Character History
Genevieve comes to Genoa City in 2011 looking for revenge for Cane's "death". Although, Genevieve revealed the truth about Cane on May 31, 2011, that it was Cane's twin brother, Caleb Atkinson, who was shot and killed, and not Cane. Genevieve's plan to get revenge on Colin came together, as she finally came to face to face with him when he tried to kidnap their grandchildren and take them to Australia. Genevieve sets up a shrine to their late daughter, Samantha, in her house for Colin to see. Genevieve believes that Colin is responsible for their daughter's death. Genevieve then knocked Colin over the balcony of her mansion, as he held on, until Jill showed to help him, only for her to let him slip, after Genevieve revealed that Colin is her legal husband. Genevieve later had an awkward meeting with Cane's wife Lily Winters
, who wasn't happy to meet her, after discovering Cane's lies.
After having gotten her revenge on Colin, who was hospitalized and set to be later jailed after he recovered (although the charges were dropped due to diplomatic immunity), Genevieve set her sights on Jack Abbott, but she didn't reveal her name. Jack later learned who she was after she had a public dispute with Colin. Genevieve was upset when Colin was immediately let out of jail, as he had been put under security surveillance. Genevieve gained a bad reputation around a majority of Genoa City residents after playing out her scheme against Colin. Genevieve has met both Victoria Newman
and Abby Newman when she came to them about some marketing ideas for their Newman Enterprises company, Beauty of Nature. In addition, she let Victor hear her ideas when she met him at the gym. The two had a small flirtatious relationship, including Victor showing her how to use a punching bag. Colin came to visit Genevieve, and the visit culminated in the two having sex. The next day, Colin called Genevieve in front of Jill and told her that he wanted an official divorce, in an effort to win Jill's love back. Genevieve was extremely hurt and threw a temper tantrum in her house, throwing glass vases and sculptures everywhere and hysterically crying. She got her revenge by telling Jill that she slept with Colin before he filed for divorce. When Colin came to give her the divorce papers, she rubbed this in his face, even after he told her he hoped that they could remain friends. Afterward, Jack came over to visit Genevieve and comfort her after hearing about the divorce. The two began to passionately kiss, and Jack tried to lead her upstairs. Still, Genevieve said that she had only slept with one man: Colin. She didn't think she was ready to be with anyone, and she wasn't sure that she ever would be. She told Jack about how she met Colin and their long, troubled past together. She also mentioned Samantha to him. After their talk, Genevieve decided that she was ready after all to give love a try, and she led Jack upstairs herself as they kissed again.
Genevieve and Jack continue their romance, which can also be called a competition against Jill and Colin, since the four seem to run into each other constantly and try to outdo each other. Jack also hired Genevieve to be an advertising consultant, along with Jill, at Jabot, much to the two women's dismays. Genevieve and Jill's rivalry was extremely tense, which culminated with Jill and Colin having sex on Genevieve's desk. Once Genevieve realized what had happened, she became livid with Jill. Jill then ordered Genevieve to go overseas on a business trip. Jill could not go herself because her granddaughter, Delia Abbott, was diagnosed with leukemia. Genevieve was reluctant, but she had no choice but to go. She plotted a scheme against Jill and Colin before she left. She called Colin over her house to tell him that some of his henchmen from Australia were trying to get in contact with him through her. In reality, no such thing had occurred, but Genevieve offered to retrieve the voicemails from Colin's phone while he went to her wine cellar to get a bottle of wine. She locked him in the wine cellar, and she turned off his phone. She left Colin's sunglasses on a table in her living room, and she left her computer up with two boarding passes for her and Colin to leave the country. When Jill came over looking for Colin, she believed that he left the country with Genevieve. In reality, Genevieve was the only one to leave.
After her departure, Genevieve hired people to torture Colin while he was locked in the cell. They delivered cans of tuna to him, which Genevieve knew that he hated. In addition, someone slipped a note under the door that revealed that Genevieve locked Colin in the wine cellar in order to drain his bank accounts into her own. Colin had discovered only moments before when he opened her safe that Genevieve was tracking his bank account activity. Still, Cane and Jill managed to save Colin and Gloria Bardwell
, who also got locked inside.
