1984 saw Judith Chapman as Ginny Blake on "General Hospital" (via Soap Central). According to "General Hospital: The Complete Scrapbook," Ginny claimed to be the mother of Mike Webber (David Mendenhall) — the adopted son of Rick Webber (Chris Robinson), and his wife Lesley (Denise Alexander). Ginny secretly worked with D.L. Brock (David Groh), blackmailing Rick with photos of him taking a bribe. Commissioner Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) figured things out and got Ginny to admit she was an actress. 

She turned out to be Mike's real mother, suffered a heart attack, then recovered and sued for custody. Because Lesley was killed in a car accident, Rick's solution was to enter into a marriage of convenience for Mike's sake. Eventually, Ginny and Rick fell in love. Brock started to lose his mind and became an abusive maniac. Ginny confronted D.L., they struggled over his gun, and he was killed. His wife Bobbie (Jacklyn Zeman) was blamed for the killing until Scorpio figured out it was Ginny. 

Rick wanted to divorce Ginny, but Bobbie exonerated her at the trial by telling the truth about what happened. Mike Barrington (Mark Goddard), Mike Webber's real father, came to town, and ultimately, he and little Mike moved to Omaha. Ginny became pregnant by Rick, and they moved to New York (via "General Hospital: The Complete Scrapbook," 1995 Chapter – The Complete Stories – pages 91-100).
