Bellow took over the role of Dr. TJ in 2018 and has been an integral part of storylines. He was introduced as the son of Shawn Butler and Jordan Ashford, adding layers to his identity and causing drama in his storyline.

Another complicated part of his story was his relationship with his teenage sweetheart, Molly Davis. TJ and Molly's relationship had gone through some major traumatic events, but the couple tried their best to make it work.

One of the major ones was their challenge with fertility; the couple's wish to become parents broke when it was discovered that Molly had fertility issues. The two opted for surrogacy, but that did not work either, as the surrogate, Molly's sister, Kristina, had an unfortunate miscarriage. The two ended their relationship after the death of their surrogate child.

In recent episodes of General Hospital, however, fans have seen a decline in his presence on screen. This happened after the breakup of TJ and Molly's relationship and Molly's moving forward with someone new. The closing credits of the February 21 episode confirmed it, as his name wasn't on the cast list anymore.
