## Storylines

Teddy was born onscreen January 28, 2016 to mobster Carlos Rivera and Nurse Sabrina Santiago and was delivered by his father. Sabrina went into labor while on the run with Carlos. She gave birth naturally to a silent baby. It was later revealed that Sabrina had a healthy baby boy.

On April 25, Teddy is seen with his sort of great-aunt Inocencia in Puerto Rico. On May 17, a baby showed up on the Quartermaine's doorstep and Tracy Quartermaine finds him. She decides to call him Edward and tells Monica that she has no idea whose baby it is. Later on, Michael comes by and he sees the baby in Tracy's arms. Tracy tells him that the baby was left on their doorstep with a rattle. When Michael sees the rattle, he realizes that the baby is Sabrina's.

After talking to Michael, Tracy calls Dr. Hamilton Finn to make sure that Teddy was healthy and it turns that he is as Dr. Finn gave him a clean bill of health. When Tracy turns her back, Michael takes Teddy to GH and then he is put in foster care for the night. Teddy ends up at the PCPD with a social worker and that it where it's confirmed that he is in fact Sabrina's son. He also spent time with Michael while at the PD. Later on, it is revealed that Tracy applied to be his foster mother and later that day Eduardo was brought to his new home.

Days later, he is reunited with his mother, who reveals that she named him Eduardo and nicknamed him Teddy, after Edward Quartermaine, which is ironic because Tracy started calling him Edward. After some arguing between Tracy and his mother, he is finally put in his mother's arms.

On June 8, Dillon took pictures of Teddy in Lila's garden. Later on, his mother shows up and announces that her legal troubles have been resolved and she wants to take her son. After hearing that, Tracy gives custody back to Sabrina and offers to let her and her son stay at the mansion and she accepts.

Teddy becomes an orphan after both of his parents were tragically murdered in 2016. He goes into the care of his paternal uncle, Joe Rivera and leaves Port Charles with him. After the death of his parents and Teddy left with Joe Rivera, Teddy is replaced by Donald and Charlotte Cassadine just like his mother Sabrina being replaced by Valentin Cassadine a month after her death filling in the void left behind as the Rivera and Santiago families are since replaced by the Cassadine family.

The status is currently unknown for Teddy since he is still currently living in Puerto Rico with his uncle Joe. He also gets a girlfriend his age named Eva Aquino.
