Hughes auditioned for the role of Anna in early 1985, about three months after she relocated to New York City. About two weeks later, Hughes was shocked when she actually got hired because the role was originally written for an American actress. In late 1991, rumors circulated that Hughes had been fired. However, instead during contract negotiations, she took advantage of an out clause to work on another project. Hughes last taped scenes aired during December 16, last airing on December 17, 1991. If negotiations went well, Hughes was slated to return by the spring of 1992. In the interim, she was replaced by Camilla Moore who made her first appearance December 20, 1991. Moore last appeared on January 20, 1992 and Hughes returned to the role for one episode on February 25, 1992. Hughes briefly returned from November 13 to 22, 1995 as Anna 's spirit to comfort the character 's daughter Robin Scorpio ( Kimberly McCullough ), who is dealing with the loss of her boyfriend to AIDS - related illness and is herself HIV - positive. On All My Children, when Hughes reprised the role of Alex in February 2001 after her maternity leave, Hughes also made her first appearance as Anna on March 2, 2001. In late July 2003, All My Children announced that Hughes would exit in the role of Anna when her contract expired. Hughes made her final appearance on September 11, 2003. An ABC spokesperson hinted that Hughes could return to the series in a recurring capacity but she never did. Rumors immediately followed that Hughes would return to GH. However, Hughes later revealed in an interview that she was open to a return, but had not been contacted by the series. When Tristan Rogers returned to the series as Robert in 2006, many speculated that Hughes would return to the series as well. However instead, Emma Samms instead returned to the series. Samms and Rogers 's returns intensified speculation that Hughes would eventually reprise her role, Though initial reports hinted that Hughes refused to return, ABC finally confirmed Hughes 's return in April 2006. Hughes first reappeared May 12, 2006. Hughes concluded her stint on August 30, and returned once again from July 13 to August 24, 2007. In late March 2008, it was announced that Hughes would make a return to General Hospital. Hughes reappeared on April 25, 2008 and concluded her return stint on May 7, 2008. Days later, it was announced that Hughes would soon join the cast of The Young and the Restless and was slated to begin airing on June 19, 2008. At the time, Hughes was not contractually obligated to ABC, so accepted the four episode guest stint. However, Michael Logan of TV Guide later reported that ABC pressured Hughes into dropping out of the role in favor of a `` big '' storyline for the summer on GH. Hughes who was scheduled to start taping on May 28, was never actually replaced and her character was never introduced onscreen. On December 11, 2011, TV Guide confirmed that Hughes would return to General Hospital starting in mid January and would reappear just in time for February Sweeps. Hughes first airdate was slated for the week of February 13, 2012. On April 6, 2012, executive producer, Frank Valentini announced on Twitter that Hughes had been placed on contract with the series. In October 2015, it was reported that Hughes has inked a deal with the series and will remain in the role of Anna. Storylines 1985 -- 92 Anna Devane was a spy with the WSB prior to 1985. In those early days, she fell in love with and secretly married her colleague WSB agent Robert Scorpio. The two agents experienced an incredible whimsical romance that would remain in their hearts and memories forever, however tragedy ensued. In a take - down caper, Robert seriously injured a double agent or traitor who was working with the nefarious rival agency, the DVX. Robert was shocked to discover that this agent was indeed his beloved Anna. Feeling shocked and betrayed, Robert insisted on a divorce and walked away from Anna. Anna gave Robert his divorce, but also gave birth to their daughter, Robin Scorpio in secret. Anna remained deeply scarred for many years ( as did Robert ), but carried on for the sake of her daughter. In 1985 Anna, arrives in Port Charles where Robert is now living with Holly Sutton Scorpio, a women he married for reasons of convenience, but eventually came to love. At first, Anna tries to undermine Robert 's marriage to Holly, but soon realizes that Robert is truly happy with Holly and that Holly is not so bad. Eventually, the truth comes out about Robin, however, and a new long term friendship is forged between Anna an Robert - based largely on their connection through Robin, but also on deep feelings that they will always hold for each other. Eventually, Anna becomes Police Chief of the Port Charles Police Department and develops a new love interest in Port Charles nightclub owner and erstwhile mobster, Duke Lavery, who tries to break ties with the mob for love of Anna. Duke and Anna attempt to get married but on their wedding day, a dark secret is revealed