Storylines

In March 2014, Jordan Ashford arrived in Port Charles upon learning that her son T.J. Ashford (Tequan Richmond) had found himself caught in a mob war between Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Julian Jerome (William deVry). While T.J. and his guardian, Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore), assured Jordan that T.J. was safe from Julian, Jordan still pressured her son to leave Port Charles with her. When T.J. refused, Jordan decided to remain in Port Charles with her son and took a job working for the Jerome Organization at an art gallery they owned. Shawn warned Jordan to stay away from the Jerome's and when she refused, he threatened to tell T.J. that the reason he had been sent to Port Charles in the first place was because she was serving a two-year prison sentence for dealing drugs. While Jordan attempted to convince Shawn that she had changed, she secretly offered to distribute drugs for Julian that he was running through town. Jordan is eventually arrested as part of a sting operation organized by the Port Charles Police Department, at which time she reveals she is working undercover with the DEA to bring down the Jerome Organization. Jordan confides in Anna Devane of her DEA status and Anna agrees to work with her to reveal the identity of Julian Jerome's boss.

In 2014, it is revealed that Shawn and Jordan had an affair before TJ was born and that when Tommy found a letter about the DNA test proving that Tommy, not Shawn, was TJ's father, confirming Shawn and Jordan's affair, he became so enraged that he attacked Shawn. Tommy pulled a gun but before he could kill Shawn, Shawn killed him first.

In May 2015, Jordan confirmed that Shawn, not Tommy, is in fact TJ's father. In the middle of 2015, Jordan replaces Kyle Sloane as police commissioner. In early 2016, Jordan begins dating Andre Maddox (Anthony Montgomery). Her ex-brother-in-law], Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), comes to town. Curtis later goes on a date with officer Valerie Spencer (Brytni Sarpy) which Jordan interrupts to warn Valerie away from him.

Warren Bauer, portrayed by Bradley Cole, was introduced as the father of Kiefer Bauer (Christian Alexander) on March 17, 2010.

The cast was announced on February 9, 2010 by Cole himself on Twitter. The character was originally named Carlton Bauer.[3] [4] Cole, known for his portrayals of Richard Winslow and Jeffrey O'Neill, on Guiding Light, was slated to make his first appearance in late March. The casting was later confirmed by Soaps In Depth in its official Twitter account.[5] Dan J. Kroll of Soap Central speculated that Kiefer's abusive behavior could stem from his home environment.[6] Some initially speculated that Cole's Warren would interact with Laura Wright's Carly Jacks. Wright had previously appeared on Guiding Light as Cole's onscreen love interest, Cassie Layne.[7] Soaps In Depth described the character as a "big wig" who works on Wall Street.[8] The Bauer family is very wealthy.[9] Regan Cellura said that Warren is the exact opposite of his characters on Guiding Light.[10]

Storylines

To get his girlfriend, Kristina Davis (Lexi Ainsworth) to cover for him when he hits her, Kiefer recounts his abusive childhood to her.[11] The character first appears when he is questioned by Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) about the night Kristina is attacked. However, Warren refuses to blame his son and blames the enemies of Kristina's mob boss father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for the attack. Do to the ongoing investigation, Warren reminds Kiefer that he never approved of his relationship with Kristina. When Kiefer is killed in a hit and run accident, Warren believes Kristina's mother, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) killed his son on purpose, and vows revenge. Warren and wife Melinda (Lisa Waltz) post an online memorial page portraying Kiefer as a great student and great person and openly accuse Alexis of killing their son. He also accuses Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons) of being Kristina's "real" attacker. Warren tries to guilt Kristina into falsely accusing Ethan once again by reminding her of Kiefer's love. Warren continues pressuring the police to press charges and continues attacking Kristina and Alexis in public. When Alexis is acquitted, Warren files a wrongful death suit. Warren even pressures federal prosecutor, Claire Walsh (Dahlia Salem) to press charges against Alexis. When Warren gets too aggressive with Alexis and her daughters in public, Sonny openly accuses Warren of abusing his son. In late July, Warren attempts but fails to obtain Kristina's medical records at General Hospital and threatens to sue for obstruction of justice. Warren runs into Kristina and nearly hits her when she berates him for abusing Kiefer, forcing her brother, Michael (Chad Duell) to step in. A fight ensues with Lucky pulling Michael off Warren. When police commissioner Mac Scorpio (John J. York) arrives, Warren snaps and pulls a gun, shooting Mac and Ethan. He is about to open fire on Michael and Kristina when he is shot down by the wounded Mac.

Reception

Though the role was intended to be short term, TV Source Magazine speculated that it could turn into a much bigger role, considering the show's history of developing minor roles into long-term roles.[12][13] The Huffington Post said Cole's casting could be the show's attempt to attract viewers from the recently canceled Guiding Light, and though short term, Allison Waldman said it would be a good addition to the cast. The character's surname may have been a "nod" to the series' core family, the Bauer family.[14]

Nina Clay is a fictional character from the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The role has been portrayed by soap veteran Michelle Stafford since May 1, 2014.[16]

Casting

After first rumors of former The Young and the Restless actress Michelle Stafford being cast in the role rose in early 2014, the casting was not made public until Stafford's first airing on the show on May 1, 2014.[17] Head writer Ron Carlivati spoke to Daytime Confidential about the big casting coup saying: "Look, bottom line, Michelle [Stafford] was so perfect for Nina, we never seriously considered any other role for her." About how the show kept Stafford's casting under the radar, Carlivati added: "GH has been on hiatus for the past two weeks and Michelle doesn't really start taping until we resume. But we realized that as soon as she did, the news would be out there long before her episodes began airing. It was actually Frank's idea to try to slip her into an earlier show that had already been written and shot, so we could take everyone by surprise. So he snuck her into the studio recently, at the end of the day, to tape the one scene you just saw. That was inserted after the fact. We've been sweating it out ever since that it would stay under wraps!"[18]

Storylines

Nina is first mentioned as the comatose wife of Silas Clay in early 2014. He's under the suspicion of attempting to murder her with an drug overdose. Nina's brother Nathan investigates the case and finds out that it was in fact Nina's mother Madeline. Madeline confirms that Nina was pregnant with Silas' child. She wanted to get rid of Nina's baby and accidentally overdosed her own daughter. Madeline tells Nathan that Nina has died, but later tells him that she only had Nina declared dead to get the inheritance that was left to Nina by Madeline's late husband.

