In [3], Faudree and Gould showed that if a 2-connected graph contains no K1,3 and P6 as an induced subgraph, then the graph is hamiltonian. In this paper, we consider the extension of this result to cycles passing through specified vertices. We define the families of graphs which are extension of the forbidden pair K1,3 and P6, and prove that the forbidden families implies the existence of cycles passing through specified vertices.
