[edit] Character History
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.
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.
A SORASed (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) 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).
On April 20 Molly called Dante, Morgan, Michael, and Kristina together to plan Sonny's birthday party. Carly, Alexis, Dante, Michael, Morgan, Kristina, and Molly were all in attendance when they threw the party for Sonny at the No Name Restaurant. In July, 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.
On January 5, 2012, Molly was having lunch with her sister Sam and it was mentioned on-screen that Molly is now in high school.
Molly soon befriends TJ Ashford, the son of the marine that Shawn accidentally killed in battle. TJ came to stay with Shawn, because his mother could no longer handle him. Shawn introduced him to Molly and she starts to tutor him in school and discovers that he has trouble reading. She starts to teach him learn how to read and in exchange, TJ sets up a fake MyFace account for Molly, that she names Desdemona. Desdemona is a hit on MyFace, more so than Molly's real account, where she only had her mother as a friend. TJ later throws a party at Molly's house without her permission and invites all of his friends from school. Molly is shocked when tons of people that she doesn't know, pile into her house for a party. The party starts to get out of control, and Molly calls her cousin Michael for help. She later received some spiked punch from one of the kids at the party and passes out drunk. When Michael arrives he kicks all of the kids out of the house and has them call their parents for rides. He finds Molly unconscious and helps her. Molly wakes up as Michael and TJ are arguing. The three of them start to clean the house when Alexis returns home furious.
Though Molly initially attempts to take the fall for TJ to keep him out of any more trouble, TJ ultimately admits that he was the one behind it, though he explains that he was merely trying to help Molly make friends since most of the kids at their school torment her. Nonetheless, Alexis angrily forbids Molly from ever seeing TJ again for his actions.