about Duke 's past. Mid-ceremony, reporters crash the wedding, disrupting it. Camelia, a woman involved in these past events and who loves Duke has memories that come rushing back to her causing her to realize that she killed Evan Jerome of the Jerome mob family. Duke was involved in covering up this reality and kept all of this a secret for many years. ( Camelia is eventually acquitted of the crime in Canada, though realizes that she can never win Duke 's love, and leaves Port Charles. ) Because of the strains and publicity around these past events and Duke 's mob connections, Anna breaks up with Duke and resigns as Police Chief. She starts her own PI agency and is delighted to have her ex-husband Robert Scorpio return to Port Charles to be her partner. Robert came back with the sad news : Holly had died in a plane crash. Robert tries to win back his former love, Anna, but she chooses to reunite with Duke. A forlorn Robert Scorpio quietly observed Duke and Anna 's rekindled bliss. He watches with a broken heart as they finally successfully marry in a glorious Scottish wedding. At one point in their adventures together, Anna was kidnapped by a psychotic enemy of Robert Scorpio, who was originally after Robin, but was happy to take Anna instead - knowing of Scorpio 's close relationship with his ex-wife. To find Anna, Duke desperately turned to underworld crime boss Victor Jerome ! Putting together the clues, both Duke and Robert independently tracked down Grant in the Adirondack Mountains. In a final snowmobile chase, Robert caught up to Grant. In a heart - stopping climax, he rescued the evil killer just as he was about to plummet from a cliff. After subduing Grant, Robert turned to Anna, who raced into his comforting arms, her ordeal finally over ! Just then, Duke arrived on the scene and stood in stunned silence as he witnessed the sight of his wife in her ex-husband's arms. Duke Lavery struggled to keep his underworld involvement under wraps. When Victor Jerome 's son, Julian, took a bullet meant for Duke, he made a deathbed request of Duke to help his father legitimize the mob. Back in Port Charles, a grieving Victor intended to hold Duke to his promise ! Meanwhile, Victor 's brassy blonde daughter, Olivia, showed a strong attraction to Duke. Secretly, Olivia was obsessed with ruling the mob. Only a select few knew that it was Olivia who ruthlessly ordered the hit on her brother, Julian. When Olivia realized she could n't lure Duke from his pregnant wife Anna, she decided to kill him. But Anna became her unintended victim when she was caught in an elevator rigged to crash ! Anna was rushed to General Hospital, where the fall cost her the life of her unborn baby. Later, Olivia was gunned down in her hotel suite. When the police arrived, they discovered Anna, holding a gun, standing over Olivia 's fallen body. While Olivia lay comatose in General Hospital, Anna was charged with attempted murder. The real killer turned out to be Olivia 's one - time henchman, Dino, who was also revealed to be Victor Jerome 's illegitimate son. A triumphant Anna watched with glee as Olivia was found guilty and shipped to a mental institution. Though she would escape on several occasions, Olivia 's long reign of terror against Anna was finally over ! But so was Anna 's marriage. After Duke testified against the mob, his life -- and that of his loved ones -- was in danger. Fearing that Anna and Robin were in danger, Duke sacrificed himself. He faked his own death in a warehouse explosion. Resigned to his fate, Duke secretly entered the Witness Relocation program. Later, a man named Jonathan Paget, who seemed to be Duke with plastic surgery, appeared on the scene. He convinced Anna that he was indeed the husband whom she believed to be dead. Eventually, this individual was shot by Julian Jerome and dies in Anna 's arms. Anna is again heartbroken and is left believing that Julian Jerome was responsible for her husband 's death. ( The real Duke somehow wound up in a Turkish prison for many years, and only made a return to Port Charles decades later. ) Anna eventually got past her grief and found herself romantically involved once again with her old flame, Robert Scorpio. Anna and Robert experienced a wonderful romance once again, remarried in a beautiful garden wedding complete with an Australian aboriginal guard and all their friends gathered around. They settled down in wedded and family bliss with their daughter Robin, but the happy ending was short lived. Continuing to live adventurously and on the edge, Robert and Anna were undermined by their enemies and both presumed dead after an explosion in 1992. 