Brief Character History

All My Children:
Frankie Hubbard was born into turmoil. His mother, Angie, thought that Jesse, Frankie's father, didn't love her, so she put Frankie up for adoption. When Jesse found her, he found out about the baby, and told her that he loved her and always had. They decided to get Frankie back, so they kidnapped him from his adoptive parents. In the end, they were able to obtain custody of him. Then, Jesse was killed in the line of duty. Frankie and his mother stayed in Pine Valley for a few years, but then moved to California to start a new life.

Loving:
Frankie and his mother, Angie, moved to Corinth, Pennsylvania, a town near their old hometown of Pine Valley. They were unable to go back to Pine Valley because of too many memories of his dead father, Jesse. When he arrived in Corinth, he met and fell in love with Briana Hawkins. His mother fell in love with Charles Harrison and got married. Then, it was revealed that Charles was Bree's father. Bree thought that it was too weird and broke things off with Frankie. They got back together, but then Frankie, Angie, Jacob, and some other Corinthians moved to New York.

The City:
Frankie moved to New York to go to film school. While there, his mother and Jacob became foster parents to a white girl. Many people spoke out and made racist comments, and even vandalized Angie's clinic. Then, Jared Chase planted a bomb in the City Bar that almost killed Frankie. After that, Frankie decided to move to California for school and to be with Bree.

All My Children:
Frankie - who returned known simply as Frank - returned to Pine Valley in July 2002 fresh out of medical school. His parents' friends, Joe and Jake Martin, quickly gave him a spot as an intern at Pine Valley Hospital. Frank became close to Simone Torres, in spite of the fierce opposition of her father, who was also the hospital psychiatrist. Meanwhile, Frank began trying to track down the child he had with Mia, a child who had been given up for adoption. However, Mia's fiancé, Jake, convinced him to give up his search and let the child remain in his happy home. Soon after that, Frank and Simone's budding romance came to a screeching halt when Simone discovered that during his days as a documentary filmmaker, he had shot footage of a homeless junkie overdosing on the street. That young man was Simone's brother, and he had been comatose ever since. Even though another homeless man had gone to call for an ambulance and Frank had no medical skills at that time and was therefore unable to help in any way, Simone was disgusted with her new boyfriend and dumped him flat. Frank left Pine Valley for parts unknown.

In late 2007, a young man by the name of "Quentin" showed up in Pine Valley. Quentin, who had lived in the woods near the outskirts of town, helped Aidan Devane in the search for the missing Greenlee Smythe and Zach Slater. Quentin and Greenlee both contracted a mysterious disease and both were very close to death. When Dr. Angela Hubbard was called in to consult on the case, Quentin did everything in his power to prevent Angie from treating him. It was then revealed that Quentin wasn't the mystery man everyone believed; he was actually Franklin Quentin Hubbard, Angie's son. As Frankie lingered near death, he received a visit from his late father, Jesse. The sighting was attributed to Frankie's illness, but it was soon revealed that Jesse was very much alive. Jesse had faked his death years earlier to keep his loved ones out of harm's way.

After his recovery, Frankie finished his internship at Pine Valley Hospital. Angie later learned that Frankie had only signed on to work at the hospital so that he could find the person who had forced his father to fake his own death. Frankie and Colby Chandler were later kidnapped by the mastermind of the operation, Robert Gardner -- Tad Martin's uncle.

In mid-2008, Frankie's past as a soldier in the U.S. Army was explored in greater detail. During combat in Iraq, Frankie said that he had made an error in judgment that allowed a 15-year-old Iraqi to kill three of Frankie's fellow soldiers in a suicide attack. Despite the apparant error, Frankie was awarded a Silver Star

Frankie started to become romantically attracted to Randi Morgan, a prostitute. She pushed him away, at first, but eventually started to like Frankie as well. He encouraged her to leave the prostitution life and even tried to "buy" her from her pimp, Fletcher. Randi and Frankie were both relieved when Fletcher was killed in self defense and Randi could leave the life of a prostitute. Frankie and Randi took their relationship to the next level when they moved in to an apartment.

Frankie learned that he was being deployed back to Iraq and Randi was upset over this news. She told Frankie that, when he came back from Iraq, she wanted him to come back as her husband. At first, Frankie did not want to marry Randi but he decided that he wanted to be her husband. They set a date and were married in a small wedding in which only Jesse, Angie, Brot, Taylor, and Natalia attended.

Frankie went back to Iraq and, while he was over there, his hands were crushed and Randi was devastated. She went to see Frankie at a hospital, in Germany, and Frankie started to push her away. Brot encouraged Frankie to not let what happen to him ruin his life and to keep fighting for his marriage.
