A member of the esteemed HARDY family, 15-year-old spitfire Elizabeth Webber burst into Port Charles as a mischievous teenager, sent to live with grandmother Audrey Hardy and sister Sarah Webber after their parents left for a foreign medical mission. Her already rocky relationship with sister Sarah was compounded by the fact that the object of Elizabeth's affections - Lucky Spencer - had feelings for Sarah. Elizabeth schemed to turn Lucky's head her way by making Sarah look bad, even attempting to frame her for cheating by stealing test answers and planting them in her bag.

But everything changed for the young teen on the night of Port Charles High's Valentine's Day dance. While in the park, Elizabeth was attacked and raped. Lucky came across her and immediately took it upon himself to take care of her. He became a pillar of support for Elizabeth, helping her recover both mentally and physically. All the while, Lucky and Elizabeth were falling in love.

Meanwhile, friend Emily Quartermaine began being blackmailed with altered photos in which Emily appeared nude. Together with Lucky's estranged half-brother Nikolas, Emily, Lucky and Elizabeth worked to find the culprit. Elizabeth and Emily found themselves in danger when the blackmailer was believed to be a photographer named Tom. While being held at gunpoint in Tom's photography studio darkroom, Elizabeth and Emily learned another disturbing secret - Tom was also Elizabeth's rapist. Lucky and Nikolas, who had finally reconciled, were able to locate Elizabeth and Emily, saving them from Tom and getting him arrested. The quartet's harrowing experience cemented their lifelong friendship and the Four Musketeers was born.

As their high school days were coming to an end, Lucky and Elizabeth prepared for a future together, planning to move to New York City where Elizabeth could go to art school. Lucky surprised Elizabeth with a dress and another surprise, as he took Elizabeth too a romantic chapel where they vowed to love each other forever.

However, fate, in the form of Helena Cassadine and Cesar Faison, would interfere. Staging a fire in Lucky's apartment, Helena whisked the young man off to a remote cabin where she kept him captive. Those in Port Charles believed Lucky had died, leaving behind a devastated family and his young love Elizabeth.

Emily and Nikolas did their best to comfort their friend, but Elizabeth was so distraught and uncertain to how she would be able to go on without Lucky. All their plans, all her plans, went up in smoke the day he died and Elizabeth found herself lost.

Elizabeth grew very protective of both Emily and Nikolas. When Nikolas announced he was planning to marry Katherine Bell, a woman Elizabeth disliked greatly, she dolled herself up and essentially went to Jake's Bar looking for trouble. And trouble she found...A male patron took a liking to her and wouldn't take no for an answer. Jason Morgan, Emily's brother, came to her aid, rescuing Elizabeth before the man could rape her. Elizabeth poured out all her troubles to Jason as he did the same with her.

Danger came knocking when Jason was shot by mob boss Moreno. Elizabeth rushed to Jason's aid, taking him to her studio. While Jason refused to let her contact the police or boss Sonny Corinthos, Elizabeth went behind his back, enlisting Lucky's aunt Bobbie for help to treat Jason. Elizabeth managed to convince Jason to stay at her studio until he was fully recovered. Spending much time together, Jason and Elizabeth became very close friends. But that friendship would put Elizabeth in danger herself. Mob boss Sorel placed a bomb in Elizabeth's studio. Jason saved Elizabeth, but came to the realization that he was putting her in danger because of their relationship. To keep her from harm's way, Jason left Port Charles, but not before taking Elizabeth on a bike ride.

Elizabeth finally felt as though she had come to terms with losing Lucky. Meanwhile, Nikolas found evidence that Lucky was, in fact, alive. After shocking Elizabeth with this information, the pair traveled to New York City in search of Lucky. They weren't able to find him, but Lucky saw them. A short time later, Lucky returned to Port Charles and came face-to-face with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was ecstatic at Lucky being alive, but Lucky did not share the sentiment. Something had happened to Lucky during his captivity - he was very different. Every time Elizabeth tried to reach out to him, he would push her away, saying things had changed. Elizabeth was confused by his coldish behavior towards her, but she knew, in her heart, that Lucky loved her and time would help them reconnect. It seemed that things were looking up for the couple, but then suddenly he pushed her away again. Things became even odder when Lucky began trying to push Elizabeth and Nikolas together.

