Warren Bauer, portrayed by Bradley Cole, was introduced as the father of Kiefer Bauer (Christian Alexander) on March 17, 2010. Casting The cast was announced on February 9, 2010, by Cole himself on Twitter. The character was originally named Carlton Bauer. 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. Dan J. Kroll of Soap Central speculated that Kiefer's abusive behavior could stem from his home environment. 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. Soaps In Depth described the character as a "big wig" who works on Wall Street. The Bauer family is very wealthy. Regan Cellura said that Warren is the exact opposite of his characters on Guiding Light. Storylines To get his girlfriend, Kristina Davis (Lexi Ainsworth) to cover for him when he hits her, Kiefer recounts his abusive childhood to her. 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. Due 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. 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 Bauers. ==Claudette Beaulieu==

Living as Jason, he reunites with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and they marry and have another child. The couple welcomes a daughter, Emily "Scout" Morgan, named after Jason's late sister. In 2017, with the return of Steve Burton, the head writing team of Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman retconned Miller's portrayal of Jason into that of Jason's previously unknown twin brother, Drew. In July 2019, Miller announced his decision to exit the soap; he was actually fired. Miller made his last appearance on August 21 when the character was seemingly killed off.

In August of the same year, following increased speculation, Entertainment Weekly announced Mathison's casting in the role of Drew; he debuted in the final moments of the August 16 episode. ==Harrison Chase==

Harrison Chase, portrayed by Josh Swickard, made his first appearance on February 21, 2018. Swickard auditioned for the role of Peter August. Though he did not get the role, casting directors reached out after Ryan Paevey (Nathan West) opted to leave the show, casting Swickard as a detective hired to replace Paevey's character. Storylines Detective Harrison Chase joins the PCPD, becoming Dante Falconeri's (Dominic Zamprogna) new partner after Dante's former partner, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), is killed. Chase does his best to prove himself on the police force and get to know Dante, still grieving Nathan. Chase ends up running into his older half-brother, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), whom he has not spoken to in years. Though Finn is initially cold and distant towards Chase, the two brothers eventually form a bond and become close. Chase runs into Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier), whom he investigated previously for her fiancé's death. Nelle seduced him so she wouldn't be charged, and Chase got written up for misconduct. He was fired and nearly had to give up his police career. Chase knows Nelle reported him, and promises to keep an eye on her after finding out she is involved with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), a wealthy heir. Michael and Chase team up to arrest Nelle after she sets up Michael's mother, Carly (Laura Wright), to make her look insane. They catch Nelle in the act, and she is sent to prison. Chase becomes attracted to Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), a school teacher, and the two eventually start dating. Chase tries to help Willow when she is threatened by Shiloh (CMcLaughlin), a cult leader whose group, Dawn of Day, Willow was once a part of. Willow was drugged and raped by Shiloh, becoming pregnant, and gave up her son for adoption to protect him from Shiloh. Shiloh finds out, and demands Willow tell him where their son is, taking her to court. Willow refuses, and gets sent to jail. Chase is frustrated at the system failing Willow, and considers resigning. Fortunately, Shiloh's numerous crimes are exposed, and he is sent to prison while Willow is released, and her son is kept safe. The truth eventually comes out that Wiley, Willow's son who was adopted by Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) and Brad Cooper (Parry Shen), is actually Michael and Nelle's son, and Willow's son died after he was born. Chase helps Michael rescue Wiley from Nelle when she tries to kidnap him, and later comforts Willow after she finds out about her son's death. Nelle sued Michael for custody, and his lawyer, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), thought Michael getting married would strengthen his case for custody. She suggested he marry Willow, but Willow refused, being in a relationship with Chase. Unwilling to let Nelle win custody of Wiley, Chase pretended to have an affair with Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), Michael's girlfriend. Willow was hurt, and agreed to marry Michael, who won custody of Wiley. Chase was depressed over losing Willow, as Sasha was over Michael. Eventually, Sasha nearly died from a drug overdose, and Chase came clean to Willow about his and Sasha's scheme to stage an affair so Michael would win custody of Wiley. Willow is shocked, but forgives Chase, and the two start to rebuild their relationship. Chase is thrilled when his mother, Jackie Templeton (Kim Delaney), comes to town, but sad when she reveals that she is divorcing his father, Gregory (Gregory Harrison). Chase learns that before Jackie married Gregory, she had a one-night stand with Finn, and Chase could possibly be Finn's son. This is proven true with a DNA test, but Chase refuses to accept Finn as a father, and assures Gregory he will always love him. Chase is hospitalized after mysteriously collapsing. He had been poisoned by Peter August (Wes Ramsey), whose target was actually Finn. Finn desperately worked to find a cure for Chase, but when his cure only made Chase worse, he was forced to admit that Chase was dying. Chase asked Willow to marry him as his last wish, and she accepted. They married in the hospital chapel, and Chase flatlined soon after. Finn revived him, though, and was able to administer a cure that revived Chase and helped him recover. In the process, Finn figured out that Gregory was really Chase's father, because the original DNA test had been tampered with by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). ==Silas Clay==

