[edit] History
Hugh came to Llanview as the new Assistant District Attorney, working closely with both the district attorney's office and the police. Not long after he arrived, Hugh was out with one of the many leggy models he often had on his arm when he ran into Marcie Walsh, who was being ridiculed by other writers after The Killing Club debacle, and gave up his evening to take the drunken Marcie home, where she then threw up on his shoes. This began an unusual friendship between the playboy Hugh and writer Marcie, much to the annoyance of her ex-boyfriend Michael. Hugh realized that Marcie had started writing again to herself, but was afraid to share it with the world, so he secretly copied her writings onto a disk and shopped it around for her, which got her back into writing again when it was accepted, and luckily Marcie wasn't too angry. It wasn't long before the friendship turned into something more, and Hugh and Marcie went on their first official date.
Hugh and Marcie didn't last long, as she resumed her relationship with Michael, and Hugh was thrown into the seat of being the temporary district attorney after Nora's hospitalization. His first big case was the Todd Manning trial, where Hugh was determined to see Todd pay for his crimes, in part because he himself had been adopted and he couldn't rationalize to himself why anyone would want to kill a child. His belief in Todd's guilt never wavered, and he felt that justice was truly served when Todd was convicted. When it was discovered that Todd was truly innocent, Hugh immediately apologized to him for having been the one to put him in prison, even though he was only leading the trail of the evidence.
Hugh then discovered that Spencer Truman and Paige Miller are his biological parents. It appeared that Hugh wanted him to go free when at Spencer's bail hearing, Hugh agreed to offer him a $1 million bail. However, he and John McBain had allowed this to happen in the hopes Truman would lead them to the gun that he used to kill John's father, Thomas McBain.
Sadly, Hugh met a tragic and disturbing end in September 2006 when he was killed in a car accident, but, in a case of mistaken identity, was thought to have survived and was bandaged for his burns. In reality, it was John (who had also been in the accident) under the bandages while Hugh was buried in what everyone thought was John's grave.
