Josslyn Jacks

Josslyn is the daughter of Carly Jacks and Jasper “Jax” Jacks. Sonny is her step-father. Despite having a chaotic upbringing, Josslyn is very strong-willed and smart. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, and she isn’t loathe to share her opinions. When she was young, she hung around with Spencer Cassadine and had a crush on him. She also hung out with Cam, who became her boyfriend later on.

Josslyn’s first boyfriend was Oscar, who died of cancer. She became involved with Cam after him. She and Cam made love, but Esme filmed them and streamed in online, so that was traumatic for both teens. It was the beginning of their breakup.

Josslyn had cancer as a baby and had to get a kidney transplant. Nelle Benson’s father sold her kidney to Jax. (Nelle later came to down and wanted revenge)

Her next boyfriend was Dex, who does security for Sonny (but is secretly working for Michael, her brother).

Josslyn has a large extended family, which includes her late brother, Morgan. She was also very close to Jason Morgan. She’s had to endure a lot of loss in her young life, but she is very resilient. She can handle just about anything.

General Hospital Character Description: Spencer Cassadine

NICHOLAS CHAVEZ (Spencer) on GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Nicholas Chavez as Spencer Cassadine. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Spencer Cassadine

Spencer grew up on the show, more or less. His mother was Courtney, Sonny’s sister. She died after giving birth to Spencer in 2006 (from a virus). Nikolas raised him, but he wasn’t a very good dad because the Cassadines are all a little crazy. Many of them selfish, evil and psycho. They don’t treat each other well, and they often struggle for power and control of the family assets. They can be murderous to each other or to those outside the family,

Nikolas’ mother, Laura, is a good person, so she has been a positive influence on Spencer’s life. She gave him reasons not to become like the other Cassadines. His Uncle Sonny did the same thing, even though he’s a mobster.

Nonetheless, Spencer was spoiled for most of his childhood and got away with a lot. With his father’s wealth and his own intelligence, he did what he wanted. Unfortunately, he had to be sent away to boarding school when his life was threatened by other Cassadines.

After getting into a fight with Valentin Cassadine, Nikolas faked his own death. This was very hard on Spencer, who was now a full orphan. Laura, and her husband Kevin, raised him for a while, when he wasn’t in boarding school. Spencer was also close to Ava Jerome, but she betrayed him when she refused to be a witness against Valentin for killing Nikolas. Later, when it was revealed that Nikolas was still alive, and married to Ava, Spencer had a difficult time forgiving either of them.

When he was a young boy, Spencer was good friends with Elizabeth’s son, Cameron; Carly’s daughter, Josslyn; and Emma Scorpio, Robin’s daughter (whom he had a crush on). When he returned to town as a teen, he met up with Cam and Joss again, as well as Joss’ friend, Trina (Emma had moved away). He brought his girlfriend, Esme, to town. She seemed to be a spoiled brat, but it soon became evident that she was much worse.

Spencer is still close to Laura and Kevin, but he’s a grown man now. He was sentence to Spring Ridge for stalking Ava, and then he was briefly in prison because he left Spring Ridge to visit his mother’s grave. His Uncle Victor was able to get him out of prison with bribes. Spencer tried to like his uncle and trust him, but he knew that the Cassadines were not to be trusted.

Spencer and Esme did their best to make life difficult for Nikolas and Ava. Spencer also fell in love with Trina, complicating his relationship with Esme. After Nikolas slept with Esme, Spencer vowed to get custody of Esme’s baby (his little brother), to keep him safe. He also has to fight his Uncle Victor, who is trying to take over the world.

General Hospital Character Description: Nina Reeves

CYNTHIA WATROS (Nina) on GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Cynthia Watros as Nina Reeves. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Nina Reeves

Nina was born into wealth, but happiness has largely escaped her, thanks to her evil mother, Madeline. She poisoned Nina, putting her into a coma for many years. She also stole Nina’s twins in utero and sold or gave them away. She did all of this to hang on to her fortune. Nina’s only solace growing up was her love for her brother, Nathan, who became a cop. Madeline also killed Nina’s lover, Silas (and the father of her children). Liesl Obrecht was revealed to be Nathan’s real mother. It was a great loss to Nina when Nathan was murdered by his real father, Cesar Faison. All of these losses in Nina’s life have caused her to be very insecure. She tries to be tough on the outside (and can come over as a real bitch), but she’s very frail on the inside. She’s the type of person who creates drama everywhere she goes, intentionally or not.

