Quotes:

Rafe: There's not another face in all the world that... and for weeks it just kept calling out to me, shining like some kind of light in the darkness. The first time I saw your face... or the first time I remember anyway... it was like there was something in me sleeping that was waking up. And I just... I had to... I wasn't thinking, not for a second. I just did what I thought was right and that's why I kissed you. Not to bring you back, but to kind of bring me back to life.
Alison: You were my life.
Rafe: Were?
Alison: Don't you see that?

One of the weirdest soaps since "Dark Shadows"

When this GENERAL HOSPITAL spin off first hit the airwaves in the summer 1997, it had originally centered around a new group of young interns living, loving, and working at General Hospital. To inspire GH viewers to watch this show, longtime GH characters Scotty Baldwin, Lucy Coe and Kevin Collins crossed over to PC. About four years later, the format switched to story arcs, and vampires, angels, demons, and werewolves abounded. Lucy Coe, one of the long-running characters on GH became a vampire slayer on this show. One of the characters on this show was Livvie Locke, who was the long-lost daughter of Kevin Collins. Alison Barrington, granddaughter of Port Charles' society maven Amanda Barrington was also a presence here. Unfortunately, this show was cancelled way before its time.
