I never was a huge fan of Alan, but it is definitely sad to see him go. He is an anchor on General Hospital. He was married to Monica and had four children: Jason, AJ, Emily, and Skye. He had a sister, Tracey and brother, Justus. His parents were Lila and Edward.
Jason and Edward were at odds the last couple years. I found it pretty sad when Jason ran out of time to tell his father that he loved him. But Jason knows in his heart his father knows!
