General Hospital1963

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
My mother and father met when Mikkos was still married to Helena, and they fell in love. Mikkos was as in love as any Cassadine man is capable of being - present company excluded, of course. He wanted to marry my mother. He asked Helena for a divorce. She, of course, denied it and placed a curse on them instead.

Emily Quartermaine:
Then what happened?

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
My mother started having mysterious accidents. She started having illnesses that no one could explain. She was a very strong and independent woman who just suddenly lost her spirit. She was even afraid to leave the house. So Mikkos took her away. He took her to Europe, and she came back and it was as if nothing had ever happened, she was fine.

Nikolas Cassidine:
So you think Mikkos did something to lift the curse?

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
He did something. He went somewhere, talked to somebody - whatever it was, it went away.

Ric Lansing:
But the curse was eradicated and your mother was fine.

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
She was fine until Helena...

Ric Lansing:
Until Helena what?

Alexis Davis Cassadine:
The curse didn't produce the results that Helena wanted. So she took matters into her own hands - literally - and she slit my mother's throat.