2001 -- 03 Super-spy Anna Devane was found alive after a decade of supposedly being dead. Her twin sister, Alexandra Marick ( also played by Hughes ), found her in a cabin in Canada near death. Alex and Anna 's guardian, Bart, took her to Pine Valley and put her in the hospital under Alex 's name so as not to arouse suspicion. Dimitri Marick and Edmund Grey helped with the charade. Dimitri opened his home to his sister in law. Anna could not remember where she had been in the last decade, but did remember that she was a spy who had many enemies. The Wildwind crew decided to keep everything between them so as to protect as many people as possible. But more and more people became involved, including Dimitri 's niece Gillian Andrassy and her husband Ryan Lavery. This would prove fatal for Gillian who was killed by the assassin sent to kill Anna. Anna felt as if she put everyone in harms way and wanted to get out of Pine Valley. But, her brother Gabriel gave her reason to stay and rebuild her life. Gabriel, Alex, and Dimitri returned to Hungary to comfort Gillian 's family. Edmund told Anna she could either go with them or stay with her new family here. She stayed and began a new arc in her life. She even helped Ryan, who she learned to be her cousin by marriage to Duke Lavery, in finding his reason to live. Daughter Robin Scorpio made her way to Pine Valley to see her mother. The two embraced in finding each other again. Unfortunately, their time was cut short, as Anna still believed her life to be in danger. She sent her daughter back to Paris to protect her from suffering the same fate as Gillian. Federal Agent Chris Stamp enlisted her help in solving the Proteus case. She fell in love with prime suspect, David Hayward, and helped exonerate him. His drugs where created in hopes of saving his beloved Dixie Martin from her heart problem. Not wanting to testify against him on other drug charges, they eloped in her fourth marriage invoking the martial confidentiality clause. Vanessa Cortlandt, David 's mother, was discovered to be Proteus. Someone wanting to get Vanessa 's drug money by threatening to kill Leo du Pres, David 's brother, drugged her. Anna was able to stop him moments before shooting Leo even under the influence of a drug. Anna was offered the job of Police Chief against DA Jackson Montgomery 's wish who could not believe an officer would shoot while under the influence of a drug. Eventually, the two grew close. Maybe too close even for David. Her family grew when her nephew Aidan Devane made it to Pine Valley. Between David and Aidan 's troublemaking, she was one busy Police Chief. The marriage was cut short with the revelation that David had drugged and hid Anna 's sister in law Maria Grey from her family for over half a decade. She could not be with a man who tore apart a family like what happened to her. At the same time, she discovered she was pregnant. David did everything he could to work his way back into Anna 's life, including admitting to some crimes and giving up his job at the hospital for one at the free clinic. Anna 's life was almost taken at the clinic when frightened juvenile delinquent Reggie Porter held her at scalpel point. David professed his love for Anna at that point, and the two reconciled. Their baby had a heart problem, so Anna had to go to a specialist in Switzerland for help. David could not leave because of his probation, but arranged for Robin to take care of Anna while she was abroad. The surgeon suffered a stroke moments before the repairing surgery was to be done in Anna 's uterus. David was allowed to fly out a conduct the surgery. They saved Anna and the baby. Leora Hayward was soon born and took the namesake of the late Leo du Pres. Leora needed another surgery, but David did not want it. Anna signed off the papers without him and Dr. Joe Martin continued with the surgery. Leora did not make it through and David blamed the Martins, who he thought where trying to claim revenge for his past acts against them, for Leora 's death. Anna tried to help him, but he pushed her farther away. Anna turned to Jackson again for comfort. On the day of the funeral, Anna told David he had to let go. Weeks later he plotted to wipe the memories of the Martin family at the July 4th celebration, but Anna was able to stop him. In the cabin, they fought and cried together and realized they could not mourn the life of their daughter without each other. When they fall to the floor holding each other, a little girl is seen at the doorway, unseen by them. She smiles to herself and walks out of the cabin, shutting the door behind her. Anna was tired of covering for David. She discovered he and Erica Kane could have been responsible for the death of Michael Cambias. She went to the cabin and left the evidence she had found and a note for David. David came before she could leave. She told him she was going to Paris to be with Robin and she did not want him to follow her. She walked out the door and out of Pine Valley. 