Dr. Silas Clay 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.

Storylines

In May 2013, Samantha Morgan (Kelly Monaco) finds herself in a Manhattan Emergency Room, aiding in the search for Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig). 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. The doctor eventually introduces himself as Dr. Silas Clay, older brother to the deranged serial killer, with whom he had lost contact with a decade earlier.

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

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's 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.

In-universe information Occupation Nurse Cosmetics consultant Siblings Taylor DuBois

Felix DuBois is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. Marc Anthony Samuel was hired for the role on a contract status in 2012, first appearing on December 4.

Storylines

Felix DuBois arrives at General Hospital in December 2012 as a friend of fellow student nurse, Sabrina Santiago. He reveals he also works for Lucy Coe as a cosmetics consultant, and agrees to help Sabrina contact her for help with the Ball.

Reception

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."

In-universe information Occupation Art dealer Children Lauren Jerome Kiki Jerome

Ava Jerome is a fictional character from the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The role is portrayed by Maura West since May 2013.

Casting and creation

In early April, Jamey Giddens and Jillian Bowe of Daytime Confidential reported a rumor that the Emmy winner West, known for her role as Carly Snyder on As the World Turns was set to join the cast in a top secret role. On April 24, nearly two weeks after DC's original report, Soap Opera Digest confirmed the news and revealed that West had joined the cast in the newly created role of Ava Jerome, and was slated to appear sometime in May. Soaps In Depth immediately speculated that the character shared a connection to the infamous 80s crime family the Jerome family. West made her debut on May 8, 2013.

Storylines

Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) tracks down art dealer Ava Jerome at her home in New York City. Luke gets Ava to confess that she was once involved with the crazed artist Franco (James Franco) and that he fathered her daughter, Lauren Jerome. Ava is shocked to learn from Luke that Franco is an heir to the wealthy and powerful Quartermaine family and that Lauren is entitled to a share of the family fortune. After Luke's visit, it is revealed that Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), the missing son of mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is hiding out in Ava's apartment. It's reveled that Ava has another daughter, Kiki, and that Kiki is dating Morgan.

Development

If Ava's connection to the notorious Jerome crime family panned out, not only would West's arrival cause trouble for Port Charles's local kingpin, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), but there was also great storyline potential for Ian Buchanan and Finola Hughes's Duke Lavery and Anna Devane who shared a quite volatile history with the Jerome family. Critics began speculating that the character would be the long lost daughter of Tonja Walker's Olivia St. John (née Jerome) despite the relatively small age difference between the actresses; however Matt Webb Motivich of TV Line also suggested that Ava could be a previously unknown child of Olivia's crime lord father, Victor Jerome (Jack Axelrod). The character is immediately thrown into a major storyline as it is revealed that she is helping hide Morgan and that she is Lauren's mother. West described her character, saying, "She's mysterious and strong and just has all of the characteristics of a great character."

Reception

Jamey Giddens referred to West's potential casting as a "bombshell." TV Source discussed the storyline potential that could come with West's character if she shared was related to the Jerome family. West debut as Ava was highly anticipated by fans and critics alike. "[I]t was as amazing as we’d hoped" said Omar Nobles of West's May 8 debut.

During the reveal of Siobhan's alliance with The Balkan and betrayal to Lucky, entertainment journalist Michael Fairman commented: "This week, [Jonathan Jackson] was ably well-supported in performances by newcomer Erin Chambers (Siobhan) who in twist and turns conveyed high emotional stakes for Jackson to play off of." Entertainment website Zap2it named Chambers the No. 6 Top Newcomer of 2010, elaborating: "Chambers’ portrayal of the strong-willed, independent-yet-vulnerable Siobhan has injected refreshing new energy into Lucky’s storyline and has proven to be one of the few bright spots in the monotonous Balkan storyline." By the end of 2011, Zap2it named Siobhan and Lucky the No. 6 Worst Soap Opera Couple of 2011, stating: "When General Hospital's Siobhan (Erin Chambers) was first introduced in 2010, the character was like a breath of fresh, Irish spring air. (...) 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."
