If you have been a General Hospital fans since the 1980s and 1990s, you’ll definitely remember the name of the man who popped up on Holly’s computer screen yesterday. If you are sort of a newbie to GH, here is a little history lesson:

Sean Donnelly was best friends with Robert Scorpio. Together the two worked at the World Security Bureau and Sean was Robert’s boss. Sean and Robert were such good friends that Anna and Robert chose Sean has Robin’s God Father.

Sean had a personal mission to take down Cesar Faison, as Faison poisoned his wife Tiffany, leaving her in a comatose state. Sean then joined forces with Anna and Robert to take Faison down and get the cure Faison was holding for Tiffany.

Sean’s character left the show after being send away to Boston to recover from a  gunshot wound as a result of a shootout. At the time, Sean was police commissioner and his mission was to take down crime Lord, Frank Smith. After all was said and done, he and his pregnant wife Tiffany left together so he could recuperate. Sean and Tiffany haven’t been seen around Port Charles since.
