Who Revealed The Truth About Michael Corinthos' Paternity On General Hospital?

Despite having misgivings about lying to his girlfriend, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), Jason Morgan pretended to be the father of Carly's child. Both agreed that A.J. Quartermaine was too out of control to be a father. A.J. eventually recovered his memories from his night with Carly and for a short period, theorized that he could have been the baby's father. But Jason and Carly convinced him otherwise. According to Soaps, they were both also worried that if A.J. knew he was the father, his wealthy and powerful family would try to take the child once it was born.

At one point, Jason found Carly unconscious and rushed her to the hospital where she had to have an emergency C-section. The hospital called the child, "Baby Boy Roberts," and it had a heart defect that threatened its life. Jason made the decision for the baby to have surgery to fix it. As she recovered, a guilty Carly admitted that the name Roberts was a lie, (via YouTube).

After Carly and the baby got out of the hospital, she began to suffer postpartum depression and left town. Jason and Robin were tasked with taking care of the child, and Jason named him Michael after his good friend and confidante, Michael "Sonny" Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Robin, however, was not completely comfortable that they were keeping A.J. from his son, per Soap Central.