2006 -- 08 Anna resurfaced in the Markaam Islands in 2006, reuniting with Robert for the first time since 1992. She unceremoniously greeted him with a few good shots to the face. She returned to Port Charles in 2006 to reconnect with Robin and Robert. All the while, she is on assignment for her agency, investigating Lorenzo Alcazar. Anna spent the summer of 2007 in Port Charles where she tried and succeeded in turning Dr. Noah Drake into the drastically paranoid Eli Love to stand in for him at the LIFEbeat concert which was held to support of HIV and AIDS awareness. Anna returned to General Hospital on April 25, 2008 to learn her daughter Robin was expecting. Unable to handle this news, she got herself into a drinking contest with Luke Spencer, and became very drunk. She left on May 7, 2008, and returned on Friday, June 27, 2008. On July 18, 2008, with the return of Eli Love, Anna finally accepted the fact she was going to become a grandmother, and admitted to Robin how excited and grateful she was. On August 12, 2008, it was discovered that Anna would have a granddaughter. Anna returned to Port Charles on October 29, 2008 in time for Robin 's wedding ; Robin gave birth to daughter Emma Drake during the ceremony. When Robin fell into a coma shortly after Emma 's birth, Anna was in the hospital to give her strength. Anna went to grab Chinese food for dinner with Patrick and Robin asked Anna to be her maid of honor at her wedding. Robert, Patrick, Robin, Anna, and Mac shared a meal and toasted family. Robin summed up the meaning of family as she told each of them how much they meant to her and how grateful she was to have family around her so that they could share Christmas together. On Robin and Patrick 's wedding day, Anna danced with Patrick and told him that she would trust him with her daughter. Patrick thanked her for her trust and said that he would never stop loving Robin. As Robert watched, he flashed back to the time that he and Anna had told Robin that they were her parents and would love her forever. When Robert turned to Anna and asked if she thought about the time they had admitted being Robin 's parents, they were both stunned to learn that they had both been recalling the same moment in time. Anna remarked to Robert that she was in awe that a young woman as lovely as Robin had been conceived out of their love for each other. Anna had tears in her eyes as she looked from Robert to her daughter. In early 2010, it was hinted that Anna and Robert were once again doing espionage missions. It was also implied that she spent her free time in London. Later that same year, Robin and her daughter Emma visited Anna for a short time in London off - screen. 2012 -- Anna returned to town in 2012, as a Valentine 's Day gift from Patrick and Emma to Robin. During the visit, Robin is killed in a hospital lab explosion, leaving Anna devastated. She delivers the sad news to Mac and tries unsuccessfully to contact Robert. Robert returns to town and is told by Anna that Robin has died due to the lab explosion. Anna sends Luke after Robert who storms off after looking at Robin 's remains in the morgue. When Robert returns he tells Anna that he 's the father of Holly 's son Ethan Lovett. Luke and Holly told him that Ethan has been kidnapped by Helena Cassadine. Robert does n't want to lose another child and do right by Ethan. Robert decides to find him and leaves Anna behind before Robin 's funeral not knowing that Luke and Holly lied to him in order to give him something worth living for. After Robert left Luke starts to take care of Anna eventually feeling bad that he has to lie to her about Ethan. The friendship of the two grows as Luke asks Anna to move in with him, much to jealousy of Luke 's ex-wife Tracy Quartermaine, in his suite at the MetroCourt Hotel. Anna agrees as she does n't want to be alone. In April 2012, Anna is visited by John McBain, a former protege of hers from the FBI. As the two spend time catching up on their respective pasts, John asks Anna for assistance in taking down local mob boss Sonny Corinthos, who McBain believes to be responsible for an accident that led to the deaths of Cole Thornhart and Hope Manning - Thornhart and also killing her daughter Robin. When Anna senses that McBain 's hatred for Sonny is more personal than McBain would like to admit, he then reveals that Sonny is responsible for the death of his sister several years back during his time with the FBI, but that was revealed to be false that it was Joe Scully, Jr. that did the job and framing Sonny and making Robin 's kidnapping occur. Anna also becomes to subject of Heather Webber 's obsession, due to her involvement with Luke Spencer. After Mac Scorpio is let go from his position as Police Commissioner of the PCPD, Anna is offered the job. Anna is effective as the commissioner, as she is able to locate the body of Anthony Zacchara, Tracy 's husband who went missing. Meanwhile, Luke is kidnapped by Heather, but is found by Anna just as the cabin he is being held in is burning down. Heather shoots Luke in an attempt to shoot Anna, and she is arrested by the police. Anna later finds out she also hurt Olivia Falconeri in the orders of Sonny 's enemy Cesar Faison, Heather 's son, Steve 's girlfriend, and the mother of her fellow detective, Dante. When Heather is brought to the station, Anna comes to question her and Heather tells her Robin is alive. Anna does n't believe her initially, but later interrogates Heather at gunpoint to get answers. Heather