Fictional History
Events Before Birth
When Morgan's mother, Carly Corinthos, was pregnant with him she was kidnapped first by his uncle, Ric Lansing (who intended to raise Carly's baby as his own when his wife miscarried ) and then by rival mob boss, Lorenzo Alcazar who told Sonny he would release Carly only after Sonny agreed he could transport drugs though the Corinthos' territories. Sonny agreed but he didn't want to wait for them to release Carly so he rescued her himself. But by then Alcazar had become obsessed with Carly and tried to gain her affection (even though she was already married to Sonny). He realized the only way he could get her was if Sonny was out of the way, so he paid a prostitute to dress like Sonny's 1st dead wife, Lily. "Lily" haunted Sonny and convinced him that his wife and sons would not be safe with him. So Sonny bought Carly her dream house that she could live in with the kids. On the night that Carly went over to see the place alone, "Lily" slipped up and Sonny realized the plan and raced to the house to rescue Carly.
Birth
While at the house, Carly fell down the stairs, which induced labor. Lorenzo found Carly lying on the floor in labor and started to help her deliver her baby. Sonny was outside the house when he heard Carly's screams and ran in to find Carly on the floor with Lorenzo standing over her. Sonny, not knowing what was happening, shot Lorenzo in the chest but the bullet went through Lorenzo into Carly's head. Carly was able to give birth to her son before she slipped into a coma. He was named Morgan Stone Corinthos in honor of Sonny's best friend, Jason Morgan, and Sonny's good friend who had died from AIDS, Stone Cates.
Kidnapping
Carly remained in a coma for a little while so Morgan bonded with his father and older brother, Michael, first. Unlike some older siblings, Michael was thrilled to be a big brother and treated Morgan wonderfully. However Carly and Sonny had many on again, off again marriages and fought for custody of the boys each time. In 2005, Morgan, Michael, and his half sister, Kristina, were kidnapped by Faith Roscoe who was working for AJ Quartermaine (Michael's biological father who was forced to sign away his rights to him). Morgan and Kristina were found in an airport and reunited with their family. But his older brother, his playmate, protector, and friend was still missing. When a picture a Michael suposedly dead in a wood chipper was mailed to the Corinthos', all of Port Charles believed him dead except for Carly who still felt in her heart that her son was still alive. Carly would have broken down and wallowed in despair but she stayed strong for Morgan who still needed his mother. Carly was right however, Michael was not dead. He was being held by AJ who tried to leave the country and live with his son under different names. However AJ's father, Alan, who initionally helped him saw how violent he could be and told Jason his whereabouts. Michael was rescued however he was not the same child. He was quiet and withdrawn from everyone, even Morgan. Michael was able to move on through the ordeal and returned back to a normal child.
Recently
Morgan lives primarily with Carly, Michael, and his step-father, Jasper Jacks. Michael and himself stay with Sonny sometimes, however this hasen't been recently because Sonny has been away on business. He almost drowned trying to retrieve a ball from a pond but was rescued by Sonny's neighbor, Kate Howard.
He and Michael seem to be inseperable. Michael is like his best friend and confident who always watches out for Morgan. Morgan seemes to immitate whatever Michael does which is starting to be a bad thing because Michael is turning into "a mini mobster." Sonny has told Michael to look after Morgan and especially since the death of their nanny, Leticia, and aunt Emily to show Morgan that life is fun and not scary. Michael is starting to become his own person however and not wanting to do as much with Morgan as before however it is unknown how Morgan feels about this.
So far, Morgan has not seemed to show any inclination that he is heading in his brother's direction. He is a bright, happy, curious child who loves his family unconditionally. Michael's shootings Michael finally began to realize what was happening to his family because of his father Sonny. So protect his mother, Carly, and Morgan, he bought a gun. Once Morgan was caught sneaking in a box under Michael's bed and his older brother yelled at him and told him never to come into his room again. Eventually, Sonny told Michael if he ever caught him with a gun there would be supreme consequences. Michael made an attempt to throw away the gun but accidently dropped the gun which resulted in the shooting of Kate Howard. Michael ran away and Morgan kept asking his mother when his older brother would return. Eventually, Michael returned and Morgan greeted him with affection. Michael is now in a comatose situation because he was shot in the head. Morgan does not understand this because his Mother, Carly Corinthos, refuses to leave Michael. Morgan is now being cared for by Jax and Bobbie Spencer while Carly stays at the hospital. Morgan might be adopted by Jasper Jacks because Carly does not want Sonny to be part of their lives.