Another blackmailing attempt on Emily reunited the Four Musketeers, both physically and mentally, as Lucky and Elizabeth were able to reconnect more. However, Lucky still kept pushing Elizabeth away. Soon, Lucky began to realize something was wrong with him. Elizabeth stumbled upon Helena using a trigger phrase to control Lucky and realized that Helena had brainwashed Lucky. Soon, Lucky began to seek treatment under Dr. Kevin Collins, to help him get out from Helena's control.

Thinking he was free from Helena's mind-control, Lucky and Elizabeth reunited. However, the damage Helena had done proved to be too much for the young couple to overcome. Helena had managed to brainwash Lucky into forgetting his love for Elizabeth. The pair tried, but could not recapture their love. Elizabeth's newly returned sister Sarah caught Lucky's eye and they began an affair. In the midst of this, Elizabeth and Gia were involved in a car accident. Nikolas tried to hide the fact that Gia was at fault, but Lucky found out. But instead of telling Elizabeth, he kept it from her. However, Elizabeth found out and she severed her friendship with Nikolas and Gia and broke up with Lucky.

Meanwhile, Maxie Jones had developed a crush on Lucky. He tried to let her down gently, but she was devastated. To back at Lucky for hurting her, Maxie told Elizabeth she had seen Lucky and Sarah go to his room. Elizabeth found them and felt shocked and betrayed, splintering further her relationship with Lucky.

Newly returned Jason Morgan provided Elizabeth some comfort upon the demise of her and Lucky's relationship. However, Jason's dangerous life and closeness to Sonny's sister Courtney and Elizabeth's affair with Zander Smith doomed a potential romantic pairing and strained their friendship.

While attempting to get over Jason, Elizabeth met Ric Lansing, a newcomer who was living at Kelly's. They began dating and eventually fell in love. However, Ric was harboring a big secret - he was Sonny Corinthos' half-brother and was determined to get revenge on Sonny causing him to grow up without his mother.

Elizabeth learned she was pregnant, and searching her heart, forgave Ric for keeping his true identity a secret from her. The couple married and prepared for life as new parents. Unfortunately, Ric's ex Faith Rosco, a mob widow, still had her sights set on Ric and in an attempt to frame her enemy Sonny Corinthos, Faith pushed Elizabeth down a flight of stairs. The trauma caused Elizabeth to miscarry, but, while devastated, Elizabeth knew that she wanted to have child.

To help Elizabeth recover from the miscarriage and to raise her spirits, Ric surprised Elizabeth with a house of their own. Unfortunately, Ric failed to mention that the house had a panic room in it. Believing Sonny had been responsible for Elizabeth's miscarriage, Ric had concocted a nefarious plot to kidnap Sonny's pregnant wife Carly, hide her in the panic room and steal Sonny and Carly's child when it was born. Elizabeth's desire to get pregnant again threatened his plan so he began slipping birth control pills into her food and drinks and even bribed a fertility specialist to tell Elizabeth she could not conceive a child. All this was to convince Elizabeth to consider adopting a child.

Ric placed his plan into motion, kidnapping Carly from Jason and Courtney's wedding and trapping her in the panic room. Oblivious to what was happening, Elizabeth went about her life even surviving an attempt on her life by Faith, who poisoned her lemonade. One day, while she was cleaning, Elizabeth happened upon a button in the bookshelf. Curious, she pressed it and to her shock the door to a secret room opened. Carly threw herself at Elizabeth, begging to be released and telling Elizabeth each and every detail of Ric's plan. Partly from shock and partly from an embolism caused by Ric's mismanagement of the birth control pills, Elizabeth collapsed. Help arrived and Elizabeth survived the ordeal, but she was devastated to learn of her husband's duplicity and turned him over to the police.

