Okay, let's dive into the wonderfully wacky world of the Quartermaines on General Hospital! These folks are basically Port Charles royalty, dripping in money and always stirring up drama like it's their job. But what exactly have they been up to? Buckle up, because it's a wild ride!
The OG Quartermaines: Still Kicking (and Scheming!)
First off, let's talk about Alan Quartermaine's ghost. He's not physically there, sadly, but his presence is *always* felt, especially when his sons are at each other's throats. It's like he's the invisible referee in the Q mansion boxing ring!
Speaking of sons, we have the ever-charming, sometimes infuriating Ned Quartermaine. Ned's been busy bouncing between ELQ (the family company) board meetings and romantic entanglements. Think of him as that guy who's always juggling a million things and somehow managing to drop them all... eventually.
Then there's Tracy Quartermaine, a force of nature. Imagine Cruella de Vil, but with a soft spot for family (buried deep, deep down). She pops in and out of Port Charles, usually with a scheme brewing or a cutting remark ready to fire. She's a queen bee with a stinger, for sure!
The Next Generation: Love, Loss, and Legacy
Now, let's move on to the younger Quartermaines! Michael Corinthos (biologically a Quartermaine, raised as a Corinthos) is all about business and brooding. He's currently running ELQ and trying to keep it afloat amidst all the corporate sharks and family squabbles.
Drew Cain (previously known as Jason Morgan) is also a Quartermaine by law. He went through a brainwashing storyline that was just too over the top. He is currently out of town, but with his memory back, who knows when he might be back!
And what about Brook Lynn Quartermaine? She's a firecracker! A singer, a schemer, and a single mom, Brook Lynn keeps things interesting. She is always involved in the lives of all the Quartermaines.
The Quartermaine Mansion: More Than Just a House
The Quartermaine mansion is practically a character in itself. That place has seen more drama than a Shakespearean play. Think of it as the Port Charles version of the White House, but with way more cocktails and secret passages.
Every holiday, the Quartermaines gather (or attempt to gather) for their traditional festivities. It's like Thanksgiving dinner at your most dysfunctional family's house, but multiplied by ten and sprinkled with corporate espionage.
Current Shenanigans
Right now, the Quartermaines are mostly focused on ELQ. The company is always under threat, so they're constantly strategizing and backstabbing each other. It's just another day at the office for these guys!
Romance is, of course, also in the air. Michael is navigating his love life, Brook Lynn is finding her way, and Ned is usually up to something scandalous.
Even with all the craziness, the Quartermaines are ultimately a family. They might fight like cats and dogs, but they'll always have each other's backs (eventually). They are classic family, even if it is over the top.
In conclusion, the Quartermaines are still the heart and soul of General Hospital. They're messy, complicated, and utterly captivating. They are what keep many fans watching!