says she saw Robin at Ferncliff Sanitarium, where Heather had been. Anna goes to Ferncliff, but Robin is n't there. However, she finds a pamphlet to a clinic in Switzerland, and decides to go there to get answers. In Switzerland, Anna pretends to be a patient in order to snoop around in hopes of finding Robin. Luke later arrives to help her search, but they do n't find her, and decide to return to Port Charles. Luke later tells Anna about the lies he told Robert, and she is n't able to forgive him. Later, Anna 's presumed deceased, ex-husband, Duke Lavery, shows up and wants to get back together with her. Initially skeptical, Duke is able to convince Anna that it is the real him, and they grow closer. Later Faison, who is obsessed with Anna shows up and it is discovered he has been wearing a mask so that he can act and look like Duke to try and win Anna 's heart. Faison pretends to be Duke for a time and Anna begins to not only believe that he is Duke, but that Duke is falling madly in love with her all over again. Just when Anna thinks she too is falling back in love with Duke, Anna begins to question the true identity of Duke / Faison. As Faison realizes Anna is beginning to find out his true identity, he takes her away to Switzerland. This is where the real Duke and where Robin are being held captive. Robert tracks Anna down and reveals the identity of Faison just prior to Anna being swept away romantically. Next, Anna and Robert find and free Duke. Robert also comes upon Robin, but is drugged by Dr. Obrecht, an attack which sends him into a long term coma. Anna and the real Duke return to Port Charles. Robin continues to be held hostage by Obrecht and Faison is imprisoned until Obrecht later frees him. Now, Duke lays low for a while, but tells Anna he still loves her with all his heart and soul. Anna is confused as Luke also wants her back, but she eventually decides to rekindle her relationship with Duke. Eventually, Robert regains consciousness and remembers seeing Robin. He and Anna then set out to locate their daughter, ultimately finding her on Cassadine Island in Greece. They are unable to free Robin and are themselves trapped on Cassadine island while Robin is transported back to Port Charles She is hidden on Spoon Island, with Faison and Obrecht, following instructions to conduct research in order to keep her parents from being killed. Robert and Anna eventually escape and free Robin. They themselves `` take care of '' Faison. Anna is now able to enjoy a reunion with her daughter in Port Charles, continued friendship with Robert and a rekindled romance with Duke. Eventually Duke becomes entangled once again with the Mob in Port Charles. This is partly sparked by the return of Julian Jerome and the Jerome Mob connections to the area. Duke makes his allegiance with Sonny Corinthos ' forces in order to oppose Julian. This active Mob involvement gradually alienates him from Anna who pleads with him to stay away from criminal activities as long as she is the Police Commissioner. Ultimately, their relationship breaks up. This happens just at the same time that it is discovered that Faison has resurfaced in Port Charles, having only been imprisoned ( rather than executed ) by Robert and Anna. Anna is in `` hot water '' with the Justice Department at this point because it is viewed by an investigating agent that she and Robert took the law into their own hands by imprisoning Faison privately. Duke and Anna reconcile in 2015, and agree to run away together but Duke is fatally shot on the docks the same night they agree to run away. Anna is once again devastated and struggles to overcome the loss of Duke. Anna becomes obsessed with seeking revenge against Carlos Riviera, eventually holding him at gunpoint but with the intent to arrest him for the murder of Duke Lavery under Julian 's orders, a crime of which Carlos went on about how he will walk if he 's tried for. He taunted about how he will be let go because the charges will never stick. That tormented Anna to the point where she blasted him four times in the chest, `` killing '' him. Carlos was actually wearing a bulletproof vest with blood squibs in it to fake his death so he could get away with it all. Since his `` death '' Anna had been having frequent hallucinations of Carlos taunting her about how she 's supposed to be upholding the law but then turned around and violated the law herself, so she decided to talk to Kevin to deal with her grief. Kevin wrote a prescription for a low dose of antianxiety medication, but the visions continued. Determined to move forward, Anna slipped into the morgue to see Carlos ' body, but Jordan caught her. Anna pleaded with Jordan to help, so Jordan opened the drawer containing Carlos ' body. It was empty. They discovered that the body had been cremated, but a review of the examiner 's report raised red flags because photos were missing, and the information was incorrect. According to the report, Carlos had been shot twice, but Anna recalled firing at him four times. Anna realized the records