Miscarried Baby Girl McCall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baby Girl McCall is a fictional character in the town of Port Charles on the American soap opera General Hospital. She was the daughter of Samantha "Sam" McCall and mob boss Sonny Corinthos. Sam had an affair with Sonny which resulted in her pregnancy. She initially planned to abort the baby, but Sonny's best friend, Jason Morgan convinced her not to abort or leave town and offered to raise the baby as his own. When Sonny's other daughter Kristina Davis was ill and needed a bone marrow transplant, Alexis Davis, Kristina's mother, asked Sam to induce early labor for the purpose of harvesting stem cells which would help Kristina. Sam refused, which led to an emotional outburst and aggressive plea from Alexis; an emotionally overwhelmed Sam agreed to induce labor but she soon then fell to the ground in pain, clutching her stomach. Sam was rushed to the ER and Baby Girl McCall was stillborn. Although initially believed by Sonny and Jason to be stress-induced from Alexis' yelling at Sam, it was later determined that the death was because of a pre-existing condition in which the placenta separated from Sam's uterus. While Sam was recovering, Sonny Corinthos authorized the harvesting of the stillborn's stem cells at the request of Alexis and Kristina continues to be in good health. Sam has often been shown to have some delusions about the events that transpired during this storyline; often blaming Alexis for her daughter's death, despite the medical conformation that her daughter's death was blameless and insisting that Sam gave up her daughter and the stem cells that saved Kristina, despite the fact that Sonny gave the final authorization to harvest the stem cells after the baby's death while Sam lay unconscious. Baby Girl McCall's final resting place is in a Port Charles cemetery where Sam continues to visit her.
