Scorpio/Jones

General Hospital family
Type	Fictional family
Created by	Pat Falken Smith and Margaret DePriest
Original run	December 2, 1980—

The Scorpios and Joneses are fictional families on the American soap opera General Hospital, which is set in the fictional town of Port Charles, New York. Over time, the two families intertwined and became one large blended family, often referred to as the Scorpio/Jones family. The Scorpio family was introduced in December 1980 by head writers Pat Falken Smith and Margaret DePriest, when Robert Scorpio arrived in town to assist Luke Spencer in locating a rare diamond called the Ice Princess. Four years later, the Jones family was introduced in 1984 by Gloria Monty when Frisco Jones arrived in town after he is hired to be the lead singer for "Blackie and the Riff Raff". The Scorpio and Jones families are known for their many adventures, with members of both families working as secret agents with the fictional World Security Bureau (WSB).

The Scorpio family is also known for their feud with international criminal, Cesar Faison, who was prevalent in the 1990s and returned to the screen in 2012 with Faison's kidnapping of Robert and Anna's daughter, Robin. The Jones family rose to popularity in the 1980s with the romantic pairing of Frisco and Felicia Jones, one of General Hospital's most popular supercouple. The two families became blended early on when Frisco Jones was made godfather to Robin Scorpio and Robin's mother, Anna Devane, subsequently made godmother to Maxie Jones. Much later, Mac Scorpio married Felicia Jones and became stepfather to Felicia's two daughters with Frisco, Maxie and Georgie. Both families are currently represented by; Mac, Maxie, Lucas, Emma, and Georgie.
