Dr. David Hayward is a fictional character from the ABC daytime drama All My Children, as portrayed by Vincent Irizarry from November 27, 1997 to March 2, 1998, then July 8, 1998 to November 28, 2006. David returned to the All My Children canvas on October 23, 2008.
The character has been a top television villain for years.[2][3] His criminal actions have been alluded to by authors, as well as recognized by their own fictional characters.[4] David evolves but always remains a force antagonizing heroes and heroines of the series.
Brief character history
Dr. David Hayward first arrives in Pine Valley in late 1997 to reclaim his ex-lover, Dr. Allie Doyle. Allie is dating Dr. Jake Martin at the time. When Allie rejects him, David tries to get Jake out of the way. He frames Jake at the hospital by giving stroke patient Adam Chandler the wrong medication. David arrives "just in time" to play hero, which provides him with enough ammunition to get Jake suspended. David ends up leaving Pine Valley for a short time, but return less than a year later in an attempt to woo Liza Colby, with whom he has grown infatuated.
David remains a common enemy of the Martin family throughout the next several years, constantly at war with Jake and his father, Joe Martin. But it is his obsession with Dixie Cooney Martin, Jake's sister in-law, that is the fuel for his greatest rival: Tad Martin.
At the time, Dixie is just one of the many women in Pine Valley with whom David has a romantic relationship. Another significant relationship he has is with Erica Kane, and although it does not end in marriage, David grows very close to Erica's daughter, Bianca Montgomery. When Bianca suffers heart problems as the result of her eating disorder (anorexia nervosa), it is David who treats her and ultimately helps her survive.
Shortly after his relationship with Erica ends, David pours Libidozone, a drug he created and uses to arouse sexual desires, into a punch bowl at a party aboard a yacht. The drug has the known side effect of causing people to act out on their hidden, restrained impulses. Most everyone aboard the yacht is affected by the drug. The dosing of the punch bowl is eventually discovered and David is arrested. David manages to avoid being convicted of the charges against him by blackmailing Adam (David learns that Adam Chandler, Jr. had stolen drugs from his medical bag) into getting the judge presiding over the case to drop the charges.
David comes to meet many family members of which he is not previously aware, including a half-brother named Leo du Pres and a cousin named Maggie Stone. Leo dies in the Fall 2002, while Maggie moves away from Pine Valley in February 2005. David and Leo's mother, Vanessa Bennett, was attempting to shoot and kill Leo's wife, Greenlee Smythe, who she had trapped on a cliff at Miller's Falls. Leo tackled his mother pulled her off the edge of the waterfall in order to save his wife. Neither body was ever found, but both are presumed dead. Leo's death devastated David.
David and then-wife Anna Devane name their daughter, Leora, after David's beloved half-brother. The infant child is an unhealthy one due to a congenital heart defect, and she dies shortly after she is born. David blames the Martin family for Leora's death, as they convinced Anna that the little girl needed heart surgery to save her life, while David feels that it would be better to wait until she was stronger. David felt that if he had been in complete control of Leora's case, his daughter would still be alive. He is devastated. David then starts seeing an imaginary five year old Leora sometimes. He talks to this image. Finally, Anna is able to get through to David with the help of imaginary Leora and David and Anna are finally able to grieve together. But, the marriage does not last and Anna leaves Pine Valley shortly after Leora's death.
In the early summer 2004, David is stunned to learn that he has a daughter in the form of Pine Valley newcomer Babe Carey, wife of JR Chandler and mother of "Bess Chandler" (who David had discovered was actually Miranda Montgomery). Babe is the product of a one-night stand with Krystal Carey when he was a student in medical school, and he was completely unaware the liaison resulted in a child. David loves Babe from the moment he learns she is his child, and even though he helps cover up Babe's lie concerning the true identity of "Bess", his relationship with his daughter is always a rocky. His willingness to cover up Babe's deception severely damages his relationship with the Kane women, with whom he had almost always been close. His crimes concerning the baby switch also costs him his medical license for quite some time, and he is forced to perform community service at Pine Valley Hospital as a janitor. Nevertheless, David is pleased when Bianca gets her baby back and that Babe's son, Adam Chandler III, is actually alive.
Towards the end of his second stint in Pine Valley, David exudes hatred for Zach Slater (and it was reciprocated) due to Zach's involvement in Dixie Martin's life. David left Pine Valley in the Fall of 2006 after making a video exposing many of his enemies' secrets and leaving it for interested parties to see. Several Pine Valley residents, including Tad and Jamie Martin, consider the possibility that David is the serial killer who murdered Simone Torres and Erin Lavery, and attempted to murder Danielle Frye. The killer, also known as "The Satin Slayer", is later revealed to be Alexander Cambias, Sr.
David returns to Pine Valley in the Fall of 2008. Having been hiding in the tunnels of the Chandler mansion, he first reveals himself right after a series of tornadoes strike the town. He is grief stricken to learn that his daughter Babe has died as a result of injuries sustained during the natural disaster. Blaming the Chandlers (and, to a lesser extent, Tad) for Babe's death, he decides to seek revenge by gaining custody of Babe's son, Little Adam. Later, David uses Amanda Dillon to get revenge on JR, knowing that the two of them are friends and Amanda was a good friend of Babe's.
On June 12, 2009, Amanda gives birth to a healthy baby boy, David's son. David tracks her and Jake down at a clinic and they let David believe that their son died, which sends David into despair.
On August 7, 2009, his daughter, Marissa Tasker is shot. When he goes in for her surgery, he hesitates, saying that he keeps seeing Leora in her place. He makes a vow to Krystal that he will make sure that no one in Pine Valley will hurt their daughter again, seeing as she is the only daughter he has left.
On August 28, 2009 David kidnapped Liza Colby and got her to admit that his son with Amanda is alive and that she ( Liza Colby) knew and helped keep him from his son, with the help of Jake, Tadd and eventually Amanda. On August 31, 2009 while talking with Liza, David realized his son with Amanda is missing.
