Griffin Castillo is a fictional character from the ABC and The Online Network soap opera All My Children. The character debuted on November 16, 2010, and was portrayed by Jordi Vilasuso.
Griffin Castillo first appeared at Pine Valley Hospital and immediately began flirting with the married Amanda Martin and helped her repair her husband's car. He also assisted Opal Cortlandt after a heart related problem where he was revealed to be a Cardiologist. Later that day, Griffin is punched by Jake Martin, who reveals that Griffin is the man that stole his former wife Cara Finn, when all three had been involved in Doctors Without Borders. It was revealed on December 16, 2010, that Cara is actually Griffin's sister.
Griffin goes to find Zach Slater, who called him to town to help expand the Miranda Center, but when he goes to Zach's house, his wife Kendall, tells him Zach has died in plane crash. Griffin saved his mentor Dr. David Hayward's life when he was admitted with a gunshot wound. Later, Dr. Angie Hubbard offered Griffin a job working at Pine Valley Hospital due to being short-staffed, Griffin accepted.
Cara is revealed to be traveling on a fake passport, and ends up getting detained by Immigration. Later, Jake's brother, Tad, steps up to help her by saying Cara is his fiancée. Griffin goes along with the ruse to save Cara, keeping their mother, Leticia, at bay so that she can't stop the wedding. Later, he tells Jake to help Cara get a full-time job at the hospital to establish the cover of her marriage.
Griffin finds out Kendall thinks Zach was murdered by his casino partners, and wants to help her out. He later realizes that Reverend Ricky Torres is trying to win over Kendall, and tries to be light about it. Griffin saves Kendall's life when he has to perform heart surgery on her in the back of an ambulance, and confides to her that he has been taking drugs from the hospital to give to clinics around the world that need the medicine. When he tries to investigate the casino partners on his own, he ends up getting beaten and lies to Kendall about it.