In May 2014, after nearly twenty years in a comatose state, Nina awakens and is transferred to a different facility to undergo rehabilitation and treatment. Roughly a month later, Nina arrives in Port Charles and shocks a bewildered Silas with her presence when she arrives at a birthday party for Danny, the son of Silas's new girlfriend, Samantha Morgan. Nina soon has to find out that much has changed in those twenty years she's been in a coma. She is introduced to Silas' daughter with his former mistress Ava Jerome, Kiki. After first not being aware that Silas and Sam are a couple, Nina claims to be fine with it; accepting the end of her marriage; and tells Silas that it would only be natural for his life to go on. However it is later revealed that Nina has been awake for longer than she says and that she trashed Silas' apartment a few months back. Nina in fact wants revenge on everyone that wronged her. Nina got married to Ric Lansing on May 18, 2015.

In November 2015, Nina goes to Julian Jerome, who owns Crimson magazine under his media empire, for a job. She ends up getting the job of Editor-in-chief since the former had left the magazine. She works closely with Maxie Jones. When Nina and Maxie need someone to take pictures for the Nutcracker Gala, Maxie has an idea that Dillon Quartermaine (Robert Palmer Watkins) should stay in town, work for Nina, and take pictures of everyone at the Gala.[19][20]

Silas Clay M.D. is a fictional character from the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The role has been portrayed by Michael Easton since May 13, 2013.

Casting

Michael Easton as Silas.

Following the cancellation of fellow ABC daytime soap opera One Life to Live in January 2012, it was announced that Michael Easton, who had portrayed the role of John McBain on the series since October 2003, would bring his character over to General Hospital, after a venture to bring One Life to Live online had fallen apart. Easton had portrayed the character of McBain on General Hospital for little less than a year before it was announced that the efforts to bring One Life to Live online had begun again, and thus, they were recalling the character of John McBain (as well as two other former One Life to Live characters) back to the parent series. As Easton was still under contract with ABC at this time, the decision was made to reintroduce the actors to General Hospital as brand new characters. Prior to his role on One Life to Live, Easton had portrayed the role of vampire Caleb Morley on the defunct General Hospital spinoff, Port Charles from May 2001 to October 2003. In early 2013, Easton's portrayal of Morley was revisited on General Hospital, with the series retconning the entire Morley identity as an alter ego of psychotic serial killer Stephen Clay. In Easton's new role as Dr. Silas Clay, he serves as Stephen's older brother, as well as the paternal uncle of Stephen's son, Rafe Kovich, Jr., with any and all references to John McBain in the General Hospital canon eliminated. On July 29, 2015, it was confirmed that Easton would depart General Hospital in the role of Silas.[21]

Storylines

Silas Clay was never close to his family or his younger brother, Stephen. He left home at the age of eighteen with no intention of ever coming back. While attending Colombia Medical School, he met another student there named Nina. The two of them began spending a lot of time together, eventually falling in love. Nina's parents were very wealthy and did not think much of Silas because of his poor background. Nina, however loved him regardless and helped pay his way through med school. Upon graduation Silas and Nina married. Eventually Silas and Nina began to drift apart, they were constantly fighting very frequently. He soon began an affair with Ava Jerome (Maura West), an aspiring art dealer. When Nina discovered the affair she tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of medication. Silas discovered her in their home. Unfortunately Nina was rendered comatose by the ordeal. Although Silas wished to take Nina off of life-support, her parents absconded her to a private care facility and prevented Silas access to her. Disgusted at his behavior, Silas ended his relationship with Ava.

