Character SketchAlejandro (Alex) Garcia first appeared on GH in the early 1990s as a detective in the Port Charles Police Department. His assignment at that time was tracking down missing children (in particular Stone/Mike, Jagger's brother.) He was soon promoted to being Sean Donely's right hand man. This was back when Garcia was played by George Alvarez. Later Garcia became a little smitten with Sonny Corinthos' wife, Lily. Probably because Lily was the only one who pronounced his first name correctly. When she died he was a little devastated. He left town, but returned later with little to do.In December 1999, Alex Garcia was recast with Eddie Velez in the role. He has been appearing primarily on Port Charles, but also on General Hospital. On PC he's on the spot whenevre a crime is committed, and he's pretty good at making arrests. He's arrested Lucy, Jack, Arianna, Ian, Jamal, Frank, and wanted to arrest more than that. Unfortunately they're usually out on bail or technicalities within twenty-four hours. On GH he's mostly seen in the Police Deparment, doing routine police tasks. He was the first person to find Sonny and Company after the Christmas Eve Massacre. During Port Charles Fate Garcia arrested Lucy for changing the DNA results to make it look like Eve and Ian were dead. Mac let her go. Frankie "Dishpan" Santana first appeared on the A-Team during the fifth season 1986/1987. The nickname had something to do with his profession as a special-effects expert. Frankie was working on one of Hannibal's monster movies. He was also a mole for Hunt Stockwell (He was being blackmailed. Stockwell was withholding disability checks for Frankie's father). Frankie happily gave bad advice on any subject and talked too much at inopportune moments. After the team was captured by Stockwell, Frankie was forced to join the team.
