Chris and Courtney: Fire and Ice
With these two love never never the question.
She wanted Joe, Chris wanted Eve, but since Eve was otherwise occupied
with her latest relationship, Chris had no problem playing the field.
After all when a blonde little vixen like Courtney wants to match wits
with a conman like Chris Ramsey, there are bound to be some sparks flying.
Chris and Courtney found one another and in their own ways used one another
to get what they wanted, she wanting to destroy Joe and Karen's relationship
by getting her lover and pal Frank to help her in the quest, while Chris
wanted to have something to do with his time since his firey roommate moved
out. Yes Chris and Courtney had their fun, but part of the thrill
was to see who would win this intricate game of cat and mouse. Of
course in the end when Courtney tried to fight below the belt, she lost
as Chris would not take anyone or anything trying to destroy his relationship
with Eve. Courtney was history as soon as her attacks landed in Eve's
direction.
Revenge: Chris Takes Being Bad A Bit Far With
Livvie
As soon as Livvie Locke arrived in town looking
for answers about her mother, she was led directly to Chris Ramsey.
She began asking questions about his wife and immediately Chris knew she
was up to something. She came along at the perfect time for Chris
as he was in the right frame of mind to take revenge upon Livvie's mother,
Rachel. Chris expertly manipulated Livvie as she found out about
her true parentage, building a trust that led Livvie into a "connection"
with Chris. She attempted to show her appreciation to him via
a kiss which he said flattered him but he didn't want to take advantage
of her. Livvie began to fall for Chris's brother, Jack, while
still getting to know Chris. When Chris finally approached Livvie
about taking their relationship beyond a basic friendship, she balked because
she was feeling something more for his brother. Chris & Jack
have been in fierce competition for Livvie's affection, bringing
Chris to use all his resources to expose Jack's dirty little secrets.
Once Livvie knew the truth about Jack's motivations, she was ready to cut
him out of her life and perhaps let Chris back in. only to toss him aside
once more when she realized that it was Jack who was meant to have her
heart.
Crazy: Chris and Julie
Chris & Julie shared a friendship since the
beginning of their internship together at GH. Once Chris had slept
with Julie's mother however, their friendship was rocky at best for quite
a while. When Julie was put into Ferncliff for the General Homicide
murders, Chris believed she was guilty. However, he was motivated
to get to her because of his one true love....money. Chris
wanted the money from the DL-56 profits which had been left to Julie as
Bennett Devlin's heir. Julie had ideas of her own regarding Chris.
She needed someone to help her keep her unborn child from becoming a ward
of the state. They struck a deal. Julie would give Chris his
portion of the DL-56 profits as long as Chris got her baby away from Ferncliff
until Julie could be acquitted of the General Homicide murders. They
never expected their relationship to be anything more than a business arrangement.
After escaping from Ferncliff, Julie sought out Chris's help because she
was in labor! Chris took Julie out on the interstate towards a cabin
but Baby Christina wasn't going to wait. Chris pulled off the highway
to a fairy tale village theme park where he delivered Julie's baby girl
and saved her life as the embilical cord was wrapped around the baby's
neck. Julie named the baby after Chris because he'd saved her life.
This experience bonded the two schemers in a way neither had imagined.
They married in order to share the money, but they'd also found companionship
in one another. They'd fallen in love. Once Julie stood trial
and was acquitted of the murders, the Ramseys had to learn how deal with
one another on a day to day basis. They soon learned intimacy with
each other and became lovers after a period of adjustment. The now
closer Dr. and Mrs. Ramsey began taking steps to get baby Christina back
into their custody. The courts deemed that Christina was better off
left in the care of her adopted parents Scott and Lucy Baldwin. Julie
became very depressed and withdrew from everyone, including Chris.
Julie took off one night, kidnapping Christina, and taking off into the
great unknown. Chris had no idea what his wife had been planning
and was left heartbroken and alone, not understanding why she hadn't trusted
him enough to take him along. Chris received an annullment after
Julie had been gone for a few months and moved on with his life.
Always and Forever: Chris and Eve
While life may have thrown them a great many
twists and turns, one thing is for certain, they always seem to come back
to one another. Chris has laid his heart on the line time and time
again and while Eve may not see what she has in him, she is the one woman
who holds the key to his heart. She was accurate when she said his
love for her was unlike his love for Julie because in all honesty, it's
hard for us viewers not to see that Chris holds Eve on a pedestal high
above any other woman in his life. He loves her in shadows and with
painful restraint as he always tries to put her first, a very uncharacteristic
trait for this bad boy. Without any of the other things that come
about with his scheming nature, his love for Eve is the purest form of
Chris. It's within his concern for her that we are able to witness
the true depths of Chris Ramsey. It's in his love for Eve that we
see the one thing so many believe that he isn't capable of...his heart!

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN
Soaps In Depth
By: Kelli M. Larson
Dated: April 4, 2000
No sooner did Chris Ramsey get hitched to a
secret mom than his portrayer, Nolan North, and his real-life bride welcomed
a new addition to their family.
Three years ago, part-time comedian Nolan North
thought life couldn’t get any better. But that was before PORT CHARLES
cast him as it’s resident M.D. (Mischievous Devil) Chris Ramsey and he
met actress and fellow golf nut Jill Murray. “I had always wanted a family,
but I didn’t think I’d find the right person,” he explains. “Now, to have
someone who can put up with my antics – and [even] revel in it and encourage
it…”
He pauses. “She just instills a lot of confidence
in me, and that’s something you can’t get from other people.”
Father Time
Married last year, the two are now the proud
parents of 2-month-old Cooper. And despite his lack of sleep, Dad is loving
being a parent. “It’s lot more work that I had expected,” he admits, “but
I’m having the time of my life.
“When I’m feeding that baby at 6 am and it’s
just me and him and I look over at my beautiful wife sleeping soundly,
I honestly realize that life is just perfect.”
Paging Dr. Do-Good?
Ironically, North’s new home life is one the
of the first things he’s had in common with his PC character. “The timing
is very interesting,” he muses. “Here Chris is the guy who posted pictures
of Ellen and Matt sleeping together and now he’s got a wife who he truly
loves!”
Whether the Ramseys will be as happy as the
Norths remains to be seen, but the actor believes they are starting from
a good place. “The fact that Julie didn’t tell anyone that she was Devlin’s
daughter prompted Chris to think, ‘Wow, she’s trying to do it on her own,”
so he’s always respected her.”
And while Eve many have held the key to Chris’
heart, it was Julie – during her incarceration – who turned the lock. “seeing
somebody else needing him to be selfless,” North suggests, “is what prompted
Chris to find his heart.”
A Match Made In Hell?
Now the town pariahs are joined at the hip
and ready for anything. “Chris is a fine doctor, but he may feel he has
less to prove now because he has somebody [to whom] it doesn’t matter what
he is, as long as he’s happy,” North says, adding that he knows the feeling.
“Since I got married and had the baby, all my priorities lined up. It’s
like there’s nothing I can’t do.”