In May 2013, Samantha Morgan (Kelly Monaco) finds herself in a Manhattan Emergency Room. While there, she encounters a doctor whom she initially confuses for serial killer Stephen Clay, who had kidnapped her and her son, Daniel, a few months earlier. Clay eventually introduces himself as Dr. Silas Clay, older brother to the deranged serial killer, with whom he had lost contact a decade earlier. Sam tells him about her last encounter with Stephen, as well as Stephen's son, Rafe Kovich, Jr. (Jimmy Deshler), currently living with Sam. Silas says he doesn't care about his nephew, and feels Rafe is in good hands with Sam. Upset at his lack of care for Rafe, Sam leaves. Silas later shows up at Sam's house, wanting to meet Rafe. Sam refuses, saying Rafe is still traumatized by seeing his mother, Alison Barrington (Erin Hershey Presley), being killed by Stephen. As Silas is about to leave, Rafe shows up. Silas tries to introduce himself, but Rafe rejects him, saying he wants nothing to do with Stephen Clay. Sam tells Silas to leave, but Silas ominously warns Sam that he's not giving up. The next day, he gives Sam papers he's filed for legal custody of Rafe. Sam is surprised and outraged, as is Rafe, and they both tell Silas that they will fight him. Silas, though, will not back down. In court, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), who Silas has hired, trashes both Sam and her late husband, Jason Morgan (then Steve Burton), in order to depict Sam as an unfit mother. After the hearing, Sam stays behind to confront Silas, who tells Sam that her son Danny is sick. Silas follows Sam to the hospital and informs her that Danny has cancer, before leaving abruptly. Later, Silas runs into Dr.Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson and demands to see the test results, but Patrick refuses. While Sam is at the hospital waiting for the results of Danny's biopsy, Silas is awarded custody of Rafe and decides to take him back to Manhattan. He later has a change of heart and drops Rafe back at Alexis' (Nancy Lee Grahn) while he goes to General Hospital to see Sam. There, he helps Sam with Danny's treatment and joins the hospital staff. Meanwhile, Ava comes to town, and they are reunited for the first time in decades. Silas is treating Franco (Roger Howarth), and he realizes Ava is hiding a secret involving Franco. Soon after, Kiki Jerome (then Kristen Alderson), comes to the hospital, revealed to Silas as Ava's daughter. Ava insists Kiki is Franco's daughter, but it is later revealed that Silas could possibly be Kiki's father. In a conversation with Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), Ava confirms that Kiki is, in fact, Silas' daughter. Kiki's true paternity is published in the newspaper, and Silas finds out the truth. He confronts Ava, who confirms the article is true. Silas' relationship with Sam also develops during the subsequent months. He goes with her to New York to discover information on her biological father. Ava senses their growing relationship and warns Sam against Silas, saying he is keeping secrets from her. In late December, Silas is repeatedly called by a detective from New York City concerning a cold case 20 years earlier. Silas does all he can to dodge the detective at every corner. The detective, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) soon transfers to the PCPD to prevent Silas from stonewalling him. Detective West confronts Silas who refers him to his lawyer. Later, Sam is shocked to discover that Silas has a wife which he never mentioned to her. Silas told Sam that his wife was Nina Clay and she has been brain dead for over 20 years, because she tried to kill herself after she found out about his affair with Ava which was when Kiki was conceived. In mid March 2014, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills) arrives in Silas' office at General Hospital. She was revealed to be Nina Clay's mother. Madeline told Silas that it was none of his concern where Nina was when he asked her. Silas told her he didn't care about the money or the estate, he just loved Nina. Madeline told Silas to prove it by signing over all rights to Nina's money. He told her he would, once she told him where Nina was. Madeline said she couldn't tell him, and Silas didn't sign the papers. Madeline said Silas would sign the papers sooner or later. Madeline is then reunited with Nathan who turns out to be her son, Nina's brother, and that is why he is trying so hard to take Silas down. As Nina wakes up from her coma, she finds her husband in a relationship with Sam. She does everything possible to break them up. Eventually, Sam and Silas break up when Sam catches them romantically involved. In August 2015, Silas is murdered. Madeline is revealed to be the murderer in September.[21][22][23]

Stephen Clay is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera, General Hospital, portrayed by Michael Easton. The character is an adaptation of the fictional vampire character, Caleb Morley, originated by Easton on the General Hospital spin-off Port Charles from 2001 through 2003. When Caleb was killed at the end of "Tempted," he eventually returned during the story arc "Naked Eyes," this time in the guise of the vampire rock star "Stephen Clay." Caleb Morley aka Stephen Clay remained a fan favorite and primary character until the cancellation of Port Charles in October 2003. Easton joined the cast of One Life to Live, where he portrayed the role of John McBain until its cancellation in January 2012 and then brought the character of McBain to General Hospital. When several former Port Charles cast members and characters joined General Hospital in 2013, writers decided to revisit Caleb's storyline and adapt to the General Hospital storylines.

Storylines

Michael Easton as Stephen.

In January 2013, Lucy Coe, having recently returned to Port Charles after a ten-year absence, has a run-in with Detective John McBain. Lucy claims McBain is a vampire named Caleb Morley, and attempts to stake him in the chest. She is arrested and eventually sent to Ferncliff sanatorium. In the wake of her hospitalization, her estranged husband Kevin Collins returns, stating Lucy's claims of Caleb's existence are merely a psychotic delusion. Meanwhile, Alison Barrington returns to Port Charles, with her teenage son, Rafe Kovich, Jr.. Alison also mistakes McBain for Caleb, prompting her to flee. Alison is confronted by Caleb, who kills her. McBain arrives and finds a visibly shaken Rafe holding the murder weapon. Rafe is detained as the primary suspect, and when questioned by Police Commissioner Anna Devane, claims McBain murdered his mother. Meanwhile, Lucy, having learned of Alison's murder, stages a breakout from Ferncliff, with the assistance of Heather Webber and Todd Manning, determined to protect Rafe.

Meanwhile, Caleb poses as McBain and removes Rafe from police custody. He kills a police officer and tries to take Rafe out of Port Charles, but Rafe runs away. He visits a professor at Port Charles University and kills him when he reveals he knows about Caleb. While he's there, Sam Morgan comes to PCU looking for the professor. Caleb becomes fixated on her, believing she's Livvie Locke, his former wife. Caleb goes to the pier, where Heather is with Sam's son, Danny. Caleb chokes Heather and throws her into the water. He tries to take Danny but Todd stops him. After the police leave, he finds Sam and Danny on the pier and kidnaps them. Meanwhile, John, Lucy, and Rafe break out of police custody to try to save Sam and Danny. John heads to PCU, and finds out "Caleb" is actually Stephen Clay, a former rock musician who went insane after the death of his wife, Livvie. Clay played the persona of a vampire onstage and, after his wife died, he believed he was an actual vampire and went on a killing spree before being arrested and thrown into a mental institution he escaped from. Meanwhile, "Caleb" takes Sam and Danny to Wyndemere, telling Sam they'll be reunited once he bites her three times. John, Lucy, and Rafe arrive to find Danny alone. "Caleb" ties Sam up in the tunnels but eventually John and Lucy arrive and kill him. Later, Lucy views Stephen's body at the morgue she notices the ring is missing, when Anna gets Lucy out of the morgue. It is revealed the morgue attendant had the ring and when he tries it on, the young attendant is seen lying dead as the figure walks off meaning there really wasn't a Stephen Clay, but Caleb Morley, the vampire, again using his former alias.

