Background[]
Ryan and his twin brother Kevin were born to Victor Collins and Melanie Chamberlain. Their mother, Melanie, was abusive to Ryan and one night, she abused Kevin thinking he was Ryan. Kevin told their father about this, who took Kevin with him and left Ryan behind. Ryan eventually killed his abusive mother.
Ryan got a job at GH and hid his mentally unstable behavior for quite some time. His twin brother Kevin came to town in hopes to rehabilitate his brother but Ryan faked his progress and used his twin to escape the asylum he was sent to. When Ryan kidnapped Felicia Scorpio's daughter Georgie, Kevin helped Mac and Felicia track down his psychotic twin to rescue Georgie. Eventually, after a fight between Ryan and Kevin in a funhouse, Ryan was presumed dead in an explosion. He was later replaced by Jerry Jacks aka "James Craig" which lead to the Metro Court Hotel Hostage Crisis 12 years later in 2007 wanting revenge for Ryan Chamberlain which Jerry would have had him as a liable asset.
In August 2018, Ryan was revealed to be alive and had been in Ferncliff since Kevin had been hiding him from the authorities 11 years after the Metro Court Hotel Hostage Crisis. On August 28, Ryan knocked Kevin out and switched places with him. While Kevin was stuck in Ferncliff, Ryan impersonated Kevin for months and went on a new murder spree. In March 2019, Ryan was finally exposed as the killer as the real Kevin was rescued. Ryan threw himself off a footbridge in Niagara Falls to evade police capture.
Kevin later revealed to Laura that the DVX had called him and told him that an operative lost touch with all reality and became a problem for them and they would eliminate him unless he took him off their hands. Kevin was shocked to learn the operative was his twin brother Ryan, so he hid him at Ferncliff and was trying to help him since May 2018 but Ryan gained the upper hand and switched places with him in August.
In May 2019, Ryan was revealed to be alive and he returned to Port Charles for Ava Jerome, who planned to kill him since he killed her daughter, Kiki. Although he was arrested before she could shoot him to death, she did stab him and he was taken to GH where his kidney was taken from him and donated to Jordan Ashford. He was later taken to Pentonville for his crimes.
On March 9, 2022; it was revealed that Ryan is Esme Prince's father. On December 9, 2022, it's revealed he conceived Esme with his ex-lover Heather Webber, whom he knew as "Hazel" and Heather knew Ryan as "Richard".
On October 11, 2022; it was revealed that Ryan is about to become a grandfather as his daughter Esme is pregnant with her first child from her one-night stand with her then-boyfriend Spencer Cassadine's father Nikolas Cassadine. Esme was secretly being lock up in a storage room in the North Tower of Wyndemere by Nikolas with the help of Elizabeth Baldwin as Esme's nurse. Nikolas plans to send Esme to Cassadine Island after she gives birth. On New Years Eve 2022, his daughter Esme set fire to the storage room using a match in order to escape Nikolas, then she intentionally falls off the parapet into the ocean. Esme and her unborn baby were found by Spencer and Trina Robinson at the Haunted Star and was taken to the Hospital, where she was found to have hypothermia and has suffered from memory loss, which his brother Kevin confirmed. He is currently unaware that his daughter Esme was remanded to Spring Ridge until her upcoming trial for revenge porn against Cameron Webber and Josslyn Jacks. After seeing Heather and Esme together, Heather confronts him about knowing that Nikolas is the baby's father and he is trying to steal their grandchild from them. Heather tells Ryan about the visit from Dante Falconeri and Sam McCall about finding Esme's nanny Maggie Fitzgerald, who knows Ryan, and it's time for them to break out of Spring Ridge and they'll bring Esme with them.
After the final showdown with Ava and Felicia at Wyndermere, he was shot and killed by Mac in the defense of Ava, while his daughter Esme gave birth to her son in the Wyndermere Castle with the help of his brother Kevin, Laura, and the paramedics, while Nikolas is presumed dead prior to the baby birth.
Storylines[]
Ryan Chamberlain was a pediatrician who began working at General Hospital in 1992, but it is revealed that he has been hiding his mentally unstable behavior for some time.
Felicia Jones, while living in Texas, knew him as "Todd Wilson" and saw him murder his wife Gloria. She fled town back to Port Charles with Maxie in May of 1992, and on the day she arrived was attacked outside the Brownstone. A few days later she would wake up with amnesia. When she was introduced to Ryan aka Todd she didn't remember him.
Ryan becomes obsessed with Felicia, who gets her memory back and is arrested for attempted murder after he traps her in a cabin and she attacks him in self-defense.
Ryan crashes Felicia and Mac Scorpio's wedding with a bomb, but is sent to an asylum. After escaping with the help of his counselor Connie Cooper, he kills her, kidnaps Georgie Jones and dies in a funhouse explosion after a face-to-face with his brother Kevin.
Ryan continued to appear to Kevin and taunt him over the years. It was revealed that as children, Ryan was sexually abused by their mother. One night, she abuses Kevin, thinking it was Ryan. When Kevin tells their father, he takes Kevin and leaves Ryan behind. Ryan would eventually kill his mother.