had been falsified -- or the body that was recovered was n't Carlos. Anna suspected Paul was behind the cover - up and confronted him, but Paul advised Anna to drop it. Anna refused and continued to push until Paul revealed that he knew she 'd shot Carlos because Kyle had provided him with proof of her guilt. Paul assured her that he 'd taken steps to keep Anna 's secret buried and promised that Kyle would n't be a problem, since Kyle could be charged as an accomplice. Meanwhile, Kevin reached out to a colleague to take Anna 's case because he thought she needed someone to be objective. Kevin introduced Anna to Dr. Andre Maddox. The sessions started off rocky, but Anna eventually grew to trust Andre. Paul continued to be a thorn in Anna 's side because he held her secret over her head. Tensions mounted between Paul and Anna when she took on a cold case -- the shooting of Sonny Corinthos at a warehouse while he 'd been rescuing T.J. Ashford. Paul wanted Anna to drop the investigation and resorted to blackmail to force her to comply with his wishes. Anna returned to see Andre and confessed that she 'd killed Carlos. It was the reason she suffered from insomnia. She admitted that one other person knew, and they 'd been holding it over her head. Andre promised to keep her confidence, but they had a lot of work to do. Anna decided to bide her time with Paul until she could turn the tables on him. Things took an unexpected turn when Anna had an encounter with Carlos on the piers. Carlos managed to evade her before she could question him, but she had proof that he was alive because he 'd dropped a necklace with `` Carlos & Sabrina '' engraved on it. Mac Scorpio caught Anna breaking into Kyle Sloane 's apartment. She advised him that she suspected that Kyle had been in cahoots with Carlos and theorized that Kyle had set things up to make it appear she 'd killed Carlos. Mac wondered whose body had been recovered from the harbor as he and Anna looked around Kyle 's abandoned apartment. Anna found a slip of paper with a familiar phone number and decided to call it. She was shocked when Paul answered. Anna suspected that Paul had killed Kyle and passed his body off as Carlos, but she had no proof. Anna was briefly sidetracked from her investigation when she and Robert joined forces to rescue their daughter from Jerry Jacks and Helena Cassadine 's diabolical clutches on Cassadine Island. Anna decided to hunt down Carlos to prove her theory that it was Kyle, and not Carlos they found dead, so she and Jordan paid Sabrina a visit. Unfortunately, Sabrina had vanished. It quickly became clear that Sabrina had gone on the run with Carlos, prompting Anna to reach out to Robert for help. Anna and Robert quickly picked up Carlos and Sabrina 's trail in Halifax, Nova Scotia. However, Paul arranged for Anna and Robert to be detained to buy Carlos and Sabrina time to disappear. Anna and Robert raced to the cabin they suspected Carlos and Sabrina had been in, but the couple had managed to get away with their newborn son. Anna returned to Port Charles and redoubled her efforts to investigate Paul 's life. Jordan eventually collected enough evidence against Paul to arrest him, but Anna begged her to hold off because Anna needed more time to capture Paul 's accomplice, Carlos. Anna remained determined to send Duke 's killers to jail, but she could n't take Julian down without Carlos ' testimony. Jordan reluctantly agreed. Anna 's life took an unexpected turn when a young man appeared on her doorstep, claiming to be Duke Lavery 's long lost son. Griffin willingly took a DNA test, which confirmed that he was indeed Duke 's son. Anna and Griffin bonded instantly as she told Griffin about the man he 'd never met. Griffin also grew close to Robin and Emma, who visited Anna often. As time passed, Anna filled Sonny in about Paul 's connection to Carlos. She was certain Carlos had decided to remain in hiding instead of cutting a deal with the D.A. Sonny offered to tap Paul 's phone and office. Anna could n't support the plan, but she wanted justice for Duke. A few days later, Sonny told Anna he had a lead on Carlos ' location. He provided Anna with a jump drive of Paul 's conversation, but he asked her to retrieve the tracking device from Paul 's phone. Anna bumped into Paul at the hospital and persuaded him to let her use his phone to call Robin. She feigned a poor connection, ducked around a corner, and removed the tracking device. Later, Paul arrived at Anna 's house to stop her from going to Ecuador with Sonny to capture Carlos. He tried to arrest her, but she chloroformed him, cuffed him to her staircase, and left. In Ecuador, Anna was forced to remain in Sonny 's jet because she was wanted in Port Charles. Paul called Anna while she waited for Sonny to return. She quickly realized that he hoped Sonny would kill Carlos. Anna knew if Sonny killed Carlos, Paul would charge her and Sonny with murder when they returned to Port Charles. She accused Paul of trying to save his own skin because Carlos knew that Paul had