When Nina came out of her coma, she had a hard time adjusting to life. She pretended to still be in a coma for a long time, so that she could get revenge on Silas for cheating on her. She ended up going into a mental institution later when she found out that her children had died and that Ava was pregnant (Ava had an affair with Silas while Nina was with him years ago). She tried to steal Ava’s baby, but the baby was rescued. Franco had helped her, and he, too, went into the institution. They had a brief romance. She also met and fell in love with Valentin Cassadine. Eventually, he had lied to her too many times for her to forgive him.

Although Nina ran a successful magazine for awhile, her main focus was on having children. She fell for Valentin’s daughter, Charlotte, so it was very painful for her when she and Valentin fell apart. Later, she found out that Nelle was her daughter, which made her start a long feud with Carly (she blamed Carly for Nelle’s death). For a time, Nina thought Sasha was her daughter.

In 2020, Sonny fell off a bridge and was thought to be dead, only to be found alive in 2021 in a small town in Pennsylvania called Nixon Falls. After learning that Nelle was her daughter, Nina sought out Phyllis, the nurse who had taken care of her when she was in the coma. Phyllis just happened to be in Nixon Falls and friends with Sonny. Nina fell in love with Sonny, who had no memory of his previous life as a mobster. She kept the truth from his family, in part because she blamed Carly for Nelle’s death.

Willow adopted Nelle’s baby, Wiley, so Nina tried to be a part of Wiley’s life. Things didn’t go well, and she was barred from seeing her grandson after the truth came out about Sonny. Later, she found out that Willow is also her daughter, and dying from leukemia.

Strangely enough, Nina and Ava are now friends.

General Hospital Character Description: Esme Prince

Posted on April 26, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Avery Kristen Pohl as Esme Prince. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Esme Prince

When Esme first arrived in Port Charles with her boyfriend, Spencer, she seemed like just a spoiled young rich woman. As time went on, she was revealed to be seriously disturbed. She did a number of terrible crimes to young Trina, Josslyn and Cameron out of jealousy and spite. Later, we found out that Esme murdered her adopted parents and that her biological parents are killers Ryan Chamberlain and Heather Webber. She worked with Ryan for months to put his plans of murder and revenge into action.

Esme lost Spencer because he fell in love with Trina, and he found out that she targeted Trina and his other friends. She then slept with his father, Nikolas, and got pregnant. Not wanting a psycho to raise his son, Nikolas kept her locked away in a tower of Wyndemere. However, she escaped and was rescued. She claimed to have amnesia, which made her a nicer person. She was still put in jail for her crimes, but Ryan and Heather escaped with her. They were captured and Esme had her baby. It’s unclear whether she really has amnesia or not, and whether she can be redeemed. She’s very similar to another character, Nelle, who also caused a lot of havoc in town.

General Hospital Character Description: Drew Cain

Posted on April 26, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Cameron Mathison as Drew Cain. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Drew Cain

Drew is a hero. He was in the military a long time, and even when he was tortured and brainwashed to be an assassin, his true nature came through. Drew is Jason Morgan’s twin brother, which makes him a Quartermaine. He was kidnapped at birth and raised by Franco’s mom, Betsy. He was a hero in the military but was derailed by Shiloh, who was trying to cover up his crimes. Shiloh had Drew’s memories erased, and he was kidnapped. Kim Nero and Drew had a son, Oscar, who died very young from cancer. For a time, Drew had been implanted with Jason’s memories, so he lived his life…until the real Jason re-appeared.

Drew was first involved with Elizabeth, and then later with Sam (when he thought he was Jason). He and Sam had a daughter, Scout, but they divorced when Jason returned. Drew was thought to be killed when Peter sabotaged his plane. He re-appeared recently, after being rescued, and has become involved with Carly.