Luckily for Ric, Carly was no longer at the Lansing's home. She had been set free by Lorenzo Alcazar, who promptly kidnapped her for himself. Hoping to make things right, Ric offered his help to Sonny and Jason to help find Carly. Elizabeth worried about him, but realized that she could not spend her life with someone who could do what Ric had done to Carly. Elizabeth and Ric separated.

Elizabeth's life was temporarily derailed after she was hit by a car, resulting in temporary blindness. Still in love with his wife, Ric tried desperately to help her, but Elizabeth kept pushing him away. She eventually regained her sight, but found herself still drawn to Ric. Unsettled, Elizabeth again turned to Zander.

When Elizabeth found out she was pregnant, her and Ric reconciled and remarried. Elizabeth was stunned to discover that Zander, not Ric, was the father of her child. Panicking, Elizabeth tried to hide the information. Ric found out, confronting Elizabeth, but surprising her by saying that he still wanted to be with her and he wanted to be a father to the child. In order for Ric to adopt the child, however, Zander had to give up his parental rights. Zander refused and attempted to blackmail Ric into framing Nikolas, who was having an affair with Zander's wife Emily, for murder.

The disastrous Port Charles fire became the scene of numerous confrontations with Zander by numerous people, among them Ric, Elizabeth and Nikolas. A corpse found in the basement of the hotel was believed to be Zander's when Maxie came forward to reveal that Zander had been hiding out in the basement. Ric, Elizabeth, Nikolas and Emily all began receiving posthumous letters from Zander blaming their respective significant other's for his murder. Ric, Nikolas and Emily admitted to having confrontations with Zander prior to his death as suspicion fell on them. Elizabeth then admitted to Ric that she had fought with Zander and had knocked him out with a pipe prior to the fire, causing him to die when the fire engulfed the building. Ric refused to let Elizabeth take the fall and promptly helped her cover up her role in Zander's death.

All were surprised when Zander turned up alive. Still in love with his wife, Zander kidnapped Emily. Elizabeth, fearing for her best friend's life, called the police leading to a standoff. Having decided to release Emily, Zander essentially tricked the police into shooting him by feigning a threat on Emily's life. Zander died from the wounds, leaving Elizabeth and Ric to raise their child.

Ric and Elizabeth tried to make it work, but Ric could not let go of his vendetta against Sonny. Frustrated, Elizabeth left Ric and also left town. Later, Elizabeth's grandmother Audrey informed Ric that Elizabeth had given birth to a baby boy.

Elizabeth returned to town with her son whom she had named Cameron, after Zander's father Cameron Lewis, who had died in the Port Charles Hotel fire. Elizabeth and Ric came face-to-face, but Elizabeth soon realized that Ric had fallen for fellow attorney Alexis Davis.

Elizabeth turned her attention to helping best friend Emily cope with an odd situation with Nikolas. He had gotten into a car accident after learning that Emily had been kidnapped by Zander. The accident had left him without his memory, but those in Port Charles had believed he had perished when his car was found in the river. Discovering Nikolas was alive, Emily attempted to make him fall in love with her again. Complicating matters, however, was the fact that Nikolas believed himself to be a happily married Connor Bishop. Nikolas eventually regained his memory and returned to Emily and the Four Musketeers were again reunited. However, Connor's widow Mary, who had fallen for Nikolas, went crazy and attempted to kill Emily. She ended up killing Lorenzo Alcazar's niece Sage. Nikolas eventually was forced to shoot her to save Emily and she later died at General Hospital.

