By the way, Michael Easton has been part of the ABC soap opera family since 2001. His first stint on daytime TV was as Tanner Scofield on Days of Our Lives from 1991-92. However, his big break came when he portrayed the vampire Caleb Morley on the General Hospital spinoff Port Charles from 2001-03. Back in 2012, the ex-GH actor brought his One Life to Live character, John McBain, to the ABC soap.
Due to legal issues, he then came back as Silas Clay, the brother of his Port Charles character Stephen Clay.
