Who Is Dillon?

Tracy’s son, Dillon, returned to GENERAL HOSPITAL today! Need a refresher course on the character’s history? Read on.

Dillon’s childhood was anything but ordinary. He spent a large chunk of those early years gallivanting the globe with his mom. Tracy’s relationship with her wealthy family was never warm and fuzzy, so Dillon became her mischievous travelling companion. Many years later, when he was a teenager, she dropped him off at the Quartermaine’s door and let him fend for himself!

Dillon’s devil-may-care attitude and zany sense of humor was endearing to some (like Georgie) and annoying to others, like his grandfather Edward, who threatened to ship him off to military school if he didn’t shape up! Dillon and Georgie quickly became a couple, a notion that his mother Tracy and her Uncle Mac abhorred. It didn’t help much when the teen started doing odd jobs for one of PC’s known mobsters, Lorenzo Alcazar. Tracy found a way to kill two birds with one stone — she’d see to it that Dillon quit his job if (and only if) Georgie broke up with him.

Heartbroken by Georgie’s rejection, Dillon lost his virginity to Alcazar’s niece, Sage… which Georgie, naturally, walked in on! Eventually, the young lovers reunited and, after a series of humorous mishaps, Dillon and Georgie finally consummated their relationship.

Together, they survived Georgie’s near-fatal fall, a campus stalker and a deadly virus that came very close to taking Dillon’s life. As he lay weak and presumably dying in a hospital bed, he and Georgie were married. Their love led to his recovery. But there was still the threat of Tracy. She was not thrilled with her son’s choice of brides, so she cut him off financially. The newlyweds were forced to move into a cheap room above Kelly’s… next door to the town thug, Diego Alcazar.

Meanwhile, Lulu had developed feelings for her stepbrother and made it her mission to break up his marriage. She told Dillon that she had seen Georgie and Diego having sex in the Quartermaine boathouse. (Shocker: Lulu lied!) Acting out, Dillon impulsively slept with Lulu. Although Dillon and Georgie were still madly in love and married, they were both so badly hurt and angry that they divorced. Just as they began to find their way back to each other, Lulu found out she was pregnant with Dillon’s child. Lulu was ecstatic; Dillon, not so much. She ended up having an abortion.

Dillon confessed his feelings for Lulu, but he wasn’t the only young gentleman after her affection. Among her suitors were Spinelli, Milo, and Scotty’s son, Logan. Around that time, Ned told his kid brother that he had arranged for him to assist his favorite director on a movie shooting in Hollywood. It was Dillon’s dream job, but he didn’t want to leave behind his mother or Lulu. Dillon’s heart was again left broke when Lulu said that she and Logan were dating. With that, Dillon packed up and headed for Tinseltown. When he later returned, he learned that Georgie had been murdered at the hands of the Text Message Killer, the man both he and Georgie knew as Diego.
