Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald is a fictional character on the NBC/DirecTV soap opera Passions. The youngest son of the once-missing Martin Fitzgerald and Mexican immigrant Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald, the character as played by Jesse Metcalfe (July 5, 1999 - July 26, 2004) was caught in a love triangle with true love Charity Standish and her scheming, manipulative cousin, and his best friend, Kay Bennett. After being written off-canvas for a year and a half, the character returned on February 8, 2006 played by Adrian Bellani; Miguel came to realize that Kay, not Charity, was his true love, and engaged in a rivalry with Kay's fiancé, and later husband, Fox Crane. After a three month hiatus from September to December 2007, while the character was said to have been kidnapped by the forces of darkness and held prisoner in Hell, Blair Redford replaced Bellani on December 24, 2007.[1]
[edit] Character history
Miguel grew up as the second youngest of five children in an Irish-Mexican family. One of his closest friends growing up was local tomboy Kay Bennett, who secretly had feelings for him and wanted to be his girlfriend. However, in the summer of 1999, Miguel met the mysterious Charity Standish and it was love at first sight, much to Kay's dislike.
Over the next five years, Kay schemed and plotted to take down Charity and have Miguel all to herself. She even succeeded in getting pregnant with Miguel's child by raping him and giving birth to a baby girl, Maria, in July 2003. But this wasn't enough to land Miguel for good, as Charity left town a year later, and Miguel soon followed after her, leaving Kay as a single mother.
Just as Kay finally started to get over Miguel and became engaged to Fox Crane, Miguel returned to town in 2006 at the request of Valerie Davis, who was working with Ivy Winthrop to break up Fox and Kay. Miguel announced that he had decided to give up on his search for Charity and would stay in Harmony so that Maria would have her father back in her life. And although Kay wouldn't admit it out loud, her feelings for Miguel were returning. The relationship between Miguel and Kay took another twist when Miguel fell off a fishing boat and drowned, but was brought back to life by a mysterious, young woman named Siren, who was actually a mermaid created by Endora Lenox, Fox's half-sister. Siren was instantly in love with Miguel, and Miguel didn't mind having a relationship with the attractive and playful Siren. But when Miguel and Kay were unexpectedly electrocuted, Kay got amnesia and believed she was engaged to Miguel. She had no idea that Fox was her fiancee. This development infuriated Fox and Siren, but Miguel decided to play along, believing it would help Kay bring her memory back.
Eventually, Kay got her memory back, which caused Miguel to discover how much he actually loved Kay. Recently, Siren attempted to put Miguel under the mermaid's curse. This was prevented when Kay told Miguel she loved him, breaking him out of the trance. Soon afterwards, Endora zapped Siren into a fish tank after Fox complained that she complicated his relationship with Kay. Miguel is sure that Kay has feelings for him, and he finally won her over Fox. Miguel and Kay now have plans of getting married and getting their own home. Fox who couldn't get over the fact that Kay was leaving him for Miguel so he faked an illness so Kay will feel sorry for him and stay with him which did end up happening even leading to their marriage happening.Miguel who began having suspicions that Fox's illness was fake but failing to prove it into Kay's eyes. Fox even managed to fake a hit and run and end up blaming Miguel for the accident (with the help of his father Julian and Spike). Eventually, Fox's lies were exposed, and Kay separated from Fox.
When the forces of darkness came to kidnap Endora on September 7, 2007, Kay was forced to tell Miguel that she, Tabitha, and Endora are all witches. Miguel was shocked, but was determined to rescue Endora; however, his efforts only resulted in his own abduction. Eventually, he and Endora returned from Earth on Christmas Eve, where he found that Fox was dead and he and Kay were free to move on together.