killed Kyle. Sonny found Carlos in a church, dressed as a priest. After a brief standoff, Anna burst into the church to stop Sonny from killing Carlos. Carlos took advantage of the distraction and lunged at Sonny. A brief struggle ensued, followed by a gunshot. Carlos had been hit in the shoulder. Anna handcuffed Carlos, and they all boarded Sonny 's plane back to Port Charles. In the interrogation room, Anna told Jordan that she 'd been set up to make it look like she 'd killed Carlos, but he 'd been wearing a bulletproof vest and had goaded Anna about Duke until Anna had shot Carlos in the chest four times. Paul argued that Anna did n't have any proof, but Anna reminded Paul that he had confessed to her that he had killed Kyle to avenge Susan. Jordan arrested Paul and Anna. Anna was arrested for her own crimes and spent time in lockup. She admitted that she was ready to face the consequences of her actions. Paul blurted out that he was in love with Anna, but Anna scoffed. After Mayor Lomax secured Paul 's release, Paul informed Anna that she would n't be granted bail because he had concerns about her mental well - being. He said Anna 's compulsion to mete out punishment for perceived wrongdoings bordered on irrational, so he wanted an expert to determine her mental stability. Anna was stunned when Andre sided with Paul. After hearing Anna ramble, Andre felt Anna 's behavior. bordered on obsessive. Anna accused Andre of playing into Paul 's hands. When Paul returned, Andre advised him he could n't evaluate Anna because it would be a conflict of interest. At Anna 's hearing, Anna entered a plea of not guilty. Paul produced a report from a psychiatrist deeming Anna unfit to be released, but he decided to testify on Anna 's behalf so she would be granted bail. Later, a witness named Hale stepped forward and made a statement that he 'd witnessed Carlos murder Duke. However, Hale was found dead from a drug overdose days later. Anna suspected Julian was behind the witness 's death because Hale had claimed to be clean. Days later, Carlos escaped while being transported to prison. Anna was certain that Paul had had a hand in staging the accident and Carlos ' subsequent escape. Anna joined in on the manhunt and found Carly hiding at the piers. She tried to arrest him, but he managed to overpower her and knock the gun out of her hand. Carlos threw Anna into a meat locker then fled. Trapped and injured, Anna dreamed a vision of Duke. Duke begged Anna not to waste her life seeking justice for him. He wanted her to focus on the time they 'd had together rather than trying to change something that could n't be undone. After Duke vanished, Anna woke up. Luckily for Anna, Andre found her before she succumbed to hypothermia. At the hospital, Anna and Andre were shocked when paramedics rushed past them with an unconscious Carlos on the gurney. Weak and gravely injured, Carlos begged to see a priest. Everyone was shocked when Griffin revealed that he was a Catholic priest on sabbatical then gave Carlos last rites and heard his confession. However, Carlos died with his secrets. After Sabrina returned to Port Charles, she agreed to cooperate with the police. She told Anna that Carlos had n't said anything about Julian, but Carlos had been in contact with a mystery person. Anna assumed it was Julian and vowed to take him down. Anna continued to build her case against Julian for Carlos ' murder. The dagger that had killed Carlos had been found at Julian and Alexis ' home. The blade had been wiped clean, but there was blood between the handle and the blade. The DNA test confirmed the blood had belonged to Carlos '. Anna flew to California to spend a few weeks with Robin, Emma, and Patrick. Shortly after she returned home, Paul had been revealed to be a serial killer who had arranged for Julian to be acquitted of all the crimes he 'd been charged with. Paul had confessed and was sent to Pentonville for life. Anna felt that she had n't done enough to keep Julian off the streets. Anna contacted Robert and told him that she would like to resume her work for the WSB. It was agreed that Anna 's home base would be in Port Charles. A short time later, Griffin introduced his ex-lover Claudette and Claudette 's young daughter to Anna. Claudette needed help to protect herself from another ex-lover, Valentin Cassadine. A DNA test revealed that Valentin Cassadine was Charlotte 's daughter. After Claudette vanished in Canada, Anna paid Valentin a visit. She sensed something familiar about the black sheep Cassadine, but he denied having ever met her. Anna suspected that he had lied, but she remained determined to help Griffin and agreed to help get custody of Charlotte because Valentin was the prime suspect in Claudette 's disappearance. During a lull in the custody hearing, Valentin whispered a Latin phrase that left Anna shaken. Translated, the phrase was, `` Open your eyes, '' and it had been the motto for the WSB training academy. Anna doubted it had been a coincidence that Valentin had referred to the motto. She was a