The introduction of Caleb Morley on Port Charles changed the trajectory of my television viewing experience. My gateway into the world of soap operas was the General Hospital spinoff, right around the time Port Charles was appealing to a younger audience.
The vampire craze of the mid-to-late 2000s, thanks to Twilight, hadn’t quite taken hold yet, but Port Charles knew what was coming. Cue the introduction of the seductive and undeniably charming Caleb, played to perfection by Michael Easton. He genuinely made 11-year-old me think: Do I want to be a vampire? When Easton crossed paths with Kelly Monaco‘s Livvie Locke, it was like a soap supernova.
