[edit] Character History
In 1983, Stavros was originally introduced as the cousin of the late Mikkos Cassadine, who tried to freeze the world with a weather machine, but in 1996 his history was retconned so that he was the firstborn son of Mikkos and his evil wife 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 from afar and then return to Greece. Obsessed with Laura (whom he called Lasha), Stavros followed her and was believed to have died at General Hospital shortly after falling down a flight of stairs while attempting to "reclaim" his wife. 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. After his apparent death, Stavros continued to "appear" to his son Nikolas in 2002 and in an A Christmas Carol dream of Luke Spencer's in 2003.
