Clark Oswald

Clark Oswald is a character on Times of Passion. An occasional drag queen, he first appeared as a gay activist and friend of Karen Jameson, along with his boyfriend Eddie. The three founded the Port Winston AIDS center and helped HIV patients and homeless gay youth. What began as a collaboration soon turned into a cordial friendship; Clark eventually became Alexander's godfather. When both Karen and Eddie died of AIDS in 1992, Clark took over the center and eventually lost contact with Alexander and his family.

When Alex himself came out as gay in 2006, he ran away from home and was taken in by Clark, who acted as his mentor and friend.

Since 2016, Clark has made recurring appearances on the show's spin-off, Open Arms. 

Clark held the record for the longest time between appearances, with 15 years between 1992 and 2007. He was eventually surpassed by Vivienne Henderson when she returned in 2016.