Although he supposedly doesn’t have all of his former memories, he seems to remember them sometimes. It’s a little unclear whether he’s still missing some of his memories or whether he still has some of Jason’s. At any rate, he is definitely a lighter character than he was and is a true hero. Much like Curtis, he helps out the police and others when needed. He owns Aurora Media, which is part of ELQ. He seems to spend more time having adventures or canoodling with Carly than he does doing business.

General Hospital Character Description: Dex Heller

Posted on April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

EVAN HOFER (Dex Heller) on GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Evan Hofer as Dex Heller. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Dex Heller

Dex was hired by Michael to get information on his father, Sonny’s, organization, so that Michael can destroy his father’s business. In the process, Dex and Sonny became very close. Dex also fell for Sonny’s step-daughter, Josslyn. They kept their relationship a secret so that Sonny wouldn’t punish Dex.

Dex also works security for Sonny when needed. He has been violent on occasion (such as against slimy reporter Felty) and also heroic (such as when he helped save Anna). Dex is a vet and also ran a gym for his friend, Chet.

He clearly stands up for the little guy and wants to be a hero, but he does a sleazy job for Michael and looks up to his mobster father. Both men are ethically compromised. Time will tell whether Dex can be the good guy that he wants to be for Josslyn.

TABYANA ALI (Trina) on GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Tabyana Ali as Trina Robinson. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Trina Robinson

Trina is a strong young woman who first came on the show as a teen who liked to party. She became good friends with Josslyn Jacks. Her mother, Portia, is a doctor. She was told that her father, Marcus Taggert, had died, but he faked his death in order to protect his family. Then she found out that Curtis, her mother’s fiancé, might be her real father.

Trina is smart and a great student, but she’s had trouble in her young life. She had an attraction to young Spencer Cassadine, but Spencer’s evil girlfriend, Esme, saw her as a threat. She drugged Trina and made it look as if she streamed Cam and Josslyn’s first sexual encounter to the world. Trina almost went to jail because of Esme framing her. Spencer loves Trina, so he worked hard to prove what Esme did.

Trina worked in Ava’s art gallery for a time as an intern. She always tells the truth and is frequently hurt by friends and family who lie to her.

Victor Cassadine

Victor comes from a long line of rich, greedy, power-mad, evil Cassadines. It was revealed that Valentin is his son. The Cassadines are known for their treachery and cold-blooded ruthlessness, even to their own family. Victor spent some time in jail and then faked his death many times and has done many awful things to people in Port Charles. He came to town recently and pretended that he wanted to get to know his family, but he was really working to put his evil plan in motion. He plans to kill off most of the world in order to save the environment from over-population. He doesn’t care who gets in his way. He treats people like they’re disposable.

KATELYN MACMULLEN (Willow) on GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Katelyn MacMullen as Willow Tait. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Willow Tait

Willow is a sweet but very strong woman. She was raised by her adopted mother in a cult, never knowing that Nina was her real mother and that Silas was her father. The late Nelle is her sister. Her grandmother, Madeline, sold her and Nelle when they were babies so that she could keep comatose Nina’s fortune.

Despite having such a tragic childhood, Willow stays optimistic and kind. She was a teacher and now has her own children. Wiley is Nelle’s daughter, but Willow has raised her like her own after her first child died. Willow got leukemia in 2022 but married Michael and will probably recover.

Willow’s friends include Sasha and Brook Lynn.

His father, Marshall, came to town, and they reunited after years. Marshall had faked his own death because he got into some legal trouble and because he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia 40 years ago.

TJ is his nephew and Trina is probably his daughter. Although Curtis runs a nightclub, he still sometimes helps out local law enforcement or does PI work for friends. Curtis is a hero and all-around great guy.

Posted on April 24, 2023April 26, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

GENERAL HOSPITAL – ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Maura West as Ava Jerome. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Ava Jerome

Ava came to town in 2013 with her daughter, Kiki. She was revealed to be part of the Jerome crime family, which had ruled Port Charles in the 80’s. Her brother, Julian, also came to town. Ava had a past with both Franco and Silas. She claimed that Franco was the father of Kiki. She’d had an affair with Silas while he was married to Nina, and he was the real father.