Residence Port Charles, New York

Bradley "Brad" Cooper, played by Parry Shen, was introduced to the series on February 13, 2013. However, Parry Shen took over the role in May 2013. The role was originated by an unknown actor on February 13, 2013. Shen stepped into the role on May 3, 2013. "I was kind of getting bored and looking for something new. Something to challenge me and get me scared," Shen said of his reason for taking the role. When he auditioned, Shen was told that the role was recurring and didn't expect it to last long.[24]

Brad is the scheming lab technician at General Hospital who works to sabotage Sabrina Santiago on behalf of Britt Westbourne in exchange for a promotion. Meanwhile, Brad crushes on Sabrina's best friend, Felix DuBois, and does his best to change his schemes to get Felix to pay attention. However, by the time Felix and Brad start dating, Brad catches the eye of Lucas Jones. Brad is also revealed to be the great-grandson of Mr. Wu, who appeared in the series in the mid-1980s as part of the famous Asian Quarter storyline.[24]

Background

Shen initially thought his character's surname was a joke because the character was named after the award winning actor.[25] Brad is bullied as a kid because he was a "fat, Chinese, gay tap dancer." Despite the bullying, Brad was extremely accomplished as a young tap dancer.[26] On January 24, 2014, it is revealed that Brad is the son of Kim Wu (aka Kim Soong) (Steven Leigh), and great-grandson of Mr. Wu (Aki Aleong). Brad was actually adopted and was forced to go searching for his biological roots on his own.[27] Shen also confirmed the revelation on his Twitter account by posting links to YouTube clips featuring the characters.[28][29] The producers kept the secret up until the onscreen reveal.[24]

Characterization

"You start seeing another side of Brad. Even though you know he’s kind of a prick, he’s [also] kind of ashamed of his dad because he took it to a whole new level where it’s about murdering and stealing from people who are weak and Brad just doesn’t want any part of that. Deep down he’s a human being. He’s not getting into the family business. He’s been adopted – he was bullied. We get to see why he turned out to be the way he is."[24]

Shen on how biology has shaped Brad's behavior.

The writers initially described the character to Shen as "opportunistic, very smarmy, confident" and someone with an agenda that benefits himself.[25] Shen perceived Brad's advances toward Felix as "power-playing," to get something he wants. However, Shen appreciated that he was not immediately made aware of Brad being gay. Instead of playing with a certain mentality, Shen brought a specific personality to the character, who just happened to be gay. Shen described his portrayal as very "different."[25] Shen categorized Brad as the resident "evil heel."[30] Though Shen does his best to bring humor to the character, he relishes portraying the more raunchy side of his character.[30] On his official website, Shen published a poster ad featuring the character with the caption, "What A Prick!" In the picture, Shen, as Brad is wielding a syringe just like Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati).[31] According to Shen, the character of Brad sticks around because he is so unique.[24]

Relationships

Throughout 2013, Brad relentlessly pursues Felix. However, Brad slowly develops into a more dimensional character.[24] Brad shows his vulnerability in an effort to prove to Felix that he is good person.[32] In December 2013, Shen revealed that his character had some more material coming up, but he was not sure how much.[30] Brad and Felix's bumpy relationship continues into the new year with several setbacks and after a fight, Brad finds comfort with Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) when they commiserate over their shared connections to crime families. Shen compared Lucas and Brad's dynamic to Ross and Rachel from Friends. However, Brad is faced with a dilemma when both men pursue him. Brad has strong feelings for Felix, but he connects with Lucas on a different level. Both men expose very different sides of his character.[33] The revelation gives viewers another perspective on the character. According to Shen, Brad and Lucas see one another as "kindred spirits." Shen said a potential triangle between the three would take some development because very little had been done with Brad and Felix's relationship. However, what excited Shen most about the potential story was that while all the characters are gay, all three are extremely different characters.[24] After Robin Scorpio-Drake (Kimberly McCullough) left to revive Helena (Constance Towers) and Stavros Cassadine (Robert Kelker-Kelly), he begins to replace Robin again like he did last year before he began a relationship with head nurse Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy).

Reception

Parry Shen revealed that it was about three months after his debut that he started getting recognized by fans. Soap Opera Digest praised the writers for not allowing Brad to be completely defined by his Asian ethnicity.[25] The character received mixed reactions. Jamey Giddens of Daytime Confidential described Shen as a "scene stealer," for his portrayal. Giddens said, "I get a hoot out of his shameful attempts at seducing--and/or blackmailing-- find Britch's horny henchman all shades of skeevy." The poll revealed that 21% (238 voters) loved the character, while 41% (459 voters) did not. However, 37% (415 voters) loved to hate the character.[34] Shen was also welcomed by "boos" at a fan event.[30] On-Air On-Soaps also praised Shen for his portrayal and said the actor "played [Brad] to the hilt."[31] According to Soap Opera Digest, the show has a history of turning secondary characters into breakout characters and "The newest member of this esteemed club is lab rat Bradley Cooper, played by the winning Parry Shen." Brad goes from Britt's "convenient co-conspirator" a secondary character with long term viability. The magazine continued, "the more we know about what lies beneath Brad's bitter surface, the more we like the complex crank and hope he'll let his conscience be his guide."[26] Shen ranked at #9 on Daytime Confidential's list of the "10 Best Soap Opera Newbies," for the year 2013. The website praised the actor for cementing Brad as one of the show's "most outrageous characters," and making the character more than just a one note villain.[35] In September 2013, Brad and Felix's scenes in which Brad admits to being bullied as a child were also featured on Chelsea Lately in which Chelsea Handler discusses her love for hospitals.[36]

