and Luke found out about him. At some point, many many many years ago, Laura was missing and I guess it was Stavros who married her and they had Nicholas. Yeah he is always pretty much that reserved. A bit more with the whole Emily thing. Probably the closest thing to a true love on GH, but they don't really do the whole super couple thing like Days does. There are some couples that make up and break up, but GH is tied down to keep one couple together like Days is.
3. Were Scrubs so in-love and committed to eachother before Robin's pregnancy or were they more casual?
-Depending on the direction the wind is blowing will determine how in love Scrubs are (sorry to give my opinion there, I just don't care for them). They were pretty much together before Robin got pregnant. But they had broken up just before because Robin wanted to have a baby and Patrick didn't. But they "hooked up" the night of Georgie's funeral and that was how she got pregnant. They have gotten closer has Patrick grown in dealing with the idea he is going to be a father. They are closer now than they were just before the pregnancy.
4. What is Nadine's story? I know she is in love with Nicolas....but has she always been so over the top in her attempts to "help" those she cares about? She's annoying me to no end.
-Her sister was a psycho on the first season of Night Shift. She came to town after her sister died. That is about all we know of her backstory. Yes she is pretty much Miss Goody-Goody. It is annoying at times.
5. What is Carly's relationship to Lulu?
-They are cousins. Carly's mother (Bobbie Jones) and Lulu's father (Luke Spencer) are siblings.
6. And finally....Leila. Who is she? What is her story?
-Leila is another from Night Shift. Her only real story for a long time was that she was a nurse Patrick had flirted with and had flings with when things weren't good with Robin. The two of them have been over since about the time after Robin found out she was pregnant. Now pretty much all she is a sounding board for Nadine.
Hope all of that helps. It is pretty much the Cliff Notes version of GH.