Nikolas and Emily got engaged, infuriating his psycho grandmother Helena. She placed a curse on them and tried to stop the wedding with the help of Tracy Quartermaine. In a struggle, Nikolas killed Helena. But there was a witness - the real Connor Bishop. Connor had returned to PortCharles to reunite with his wife, but found she had died because of Nikolas and Emily. Connor began to stalk Emily and attempted to blackmail Nikolas with his knowledge of Helena's murder, but Nikolas turned himself in and was sent to prison. Lucky and Elizabeth attempted to help Nikolas and Emily survive this ordeal. While helping with Nikolas and Emily's wedding, Elizabeth admitted to Emily that she still had feelings for Lucky, who had meanwhile, been falling back in love with Elizabeth. The pair began to reconnect at Nikolas and Emily's wedding where they were Best Man and Maid of Honor, respectively. But both decided to take it slow.

Lucky and Elizabeth continued to help Emily with trying to get Nikolas out of prison. The trio tried to swap a newly returned, and seemingly contrite Connor for Nikolas. However, the plan didn't work. Having happened upon information that Helena might actually be alive, Luke came up with a plan to flush Helena out, using Connor and Emily as bait, with Connor pretending to be Nikolas. A wary Nikolas reluctantly agreed to the plan so long as Lucky and Elizabeth were there to help out.

When the plan went wrong, Emily was rushed off to a safe house with Connor. One night, after Lucky and Elizabeth had left, Connor got drunk and raped Emily. Emily stabbed him with garden shears and when he tried to attack her again, she shot him. Lucky and Elizabeth arrived to find Connor dead. Lucky buried Connor while Elizabeth dealt with a very distraught Emily. Elizabeth suspected Connor raped Emily, but Emily was in complete denial. Helena managed to kidnap Emily, locking her in the Cassadine crypt. Lucky was able to find her, but was shot by Helena when he attempted to rescue Emily. Lucky was rushed to the hospital in a coma. Elizabeth stayed at Lucky's bedside as he slipped further and further into a coma. Luke had a difficult time seeing his son in a coma and took it upon himself to pull the plug. Fortunately, Skye showed up in time to turn the machines back on. A legal battle ensued and Luke was forced to stay away from Lucky. Luke snuck back in and pulled the plug again. This time when Skye showed up, Lucky was breathing on his own.

After a near-death experience in which Elizabeth was the only one to keep him front "walking to the light," Lucky woke up from his coma and started his recovery. Lucky told Elizabeth that he figured out Emily was raped. Lucky agreed to stay at Wyndemere with Emily during his recovery. Both he and Elizabeth thought it would be good for him to be there so he could help Emily deal with her traumas. Lucky and Elizabeth were worried about Emily and continued to rally her to not give up on Nikolas. They were shocked to discover Emily's divorce papers. When they confronted her with them, Emily told them her marriage was over.

Confused by Emily's recent behavior, Nikolas asked to see Elizabeth. A jittery Elizabeth went to see Nikolas in prison. Putting two and two together, Nikolas deduced from Emily's behavior and Elizabeth's demeanor that Connor had raped Emily, Nikolas was devastated but vowed to himself to help his wife. When Emily told Nikolas she wanted a divorce, he revealed he knew what had happened. Emily assumed Elizabeth had betrayed her trust and lashed out at her. Elizabeth assured her she didn't reveal her secret and that Nikolas probably figured it out on his own.

Helena was eventually captured and Nikolas was released from prison. Lucky and Elizabeth tried to help them as much as they could, but Nikolas and Emily were at an impasse. Elizabeth really felt therapy would help Emily deal with the rape. Elizabeth explained that when she confronted her rapist, she really started healing. She suggested Emily do the same thing. Since Connor was dead, Nikolas volunteered. Nikolas didn't feel the session went well, but Emily felt she was really making progress.

As Nikolas and Emily continued to work through their problems, good things were starting to happen for Lucky and Elizabeth. Lucky was officially reinstated to PCPD, and asked Elizabeth and Baby Cam to move in with him. Things were going well for them until the reality of bills started to hit them. Lucky had a lot of medical bills from the shooting and they were in dire need of money. While working her shift at General Hospital, Elizabeth heard from Dr. Meadows about Jax and Courtney's need for a gestational host. Elizabeth paid Jax a visit and offered herself as the host. But after to talking to Lucky, Elizabeth decided against it. However, Elizabeth was moved by Jax and Courtney's plight, and eventually agreed.