Felix DuBois RN, portrayed by Marc Anthony Samuel was introduced to the series in late 2012.[38]

Casting and portrayal

The casting was announced in November 2012, with Samuel's first airdate slated for December 4, 2012. Samuel made his debut as a contract cast member.[39] Samuel revealed to Windy City Times that his management team set him up to audition with casting director Mark Teschner. Samuel was then brought back for a screen test with Teresa Castillo, and they offered him the role a few days later.[40]

What appealed to Samuel the most was that Felix was such a "diverse character," and immediately sounded like "fun."[41] Samuel defended the controversial character and insisted that Felix is not a "stereotype" or a "caricature," but he a "human being." Samuel described Felix as "campy, extra fierce," and at times he can be the "tough guy," when he feels the need to protect his loved ones.[42] The inspiration for his portrayal of Felix comes from some of Samuel's friends. Felix will "verbally cut you," if you cross him. However, Samuel and his own father were adamant about not playing the role as a stereotype but Samuel trusted the head writer and executive producer to do well by the character.[43] On November 10, 2014, it was reported that Samuel had been dropped to recurring status with the series.[44]

Development

It was revealed that Samuel's Felix would play an integral role in the revival of the once annual tradition, the Nurses' Ball. Michael Fairman said "this new character may be part of an under-represented segment of characters on daytime, in more ways than one!" The statement appeared to be a hint at Felix being black and also gay.[39] Samuel revealed to Daytime Confidential that his bosses encouraged him to improvise a lot of Felix's dialogue.[45] According to Samuel, the writers observed what he brought to the role personally, and used that to write Felix's witty dialogue.[40]

In June 2013, hinted at a potential future love interest for the character.[45] When Bobbie Spencer mentioned her son Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes)'s troubled dating life, fans immediately assumed the character would return and have a romance with Felix. Samuel said he was definitely open to any romantic possibilities and said he wanted Felix to experience a "fully realized life." Felix at the time is the show's only gay character on canvas, and Samuel said he had a responsibility to play Felix as the "human being" that he is.[46] Samuel was open to the romance, whether it be Lucas, or a new character.[45] In June 2013, Samuel hinted at the fact that introduction of Felix's sister Taylor would lead to development of the character's backstory.[47] Throughout 2013, Felix played the role of the supportive best friend to Sabrina, but his love life is non-existent. However, Samuel maintained that the character would eventually get a love interest.[48]

Storylines

Felix is a student nurse at General Hospital who befriends Sabrina.[39] He reveals he also works for Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) as a cosmetics consultant, and agrees to help Sabrina contact her for help with the Nurse's Ball. The duo recruits Lucy, Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) to help organize the ball and Felix gets Carly Jacks (Laura Wright) to donate the ballroom at the Metro Court hotel. Meanwhile, Felix develops a crush on Milo Giambetti (Drew Cheetwood), despite him being straight and feels betrayed when Sabrina begins dating him after they graduate from nursing school. They eventually reconcile and but are forced to deal with the manipulative Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) tries to win the affections of Sabrina's new boyfriend, Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) with "their" unborn child. To get information, about Britt faking morning sickness, Felix flirts with her flunky Brad Cooper (Parry Shen). Felix later takes in his sister, Taylor (Samantha Logan, Pepi Sonuga). Suspicious of the baby's paternity, Felix and Sabrina set out to prove that Patrick isn't the father. However, they are unsuccessful as the paternity test prove Patrick is the father. Felix becomes suspicious of the paternity of Britt's child and convinces Sabrina to get a DNA test.

Fortunately, they reconcile when Felix convinces him to play an elf at the Christmas party. In January 2014, Felix asks Brad on a date after they reconcile from another fight after the death of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

Reception

Roger Newcomb of We Love Soaps said the character's debut was filled with "memorable one-liners."[49] TV Source Magazine referred to the character as GH's resident "guru" and compared him to Shell Kepler's Amy Vining.[50] We Love Soaps described Felix as the town's "got to wingman." Walker Ragsdale described his portrayal of Felix as "very authentic," as opposed to "over the top."[43] "Few characters on television right now are better with the turn of a phrase than Felix Dubois," Regan Cellura said of Felix.[45] Of the character, Maria Ciaccia said, "Felix isn't the first gay character on General Hospital, but he's definitely the most fun." In addition to being a "loyal friend, witty and outspoken," Ciaccia believed Felix also has a big heart.[51]

"Lipstickgate"

Soon after Marc Anthony Samuel's debut as Felix, an openly gay male nurse, some viewers criticized what they called stereotypical homosexual characterization. Most notably, blogger Andy Towle wrote on Towleroad.com, "To establish his character as gay, his first scenes involved him pulling out a tube of lipstick and offering to touch up a heterosexual woman. Oy."[52] Headwriter at the time Ron Carlivati quickly spoke up in defense, citing his experience and various other homosexual characters he created, as well as the GLAAD Media Award he received. Carlivati explained the lipstick was an integral plot point yet to be seen on-screen. Responding directly on Towle's post, Carlivati said, "Does this make him too queeny? Not straight-acting enough? Is that the only type of gay character allowed on TV now? As far as I'm concerned, to be offended by this character is what is offensive."[53] The continued discussion, which Carlivati named "Lipstick-gate"[54][55] quickly made headlines.[54][56][57] Towle soon posted again, stating, "There's no question in my mind that Mr. Carlivati should be allowed the chance to develop his character more fully before judgment is passed and I regret if my commentary suggested that it should. [...] I'm looking forward to seeing how his Felix Dubois character develops and thank him for his remarks and reaction."[53][55][57]

