He later married and annulled Monica's daughter Dawn Winthrop, divorced Spencer cousin Jenny Eckert, and band manager and recording company executive Lois Cerullo, the mother of his daughter Brook Lynn Ashton . He was also briefly married to Katherine Bell because she was blackmailing the family. The marriage was invalid, because at the same time, he was married to Lois as Eddie Maine!

He had a platonic marriage to Chloe Morgan, now deceased, who was a cousin of his grandmother Lila Quartermaine, and later was engaged to Alexis's long-lost sister Kristina Carter Cassadine , whose death he and Alexis blamed on Sonny Corinthos .