Genevieve returned to Genoa City on October 12, 2011. When Genevieve returned, she was startled to find Colin's hand wrapped around her throat. She was issued a threat and warning from him. Later, she and Jack went to Gloworm, where Colin manhandled her. Jack and Colin almost got into a physical fight when Jack intervened. This act by Jack moved Genevieve. Later, Genevieve and Jack went back to her home, where they made love. Colin planned to kill Genevieve and Gloria Bardwell
. He set up an explosion at Genevieve's house, in a scheme to kill them both after luring them into the house. However, the plan went awry, and Lily Winters
became a victim of the explosion, but Cane saved her just in time. Genevieve's housekeeper, Myrna (who is really the insane Patty Williams
) was also in the house at the time of the explosion, and she was severely burned in the accident. With the help of Cane and Chance Chancellor
, Colin was arrested by Ronan Malloy for setting up the entire scheme on October 21, 2011. Genevieve could not believe that Colin would stoop so low as to try and kill her. She said her final good-byes to him at the police station. She and Jack spent the next few days at the hospital while Myrna was making her recovery. Genevieve had no idea that Myrna was really Jack's crazed ex-wife, Patty. As soon as Jack saw her, he would know who she was. Patty told Genevieve that she was shy about her face since the accident, and Genevieve gave her a shroud to wear so that no one would recognize her (although Genevieve thought it was only so that no one would see her face).
Summers) is a fictional character on the CBS
soap opera The Young and the Restless
played by actress Jessica Collins beginning in July 2011. She was Sharon Newman's new lawyer, hired by her ex-father-in-law, Victor Newman
, and she represented her in her ongoing battle for being accused of murdering Skye Newman. She was also the younger sister of Phyllis Summers, revealed for the first time in August 2011.
Character history
Avery was hired by Victor Newman
to help Sharon Newman get out of jail. Sharon was wrongfully convicted of murdering Skye Newman, but before she could be sentenced, her then-fiancee, Adam Newman, helped her escape. Sharon stayed in New Mexico until she was discovered there. She had a romance with a local veterinarian, Sam Gibson, while in New Mexico. When she returned to Genoa City, she was sentenced to 30 years in prison without parole. Victor hired Avery as Sharon's new lawyer to get her out of prison. She, as well as Sam, Sharon's son, Noah Newman
and Victor, were Sharon's biggest supporters. For a more complete story about the Skye Newman Murder, please see Sharon Newman, Adam Newman or Victor Newman
.
Avery pretended to flirt with Adam, in order to figure out if he actually destroyed evidence that could clear Sharon's name. After their first "flirtation", however, Adam realized who she was and started to ignore her. Adam let her know that he knew who she was. Avery found out that Adam did in fact destroy the evidence because he wanted to see Sharon suffer. By blackmailing Spencer, the Genoa City District Attorney, Avery was able to create a new trial for Sharon, much to Adam's dismay. Her arrival in Genoa City also seemed to disturb Phyllis Newman, as she recognized Avery when she researched her on the internet. They ran into each other, and it was discovered that she was Phyllis's younger sister. Adam Newman watched the exchange, but he doesn't know their exact connection yet. The two seemed to have a distressed relationship that involved Phyllis leaving Avery. Phyllis tried to make Avery understand that she had to leave home, although the reason was still unknown. Avery told Phyllis how highly she thought of her when they were younger. Phyllis also asked Avery why she changed her name and added on "Clark". Avery revealed that she was once married, but she and her ex-husband are divorced. Avery left to visit Sharon in prison. She ended up informing Sharon of her relationship to Phyllis, and Sharon worried that she cannot trust her.
On September 6, 2011, Sharon's hearing began with Avery going toe-to-toe with A.D.A. Heather Stevens
, who involuntarily took the first chair for the prosecution after the DA, Spencer, told her that he was taking the second chair. Avery's presence in the courtroom is unmatched, which worries Spencer and Heather about the Sharon's looming fate. Later at Crimson Lights, Avery saw Phyllis and Nick making out. She then called Nick to meet with him about the hearing, but she seemed to have other motives. Phyllis came to Avery and told her that she would testify for Sharon if Avery didn't tell anyone about their past together. Just as Phyllis told Avery not to tell anyone that they were sisters, Nick walked in to the courtroom where the two were speaking.
Sharon's new trial resumed, with Adam Newman taking the stand. A.D.A. Heather Stevens did an excellent job of using Adam to make Sharon seem morally lacking. Then, Avery threw the courtroom for a loop when she brought out Adam's previous disposition from Sharon's first trial, where he stated how kind and loving Sharon was and how she would never do anything to hurt anyone. Excited that she seemed to be pulling ahead, Avery was stunned to hear that the D.A., Spencer, already decided to offer Sharon a plea bargain of 3 years in jail. Avery did not want to take the deal because she thought she could get Sharon acquitted. She explained to Sharon that she would be freed in 18 months if she decided to take the deal. Without hesitation and Victor by her side, Sharon told Avery that she wanted to take the deal. Avery met with Nick and asked him to bring Noah
and Faith to court for Sharon to see them after she accepted the deal. In reality, Avery knew that by seeing her children, Sharon would not want to accept the plea bargain. She was right; when the judge asked Sharon how she pleaded to involuntary manslaughter, Sharon told him that she was not guilty, after she heard Faith calling for her and saying "mommy". Nick was upset with Avery when he realized her dishonest actions that involved his children; he warned Avery that she better win the trial not only for Sharon, but for Faith and Noah as well.
