The Baldwins are a fictional family on the American soap opera General Hospital and its spinoff Port Charles.

Background[]

In 1963, attorney Lee Baldwin started volunteering as an addiction counselor on the seventh floor of General Hospital. Two years later, Meg Bentley came to town with her son Scotty Bentley. Lee and Meg married, and he adopted Scotty, but became a widower when Meg had a fatal stroke. Later, Lee found love again with widow Dr. Gail Adamson, who took on the role of mother to Scotty.

In 1966, Lee's younger brother, Dr. Tom Baldwin, arrived in town. Tom wed Nurse Audrey Hardy, but when he discovered her lingering love for her ex, he raped her in anger. Audrey sought a divorce and unexpectedly became pregnant, giving birth to a son named Steven, after her beloved Dr. Steve Hardy. Fearing Tom would fight for custody if he knew Steven was alive, Audrey hid her son until the divorce was finalized. Steven, now called Tommy Jr., was later discovered by Tom, who took him and coerced Audrey into resuming their marriage. Tom abducted Tommy to Mexico, but was thought to be dead after some time, leading to a reunion between Tommy and Audrey. Years later, Tom reappeared, attempting to win back his wife and son. Realizing they did not want him, he departed, allowing the divorce to be completed. Audrey and Steve Hardy married, with Steve adopting Tommy.

In 1993, a grown Scott Baldwin married Dominique Stanton, and their close friend Lucy Coe agreed to be a surrogate for the terminally ill Dominique. Lucy gave birth to Scott and Dominique's daughter, Serena Baldwin. After Dominique's death, Scott and Lucy fell in love, got married, and adopted a daughter, Christina Baldwin. Following a friendly divorce, Lucy remained an integral part of Serena and Christina's lives.

In 1994, Scott discovered he was the father of Karen Wexler, a child from a past high school romance. Lee and Gail were delighted to welcome Karen into the family. Although Karen and Scott initially had a strained relationship, it improved over time. Tragically, in 2003, Karen died in a car accident, leaving the Baldwins heartbroken. Afterward, Scott moved to Paris, France, with his daughters.

Scott continued his visits to Port Charles alone and, in 2007, he found out he had a teen-aged son, Logan Hayes. Scott tried to connect with his distant son, but was devastated when Logan was fatally stabbed by his former girlfriend, Lulu Spencer. In 2013, Heather Webber disclosed that Scott fathered her son, the serial killing artist Robert "Franco" Frank, following a brief encounter many years prior. That same year, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor - the reason for his homicidal psychosis - and upon it's removal, became a reformed artist. In 2017, it was reported that Lee and Gail had retired to Florida when Lee died. Early in 2019, Scott announced Gail's passing as well.

On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2019, Franco wed his three-year girlfriend, Elizabeth Webber, and became the stepfather to her sons, Cameron Webber, Jake Webber, and Aiden Spencer. Franco formed special bonds with each of the boys. In March 2021, Franco was killed in a confrontation with the villainous Peter August. Following Franco's death, his widow Elizabeth chose to retain the Baldwin surname. Scott assured Elizabeth that she would always be part of the Baldwin family, even in Franco's absence.
