Steven Webber is a fictional character from the American ABC soap opera, General Hospital.
In late 2009, Scott Reeves was cast in the role, with Steve initially on recurring status as the head of the ER trauma unit at General Hospital.
His paternal grandfather is General Hospital's former chief of staff and one of the show's original characters, Steve Hardy.
Heather gives birth to Steven Lars on July 11, 1977 and complications immediately follow.
She had planned to put LSD in the adoptive mother, Diana Taylor's, drink to make her go insane, but little Peter accidentally swapped the glasses, and Heather lost her own mind.
Afraid to lose her child, she tried to woo Jeff, though at the time he was interested in Anne Logan, a nurse who was Audrey Hardy's niece.
Diana and Heather continued to compete for Jeff's attention, and plotting to kill each other to remove a rival.
Jeff then took his infant son (renamed from Peter Taylor Jr. to Steven Lars Webber) and left town, to keep him safe from Heather's plotting.
Off-screen, Jeff divorced Heather, married again to a woman later identified as "Carolyn", and had two more daughters, Elizabeth Webber and Sarah Webber, who grew up in Boulder, Colorado but in 1997 were sent back to Port Charles as teenagers to live with their "grandmother" Audrey Hardy, until Sarah too left the show, going to live with her father.
It was around the same time when his natural mother Heather came back as well, but other than several unplanned meetings, Steven had nothing to do with her.
Steve becomes good friends with his fellow doctors, Robin Scorpio, her husband Patrick Drake, and Lisa Niles.
When Dante Falconeri is brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound, Steve and Lisa help operate.
Steve and Cameron were involved in the ski resort bus crash that took place during late December 2010 to early January 2011.
He and Cameron both survived as did others, except for the bus driver and Ali, a good friend of Kristina Corinthos-Davis.
In May 2011, Lisa, whom Patrick and Robin have been harassed by for months, is finally outed as the deranged woman she is and arrested, but escapes from Shadybrook a week later.
During the hospital lock down in 2010, Olivia Falconeri helps Steve to save the life of Ethan Lovett after he gets shot.
In July, Steve stated that when he was 13, his grandfather told him to never show up empty-handed when taking a girl out.
On October 20, 2011, Elizabeth tells Matt that while Steve was in Memphis, he was involved with this girl and he even proposed; however, it later turned "messy".
In November 2011, a new doctor, Maggie Wurth, comes to General Hospital and it is revealed that she was the girl Steven proposed to.
When Steve finds this out, he's angry that Olivia went behind his back, and tells her that he thinks they should take a break from their relationship.
He's later approached by Jason Morgan, who tells him that Heather switched his wife, Sam's son with a stillborn infant.
Jason eventually gets proof that Téa Delgado's "son" is Sam's baby, and tells Steve this.
Todd drops off Heather's belongings to Steve, and among them, Steve finds the paternity test for Sam Morgan's child, saying that Jason is the father of her baby, not Franco, and realizes Heather switched Sam's paternity test.
Olivia is elated that Steve survived, so she quickly tasks Maxie with planning a wedding overnight.