The decision brought Jax into Lucky and Elizabeth's life as a prominent figure. Lucky became very jealous as Jax continued to insinuate himself into their lives by fawning over Elizabeth and buying extravagant gifts for Cameron. Lucky became very angry and him and Elizabeth tried to deal with the issues they were having as a result of the surrogacy, but things were about to boil over. Lucky and Elizabeth attended Carly's fundraiser with Nikolas and Emily. Lucky saw Jax's monetary donation to GH as his way of flaunting his money and power. Lucky didn't want to be there and left. He quickly returned to the party and told everyone the roads were closed due to the coming hurricane.

As the hurricane approached, the house had to be secured. Nikolas and Lucky were taping up the windows when Jax and Lucky got into another fight about the surrogacy. Lucky punched Jax. Jax refused to fight back and even offered to cancel the arrangement. Elizabeth considered the offer but wondered if she was already pregnant. She made it clear that if she was pregnant, she would not abort the child. Lucky admitted to Elizabeth that his pride got in the way again and he was sorry. Lucky proposed to Elizabeth who happily accepted.

Soon after Courtney arrived, Lucky and Elizabeth announced their engagement. Courtney sensed immediately that Jax wasn't happy. Jax admitted that the impending marriage would cause problems with the legality of the surrogacy. Jax approached Elizabeth and suggested they postpone the wedding till after the baby was born. When Elizabeth suggested postponing the wedding due to Jax's worries, Lucky got upset and rescinded his proposal. Elizabeth turned around and proposed to Lucky. Lucky saved Elizabeth from a tree that crashed through the window. After Lucky accepted Elizabeth's proposal, Elizabeth was hit with a dizzy spell.

Elizabeth found out she was pregnant. Elizabeth and Lucky decided they should get married immediately. They were at the courthouse when Jax interrupted the ceremony. Lucky agreed to postpone the wedding, but later, he and Elizabeth exchanged vows in the park. He believed they were married in their hearts.

Courtney and Jax were planning the nursery set up when Elizabeth stopped by. Elizabeth started giving her opinion so Courtney split. Elizabeth received a call about Lucky's shooting and fainted. When Lucky arrived to pick Elizabeth up, Jax and Lucky got into a fight over his job and how it would affect Elizabeth. Elizabeth defended Lucky but later admitted to Lucky that she worried about his job

After another particularly hard day at work, Lucky was surprised to see Jax with Elizabeth in what appeared to be a compromising situation. Jax made his exit as Lucky announced that he thought it would be best if he moved out until the baby was born because he was causing Elizabeth too much stress. Elizabeth was beside herself and fell asleep upset. She had forgotten to extinguish the candles she had set for her romantic dinner with Lucky. She woke up to an apartment full of smoke. The smoke overwhelmed her but she was able to grab Cameron and got out safely. Jax took her to General Hospital to make sure she was okay.

When Lucky, Nikolas, and Courtney heard about the fire, they rushed over to the hospital where Jax and Lucky continued to butt heads.

Jax and Courtney opened their home to Elizabeth and Cameron. Elizabeth and Courtney had a very honest discussion about the baby. Elizabeth told Lucky that she was living with Jax and Courtney until the baby was born. Elizabeth had a nightmare about giving up the baby but covered with Jax and Courtney. She decided she needed some ice cream and went over to Kelly's. She ran into Lucky and decided to hang out in his apartment upstairs. They talked about their future together as they fell asleep.

Elizabeth woke up and realized she never called Jax & Courtney to let them know where she was. Lucky took her back to Jax and Courtney's place where Jax made it clear how upset he was with Liz. Lucky stood up for his woman. Courtney sided with Lucky and Elizabeth as well, causing a huge argument. Later, Elizabeth witnessed Courtney and Nikolas kiss at the docks.

