**Carlos Francisco Rivera** was a fictional character from the ABC daytime drama *General Hospital*. He is the identical twin of Dr. Joe Rivera.

He was portrayed by actor Jeffrey Vincent Parise from September 19, 2013 to July 20, 2016.

In 2016, Carlos was murdered by mob boss Julian Jerome after the crime at the All Saints Church by Carlos' new friend Landon Dixon before he was captured. At the time of his death, he was married to the late Nurse Sabrina Santiago (alive at the time of Carlos death, but later killed by Paul Hornsby - the GH killer and later replaced by Valentin Cassadine) and they shared a son together by the name of Teddy Rivera, whom Sabrina tells Tracy Quartermaine, was named after the late Edward Quartermaine.

## Storylines

Carlos shows up in Port Charles at Felix DuBois and Sabrina Santiago's apartment asking if she lives there. He goes to the hospital, where a nurse tells him & Felix that Sabrina is taking care of Emma Drake, the daughter of Dr. Patrick Drake. Carlos convinces the nurse to give him Patrick's address, where he finds Sabrina. There, it's revealed that he's Sabrina's ex-boyfriend from Puerto Rico. He kisses her & tells her he came to Port Charles on a job offer, but also to win Sabrina back. Sabrina refuses, reminding him they broke up because he refused to support her dream of becoming a nurse. Carlos says he's changed, but Sabrina tells him she has too, and she's now dating Patrick. Carlos sees a picture of Patrick, Emma, and his late wife, Robin, and tells Sabrina he might be holding onto Robin. Carlos leaves, but tells Sabrina he's not giving up on her. Later, he meets his employer, Julian Jerome.

Carlos tries to undermine Sabrina & Patrick's relationship by claiming that Patrick will hold onto Robin, and never love Sabrina the way he does. Sabrina, though, stays committed to Patrick, and the two eventually become engaged. Carlos still tries to get Sabrina back. One day, he comes upon an alive Robin in the hospital lab, and tells Sabrina because Robin is being held by Cesar Faison, Jerry Jacks, and Liesl Obrecht for Robin to be replaced by Brad Cooper and Ava Jerome under the orders of Faison, Jerry, and Obrecht. She discredits him, however, and says to leave her & Patrick alone. On their wedding day, though, Robin shows up alive, and Sabrina runs away in tears. She ends up finding Carlos, and he lets her stay at his place for the night. The next day, Patrick finds Sabrina & Carlos together, and after Sabrina leaves, he punches Carlos and threatens him to stay away from Sabrina.
