Stavros Cassadine was a fictional character on the American soap opera General Hospital. John Martinuzzi was the first actor to play the evil Cassadine prince but it's Robert Kelker-Kelly that viewers know best.

Stavros was the eldest son of Mikkos Cassadine, who tried to freeze the world with a weather machine, and evil Helena Cassadine. He abducted Laura Spencer, told her Luke Spencer was dead and persuaded her to marry him. He fathered her son Nikolas Cassadine. When Laura learned that Luke was alive, she returned to Port Charles, intending to just look at him and then go away. Stavros followed her and was presumed killed during a fight with Luke at General Hospital. However, years later it was revealed that his mother Helena Cassadine arranged to have him placed in suspended animation in a secret room underneath General Hospital. Stavros was revived and came back for another round of murder (Chloe Morgan, who'd discovered he was not "Lucien Cane" as he'd been claiming) and mayhem before he was again presumed killed in another fight with Luke---falling into a bottomless pit and laughing all the way down.
