No other character holds this distinction.[2] She has been portrayed primarily by Robin Christopher.

[edit] First appearance

Skye Chandler first appeared on All My Children as Antoinette Patterson Chandler, known as "Skye" the alcoholic daughter of tycoon Adam Chandler and his first ex-wife, Althea Patterson Chandler. Adam abandoned Skye and her mother when she was five. Skye's mother, Althea, was mentally ill and gave her little attention. She returned to Pine Valley as a troubled woman and was jealous of the attention that Adam gave to her half-siblings.


[edit] Character history

[edit] All My Children

On All My Children, Skye was married to Tom Cudahy and Dr. Jonathan Kinder. Many adventures and disastrous relationships followed for Skye on three different soap operas. Skye eventually learned that she had been illegally adopted by Althea who had convinced Adam that Skye was their child. Skye's biological mother was Rae Cummings, who while searching for her birth daughter discovered she was illegally adopted as well and that her own biological mother was Myrtle Fargate, the beloved landlady on All My Children.

At first Rae told Skye that her biological father was Alan Quartermaine of Port Charles and Alan's father Edward had paid Rae to give Skye up. Obviously there was some merit of truth to this and Alan and Rae had some teenage relationship because he never denied there being the possibility of his being Skye's birth father and Edward must have paid Rae money back then or he would have readily denied it when she reappeared all these years later. Skye was however accepted by the Quartermaine family and developed ties with them, particularly her presumed half-brother A.J. Eventually it came out that Rae had lied (or was mistaken and had indeed thought up until that time that Alan was the father), but Alan wasn't actually the father. Her true biological father has never been revealed, but Alan chose to adopt the adult Skye as his daughter, terminating her previous adoption by Adam and Althea Chandler. While she still calls herself Skye Chandler Quartermaine occasionally, her legal name is Skye Chandler, as has been verified on the show.

[edit] One Life to Live

On One Life to Live she was married to Ben Davidson. Later, after her divorce was finalized, she had an affair with perennial con artist Max Holden, who was still married to Blair Cramer at the time. She was the 'nanny' of Todd Manning's daughter Starr.

[edit] General Hospital

On General Hospital, Skye has been married to Jasper "Jax" Jacks and has had long-term relationships with Ned Ashton, a Quartermaine cousin, and Luke Spencer. She had a one night stand with Luis Alcazar and a short term relationship with sleazy strip club owner Coleman. After years of thinking she could not have children of her own, she discovered that she was pregnant by Luis's identical brother Lorenzo Alcazar. Lorenzo was committed to Skye long before they realized she was pregnant, and he left his life of arms-dealing for her. However, Lorenzo returned to delivering arms-shipments to protect his son Diego from returning to jail, who was on probation after ratting out a member of the Ruiz crime family. She left town for a time, after Lorenzo was framed by Manny Ruiz for the murder of Justus Ward and she thought he might be responsible. After he searched the world to find her, they reconciled. She recently gave birth to a daughter whom she named Lila Rae in honor of Lila Quartermaine and her own birth mother Rae Cummings.

Skye protected Lorenzo when he was shot by Sonny Corinthos, during a meeting when Lorenzo was trying to secure the delivery of a shipment that would guarantee his freedom from a life of crime. She temporarily took over his business dealings, and ensured the authorities didn't retrieve his sensitive shipment when "James Craig" failed to pick it up. After a brain-injury that altered Lorenzo's personality, causing him to act uncharacteristically, Skye plotted to protect Lila Rae from a man she no longer knew. Lorenzo, no longer acting like himself after the brain injury he sustained, kidnapped their daughter. After Lila was returned to her, Skye, Sonny Corinthos, and Jason Morgan plotted to kill Lorenzo. This time, they succeeded. However, Ric Lansing found evidence that proved Jason killed Lorenzo, but Jason was acquitted of all charges.

After Alan Quartermaine died, the rest of the Quartermaines began to shun Skye and her daughter out of the family. Especially Tracy, Alan's sister, who never liked Skye from the beginning. Recently, Skye has realized that she can no longer stay in Port Charles. She knew she has too much history there, none of which was very good. She is also afraid of how people will treat her daughter, Lila, because of who her father was. She doesn't want Lila to grow up feeling like an outsider, because she knows all too well what that is like. She and Lila plan to leave Port Charles and live somewhere where no one knows of her or her past. Before leaving she gave Ric Lansing the deeds to all of Alcazar's waterfront properties. Ric wanted to pay her for them but Skye told him she could never accept the money because it would be "tainted money" as she said and she didn't want that kind of money going into her new life.
