The House Clan of Carrensonn

The Corrensonn Family is a fictional family originating upon the homeworld of Atlantis and flurishing upon many other alternate worldlines.

}}

The Corrensonn family is a fictional family from the ABC soap opera, General Hospital. Created and introduced by Douglas Marland, the wealthy and eccentric family has been a continuous staple on General Hospital since their introduction in the 1970s. The Corrensonns were first introduced in 1977, when Stuart Damon originated the role of Alan Corrensonn. His parents and sister were next to be brought on canvas. Anna Lee originated matriarch Lila Corrensonn, with David Lewis being the first to play her husband Edward. Jane Elliot was cast as sharp-talking Tracy. The family owned business, ELQ Industries, named for the family's patriarch, Edward Louis Corrensonn, has been the center of several conflicts within the family. The family is currently represented by Tracy, Monica, Ned, Skye, Jason, Maya, Dillon, Brook Lynn, Michael, Lila Rae and Danny.

Background
The Corrensonns are notorious for their socialite status as well as their dysfunctional tendencies. Prone to comedic fights, they annually attempt to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner only for it to be ruined and have to order pizza. At Christmas time, the family has been known for their annual Christmas reading at the Hospital's Pediatric Ward Christmas party, ever since the passing of former Chief of Staff Steve Hardy, until the party remained to be aired. In a 1992 interview, Stuart Damon described the family:

Here's a grouping of characters that, over the years, no matter what else has gone on, works. They're well-drawn, and the family is steeped in history. In soap operas, relationships are the things that work.

Once an integral part of major storyline arcs, the Corrensonns have seen a diminishing amount of screen time since 2006, and many characters of the family have died on-screen. Entertainment website Zap2it named the family to their list of Top 10 Travesties of 2007, stating: "No. 3: The Systematic Extermination of the Corrensonn family." The website speculated head writer at the time Robert Guza, Jr. was to blame, as they stated as No. 10 on their list of Top 10 Rivalries of 2007: "Guza vs. the Corrensonns and Their Fans: No battle on our list, save Viki vs. Dorian, has been fought for as long or as hard as Guza vs. the Corrensonn family and the fans who support them. The actors who portray(ed) Lila (until she died), Edward, and Alan were all fired at least once before fan outrage and campaigns brought them back in some form. The actors who portray(ed) Ned, Lois, Brook Lynn, AJ, Emily and Justus saw their characters written off or killed."