Occupation Mayor

Storylines

Mayor Janice Lomax first appears in May 2012, in order to terminate Mac Scorpio (John J. York) from his position as police commissioner, citing the unsolved deaths of Cole Thornhart and his daughter Hope and also the death of Robin Scorpio-Drake (Kimberly McCullough), as well as the actions of corrupt detective Ronnie Dimestico (Ronnie Marmo), as her main reasons why. Lomax also expressed concern following the conviction and imprisonment of Mac's daughter Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) in connection with the murder of Lisa Niles (Brianna Brown), and the potential negative publicity it could bring the police department, and by extension, the mayor's office. Lomax subsequently pursues Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) to succeed Mac, a job which she ultimately accepts despite some early reluctance.

Lomax resurfaces in August 2012 to appoint John McBain (Michael Easton), while Commissioner Devane was away in Europe, in charge of the police investigation into a terrorist act committed by Jerry Jacks (Sebastian Roché) and also Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), whereby they both contaminated the water supply with a dangerous pathogen because Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) didn't drink it because he was in Los Angeles and Franco (James Franco) was killed.

In March 2013, Lomax appears again to figure out what to do with the escape situation aftermath of Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), John McBain and Rafe Kovich, Jr. (Jimmy Deshler) escaping with the help of Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell)'s cousin Molly Lansing-Davis (Haley Pullos) to save Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and Danny Morgan from the detained Caleb Morley/Stephen Clay (Michael Easton) because Todd Manning (Roger Howarth) was arrested for holding Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) at gunpoint in an empty courtroom, blaming him for Cole and Hope's death and also killing Robin. Anna Devane tries to resign from the police commissioner position, but Mayor Lomax cannot let this happen. She says that would impact her image too much and tries to figure out what to do with the fugitives. She says that if they release them, they would be encouraging vigilantism, but if they press charges, it would cause problems too. She goes to the media in the PCPD main room and says that the three fugitives were acting in accordance with Police Commissioner Anna Devane and are going to be released.

She was set to officiate the wedding between Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner), but she was too booked and Lesley Webber (Denise Alexander) decided to step in before Heather Webber (Robin Mattson) decided to turn herself in for stabbing Steven Webber (Scott Reeves). Not even she can know the case of Franco (Roger Howarth; aka Jerry Jacks' look-alike) when Carly Jacks (Laura Wright) went missing, because it was Heather Webber that did the job. In 2015, Lomax replaced Anna with Jordan Ashford as PCPD Commissioner. In mid 2015, she has Ric take over the district attorney duties when Scott leaves the post to defend his son (now Roger Howarth). In late 2015, she has Paul Hornsby (now Richard Burgi) to take over the post. In early 2016, Lomax wishes to use The Metro Court. While making the arrangements official, she finds a problem with Olivia Falconeri breastfeeding her son (Verity Jann LoCicero) in public. Lomax soon has Olivia arrested. The charges are dropped after Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) takes on Olivia's case.

Storylines

Rosalie Martinez first appears as the personal nurse of Nina Clay. She works as an on-call nurse to help with Nina's recovery after awakening from a 20-year coma. It's soon discovered that Rosalie has known all along that Nina has been awake longer than anyone knows, she can walk and isn't helpless or in need of a nurse. Rosalie helps Nina plot revenge on everyone who she thinks has wronged her, including; Nina's mother, Madeline Reeves, husband Dr. Silas Clay, Silas's new girlfriend Samantha Morgan (Kelly Monaco), Silas's old mistress, Ava Jerome and Silas's daughter, Kiki Jerome (Kristen Alderson). Rosalie objected to Kiki being on Nina's list because she felt that Kiki hadn't done anything to Nina, but Nina told Rosalie to go along with it, or she herself would end up on the list. Nina plans to start her revenge on Silas right away by interrupting his date with Sam, by claiming that she fell from her wheelchair and Rosalie wasn't there to help her.

Rosalie was hesitant of the plan because Silas is still technically her boss, and she didn't want to get fired for looking negligent. Nina reminds Rosalie that she's not as poor as everyone thinks and if Rosalie agrees to this plan, she would be rewarded financially. Rosalie agrees to the plan and leaves the apartment. She ends up at The Floating Rib where she runs in Detective Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). They share a short conversation and Rosalie reveals that she previously lived in Manhattan. After talking with Nathan, he buys her a drink and then she leaves and heads back to Silas's apartment to continue with Nina's plan. When she arrives, Silas berates her for not being there. She lies and said she had car trouble and her phone died. Then she ripped into Silas for going on a date with his girlfriend while his wheelchair-bound wife was left at home alone. Rosalie continues to help Nina with her schemes and blasts Silas whenever she can for his behavior and attitude toward Nina.

On July 23, Rosalie meets Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) after she accidentally threw her phone at him. Rosalie gives him some ice for his head and they begin to talk. Rosalie tells Morgan about her father who she does not get along with, and Morgan tells Rosalie about his issues with his own father and ex-girlfriend, Ava Jerome. After their talk, they exchange phone numbers in case either one of them needs someone to talk to in the future. Rosalie and Morgan meet up again at General Hospital. They confide in each other again and update one another on their current situations. Afterward, Rosalie invited Morgan to go out and have a drink with her, but Morgan had to decline because he needed to go and visit his friend, Alice Gunderson (Bergen Williams), who just had a heart transplant. They decided to go out for drinks sometime in the future. Rosalie went on to check in with Nina, who was ranting about the people in her life who had wronged her. When Nina brought up Ava, Rosalie put the pieces together that Ava is the woman Morgan was talking about.

