Rafe Kovich, Jr. is a fictional character on the American daytime soap opera General Hospital. He is portrayed by Jimmy Deshler. Rafe is the son of Alison Barrington and Caleb Morley. He arrived in on January 30, 2013 with his mother.

Background
Rafe's mother, Alison Barrington, was pregnant at the conclusion of Port Charles in 2003 with the child of either Caleb Morley or Rafe Kovich. In 2013, it was announced that Alison and her son Rafe, father said to be Caleb in the media, would be coming to General Hospital. Rafe Kovich, Sr. was said to have left Alison after he found out that the baby was Caleb's.

Storylines
Rafe arrives in on January 30, 2013, and his mother Alison says she is there to contact Lucy Coe. They have been bouncing from one city to the next in fear that someone (most likely Caleb Morley) will take Rafe away from Alison. When Alison leaves to go find Lucy, she gives Rafe a spear to attack anyone who comes by Pier 52, where she leaves him. Rafe wants to be independent and not depend on the kindness of strangers. On January 31, he meets Molly Lansing-Davis and they go to Kelly's for some food. When he leaves the restaurant, he gives Molly a couple flowers from the table, saying they're "flowers for the dead" in Spanish. Later, Alison is shown dead at Pier 52 with a stab wound in her chest, and Rafe is seen over her body holding the spear. John McBain comes, as instructed by Alison, and sees that there is a "probable homicide and a suspect." Alison is taken to the morgue and Rafe is sent to PCPD where Police Commissioner Anna questions him.
