Elizabeth was just fifteen-years-old when she came to live with Audrey Hardy, her 'grandmother.' Audrey's husband, Steve, had engaged in an affair that produced Elizabeth's father, Jeff Webber, and after Steve's death, Audrey became the sole grandparent to Liz and her sister, Sarah.
Liz had her eye on Lucky, but he had his cap set for Sarah, even though Sarah wanted Nikolas Cassadine. Lucky finally focused his attention on Elizabeth after she was violently raped, vowing to capture the man who attacked her. It wasn't her English teacher, as she wrongfully suspected, and until she teamed with Lucky, Nikolas and did she discover it was a photographer named Tom. He held Emily and Elizabeth at gunpoint and confessed to the rape. Fortunately, he was arrested and convicted.
The tense moments brought Lucky and Elizabeth closer, and they fell in love, but their romance was short-lived when she learned that he had been killed in a fire. She allowed her friends to comfort her, but got herself into trouble trying to drown her sorrows while hanging out in Jake's bar. Luckily, Jason intervened when a male patron refused to take 'no' for an answer from Liz.
Her romantic attention then focused on Jason, but she was crushed by his rejection. He realized that being involved with her would place her life in jeopardy, and he ultimately left Port Charles.
Elizabeth was stunned that Lucky lived. The fire had been staged and DNA tests altered. Lucky had been kidnapped and brainwashed by Helena Cassadine and the evil, Faison, and when Lucky came home, he wasn't the same person Elizabeth remembered. Counseling with Kevin Collins helped Lucky overcome the hypnotic hold of Helena, and he returned to almost normal.
A disappointing stint at Deception Cosmetics, Lucky relapse back to Helena's trance-like control, and an ever-growing fascination with a recently-returned Jason Morgan, kept Elizabeth's life in turmoil.
When the Spencer/Cassadine conflict finally ended and things settled once again, Elizabeth and Lucky, now recovered, planned their wedding. Although she had reservations about his state of mind and true feelings for her, she was determined to make the relationship work.
Things were fine until a conniving Maxie sent Elizabeth to a room where Sarah and Lucky were having sex. Liz repaid Lucky's infidelity by sleeping with Zander Smith, and later having his child.
With Zander gone, Liz met Ric Lansing. Although still enamored with Jason, he had moved on and started a life with Courtney. Carly warned Liz about Ric, but Elizabeth accused her of lying and let her feelings for Ric develop. Even when he had kidnapped Carly and kept her in a secret room of their home, Elizabeth was hopelessly blind to the side of her husband that wanted nothing more than to take down his own brother, Sonny.
When Ric and Liz wed, they had intentions of telling Zander that he was a father, but it was believed that he was the fire victim earlier presumed to be Lucky Spencer. Zander, however, turned up alive, kidnapped his former wife, Emily, and when police surrounded him, he purposely pretended to reach for a gun, and was shot dead.
Liz and Ric's marriage fell apart because of his constant scheming. She divorced him and left town, only to return to surprise Audrey again, this time with baby, Cameron. Elizabeth enrolled in school to become a nurse, and reconnected with Lucky. She succeeded in her career goal, but her personal one didn't fare as well. It looked as though they might have rebuilt their relationship, but Lucky got hooked on pain pills and had an affair with Maxi Jones.
Seeking solace, Elizabeth turned once again to Jason, and later discovered she was pregnant, and wasn't sure who fathered the child. The stress of that dilemma, and hearing Maxi announce her own pregnancy by Lucky, made it hard to forgive him despite his recent stay in a drug rehab. A long-awaited DNA test told Elizabeth who her child's father is, but now she has to decide if she wants to share that information. Finding drugs in Lucky's desk, sent her in search of Jason, to share the truth.
She and Jason almost made a life together on two separate occasions, but each time something explosive (literally) regarding his work made it crystal clear that their union would put her and her children at risk. So, she is raising her two boys alone with the help of Lucky. In 2009, her good friend Robin was diagnosed with postpartum depression and she stepped in to help her husband Patrick with baby Emma until Robin could get the help that she needed.

At The Haunted Star, Luke tells Elizabeth he knows about her and Nikolas and she apologizes. He assures her he isn’t judging her, but he can’t sit by and do nothing. He says he talked to Nikolas and Elizabeth is upset Nik already knows. Luke thinks Elizabeth owes Lucky the truth, but Elizabeth can’t hurt Lucky again and promises she will never be with Nikolas again. Luke encourages her to tell that to Lucky, but she can’t alleviate her guilt at his expense and begs Luke not to tell Lucky.
Elizabeth goes to Wyndemere and lashes out at Nikolas for not telling her that Luke knew. She accuses him of wanting Lucky to find out. He says a part of him does and thinks he deserves Lucky’s anger. Elizabeth doesn’t want that for her, so Nikolas stands close to her and asks what she does want. Elizabeth wants to feel for Lucky what she can’t stop feeling for him and leaves.
Ethan visits Elizabeth at the hospital for help in getting through to Nikolas regarding Rebecca. Elizabeth tells him Nikolas doesn’t listen to her and if Rebecca gets hurt, it’s her own fault.
Nikolas goes to the hospital to see Elizabeth and then Monica walks up. She wonders if they visited Emily’s grave and recalls the joy she brought all of them. She also congratulates Elizabeth about her engagement saying Emily always believed in her and Lucky. Monica walks away leaving Elizabeth and Nikolas looking guilty.
Elizabeth later meets Luke at the Haunted Star who tells her he knows she is lying to Lucky.