Ava was also a cold-blooded murderer when she first arrived, but they toned down that aspect of her character as time went on. Although she is still a strong person and a force to be reckoned with (especially when crossed), she’s no longer a murderer. She tries to be a good person most of the time and has long left the family business. She had a daughter, Avery, with town mobster Sonny.

Ava owns an art gallery and has friendships with some of the people in town, including Nina, Trina, and Austin. She has suffered a lot, including: the death of Kiki; having been burned in a terrible fire; losing boyfriend Morgan, losing her husband, Nikolas, who cheated on her, and the death of her brother, Julian.

Austin Gatlin-Holt

Austin (Roger Howarth) showed up in May, 2021. He was living in Pautauk, where he grew up, and found Maxie about to give birth in the nearby woods. He delivered her child and ended up moving to Port Charles. His parents are the late Jimmy Lee Holt and Charity Gatlin (characters from the show back in the 1980’s). Although he is a dedicated doctor, he’s a bit of a strange person – quirky – and is not entirely honest. He has used people when it suits his needs and can be a bit sleazy.

Austin has been revealed to be the grandson of Edward Quartermaine (Jimmy Lee was his illegitimate son) and tried to prove that he was an heir to part of the family fortune. In the meantime, Britt hired him at General Hospital.

He is good friends with Maxie, the late Britt, and Ava. He helped Ava cover up Nikolas’ near-death. His family in Pautauk is involved with the mob. He is threatened by his cousin Mason. Not much else is known about him so far.

Y&R Character Description – Lily Winters

Posted on August 5, 2020August 7, 2020 by Christine

Lily Winters

Lily

Played By Christel Adnana Khalil
Written By Darlene
on April 21, 2013

When Drucilla Winters gave birth to Lily, she let her husband, Neil, believe he was the father. Neil’s brother, Malcolm Winters took advantage of Drucilla while she was under the influence. She thought she was making love to Neil. She became pregnant and Neil never questioned whether or not he was Lily’s father. Malcolm and Drucilla decided to keep her true paternity a secret. The marriage fell apart anyway and Drucilla took her young daughter to Paris.

Several years later, Drucilla sent Lily back to Genoa City, where Neil had become an alcoholic. At first, Lily hated Genoa City until she met a kindred spirit, Colleen Carlton. The two girls became very close and Neil cleaned up his act, so Lily adjusted to life in America.

As a teen, Lily tried online dating and met Kevin Fisher. Kevin was a possessive boyfriend and treated Lily badly. When Colleen tried to warn Lily, Kevin started a fire at Gina’s restaurant intending to kill Colleen, who was inside. Kevin was Lily’s first lover and she contracted Chlamydia.

Lily and Kevin’s best friend, Daniel Romalotti fell in love. They eloped after Lily found out that Malcolm was her biological father. On the paperwork, she listed Malcolm as her father. Later, she confronted Drucilla and Neil overheard the truth. Lily assured him that he would always be her dad, but the relationship between Neil and Malcolm never recovered. The marriage between Daniel and Lily also dissolved once Lily realized she couldn’t trust Daniel and his porn addiction.

Lily caught the eye of local bartender, Cane Ashby. Neil liked Cane as an employee, but he didn’t approve of a relationship between his little girl and a much older man. Lily and Cane fought their attraction for each other for awhile but they ultimately gave in.

Lily and Cane broke up briefly because it was thought that he was the father of Chloe Mitchell’s baby, Cordelia. Billy came forward as the father and Chloe admitted that she and Cane had never actually had sex, she had drugged him and told him they had sex. Lily and Cane reconciled and they were married.

Cane had done some lying of his own. He had everyone believing he was the real Chancellor heir, Phillip Chancellor, III. The real Phillip showed up and the whole truth was uncovered. Lily forgave Cane for this lie. He continued to lie throughout their marriage and she continued to forgive him, even after he allowed her to believe he was killed and he was haunting her.

Lily won a war against cancer, but was unable to conceive. Mackenzie Browning, granddaughter of Katherine Chancellor, agreed to be a surrogate. She gave birth to twins Matilda (Matty) and Charlie.

Even though Lily has given him no reason to doubt her loyalty to him, Cane is jealous and possessive. He insists Lily is too kind-hearted to see peoples’ true intentions.

