General Hospital Spoilers – A Large Uncut Diamond Painted Black
The Ice Princess storyline began on GH in 1981, when Edward Quartermaine’s (most recently John Ingles) niece Alexandria Quartermaine (Renee Anderson) came to Port Charles. She began working at ELQ and hired Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) to do some detective work, wanting to find her competitors, the Cassadines. Luke, having come from working for Frank Smith (most recently Joe Cortese) was suspicious, but Alex assured him it was legit.
One day, Luke came home to find his apartment ransacked and was held at gunpoint by some Australian guy looking for information about “The Ice Princess.” It turned out to be Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) undercover as a financier and he explained what “The Ice Princess” was since Luke had no idea.
GH Spoilers – A Large Uncut Diamond Painted Black In A Statuette
Robert explained that “The Ice Princess” was a statuette, containing a large uncut diamond that was painted black, mounted on a pedestal; Luke agreed to help find it. To find it for the Quartermaines, Luke demanded a hefty sum, but Robert wanted it too and outbid them at $50,000 to find it for him. In 1981 $50,000 was more like $500,000 and Luke jumped at the chance; but when shipped to Port Charles Alex found it had been stolen when she went to claim it. Luke, Robert, and Alex were all after it but so was one of the Cassadine brothers, Tony Cassadine (Andre Landzaat) who also went by Tony Castle. Luke found that a woman named Emma Lutz (Merrie Lynn Ross) had it but thought it was ugly and donated it to Lila Quartermaine (Anna Lee) for her charity art auction.

Luke, Robert, Alex and Tony all came up with a plan to steal it on the night of the art auction, someone rigging the lights to go out. When the lights came back on, Luke was gone and so was the Ice Princess but when he came back, he no longer had it. The search began for the missing Ice Princess, Alex teaming up with Tony and Luke teaming up with Robert; the statuette’s base contained a secret formula for a powerful weapon.
Alex and Tony got their hands on the Ice Princess and its formula, and Robert revealed to Luke, and Laura, now Laura Collins (Genie Francis) he was a WSB agent.
