The Quartermaine family are one of the most richest family's in Port Charles, they are also the most argumentitive, underhanded people onr the planet. They won't stop at anything to screw over one of  their own, but if someone else does it , you bet your ass they will jump to their family members defence.

 

The one thing that stands out for me about the Quartermaine's is that Lila and Edward were the heart and soul of the family. While Edward rules the family with harsh words, and gruffness, Lila complimented it with her kind sweet soul who made friends with everyone she met.

 

They had two children Alan and Tracey , five grandchildren and  five great grandchildren, through Alan's son's AJ Ned  and Jason who had their son's Michael ,Jake,Danny, Brooklyn and Skye's daughter Lila Rae.

 

Edward was said to have had an affair with Mary Mae Ward which produced their son Bradley , and they had  some grandchildren one of whom was  Justice Ward who was a lawyer. He wound up getting killed by one of Jason and Sonny's enemies.

 

This was a sore spot for Edward as he didn't like the fact that Jason had

 

Alan was briefly married to Lucy Coe who donned a red dress to the wedding, and Edward married Heather Webber for a short time.

 

 

Out of all of Alan's kids, Emily was the most like Lila even though she wasn't her biological granddaughter, for instance after Lila died  Emily had , had enough of the squabbling and shouted " That will be quite enough"

 

At one point little Miss Emily got the sex talk from Carly and Sonny when she was dating Juan Santiago, and also got herself mixed up in drugs and had to go to rehab.

 

When she came back she made friends with new girl in town Elizabeth Webber who was interested in Lucky. They had become fast friends and along with Lucky and by that time Nikolas the four of them became the four musketeers. Hanging out at Kelly's after hours and just being kids.

 

Cue some giggling from yours truely and you know that Emily really was hilarious telling off her family. They are an annoying bunch to deal with.

 

Tracey has been married several times  to Gino Solieto, Larry Ashton who she had her son Ned with , Mitch Williams and Paul hornsby who is the father of her son Dillon, Luke Spencer and Anthony Zacchara

 

Tracey remarried Luke in November 2014 , and has had many a up and down moment with Luke, but her most triumphant moment was gaining the love and respect of step daughter Lulu and becoming a step grandmother to her son Rocco. A shining example that proves Tracey isn't as mean and nasty as she would like people to believe she is.

 

Alan and Monica had many affairs over ther years , but the most embarrassing one  was Monica when she had slept with Ned not knowing he was her husband's nephew and Tracey's son.

 

Monica found out she had cancer in 1995 and went to a treatment centre where she met Paige Bowen a young mum who had stage four cancer and was going to die very soon.

 

 

The hardest thing the family would have to experience was in 1995 Jason and AJ wound up in an accident that left Jason brain damaged after a drunk AJ got in his car and Jason tried to stop him from leaving. His huge mistake was getting into the car with AJ.

 

This event changed Jason's life forever as he couldn't remember who his family was when he first came too, he met up with Robin who introduced him to Sonny Corinthos.

 

During this time Monica and Alan adopted Emily who befriended Lucy Spencer, which did not thrill old man Quartermaine one bit as Lucky's dog Foster had impregnanted the QUartermaine's dog Annabelle.

 

In 2002 Emily herself got cancer , but was cured from it, and   her marriage to Zander was cut short when she decided she wanted to be with Nikolas Cassadine.

 

In 2005 after AJ had been missing for some time, he cropped up again when he hired Faith Roscoe to kidnap Sonny's children. AJ had the bloody nerve to actually put Kristina and Morgan on the black market, but he kept Michael and brain washed the poor lad.

 

AJ thought it was perfectly all right to poison Michael's mind against Carly and Sonny, but when it was discovered that AJ had Michael, Jason was really pissed and he went after his brother, with Sam not too far behind him.

 

We viewers watched with anticipation as  Jason and AJ wrestled for the gun and then AJ fell off the landing and over the bannister breaking his back. We later found out that Monica had faked AJ's death when it seemed that he had passed away in the hospital. This whole situation got out of hand and there was a murder inquiry even though Monica knew AJ was very much alive.

 

Carly, Sonny and even Michael were accused of being the one who killed him which was absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.

 

In February 2007 Monica suffered another blow to her already broken heart, she lost Alan after they were victims of the hostage take over at the metrocourt hotel. Alan died from a massive heart attack, which devastated Jason as he wasn't there in time to make peace with his father.

 

In November of the same year Monica was again devastated when she found out that  during her engagement party at Wyndemere, one of Sonny and Jason's enemie's Diego Alcazar had strangeled poor Emily to death.

 

In 2008 Michael was shot by Ian Devlin in a mob hit that was meant for Sonny , and let me tell you, it wasn't just that that infuriated the Q's its the fact that a year later Carly was shocked and upset that Michael killed Claudia Zacchara, Tracey let her know that she shouldn't be shocked at how he's turned out because Sonny raised him. Tracey also said " What did you think would happen that he'd be a choir boy" LOL

 

Harsh words but I can guarantee Carly had that one coming

 

And if that wasn't enough to make a mother's blood boil , as a grandmother Monica was furious when she found out that Jake Spencer was her grandson after he had died from getting struck by Luke as he drove down the road.

 

Monica told both Jason and Elizabeth what she thought of both of them.

 

In 2011 Monica watched proudly as Jason married Samantha Mccall, and was beaming even more with pride when  little Danny was born. In 2012 Monica was left devastated again when  Jason was presumed dead , but litle does she know her son is on the way back to her.

 

With  Tracey having this change of attitude, and the way she dotes on Jason's son, let's hope when Jason is back in the family fold that Tracey welcomes him with open arms and the Q's are all reunited and stand together as one.
