Who Am I...
Son of Carly Benson Corinthos and Michael Sonny Corinthos. Same age as Karin Quartermaine he’s only a few months older. His mother was shot the day he was born and lives in a long time care facility with brain damage that has affected her memory. His father was convicted when he was six years old of the murder of Faith Ashton and executed when he was 17.
Younger brother of Dr Michael Quartermaine. Not a lot of contact. His mother gave birth to another son he was 8– raised as Robert Morgan, by Dr Robin Morgan and Jason Morgan. Found out when he was 17 years old that he has an older sister, Kristina Ashton. Found out by the reading of his father’s will.
Grandson of Mike Corbin and Bobbie Spencer. Sorta cousin of Lesley Lu and Lucky Spencer.
Graduated from Queen of Angels High School– discipline problem/especially his junior year. Spent summer between Junior and senior year in Paris with Anna deVane. Got it done his senior year and then got the hell out of Port Charles.
College at University of Miami– double major Spanish/business basically going year round because he has no interest in going back to port charles for longer than a long weekend. Kicked out of college housing after his second year. Did the rush thing but he and the frat parted company when he got the better of the hazing process. (See link to president of local fraternity chapter in hospital with broken jaw and hand. No charges filed. Addendum story, local fraternity chapter disavowed by national charter.) Did summer in Caracas at the Universidad Central de Venezuela. The following year did summer in Peru at the Universidad de Lima. Summer between graduation and law school stuck around Coral Gables and just vegged.
Law School University of Miami.– international business specializing in south and central america.
Money
Trust funds from:
- Alan/Monica Q– not as big as Robbie’s but significant --covered all college expenses including law school.
- Courtney Matthews– primary heir (tapped piece of principle to buy house)
- Jason Morgan– administering the estate of Sonny C.
Housing
After the fiasco with fraternity picked up a house in Coral Gables that was in foreclosure. While a good deal it wasn’t cheap and he tapped a trust fund left to him by Courtney Matthews, his aunt– the closest he had to a mother for the first few years of his life, to get it. The taxes alone, not including upkeep are 3000 a month. It’s right on the canal. 4 bedroom– so he has 3-5 roommates all guys. Most are guys he’s known since college. Some of them are international students. They all like to party but not at the house... cept on weekends. Reality check is that they are not going to get anything better than this for $1000 a month and a share of the utilities. Our Guy has the master suite but he also makes sure that weekly maid service is included as part of the base rent. Always been able to find a good mix of guys who may like taking care of the boat, the pool, or the grounds. But there is nobody who likes cleaning the bathrooms or are actually good at doing their own laundry. Maid service is a must. Guys leave for disrespecting the property or because they are moving in with their girlfriends– as they are basically being charged enough to cover the taxes and not much beyond that. He’s not going to lose money on the investment.

Relationship to CSMC
More than he knows. It’s the only way that he’s been able to keep Maid service for the last 5 years. Kristina came to his graduation from Queen of Angels. It was the first time he’d seen her in person other than the reading of their father’s will. After Graduation she’d handed him the business card with the emergency number along with a credit card with a preset monthly limit on it that is drawn on a dollhouse company in Port Charles. He has the CSMC emergency number and has used it twice in the last seven years. Once when he was looking at being arrested for going medieval on the frat president and then again when he’d been in the hospital and a time crunch getting to Atlanta. He’d been relieved the first time he called and Kristina hadn’t been the one answering the phone. He didn’t want an I told you so or even a relationship. Had no interest in a relationship with Kristina Ashton. Has never used the credit card probably doesn’t realize that it was a debit card and the monthly amounts have been adding up on the credit rather than the debit side.
