All My Children

(Well, since it's on first).  I know that Cliff is Bobby's daddy, and Nina is
Bobby's mommy.  I also know that Nina is not Bobby's natural mommy.  What I
want to know is this.  Is Cliff Bobby's natural dad (I think he is), and what
happened to Bobby's natural mother?

General Hospital

Who are Rick & Leslie's natural children and what's the story on the rest of
the kiddies?  (Adopted or Foster or what).

Thanks for the info.

Rick and Leslie have no children by marriage.  Leslie was pregnant with
Rick's child a few years ago but had a miscarriage, then found she
couldn't have any more.

Laura is Leslie's child by birth, but since at the time Leslie couldn't
take care of her (I wasn't watching back then so I don't know why) she
was adopted by the Vinings.

Amy is Laura's adopted sister who came to live with Leslie and Rick in
'79.

Mike was adopted by the Webbers in 1980 or so after his grandmother was
killed.  I think his coming was in some was connected to the Frank Smith
stuff on the waterfront, but I can't be certain.

Blackie was adopted by the Webbers last year.  He was a "punk kid" who
Rick decided to fix up and make something out of.

Re: AMC (I don't watch GH; it's too weird for me)   

Bobby's mommy was Sybil (sp?). She and Cliff had a fling when Nina broke
the engagement, thinking she (Nina) was going blind. Sybil was shot by
Shawn (Tom's brother) and died (she knew too much about Shawn). Cliff then
took permanent custody and Nina adopted him (after they were married).

Reading this, I see that AMC is also weird. Oh well.

Additional point of trivia -- Sybil's last name was Thorne.  She was a
nurse at the (obligatory) hospital.