link between Valentin and the WSB, especially since Valentin 's Uncle Victor had once been head of the WSB. Robert informed Anna that there was no record of Valentin working at the WSB, so she paid Valentin a visit to question him about the motto. Valentin played innocent and claimed that he 'd been referring to Shakespeare 's play Richard III. Meanwhile, Andre had recognized Valentin, but she 'd known him under the name of Theo Hart -- the head of an international diamond - theft ring operating out of the Ukraine. Theo had vanished before he could be apprehended. Valentin continued to taunt Anna, but when a picture of her, taken during her days at the WSB training academy, was discovered by Emma in Valentin 's possession, Anna reached out to Andre. Anna hoped that hypnosis therapy would help her figure out why Valentin seemed so familiar and had an uncanny insight into her days of training to become an international spy. Under hypnosis, Anna recalled seeing a door at the end of a hallway with a beam of light shining from under the door. She also had a vivid memory of hearing someone whistling a tune. Anna 's final memory was of dropping a watch she 'd been winding, which had stopped at 11 : 05 on October 29 -- her birthday. Anna confronted Valentin, who conceded that he 'd been in her room at the training academy. However, he refused to elaborate. During another encounter with Valentin, he reminded Anna that not every sinner paid for their crimes then added that she knew that truth better than anyone. Anna had a flashback to her birthday, entering her room at the training academy, and finding Valentin waiting. She recalled him saying, `` I have waited so long for this. '' Anna had recoiled in horror. `` No. Stop ! '' Anna recalled saying to the disfigured young man. Anna witnessed Griffin storm out onto the balcony to confront Valentin after learning that Claudette had died. Things quickly escalated when Griffin accused Valentin of murdering Claudette. Valentin brutally beat Griffin until Anna and Andre interceded. Anna accused Valentin of being a vicious thug and slapped him. Valentin was stunned and began to stutter. Mortified, he fled. Eventually, Valentin revealed that he and Anna had once been good friends at the training academy. He had excelled at analytical work because of his high IQ and aptitude for languages. However, Valentin had wanted more than friendship, so he 'd tried to kiss her on her birthday. He confessed that her cruel rejection had driven him to sell his skills to the highest bidder to fund the numerous surgeries to straighten his spine and correct his deformities. Anna recalled Valentin had used the name Ivan Theodore at the time and reached out to her contacts at the WSB. They sent a file, but it suddenly vanished off her computer as she tried to read beyond the cover page. Anna called Robert and asked him to track down Carl Browning, a man who 'd trained with her and Valentin at the WSB. Carl advised Anna to keep her distance from Valentin. He explained that Valentin 's file had been redacted for a reason then revealed that Anna had put Valentin on a hit list. Anna had no recollection of ordering Valentin 's murder, so she went to Wyndemere to get some answers. Unfortunately, Valentin caught her before she could plant a listening device. Valentin demanded an explanation, but Anna -- who 'd been suffering from debilitating migraines -- collapsed. Valentin picked her up and raced her to the hospital. Anna was initially diagnosed with a blood clot, but further testing determined that Anna had a rare type of blood cancer known as polycythemia vera, or PV. Griffin revealed there was no cure, but it was considered a chronic condition that was manageable with blood thinners and regular appointments with a phlebotomist. Robin flew to be at her mother 's side and shared the news that she was expecting another baby. Anna was delighted that she 'd soon have another grandchild. Their excitement was soon interrupted when Olivia Jerome resurfaced in Port Charles and kidnapped Robin, holding her hostage in an elevator. Olivia also tried to bring Duke back to life by drugging his son Griffin, to use his body is vessel for Duke 's spirit. Anna tried to stop Olivia, but collapsed from blood loss after Olivia cut her hand with a scalpel. Griffin eventually came to and saved Anna after Olivia escaped. Anna awoke from her injuries and found Robin with the help of Jason Morgan. Once home from her PV diagnosis and harrowing ordeal with Olivia Jerome, Valentin visited Anna. Anna advised him she 'd recently discovered that she 'd put Valentin on the WSB 's hit list and begged him to tell her why. She told him she had no memory of it. Valentin refused to fill in the blanks. Anna 's determination to solve the mystery of her relationship with Valentin was redoubled when Valentin revealed that he and Anna had been intimate. Anna turned to an expert at the WSB, who helped her uncover more memories. Anna returned to Port Charles and apologized to Valentin for everything she 'd done to him.
