Alexander Cambias, Sr. is a fictional character from the ABC daytime drama All My Children, as portrayed by Ronald Guttman, from July 23, 2003 until August 2003. He returned on February 23, 2007.
The character faked his death (on August 29, 2003), but later turned out to be alive upon his return to Pine Valley and also the Satin Slayer, an extremely clever serial killer murdering the women of Fusion Cosmetics.
The storyline proved to be one of the most controversial in daytime, for the death of character Dixie Cooney Martin, a former longtime heroine of the series.[1]
Satin Slayer, the Fusion serial killer storyline
The women of Fusion were being murdered by a serial killer.[2] It starts in December 2006 and has connection to Zach Slater and his late mother, Amelia. During February Sweeps 2007, it is revealed that the Satin Slayer is indeed Alexander Cambias, Sr., Zach Slater's father, who was thought to be dead, but is very much alive. The poison that was used to murder/attack the victims is a drug which causes Ventricular tachycardia, also known as V-tach.
The victims of the Satin Slayer:
- Simone Torres (murdered; December 4, 2006)
- Erin Lavery (murdered; December 12, 2006)

Characters Zach, Josh, Kendall, Jack, Jeff and Joe kept Babe in hiding to protect her from the Satin Slayer. Babe was poisoned with V-tach and suffered a heart attack)