Nearly 12 years later, former Port Charles resident Jerry Jacks takes the Metro Court Hotel hostage in revenge for Ryan Chamberlain in February 2007 before Ryan was found out to be alive. It was him who was communicating via morse code to Carly when she was a patient there 11 years later.
23 years later, Ryan was revealed to be alive in Port Charles and is being locked up in Ferncliff by his brother Kevin 11 years after the Metro Court Hotel hostage crisis by former Port Charles resident Jerry Jacks who could've been Ryan's accomplice and after the deaths of Nathan West and Cesar Faison respectively which triggered the earthquake one month later because he would've watched Robin Scorpio-Drake like a hawk if he returned earlier. On August 28, 2018; Ryan escaped from his restraints and attacked his brother. He took Kevin's clothes and placed his restraints on him. He fooled the Ferncliff staff and made his way to General Hospital where everyone was fooled into believing he was Dr. Kevin Collins. After meeting Jerry's former accomplice Franco Baldwin and learning of his history, he has begun to like him as he reminds him a lot of himself as Ryan attempts to pick up where the late Cesar Faison left off because Ryan needed to wait until at least Nathan is dead before becoming active again.
On Halloween, Ryan murdered Ferncliff nurse Mary Pat Ingles by stabbing her to death and placed her decapitated head into an apple bobbing barrel for Carly to find after the imprisonment of Michael Carson and Shawn Phillips by the New York State Police. The rest of the corpse was placed in Ava's art gallery with a jack o lantern as its head. Ryan (as Kevin) also separated from Laura, the woman the real Kevin is married to. On November 21, 2018; Ryan finds Ava and Nina fighting in Ava's art gallery and breaks it up. He then tells Ava that he has feelings for her and they kiss and Laura walks in and sees them kissing.
On November 26; Ryan murdered Ava's daughter Kiki Jerome by stabbing her to death in her apartment and then placed her corpse inside the Haunted Star, where it was found by newlyweds Curtis and Jordan Ashford. Ryan also hid the murder weapon in the apartment of Kiki's boyfriend, Dr. Griffin Munro, who is subsequently arrested after the knife is uncovered. However, Griffin is soon released as the PCPD suspects that the same person killed both Kiki and Mary Pat. Meanwhile, Ryan had began sleeping with Ava since the day he murdered Kiki and even stopped Ava from killing Griffin at the PCPD.
On New Year's Eve, Ryan murdered film producer Peyton Mills who was producing a documentary about him and stashed his body in the balcony of the Metro Court before celebrating the new year with Ava.
On January 21, 2019; Ryan stabs Lulu Spencer-Falconeri in her office after she gets too close to figuring out that he is actually not Kevin. He does not kill her and she gets away due to him suddenly going blind. Lulu is rushed to GH and Ava takes Ryan there too where he is revealed to have been infected with the same virus which had rendered Anna Devane temporarily blind. After his sight is restored, Ryan tries to finish off Lulu in her hospital room, but had to leave when Laura came in. After Lulu says she wants to remember what happened, Ryan convinces Lulu to let him Hypnotize her so she can regain her memory of who tried to kill her. He manipulates her memory to believe that it was Franco stabbed her. Franco is subsequently arrested and charged by the PCPD for Lulu's stabbing and the triple murder.
On February 18, Laura discovers Kevin in his cell at Ferncliff, prompting Ryan to drug her from behind and trap her in the basement alongside Kevin, who is still blinded by the virus Ryan had been cured for. On February 20, after asserting his innocence for while, Franco surprisingly pleads guilty to all charges as part of Jordan's secret plan to flush out the real killer. An enraged Ryan then became engaged to Ava despite her doubts and confronted Franco at Ferncliff about why he pled guilty. Franco unwillingly reveals Jordan's plan to him, but Ryan tells him that Jordan is in critical condition after a car accident and then stabs him in the stomach. After revealing his true identity as Ryan the serial killer, Ryan prepared to finish Franco off and stage his death as a self-defensive act, but a nurse arrived and Ryan asked her to get help. As she left, Franco attacked Ryan and escaped the cell before shutting the door on Ryan. However, the nurse returned to free Ryan, who soon put Ferncliff under lock-down. Franco had already escaped the facility and told everyone that Ryan was alive and the killer before being treated for his wound.
On March 1, Ryan and Ava planned to get married and flee to Canada, a plan which was denounced by Mac, Felicia, and Carly. As Ryan went to the basement parking lot of GH to check on his box of drivers' licences in the trunk of his car, Carly appeared behind him, wanting to confront him about Ryan's alias, Todd Wilson, used to identify the patient she talked morse code with long ago (actually Ryan). Ryan knocked Carly unconscious and locked her in the trunk before Felicia confronted him about his engagement to Ava. Ryan shut down Felicia and then drove Ava to a cabin en route to Canada. Unbeknownst to him, Kevin and Laura had escaped from Ferncliff and the latter told everyone that Franco is right about Ryan being alive the killer.
