The Scorpios and Joneses are fictional families on the American soap opera General Hospital, which is set in the fictional town of Port Charles, New York. Overtime the two families intertwined and became one large blended family, that is often referred to as the Scorpio/Jones family. The Scorpio family was introduced in December 1980 by head writers Pat Falken Smith and Margaret DePriest, when Robert Scorpio arrived in town to assist Luke Spencer in locating a rare diamond called the Ice Princes. Four years later, the Jones family was introduced in 1984 by Gloria Monty, when Frisco Jones arrives in town, after he is hired to be the lead singer of "Blackie and the Riff Raff." The Scorpio and Jones families are known for their many adventures, with several members of both families working as secret agents with the fictional World Security Bureau. The Scorpio family is also known for its' feud with international criminal, Cesar Faison, which was prevalent in the 1990s and returned to the screen in 2012, with Faison's kidnapping of Robert and Anna's daughter, Robin. The Jones family rose to popularity in the 1980s, with the romantic pairing of Frisco and Felicia Jones, which later came to be known as a supercouple. The two families became most blended when Mac Scorpio married Felicia Jones and became a father to Felicia's two daughters, Maxie and Georgie. Both families are currently represented by; Mac, Maxie, Lucas and Emma.
