[edit] Storyline
Logan Hayes is an ex-army buddy of Coop Barrett from Hollingsbeck, Texas. Soon after Logan's arrival in Port Charles, he and Coop became involved in a plan hatched by Maxie Jones to blackmail Scott Baldwin. The three had information that showed that Scott is the one who really killed Rick Webber almost five years ago and let ex-wife and Rick's daughter Laura Spencer take the fall for it. The three of them made it seem to Scott as though Laura's daughter, Lulu Spencer, was behind the scheme, although Logan's developing feelings for Lulu had him second-guessing the plan. Lulu discovered their racket when Scott confronted her.
Logan was shot in the leg during an ambush at The Cellar that targeted mobsters Jason Morgan and Sonny Corinthos. He was operated on at General Hospital and recovered. As a way to show his gratitude, Sonny paid Logan's hospital bills.
[edit] Logan and Lulu
Logan has already gotten on Luke Spencer's bad side because of his interactions with Lulu. Luke accused Maxie in March 2007 of hiring "spuds like this [Logan] to harass my daughter." Lulu saved Logan from harm in a shootout with Alcazar's men. In turn, he has tried to protect her on multiple occasions, defending her against threatening characters like Scott Baldwin.In early June 2007, Logan forcefully kissed Lulu in Sonny's coffee shop; she did not reciprocate, and he was forced to apologize profusely for his actions. Since the kiss, the two of them have grown closer. Lulu took care of Logan in July 2007 after he was shot, and during that time, she admitted that she cared about him. The two of them shared a mutual kiss. Although Scott and Tracy are currently trying to keep them apart, Lulu and Logan have began a forbidden relationship. In August 2007, the two went on a first date to Vista Point, which was sweet. For her birthday, Logan surprised her with balloons and a cake. The two made love together for the first time on August 21, 2007. Soon Logan called Lulu his girlfriend for the first time, and after a spat with the Quartermaines, Lulu moved in with Logan in early September 2007. Soon after, Maxie revealed the bet to Lulu, shattering her trust in Logan. After storming out of Logan's apartment, Lulu hitched a ride with Johnny Zacchara. When Lulu returned, she decided to forgive Logan, but it has not been a blissful reunion. Lulu and Logan struggled to learn to trust each other and appeared to slowly be drifting apart. Lulu soon suspected that Logan was the Text Message Killer, and she hit him in the head with a wrench during a struggle. He fell into a coma, and although he still expressed feelings for her when he woke, she ended their relationship.
[edit] Logan and Maxie
Not long after his arrival in Port Charles, Logan also became involved in a flirtation with his best friend's girlfriend, Maxie Jones. There was a clear spark from the moment they locked eyes. After seeing Lulu talking with Coop, Maxie made a bet with Logan: if he got Lulu into bed, she'd sleep with him. Logan agreed and promised to not tell Coop. The two shared a kiss in July 2007, and it seemed that Maxie was truly conflicted about her feelings for Logan. While Logan didn't seam conflicted about his feeling at all. He wanted Maxie. Bad. However, after Coop told her how much she meant to him, Maxie called off the bet. In August 2007, the bet seemed to be back on with no explanation why. Coop caught Logan and Maxie in a passionate embrace on August 13, 2007. When Maxie confronted him about "winning" the bet by sleeping with Lulu, however, Logan seemed to have a change of heart; he lied to Maxie, telling her that Lulu would never sleep with him, and called off the bet. Maxie, still fixated on getting Logan into bed, countered by threatening to tell Lulu about the bet if Logan didn't sleep with her. Logan and Maxie had sex on August 31, 2007. On September 18, 2007, after discovering that Lulu was living with Logan, Maxie revealed that she and Logan slept together; as a result, Lulu ended her relationship with Logan.
[edit] Paternity
Logan's paternity has become a central part of his storyline; Lulu suspected that his father was Scott Baldwin, who was revealed to have fathered a son in Texas around the time that Logan was born. Baldwin and Logan had a contentious relationship even before they were revealed to be father and son; Logan hates Baldwin not only because he needles Lulu but also because Baldwin ruined Logan's family with a bad business deal years before. On June 29, 2007, Logan confirmed that Baldwin is indeed his biological father, and on July 3, he admitted that he'd come to Port Charles to find him. Logan has known that Scott is his father since he was ten or twelve.
Scott continued to deny that Logan is his son but has agreed to take a DNA test to prove it. Logan had doubts about the test at first, but in early September 2007, he finally agreed to go through with it. The test came back on October 3, 2007 and proved that Scott and Logan are father and son; since then, Scott has begun to try to establish a relationship with his son.
[edit] Occupation
On April 24, 2007, Logan took over Coop's old job as a security guard at the Metro Court hotel, though he considers the position temporary.[4] Sonny Corinthos secured the job for him.
Logan has been pushing Sonny Corinthos to give him a job with his mob organization since he arrived in Port Charles. Logan's even gone so far as to try to extract information from Alcazar's men to try to impress Sonny, and he has gotten into some violent altercations as a result. Logan's continuing efforts to be hired by Sonny's organization have gotten him on the mobster's bad side. After learning that Lulu had been present for some of the violence involving Logan and Lorenzo Alcazar's organization, Sonny threatened that if anything happened to Lulu because of Logan, Logan would be killed. He also vowed never to hire Logan. However, after Logan provided Sonny with information that prevented him from being killed, as well as information about the whereabouts of James Craig, Sonny went back on his previous word and hired Logan to work with the organization. When Jason Morgan was arrested for Alcazar's murder, Logan was put "in charge" at the coffeehouse. Sonny has assigned him to supervise some shipments as well; on July 11, 2007, he was shot by his friend (and police cadet) Coop while watching a shipment at the pier.[5] After waking from a coma in early 2008, Logan took a job as a bodyguard for Sonny's rival, mobster Anthony Zacchara.
Logan's career aspirations may be more varied than just mafia work, however. During a hospital stay after the gunfight at The Cellar, Coop revealed that Logan once aspired to be a doctor. He originally joined the military to help pay for medical school. Logan has appeared interested in medicine in many of his scenes. In his first meeting with Lulu, he advised her on caring for the stitches from the injuries she sustained during the Metro Court hostage situation. While a patient at General Hospital, Logan asked Maxie, a hospital volunteer, for a medical journal to read.
[edit] Military service
Logan served in the same army platoon in Iraq with Coop Barrett. On April 30, 2007, he mentioned that he had served two tours of duty in Iraq, meaning that he probably spent at least two years in the Middle East. He sold illegal merchandise while in the army, and in his very first episode, he was shown to carry both a gun and a propensity for doing things the easy way even if they aren't right. After a gunfight in The Cellar, Coop told Mac Scorpio that he and Logan were both MPs and that Logan is licensed to carry a gun. Logan's military service record has prompted Damian Spinelli to dub him, among other things, "the Crabby Commando."
