and Amber Moore
(Adrienne Frantz
). The baby's biological mother is Amber's cousin, Becky. Amber passes the child off as her son with Rick. The truth is discovered and Deacon pursues custody of the child.
This launched a storyline that focuses on Deacon's romantic interest in Amber. He attempts to seduce her away from Rick for himself. The efforts are complicated by his relationship with Bridget Forrester
. Deacon pretends to be over Amber after Bridgett discovers he married her to get Amber to leave Rick. She has a near fatal car accident and Eric tries to kill him by running him over with his car and he feels like scum. So in an attempt to make himself feel less guilty he makes an attempt to forget Amber but continues to pursue her by taking her to Vegas to give her a massage and by creating situations in which he shows up at beach locations and rubs lotion on her body in an attempt to tempt her. Bridget and Deacon's marriage was never unfortunately real but was based on his obsession with Amber and what kept them together was his attempt to prove to Bridget that he could be a better person and that was even after having an affair with Brooke.
