Stephen Clay

General Hospital writers revealed that Caleb Morley was Stephen Clay’s vampire stage persona. As the story goes, Livvie died, and Caleb was distraught enough to end up in an institution after committing seven murders. Caleb/Stephen had vowed to reunite with Livvie no matter what it takes. John and Caleb fight in the Cassidine tunnels and Caleb/Stephen seemingly dies.

John pulls off the fake vampire teeth revealing Caleb as Stephen Clay. Afterward, the body is taken to the medical examiner where we see Caleb and the medical examiner have switched places. Caleb puts on his ring and walks away leaving the medical examiner on the examination table.

Silas Clay

After the lawsuit between Prospect Place and ABC filing in 2013, Michael needed a new character. John McBain left to return to Landview, and Caleb disappeared. Silas left home when he turned eighteen and never looked back. Sam went to Manhattan in search of Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) and ran into Silas Clay at the hospital. Sam thought she had found Stephen again, Silas revealed that they were brothers.

Sam tells Silas of Stephen crimes and about his son Rafe. Sam is surprised that Silas does not react to this information. Two days later, Silas shows up wanting to meet Rafe. Silas sues for and gets custody of Rafe. Silas also informs Sam that Danny (T.K. Weaver) is sick, later it is discovered that Danny has Leukemia. Silas treats Danny, and he pulls through. Sam and Silas later begin a relationship which ends when Silas’ wife, Nina, returns from the dead. Nina’s mother, Madeline, stabbed Silas in his apartment.

Hamilton Finn

General Hospital’s Finn originally came to town to help Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). Finn has fought both disease and drug addiction to keep his place at General Hospital. Finn is still in Port Charles and currently involved with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Finn’s other love interests in Port Charles include Hayden Barnes Rebecca Budig) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

In my spare time, I enjoy reading as well as writing fan fiction. General Hospital’s Sam and Jason are one of my favorite couples of all time.