Lily is, in fact, a very loyal wife and friend. She loves her children very much as well as her job and she does a good job of juggling the two. While she does tend to see only the good in people, she is a smart and savvy woman who can have it all in spite of all the tragedy she’s endured.

For a short time, Esther worked for Nina after being lured away with promises of a better dress code and equal treatment. Esther soon found out that working for Katherine wasn’t as bad as she thought, and she returned to the Chancellor estate.

Tired of being lonely, Esther had a one-night stand with Tiny and became pregnant. She named the baby Kate and asked Katherine to be Kate’s godmother. As a child, Kate was sent off to school.

Again having the need for male companionship, Esther began dating Norman Peterson. She pretended to be the lady of the Chancellor estate. Not wanting to embarrass Esther, Katherine and her husband Rex played along. Rex caught Norman trying to steal from Katherine and confronted him, who was actually an ex-con. Rex was shot in the process.

Proving that Esther is quick to trust and has bad luck with men, she, once again, became involved with a man who only wanted to get his hands on the Chancellor fortune. Katherine was kidnapped and presumed dead, leaving Esther financially secure. Esther and Roger were married, but he turned out to be married to someone else. Katherine was reunited with her family.

When the time came for the folks at the Chancellor estate to meet Cane’s new bride-to-be, Esther was surprised to see it was her daughter, Kate, who was now going by the name Chloe. Chloe had a daughter she named Cordelia.

Realizing Esther’s worth, Katherine promoted her from housekeeper to personal assistant, leaving Esther plenty of time to spend with her granddaughter.

Y&R Character Description – Nikki Newman

Posted on August 5, 2020August 7, 2020 by Christine

Nicole “Nikki” Newman

Written By Darlene
on August 15, 2013

Nikki Newman loves her family and friends above everything else. She often puts their needs ahead of her own. Victor is the love of her life and, though they tend to hurt, hate, and leave each other, they belong together and always find their ways back. Nikki often offers Victor good advice, but he seldom takes it.

Nikki is married to Victor. They have two children together, Nicholas and Victoria. Nikki is also stepmother to Adam and Abby. She is grandmother to the late Cassie Newman, Noah Newman, Summer Newman, Faith Newman, Reed Helstrom, and Johnny Abbott.

Nikki is a recovering alcoholic. Her sponsor is also her best friend, Katherine Chancellor. Nikki is sponsor to Neil Winters who, in turn, sponsors Nikki’s friend and former husband, Jack Abbott. Nikki struggles with her alcoholism when terrible things happen to her or her family, but Victor always comes to the rescue, though he still keeps alcohol readily available and out in the open in his home.

Nikki is a loyal friend and she usually takes the high road in moral decisions. As long as your name isn’t Adam or Sharon and as long as you aren’t threatening her family, Nikki always has a kind word. She is a class act. Hard to believe she started out as a stripper.

Nicholas Newman

Nick

Nicholas Newman
Played By Josh Morrow
Written By Darlene
on May 22, 2013

Nicholas “Nick” Newman spent most of his life trying to make his father, business mogul Victor Newman, proud; but it always seemed that Victor held the bar higher for his son than his daughters, Victoria and Abby. Nick realized that he would never make Victor proud and he no longer cared. He ventured out on his own and discovered his own passion, which had nothing to do with business. Nick is the owner of Genoa City’s newest nightclub, “The Underground.”

Nick is not only flaky in his professional life but also in matters of the heart. He married his first love, Sharon, but strayed more than once. When he found himself expecting a child with his mistress, Phyllis Summers, he divorced Sharon and married Phyllis. He cheated on Phyllis with Sharon, and they divorced. He planned to marry Sharon again, but she chose his brother, Adam. Nick went back to Phyllis but decided he didn’t want to play her games, so he left her and hooked up with her sister, Avery. It seems Nick may not have inherited his father’s head for business but they both have wandering hearts.

Nick would do anything to protect his family. In spite of all the hearts he breaks, he feels the need to protect the women in his life, not the least of which is Summer, the child he conceived out of wedlock with Phyllis. Summer, who became a beautiful young woman, is prone to mischief and makes foolish decisions in spite of warnings from family and friends. This could be because Nick refuses to let her grow up.