On March 6, once they reached the motel, Ryan and Ava slept together again and showered, but while Ryan was showering, Ava went to look for her shoes in the car and accidentally discovered Carly in the trunk. After a brief encounter with Cameron Spencer, Ryan appeared behind Ava and told her that the gagged up Carly was her wedding present, confusing her to the point that 'Kevin' is having another mental breakdown. Ryan later dumps Carly off at the bottom of a bridge and leaves her to die before returning to the motel and declaring to Ava that he's desperate to marry her.
Ryan and Ava leave the motel and rush over to a nearby crossing bridge leading to Canada, but Ava stops and demands Ryan to call 9-1-1 to ensure Carly's safety. However; Ryan forcefully persuades her into believing that they can run away into a world of paradise and as they leave, Jason Morgan arrives and shoots Ryan in the back of the shoulder before telling Ava to move out of the way because Ryan reminds Jason of Faison and Jerry combined. Laura arrives moments later and tries to tell Ava that her fiancee is not Kevin but Ryan and that the real Kevin is back at GH. Jason fires a warning shot and threatens to finish Ryan, who tells him that he will never know what happened to Carly if he kills him now. Meanwhile, Ava continues to believe that 'Kevin' is having another nervous breakdown and is told by Ryan to not believe Laura since she wants them to be separated. As police approach their location, Ryan grabs Ava, profoundly declares his love for her, and throws her and himself off the bridge. Jason is able to catch Ava while Ryan falls into the river below to his presumed death. Laura eventually tells Ava the whole truth, leaving her emotionally destroyed, and Jason rescues Carly.
On October 1, 2020; Ava received a collect call from Ryan, who wanted her to visit him at Pentonville to find out what he wanted. Ryan warned her that there would be dire consequences if she doesn't, so she eventually went to see him despite Julian and Nikolas Cassadine pleading with her not to.
On July 23 nearly five months later, it is revealed that the care facility he's in Spring Ridge where Alexis Davis comes face-to-face with him.
On December 9, 2022; it was revealed that years ago, Ryan had a relationship with Heather Webber under their aliases "Richard" and "Hazel", when they conceived their only daughter Esme Prince, whom Heather gave up for adoption. Years later Ryan found out about their daughter's existence through his keepsakes that Heather stole from him and Ryan later confronted Heather in his room at Spring Ridge about her leaving him and giving their daughter up for adoption. Ryan is aware, but Heather is unaware that they are about to become grandparents to their daughter Esme's unborn child from Esme's one-night stand with her former boyfriend Spencer Cassadine's father Nikolas Cassadine. Nikolas plans to send Esme to Cassadine Island after she gives birth. Unfortunately, on New Years Eve 2022, his daughter Esme set fire to the storage room in order to escape Nikolas, then she intentionally falls off the parapet into the ocean. Esme and her unborn baby were found by Spencer and Trina Robinson on the Haunted Star and she was taken to the hospital, where she was found to have hypothermia. Upon waking up, she claims she does not remember who she was and about her pregnancy. Later, Ryan informed Heather about their daughter's pregnancy and Heather became excited as this is her first grandchild for her, because both her sons Steven Lars and Franco didn't have children of their own. Also, she wanted to be there for Esme as she gave birth to her child. Ryan told her that it would not be impossible for her. Ryan and Heather were unaware that Esme suffered memory loss after falling into the ocean. They started to begin plans for themselves, Esme, the baby and possibly Ava, in Ryan's case. Ryan is now aware that Esme is currently being held in Spring Ridge until her upcoming trial for the revenge porn against Cameron Webber and Josslyn Jacks.
On February 17, 2023; Dante Falconeri and Sam McCall track down Maggie Fitzgerald in England. As the former nanny of Esme Prince and the couple wanted to learn more about Esme's background, especially since she has amnesia and has committed multiple felonies. They are shocked when Maggie reveals that Ryan is Esme's father, as Ryan's victim Connie Cooper's brooch was pinned to the blanket that swaddled the newborn Esme when she was given to the nuns for adoption. Maggie and Esme were able to trace it back to Connie, and then to Ryan.
On a chaotic Valentine's Day; Ryan reveals to Esme that he's her father and with Heather, they drag Esme along on their escape. The police mobilize to find them as they head to Wyndemere, where Ryan is pleased to find his two obsessions - Ava and Felicia. Heather hooks Austin, Esme escapes to the Island grounds, and Ryan follows. When he catches up to her, she admits that her water broke and she's in labor. Mac goes after them and in defense of Ava, kills Ryan on the grounds of Spoon Island. Esme gives birth to a boy in the castle, with the help of her uncle Kevin, and the baby's grandmother Laura.
On March 13, Ryan was mentioned in a conservation between Kevin, Mac, and Felicia as Kevin is still grieving for the loss of his brother. Felicia leaves Mac and Kevin to talk. Mac admits he’s been avoiding him, and he fears Kevin blames him for killing Ryan. Kevin says he doesn’t, he knows the burden Ryan has been on all of them. However, he still mourns the loss of his brother, but Mac has been his true brother. They embrace, and Felicia returns and is glad to see they’ve worked through things.Crimes Committed[]