Jax presented Lucky and Elizabeth their newly repaired apartment before heading down to join Courtney in the Bahamas. While at work, Elizabeth told Monica about the kiss she witnessed between Nikolas and Courtney. Monica told Emily which led Emily to find out what was really going on. Jax and Emily discovered Nikolas and Courtney in a compromising position. Both Jax and Emily left the Bahamas determined to end their marriages.

After the situation in the Bahamas between Courtney, Nikolas, Emily & Jax, Jax fought with Lucky and Elizabeth over his intentions to divorce Courtney and raise the child on his own. Lucky reminded Elizabeth that if they were to get married before the child was born, Lucky would be the baby's legal father. Jax attempted to bribe Elizabeth into giving him custody of the child in exchange for paying for all of Cameron's future educational costs. Annoyed, Elizabeth turned him down.

Lucky and Elizabeth set up an intervention of sorts for Nikolas, Emily, Courtney and Jax, but Elizabeth developed cramps. All rushed to the hospital where it appeared people were trying to make their respective relationships better. But things weren't going well at all. Lucky told Elizabeth what he believed Jax was up to (using Courtney to get to the unborn child). Elizabeth told Courtney Lucky's suspicions but Courtney believed Jax was being completely sincere.

However, Courtney soon discovered that Lucky's claim was true and Courtney ran off to be with Nikolas. Lucky and Elizabeth tried to be there for Emily as her marriage to Nikolas imploded. Meanwhile, Courtney and Jax bitterly fought and fought. Lucky and Elizabeth were caught in the middle, but became increasingly incensed with Jax's behavior and the situation.

Elizabeth and Jax eventually agreed to an acceptable custody agreement. All seemed well. However, one night while Jax was driving Elizabeth home, they were involved in a car accident when Jax swerved to avoid hitting an unstable Carly. Elizabeth and Jax were treated at the hospital and released. Not long after, Elizabeth developed cramps and was rushed back to the hospital where Dr. Meadows revealed that Elizabeth had miscarried the baby. Devastated, Elizabeth retreated into herself. Both Lucky and Jax worked to raise her spirits. Elizabeth began to heal and Lucky and Elizabeth began plans for their wedding.

Meanwhile, even though they were divorcing, Emily and Nikolas worked together to plan the wedding of Lucky and Elizabeth's dreams. The night before their wedding, Lucky had a fight with his father and uninvited him to the wedding. Elizabeth comforted Lucky and then went separately home - Lucky to Kelly's and Elizabeth to their apartment. On the day of the wedding, everything seemed to be going wrong. Lucky's suit ripped and Elizabeth's dress didn't fit. Then Nikolas and Emily surprised Lucky and Elizabeth with a fully-planned wedding fit for a prince and princess. Before the wedding, Luke, whom Nikolas had a paid a visit to earlier, and Lucky had a father-and-son moment. Luke joined the other guests and the wedding began as Lulu and Emily marched down the aisle ahead of Elizabeth. Lucky and Elizabeth said their vows in front of their friends at Wyndemere. Nikolas and Emily then surprised them with details of their honeymoon which would start with a night at the Metro Court and then a train ride to New York City where they would spend the rest of their honeymoon.

The next morning, Lucky and Elizabeth boarded the train to New York City. They were joined by Nikolas and Emily, along with Jax and a pregnant Courtney. Lucky and Elizabeth were easily the happiest people on the train. Also on the train were Sonny, Reese, Alexis and Ric. Unbeknownst to them, mobster Manny Ruiz had a devastating plan - he had rigged it so that the 6:00pm train from Port Charles would collide with another train coming in from New York, a train on which Robin, Sam, Max and Carly were on. The trains crashed in the Glencove tunnel, trapping the passengers inside. Elizabeth discovered that Lucky had been seriously injured. Lucky woke and said his goodbyes to Elizabeth. Devastated, Elizabeth willed him to live. As Lucky had a heart-stopping moment, the tunnel began to cave in, covering the passengers...
