ERAS in JUDGMENT

2012-13

Easton made his GH debut as John McBain, the cop he played on ONE LIFE TO LIVE from 2003-12. Recalls the actor, "When ONE LIFE TO LIVE ended, we were all very saddened by that. It was sort of like the party broke up and everybody was, metaphorically speaking, wandering around aimlessly at 5 a.m., not knowing what to do with their lives." After relocating to California from New York, Executive Producer Frank Valentini, who had been his boss at OLTL, approached him (along with a handful of other Llanview expats) to reprise McBain on GH. "There were some things that I really loved about it. It didn't feel like a square peg in a round hole because they had done some things to make it  work that I thought were very interesting, like, one of the things they worked into it is that Anna had trained him at the FBI.”

Easton also had a ball reteaming with Kelly Monaco (Sam), who had been his leading lady when they played Caleb and Livvie on PORT CHARLES. “I thought it was interesting that they talked about [feeling like they shared a past] connection. I don’t know if they ever defined what that connection was, but I think that happens occasionally; you meet someone and it feels like you’ve met them before, or engaged with them or encountered them before. That was kind of fun.”

McBain’s OLTL-originating disdain for Roger Howarth’s Todd continued on GH, but, admits Easton, “It was always hard hating Todd. Trevor [St. John, ex-Todd/Victor; Tucker, Y&R] is my friend and Roger is my friend and it’s always hard to hate your friend!”
