Molly Lansing-Davis[1][2] is a fictional character of ABC's General Hospital. The role is currently portrayed by Haley Pullos. Molly is the daughter of Ric Lansing and Alexis Davis. She was born on-screen on November 10, 2005. In 2009, Molly's birth year is changed to 1998.[3] In 2012, Molly states that she is 15, effectively making her birth year 1997.
Storylines
2005–08
Molly is the youngest half-sister of Sam Morgan and Kristina Davis; all three share the same mother. She is also the niece of mob boss Sonny Corinthos, which makes her both half-sister and first cousin to Kristina, as well as the youngest granddaughter of Mikkos Cassadine and the step-granddaughter of Helena Cassadine.
On November 10, 2005 Molly was born on-screen in the Glencoe tunnel with the help of Dr. Robin Scorpio, after many of Port Charles' best-known residents were involved in a train crash. Through her mother she is descended from Russian royalty, although this is only alluded to. Following her parents' divorce Ric won primary custody of Molly, with Alexis having visitation rights (although Ric and Alexis later agreed to joint custody). When Ric unexpectedly moved to Los Angeles in June 2009, Molly remained in Port Charles with Alexis.
2009–11
A SORASed Molly appeared on July 2, 2009, and was shown to be good friends with her similarly SORASed cousin Morgan Corinthos. She was precocious (often speaking to adults on their level) and romantic, often arranging evenings for Jason Morgan and Sam, and Alexis and Mac Scorpio. She was an excellent scholar with a good pitching arm, a combination she used during a September carnival to cause all the "Dunk-a-Hunks" to fall into the water. In late October, when she and Morgan were collecting water samples for her science project, they heard someone shouting for help in a warehouse on the docks. They cooked up a rescue plan and freed Johnny Zacchara from thugs who kidnapped him. Molly was upset when her sister Kristina was attacked twice by Kiefer Bauer, and when Kristina's brother Michael was sent to jail for killing his stepmother. She could not understand when she discovered Michael's father Sonny dating Claire Walsh, who prosecuted Michael during the trial. When Kiefer was accidentally killed by Alexis, his father Warren vowed revenge on Alexis and Kristina. In response a frightened Molly asked Jason to "make Mr. Bauer disappear," but Jason was unable to.
Molly, Morgan, Michael and Kristina were involved in the ski-resort bus crash during late December 2010 and early January 2011. Everyone was found, and she helped her cousin Michael by alerting the occupants of a car where they were. Shortly afterward Molly began to behave strangely, lashing out in anger for little reason. She began to research bipolar disorder, possibly thinking she suffers from it. She became convinced by a new friend, Shawn Butler, (a war veteran) that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the bus crash, and began receiving therapy.
After overhearing Theo Hoffman's telephone conversation at her mother's law firm, Molly discovered that he was the Balkan (an international crime lord who was after Brenda Barrett). She told Jason and Sam about her findings but was convinced not to tell anyone by the two, who reassured her that they will stop Theo before anything happens. However, when Brenda was apparently killed by a car bomb after her wedding to Sonny Molly blamed herself for not telling anyone (revealing to all that Theo is the Balkan).
When Michael and Morgan's mother, Carly, was divorcing Molly's godfather, Jasper Jacks, they got into a bitter custody battle over their daughter, and Morgan's sister, Josslyn Jacks. Morgan and Molly "kidnapped" Josslyn, keeping her in a barn until Jax promised not to take Josslyn away from Carly. Their plan failed when Kristina found them.
2012—
Molly is now in high school, and focused on her studies. She starts tutoring T.J. Ashford, Shawn's legal ward who recently arrived. T.J. hosts an unsupervised party at Molly's house to help her make friends, but it gets out of control, and Michael has to come and get everyone to leave. Alexis shows up, and angrily forbids Molly from seeing T.J. again. Molly goes behind her back for months, starting to date T.J., until Alexis catches both of them. She later agrees to let Molly & T.J. date with some restrictions, which they agree to. Molly finds out she's going to be an aunt when Sam reveals she's pregnant. Later, Sam reveals that Jason, her husband, is not the father because she was raped by his twin brother, Franco. Sam's baby dies, and Molly comforts her. Sam later finds out her son was switched with a stillborn baby, and Molly is ecstatic to meet her nephew, Daniel Edward Morgan. Danny is later proven to be Jason's biological son, but Jason is later presumed dead, and Molly is sad for her sister's loss.
Molly writes a romance story and shares it with Starr Manning, Michael's girlfriend. Starr likes it enough that she brings it to her father, Todd, who owns a publishing company. Todd agrees to have it published for Starr, but he loses the only copy. Later, it's revealed that Connie Falconeri, his partner, stole it and published it under her own name. Molly is furious when Connie refuses to give it back. She asks Alexis to sue Connie for her, but Alexis is caught in the legal drama of Lucy Coe and Kristina's legal problems, as well.
Molly starts spending time with Danny, babysitting him for Sam. She runs into Rafe Kovich, Jr. while babysitting Danny, and buys him a bowl of chili. He's arrested for the murder of his mother, Alison Barrington, but Molly believes Rafe's innocence. When Rafe escapes police custody, she hides him in her room. But when she leaves Danny with him, Danny is kidnapped by Heather Webber, and Rafe is exposed. Alexis refuses to let him stay and wants to turn him in, but Molly won't let her. Rafe, though, lets Alexis turn him in so Molly won't get in trouble.
When Sam & Danny go missing, Molly helps Rafe and Sam's friend, John McBain, break out of lockup to go find them, after Lucy provides a distraction. Molly is arrested for this, but later released after John, Rafe, and Lucy rescue Sam & Danny, and reveal the real killer, Stephen Clay. Connie eventually reveals Molly as the true author of the book, giving Molly the writers' credit she wanted. Meanwhile, Molly is convinced by Lucy to write the song for the opening number of the Nurses' Ball, while T.J. is assigned to create the music for it.
