Teen Scene

GENERAL HOSPITAL The Teens: Nikolas Cassadine, Emily Quartermaine, Lucky Spencer, Elizabeth Webber The High School Years: In 1997, half-brothers 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.

YOUNG & RESTLESS The Teens: Billy Abbott, Mackenzie “Mac” Browning, Raul Guittierez, J.T. Hellstrom, Brittany Hodges, Colleen Carlton The High School Years: In 2001, Billy was a spoiled rich boy who tried to get in with the popular crowd by bragging about his partying. After getting alcohol poisoning at a party, Billy’s friends Raul and Mac helped him. Billy, an Abbott, and Mac, the granddaughter of Katherine Chancellor, fell in love, much to the chagrin of Billy’s mother, Jill. Bad girl Brittany was dating J.T. but wanted Billy all to herself. Billy and Mac were named junior prom king and queen. Raul and Brittany performed in the school play together and discovered their feelings for each other, but Brittany wasn’t used to being with someone who was a gentleman and who wasn’t wealthy. Meanwhile, Mac’s abusive stepfather, Ralph, came to town and tried to molest her, but Billy saved her. J.T. found love with troubled Colleen Carlton, but then slept with Brittany’s mother, Anita, and split. J.T. and Colleen reunited, but broke up again when Colleen departed Genoa City. Things Change: The teens graduated high school and spun in different directions. Billy and Mac got married in 2003, but were stunned to learn that Katherine was Jill’s biological mother, meaning they were cousins (or so they thought)! The marriage was annulled. Brittany and Raul stayed together, but Brittany became a singer/stripper at Bobby Marsino’s club and fell in love with the gangster. Where Are They Now? Raul and Brittany are engaged and she’s a successful lawyer. Colleen was kidnapped by Patty Williams and drowned trying to escape. Billy is with Phyllis, his brother, Jack’s, ex-wife. J.T. and Mac married, but he was emotionally abusive to her and they had a messy divorce. He returned to town and reunited with former flame Victoria, but was abusive to her, then presumed dead after Nikki clocked him on the head.