• Kiki Jerome • Nelle Benson • Willow Tait }} }} 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 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. Storylines Silas was working as a doctor in Manhattan when he encountered Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), who believes he is serial killer Stephen Clay. He clarifies he is his older brother. Silas comes to Port Charles to meet his nephew, Rafe Kovich, Jr. (Jimmy Deshler), but Rafe's taken aback, because of Silas' resemblance to Stephen, and turns Silas down. Silas, though, petitions for custody of Rafe from Sam, his legal guardian. At the court hearing, he trashes Sam's image and, outraged, Sam confronts him. Instead, she finds him examining her son, Danny. Silas says Danny might be sick, but Sam walks away, discounting his observation. Sam takes Danny to the hospital, where he is diagnosed with cancer. Silas chooses to stay in town and help with Danny's care, giving up his petition for custody of Rafe. During Danny's treatment, he and Sam grow closer. Silas later encounters Ava Jerome (Maura West), his old flame, and her daughter, Kiki (Kristen Alderson). Though Ava denies it initially, Silas later finds out Kiki is his daughter. He and Kiki start to bond, and Silas starts dating Sam. When Detective Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) starts questioning Silas about a cold case, Sam finds out Silas is married. Silas admits it, and reveals his wife, Nina, has been in a coma for 20 years. He blames himself, because he was having an affair with Ava, and believes she attempted suicide when she found out. However, he finds out Nathan suspects Silas tried to kill her. Sam helps prove his innocence by revealing Nina's mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills), was the one responsible. Nina (Michelle Stafford) returns soon after, waking up from her coma. She moves in with Silas, who takes care of her, but still dates Sam. Though Nina insists she is fine with Silas moving on, Sam is suspicious. When Rafe dies in a car accident, Silas is devastated, and accuses Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), Rafe's doctor, of intentionally killing him since Rafe caused an accident that killed Patrick's son. Sam, though, defends Patrick, and she and Silas break up. Silas realizes Patrick did not kill Rafe, but also finds out Nina intentionally sabotaged his relationship with Sam as revenge for him sleeping with Ava. Having lost Sam for good, Silas helps out Kiki and Ava, who is in hiding after committing murder. When Nina steals Ava's newborn daughter, Avery, Silas helps Kiki bring Avery home. Ava is sent to prison, and Silas helps Kiki take care of Avery. When Ava escapes from prison, she is presumed dead after being shot. However, Silas saves her, and hides her in a facility, where he reveals she is dying of cancer. Though Ava is ready to die, Silas saves her by kidnapping Avery, and taking her bone marrow to save Ava's life. Ava returns to Port Charles under an alias, hoping to get close to Avery. Though Silas knows the truth, she blackmails him with Avery's kidnapping to stay silent. Soon after, Silas is found dead. His killer is revealed to be Madeline, who killed Silas to get her hands on Nina's inheritance. ==Stephen Clay==

• Frank Valentini (2013) • Caleb Morley • John McBain }} 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 to 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 played the role of John McBain until its cancellation in January 2012 and then brought the character of McBain to General Hospital. In 2013, writers decided to revisit Caleb's storyline from Port Charles and adapt it into the General Hospital storylines. Storylines 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 is there, Sam Morgan comes to PCU looking for the professor. Caleb becomes fixated on her, believing she is 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 will 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 was not a Stephen Clay, but Caleb Morley, the vampire, again using his former alias. ==Brad Cooper==

• Rosalie Martinez (until 2016) • Lucas Jones (2016–2020) }} • Jade Soong • Selina Wu }} }} Bradley "Brad" Cooper was introduced to the series on February 13, 2013, played by Marcus Toji. However, Parry Shen took over 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 did not expect it to last long. Background Shen initially thought his character's surname was a joke because the character was named after the award-winning actor. 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. Shen also confirmed the revelation on his Twitter account by posting links to YouTube clips featuring the characters. The producers managed to keep the secret up until the onscreen reveal. 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." Though Shen does his best to bring humor to the character, he relishes portraying the more raunchy side of his character. According to Shen, the character of Brad sticks around because he is so unique. In December 2013, Shen revealed that his character had some more material coming up, but he was not sure how much. 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. Shen was also welcomed by "boos" at a fan event. 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. ==Amy Driscoll==

}} Felix DuBois RN, portrayed by Marc Anthony Samuel, was introduced to the series in late 2012. 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. 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. What most appealed to Samuel was that Felix was such a diverse character, and immediately sounded like fun. Samuel defended the controversial character and insisted that Felix is not a stereotype or a caricature, but 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. The inspiration for his portrayal of Felix comes from some of Samuel's friends. Felix will "verbally cut you," if you cross him. 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. On November 10, 2014, it was reported that Samuel had been dropped to recurring status with the series. 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. According to Samuel, the writers observed what he brought to the role personally, and used that to write Felix's witty dialogue. Samuel was open to the romance, whether it be Lucas, or a new character. 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. Storylines Felix is a student nurse at General Hospital who befriends Sabrina. TV Source Magazine referred to the character as GH's resident "guru" and compared him to Shell Kepler's Amy Vining. 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." "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." 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." The continued discussion, which Carlivati named "Lipstick-gate" quickly made headlines. 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." ==Hamilton Finn==
