Who Is General Hospital's Ethan Lovett?

Ethan was later arrested after Kiefer was run over by an unknown driver, but the charges were dropped when Kristina's mother, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), admitted she'd killed Kiefer. Ethan and Maya Ward (Annie Ilonzeh) soon got involved and the two went to Las Vegas with Luke and Tracy. The next day Ethan and Maya realized they'd got married, but they eventually divorced because she was cheating on him. 

Helena then ordered her daughter, Irina Cassadine (Alyshia Ochse), to kill Ethan. But Irina and Ethan started to fall for each other, so she went against her mother's orders — which resulted in Helena having her assassinated. Ethan held Irina while she was dying and almost got killed himself by Helena until Holly intervened, claiming he was Robert's son, not Luke's. Robert was distraught when he believed his daughter, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), was dead, so Luke went along with Holly's ruse to make Robert feel better. 

Ethan later skipped town so that Robert would believe Helena kidnapped him, and he and Holly left in pursuit. When Lulu was kidnapped, Luke and Laura went after her and found Ethan. When the trio caught up to her, Helena gave Laura the option to shoot Luke or Ethan. Laura wouldn't do it and gave the gun to Luke instead. A gunfight ensued, Helena and her minions were killed, and Luke told Ethan to escape and remain in hiding.
