Brief Character History

Holly was introduced when Luke met her during a camping trip. He saw her swimming and was immediately smitten. They ended up having a one-night stand. Unbeknownst to Luke, Holly orchestrated the meeting. Holly was a key player in an oil scam meant to swindle the citizens of Port Charles. Luke refused to believe that Holly was a professional grifter and went to great lengths to prove she was innocent but eventually Holly was forced to admit the truth. When Holly helped Luke to bring down her family, Holly was kidnapped. Luke and Robert Scorpio traveled to Vancouver Columbia to rescue Holly and recover the money stolen by her ex-cohorts. Still hurt over Holly's deception and unable to fully trust her, Luke and Holly ended up having a terrible argument. In a fit of anger, Luke packed his things and headed to the mountains. Shortly afterwards, news arrived that there had been an avalanche. Since Luke had disappeared everyone believed he'd been killed. The truth was, Luke had broken his back and was recuperating in a remote hospital. To make matters worse, Holly discovered that she was pregnant with Luke's child and about to be deported. To honor his friend, Robert offered to marry Holly and help raise Luke's child. Sadly, shortly after the wedding Holly suffered a miscarriage.

Both Robert and Holly received a shock when Luke returned to town very much alive. Luke was deeply hurt to find out his best friend and his ex-lover not only married but had fallen in love. Later that year though, after Luke was elected mayor, Laura returned to Port Charles and Luke's loving arms.

In 1985, Anna Devane came to town and struck up a friendship with Holly. Holly was shocked to learn that her friend shared a past with Robert. After discovering Robert and Anna were former WSB partners, Holly demanded the truth. Holly thought the only thing Robert was concealing was his guilt over Anna's scar. She was not prepared when he revealed that Anna was his wife! Holly was outraged! She stormed out of their penthouse and headed for London, determined to stay away from Robert. Eventually they reconciled and decided to move to Australia but before they could leave Robert found a young girl in his home. It would later be revealed that the young girl was his daughter, Robin whom Anna kept secret. When Robin overheard Anna and Robert talking, she realized that they were her parents. Hurt, she ran away and ended up in General Hospital where she was later kidnapped after she found some precious black pearls. Robert and Anna eventually found her and Robert left for Australia to be with Holly.

He returned in 1987 with the sad news that Holly had been killed in a plane crash. In 1992 after Robert and Anna married, Holly returned to Port Charles. It turns out that she had been in a car accident and had been in a coma. Realizing that Robert was in love with Anna, Holly decided to stay away from Robert.

Before going in search after his kidnapped "wife" Anna, Robert had divorce papers drawn up to dissolve his marriage to Holly. However, after his and Anna's death, Holly tore up the divorce papers, helped Mac care for Robin for a while and dated Bill Eckert, Luke's look-alike cousin, before leaving Port Charles in 1993.
