Ian Thornhart VS Kevin Collins
The dueling doctors have more in common than offices at General Hospital
Soaps in Depth - November 27, 2001



Kevin Collins is a buttoned-down, Oxford-educted shrink; Ian Thornhart, a renegade Irish M.D. who wears his emotions on his sleeve. While at first glance, it would seem that the only thing these two doctors have in common is their taste in women -- specifically, lovely sometime rivals Lucy and Eve -- Kevin and Ian are actually a lot more alike than either of them would care to admit. Consider the facts:

IAN:

KEVIN:

Tried to break Kevin's jaw for digging into his past. Harbored, then wed, immigrant Arianna, even though he still carried a torch for past-life flame Eve. Comforted by ghostly sightings of his saintly sister, Granya. Became obsessed with learning the identity of the "bue dot" killer. Kidnapped by ailing enemy Harris, who was in need of healing. Comforted by Lucy when his child was taken. Struck in the shoulder by an arrow meant for angry vampire Caleb.

Had a mental break with reality when memories resurfaced from his past. Married Eve, even though he still harbored feelings for former flame Lucy. Haunted by disturbing visions of his twisted twin, Ryan. Became obsessed with finding the General Homicide killer. Treated Lucky, who was kidnapped by family foe, Helena. Comforted Lucy when her child was taken. Took a knife in the chest from vengeful villain Cooper.
