#1 John McBain
Michael Easton originally joined General Hospital as John McBain, a cop from the Landview Police Department. John blamed Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for his sister’s death. Of course, John was wrong and Sonny was not the guilty party, Joe Scully Jr. (Richard Steinmetz) ended up being responsible for John’s sister’s death. Writers tried to put John with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) but fans wanted no part of the pairing.
#2 Caleb Morley
General Hospital introduced Caleb Morley (Michael Easton), a vampire from GH spinoff Port Charles. Caleb tried to frame John for murder and tried to kidnap but Sam and Danny Morgan (Porter Fascullo). Caleb was convinced that Sam was his wife Livvie Locke (Kelly Monaco). John ended up saving Sam and Danny from Caleb. However, there was more of an issue.
#3 Stephen Clay
When General Hospital’s Caleb was supposedly killed, it turned out that it wasn’t Caleb, but it was Stephen Clay instead. Stephen believed that Caleb would be more of a threat to everyone and had pretended to be Caleb instead. Fans will remember that the body disappeared so Stephen or Caleb could still be alive somewhere. Stephen was a serial killer and former rock musician.
#4 Silas Clay
General Hospital’s Silas Clay (Michael Easton) was the brother of Stephen Clay. Silas was a dead ringer for his brother. Silas was also the husband and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and former lover of Ava Jerome. Silas was Kiki Jerome’s (Hayley Erin) father. Silas was loved by Jasam fans because he saved Danny’s life. However, Silas was killed by his greedy mother in law. Silas was very standoffish and almost abrasive when he was first introduced but later changed. Silas was a fan favorite and it caused a huge uproar when he was killed.
#5 Hamilton Finn
General Hospital’s Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) appeared shortly after Silas Clay’s demise. Finn is an infectious disease specialist and helped save Sam as well as many others. However, most people seemed to ignore the fact that Finn looks like Silas. Finn has been paired with residents like Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) as well as Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Finn has also had issues with relationships because of his wife’s death years ago.