Nina pulls Rosalie further into her revenge scheme when she orders Rosalie to seduce Kiki's boyfriend, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) away from her. Rosalie is resistant because of her interest in Morgan, but when she is left with no choice, she goes along with Nina's scheme. Rosalie goes on a double date with Morgan, Michael and Kiki and starts causing trouble for Michael and Kiki's relationship, by planting seeds of doubt in Michael's mind about Morgan and Kiki's closeness. Rosalie starts to get closer to Michael, so she can get him into bed and seduce him to fulfill Nina's revenge on Kiki. Rosalie goes to Michael's apartment to apologize to him for anything problems that she may have caused for him and Kiki. He says it's fine and tells her to leave. As she is about to leave a guy pushes his way past her and threatens to kill both her and Michael. Michael attempts to protect Rosalie and Kobe is about to kill them Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore) arrives. As Kobe takes Michael hostage, Rosalie freaks out, distracting Kobe and Michael fights him for the gun. The gun goes off and Kobe goes down.

Shawn calls Michael's parents, Sonny Corinthos and Carly Corinthos (Maurice Benard and Laura Wright), and they soon arrive at the apartment. Rosalie agrees to keep quiet about the shooting and everything that happened at Michael's apartment. Sonny decides to send Michael out of the country for a few weeks for his own protection. Nina is caught running in the hospital by Silas, which results in Nina coming clean about her condition. The very next day, Rosalie loses her job as Nina's personal nurse, because Silas now knows Nina can walk. Despite losing her official job, Nina still tries to pressure Rosalie into seducing Michael and helping with her schemes.

Rosalie refuses to continue going along with Nina's schemes and quits her "other job", making it clear she wanted no more part in Nina's revenge. Rosalie goes to the Brownstone to talk to Morgan, apologize and finally come clean about everything Nina had her doing. Morgan, however, was distracted and Rosalie soon learned that Ava, was hiding out in the brownstone. Meanwhile, Nina left a threatening message on Rosalie's phone, forcing her to continuing helping with the revenge schemes or she (Nina) would reveal the secret that Rosalie is keeping. When Madeline and Nina start working together, Madeline threatens to reveal Rosalie's secret if she doesn't reveal where Ava is so she does. In November, after Michael finds out Kiki has been keeping secrets from him, Rosalie and Michael end up sleeping together.

On January 14, Rosalie would run into Michael at the Metro Court and they would begin to talk about her needing a job. She would reveal that she really wasn't a nurse when asked by Michael to work for him at the AJ Quartermaine Memioral Clinic and would later be asked to be his assistant after his previous one quit. Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) would explain that they will have someone working on the inside at ELQ, the new assistant, just as Rosalie accepts. On January 15, Rosalie and Michael do a tour of Luke Spencer and Bobbie Spencer's (Anthony Geary and Jacklyn Zeman) childhood home, as it is confirmed that she is working with Helena, and she fakes having a sprained ankle in order to keep Michael from going to the basement. Rosalie and Michael would arrive at the hospital regarding her ankle the next day. Rosalie is later seen conspiring with Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) to take over ELQ.

In September it is revealed that she is married to Brad Cooper and were forced to marry each other so that neither would go to jail.

(...) We spent 2011 desperately clinging to those few early memories, as Siobhan transformed from an appealing character into a shrill, insecure harpy (...) Try as Jackson and Chambers might, the actors were unable to salvage an ounce of their prior appeal as a couple."[72]

When I was envisioning Madeline — a glamorous, high-powered bitch on wheels — it suddenly came to me: 'Oh, my God, she's Abby Ewing!'" Since Mills' only child recently started college, the role came at a perfect time. Mills' story arc is scheduled to run for about two months.

Carlos also has a connection to the Port Charles mafia.[86] The character also has ties to the criminal world.[89] On May 18, 2015, the character was killed off and his departure was officially confirmed by executive producer Frank Valentini.[90]

Sabrina is shocked by Carlos's arrival and he immediately wants to rekindle their romance. Though she rejects him, Carlos plants seeds of doubt in her about Patrick's devotion because he is still wearing his wedding ring. Carlos is eventually revealed to be the mob enforcer for Julian Jerome (William deVry). Days before Patrick and Sabrina's wedding, Carlos sees Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), Patrick's presumed dead wife and Sonny's presumed dead friend alive. He tells Sabrina, but she refuses to believe him. Carlos is later kidnapped by rival mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and lies about claiming to be the brother of Sonny's late Lily (Lilly Melgar) hoping it will keep him alive. However, it is revealed that Carlos is lying, but before Sonny's henchman, Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore) can kill him, Carlos escapes with help from TJ Ashford (Tequan Richmond). Carlos is shot during a shootout, and makes his way to Sabrina's. When Sabrina learns she is pregnant, Carlos claims to be the father despite knowing the child is Patrick's. Sabrina tells the truth to Patrick about him being the child's father and not Carlos. Carlos is then arrested for the murder of AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan). Ava Jerome (Maura West) visits him and threatens him if he babbles the truth about AJ then she will hurt Sabrina. So for Sabrina's sake, he pleads guilty. When Sabrina visits him in jail, he lies to her that he killed AJ and that he was lying to her all this time. Unable to bear the pain, Sabrina leaves. Months later, after learning the truth about the accident that Rafe was responsible for the car accident that killed her son.