Though Nick can be callous and hypocritical at times, he has a way of making people love him and forget all the horrible things he’s done. After all, compared to his brother, Adam, in many ways Nick is a saint.

Lauren

Lauren Fenmore Baldwin
Played By Tracey E. Bregman
Written By Darlene
on 5/2/14

Lauren Fenmore started out as a young singer in a band with Danny Romalotti. Besides singing, her favorite thing to do was terrorize poor Traci Abbott. This went on for years until she met local private detective Paul Williams. They fell in love and married, but their marriage was full of turmoil. Later, they divorced and Lauren married a doctor named Scott Granger. They had a baby together, but a psychotic nurse named Sheila Carter switched the babies and took little Scotty as her own. Lauren eventually reclaimed her son; but, through the years, Sheila has found ways to cause havoc in Lauren’s life.

Lauren is married to attorney Michael Baldwin, making her the sister-in-law of Kevin Fisher and daughter-in-law of Gloria Bardwell. Lauren and Michael have a son together, Fenmore. Lauren owns the upscale department store, Fenmore’s, along with her sister Jill. She is friends with most people in town and is very well liked and respected. She seldom gets herself into trouble like her younger self did. She is often the voice of reason when friends or family aren’t thinking clearly.

Lauren and Michael may seem like a couple that could live through anything, and they have for the most part. Sheila has been gone for several years now, but who knows what kind of mayhem can come from her legacy?

Parents: Neil Fenmore and Joannna Manning, Siblings: Jill Abbott (paternal half-sister), Children: Scott Grainger Jr., Dylan Fenmore (legal, deceased), Fenmore Baldwin, Nieces and Nephews: Phillip Chancellor III, Billy Abbott, Great Nieces and Nephews: Delia, Johnny and Katie Abbott, Philip “Chance” Chancellor IV

Kyle Abbott

Kyle

In recent years, Kyle has had two love interests, Summer and Lola. When Lola needed a kidney transplant, Kyle learned that Summer was a match. He offered to marry Summer in exchange for her kidney, with an agreement to stay married for a period of one year. However, Kyle broke things off and went back to Lola shortly after she made a full recovery. Kyle married Lola, but less than a year later, he admitted that he made a mistake and that Summer was the woman for him. When it comes to his professional life, Kyle is more sure of what he wants. He’s worked his way up the ranks at Jabot and he wants to run a company some day. He is not above betraying his relatives in pursuit of that goal; he teamed up with Victor once to take Jabot from Jack, and when Billy was CEO, Kyle exploited Billy’s gambling addiction in hopes of getting him fired. It’s been a long time since Kyle did anything too underhanded, so those days might be behind him.

Y&R Character Description – Kevin Fisher

Posted on July 28, 2020August 7, 2020 by Christine

Kevin Fisher

Kevin

Written By Darlene
on March 13, 2013

We met Kevin when he was an internet predator and he gave Lily Winters Chlamydia. He tried to kill Colleen Carlton. Later, he threatened Lauren Fenmore. Still, he was forgiven by most people and became a decent citizen and business owner.

Kevin grew up in an abusive home. His father, Terrible Tom Fisher, used to lock him in the closet. Kevin is now claustrophobic. Long after he changed for the better, a man named Clint took advantage of Kevin’s state of mind and forced him to rob banks dressed as a chipmunk, something Kevin is reminded of often by some Genoa City citizens like Billy Abbott.

Kevin is married to Chloe Mitchell Fisher, who has made some pretty outrageous mistakes herself. It is this unpredictable behavior that makes them so interesting. One or both of them is/are usually cooking up some sort of scheme.

Like most people in Genoa City who’ve turned their lives around, Kevin is close to Katherine Chancellor, whose maid, Esther, is Kevin’s mother-in-law.

Michael Baldwin is Kevin’s brother. He understands Kevin and why he does the things he does, because Michael witnessed the abuse Kevin endured growing up and he, himself, turned his life around after spending some time in prison.

Kevin Fisher is a young man who has walked the line between right and wrong his entire life. There is something about him, though, that makes us root for him. Like Kevin says, maybe he brings out the chipmunk in all of us.

Parents: Tom Fisher and Gloria Baldwin
Spouse: Chloe Mitchell
