Summer 2022 will mark the 25-year anniversary of Rebecca Herbst’s debut on “General Hospital” as fan-favorite Elizabeth Webber. Although Herbst’s character is currently leaving town for a stint in the local mental institution (which may or may not be due to contract negotiations with the show, per Soap Dirt), Elizabeth has been a significant player in Port Charles for many years.
First arriving on her grandmother’s porch in 1997 as a troubled teen, Liz soon became part of the infamous foursome that included Emily Quartermaine (Amber Tamblyn), Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), and Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher), according to Soap Central. Once a struggling painter, by 2004, Elizabeth decided to become a nurse and has been a staple at the hospital ever since. Elizabeth has been through her fair share of relationships over the years, as any daytime leading lady has. Though none of them have lasted, three of those romances blessed her with a son. The soap often characterizes Liz as a struggling single mother who’s always tight on cash and searching for a father figure for “her boys,” much to the dismay of longtime viewers. Fans were thrilled in recent years to see Elizabeth finally settle into the life she always dreamed of through her marriage to Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) and they were outraged when he was killed off the show in 2021. Franco was an excellent stepfather to her three kids, but some were left wondering who the boys’ real fathers were and why none of them were in the picture.

Cameron Webber is Zander Smith’s son

Elizabeth’s second marriage to Ric didn’t pan out either, and she found herself back with Lucky. The two married and began building a life together with Lucky raising little Cam. Many newer “General Hospital” viewers didn’t know the backstory of Cameron’s paternity until Chad Brannon made a reappearance on the show in 2021 as a spirit (via Soaps). Cam (William Lipton) went to visit Zander’s grave, seeking solace after the death of his stepfather Franco Baldwin, and “speaking” to his biological father helped the teenager come to terms with his grief.
Jake Spencer is Jason Morgan’s son
Four years later, Lucky discovered Jake was alive and being held captive by the evil Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers). He rescued the boy and reunited him with his mother before returning to Ireland where he had been living for some time. In recent years, Jake was able to see his biological father Jason occasionally, but his stepdad Franco truly became the supportive father figure he never had. Unfortunately, both Jason and Franco were killed off the show in 2021, leaving Jake fatherless once again.
Aiden Spencer is Lucky Spencer’s son
Although Lucky’s the only biological father of Liz’s sons who’s still alive, and who at one point planned to raise each of her boys as his own, he has been out of the picture for many years now and plays little part in their lives. Considering how difficult the childhoods of Cam, Jake, and Aiden have been, it’s no wonder fans were upset when their happy family unit was once again destroyed after their beloved Franco died.