Suzanne Stanwycke, portrayed by Adrienne Barbeau, was introduced on August 12, 2010 as the longtime friend and business associate to Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil). Barbeau made her final appearance on May 17, 2011. Barbeau is best known for her portrayal of Carol Traynor the hit 1970s sitcom, Maude.[96]

Casting

Adrienne Barbeau as Stanwycke.

In late May 2010, General Hospital released a casting call for the short term role of Suzanne Stanwyck. Unlike most casting calls, the character's name did not change once Barbeau was hired.[97][98] The casting was announced by Michael Logan of TV Guide on June 24, 2010.[99][100] Barbeau revealed that General Hospital contacted her agents to offer her the role, "out of the blue."[101] However, Barbeau's status depended on fans response to the character.[102][103] The role was initially supposed to be about a month-long stint, but it later became "open ended."[104] On April 12, 2011, Barbeau announced her departure from the series through Twitter. However, set insiders claimed that Barbeau could likely return to the series.[105]

Development

"Suzanne was a journalist, someone like Christiane Amanpour, but in print primarily. She is not well known. She was so disheartened by what she was seeing in her travels as a journalist that she decided to start this charity organization to help exploited children."[104]

Adrienne Barbeau on Suzanne's past.

The initial casting call described Suzanne as being in her 50s. Suzanne is "tough, funny, no-nonsense with a heart of gold." Suzanne does not have patience for "BS" and has spent majority of her life fighting for children's rights.[98] TV Guide described Suzanne as a "tough-as-nails broad." Suzanne runs the Alliance to Save Exploited Children (ASEC) in Italy. Suzanne has worked closely with supermodel Brenda Barrett for years. "Despite her hard ege," Suzanne has a lot of love to give, and she loves Brenda very much. Guza described her as Brenda's "confidante." According to Guza, the character has a "surprising feminine side."[99] Both Guza and Barbeau hinted that Suzanne could find romance, and Barbeau joked about her attraction to Steve Burton's Jason. Barbeau developed majority of Suzanne's backstory which is hinted at on August 20, 2010, when she lectures Brenda about mob violence. However, Barbeau said that if the opportunity presented itself, she would make adjustments to the script to portray Suzanne's past in the way she has already developed it.[101] Barbeau said Suzanne reminds her of herself.[104] "My kind of ballsy, take-no-prisoners babe," Barbeau said of her character.[106] When it comes to Suzanne's friendship with Brenda, she needs a face to bring attention to her cause at ASEC, and Brenda is kind of like her Angelina Jolie.[104] In February 2011, Suzanne is revealed to be the wife of Theo Hoffman (Daniel Benzali) who secretly operating as European crime figure, The Balkan. Suzanne and Theo are blame Brenda for her part in their son, Aleksander's murder. Barbeau told TV Guide that she was not made aware of her character's true identity and intentions with Brenda until shortly before Benzali's debut as Theo in December 2010. Like her co-stars, Barbeau was shocked by the plot twist and immediately questioned the direction of the storyline; "How do I justify all of Suzanne's behavior up until now?" she asked. However, Barbeau was relieved that she did not know of Suzanne's true identity immediately because it would've made it more challenging to play the character. Guza and Barbeau retraced Suzanne's steps on the shot in an effort to make sure that the revelation would come across as "believable and explainable." According to the actress, Suzanne's motivations have changed since the beginning. Initially, Suzanne just wants the truth about her son. Because Barbeau is so dedicated to her cause as a child advocate, it makes the reveal all the more shocking. When questioned about the possibility of her character's future on the show, Barbeau said that even though Theo and Suzanne are married, they do not have the same agenda.[107] When the character was written out of the series, some speculated that Barbeau could reprise the role to facilitate Marcil's departure later that year.[108]

Storylines

Suzanne contacts Jason Morgan to help protect Brenda from European crime lord, The Balkan. Jason convinces the women to come to Port Charles to make the process easier, but Suzanne disapproves when Brenda rekindles her romance with and becomes engaged to her former flame, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Suzanne goes to extremes to stall the wedding, including flooding the venue and destroying Brenda's wedding gown. Sonny and Brenda confront Suzanne about her schemes and she claims she is worried Sonny's enemies will target Brenda. It is then revealed that Suzanne is actually married to the Balkan, aka Theo Hoffman. The duo want Brenda to answer for their son, Aleksander's death in 2007. After Theo kidanps Brenda with the help of Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore), it is revealed that Brenda gave birth to Aleksander's stillborn son with Suzanne by her side. Theo immediately assumes the child lived as it was Suzanne who witnessed the birth. Though denying Theo's accusations, she harbors resentment toward her husband for allowing their son into the criminal life. During Theo's search for their grandson, Suzanne kills him. Suzanne continues to raise her grandson in secret, but to keep Brenda and Sonny from finding him, she presents Brenda with another little boy named Lucian, and pretends he is the child. When Sonny demands a DNA test, Suzanne kidnaps the boy and skips town. Fortunately, Suzanne is found in San Antonio with Brenda's biological son, Alec. Brenda meets her son, and Suzanne is arrested.

Reception

Michael Logan said, "If you can hold your own against Maude, those mobsters in Port Charles should be a cinch!" Logan also praised the character's name as "best soap name ever!" Logan said the character would make a good match for Anthony Geary's Luke Spencer.[99] On Soaps She Knows, fans hoped for Barbeau's pairing with Geary, while some also voted for a potential pairing with Tristan Rogers's Robert Scorpio.[109] TV Guide described Suzanne's reveal as The Balkan's wife as a "jaw-dropper" and "stunning revelation."[107]