Meanwhile, Avery ran into Phyllis at Crimson Lights, and she was with her granddaughter, Lucy Abbott. Avery did not know the circumstances under which Phyllis became a grandmother, nor how she took custody of Lucy away from her adopted parents, Billy
and Victoria Newman Abbott. When Avery tried to say hello to her great-niece, Phyllis became very wary of her, pulling Lucy away from Avery's reach. Phyllis goes on to say how she worked so hard in order to get Lucy back because she is her family, her blood. Avery retorted that if Phyllis thinks that family should be together, then she should get to know her niece, but Nick walked in on the two fighting, and Avery dropped the argument. She then apologized to Nick for using him to change Sharon's mind. Avery received word that Sharon was attacked by a fellow inmate, and she was approached by another inmate who tried to save Sharon, Daisy Carter. Daisy is Lucy's biological mother, and Phyllis tricked her into thinking that she would save her, when in reality, she only used her to get her daughter. Daisy, who didn't know that Phyllis and Avery were sisters, went on to call Phyllis a "bitch", and she begged Avery to help her get out of prison so she could take her baby back from Phyllis.
Avery decided to take on Daisy's case just to anger Phyllis. By Avery's hand, Phyllis was forced to take Lucy for scheduled visits to the penitentiary where Daisy was staying. Meanwhile, Sharon's trial was coming to a head, and Avery's intern, Ricky Williams
, found evidence that would ensure their win. He took scandalous photos of Heather Stevens kissing her one-time fiancee, Adam Newman, after Adam got Heather drunk at a bar and seduced her. In reality, Adam purposely incriminated Heather in order to help Sharon. In the end, the evidence was not needed. Phyllis' budding relationship with Detective Ronan Malloy caused her to find the memory card that Adam threw in the river. Phyllis and Ronan burst into the courtroom, and once the judge heard the evidence that they presented, he dropped all of the charges against Sharon. Sharon, Avery and her family celebrated over her freedom.
Avery was in her room at the Athletic Club when Nick stopped by to thank her for all that she did to help Sharon. After staring longingly at each other for several minutes, Nick grabbed Avery in a passionate embrace, and the two had sex. Phyllis, meanwhile, was at the police station, seducing Ronan Malloy. When Ronan received a phone call that could incriminate Nick, Phyllis called to warn him, only to be shocked when Avery answered his phone. Phyllis came over to Avery's room to find Nick putting on his clothes, and she put the pieces together. Nick became angry with Avery for deliberately luring Phyllis to her room, where she knew that she would find them together. Avery later apologized, telling Nick that her feelings for him had nothing to do with Phyllis. The two reconnected and continued to explore their relationship.

played first Erin Sanders
in 2008, then Vanessa Marano
from 2008–2010 and currently by actress Jessica Heap beginning in 2011. She is the half-sister of Michael Baldwin
.
Character History
Using an alias, Eden Gerick debuted in 2008 as the daughter of River Baldwin and the half-sister of Michael Baldwin
. Raised on an ashram
by her father, she never met the rest of her family until River went to Genoa City to visit Michael and was subsequently arrested for crimes he was accused of 40 years prior. Though her father was found innocent, he was revealed to actually be guilty and went on the run again soon after, leaving Eden with Michael.
While in Genoa City, Eden developed a romantic relationship with Noah Newman
, but their families were against it. They continued seeing each other in secret until they gained the approval of their families. In 2010, upon being mysteriously contacted by estranged relatives, she decided to leave Genoa City to reconnect with them in Paris. Noah went with her on her trip to Europe.
It was later revealed that Daisy Carter had framed Eden for sending Lauren Fenmore a rat and for keeping newspaper clippings of Sheila Carter
in her school binder. Daisy was also responsible for putting Eden and her relatives in contact in order to drive her away from Genoa City because of her suspicion that Daisy was not who she seemed. Noah and Eden continued their love affair in Paris, but at some point, the relationship fell apart off-screen; Noah returned to Genoa City, but Eden decided to remain in Paris.
Later, it was revealed that Eden did not stay in Paris as long as she said she did. In reality, she went to rehab for an eating disorder that she developed while overseas. Eden was at the same rehab in Connecticut that Abby Newman was sent to by her father, Victor Newman
. Even though Eden wanted to avoid Abby, she was forced to become her "buddy" and had to show her around and help her get used to the facility. Abby tells Eden that she should come back to Genoa City. After Abby left rehab only a few days after she checked in, Eden decided to cancel her flight back to Paris and book a new one to Genoa City. The first person to see her there was her sister-in-law, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin
. Later, she confronted her ex-boyfriend, Noah. Then, she surprised Michael and his brother (who she also treats as brother), Kevin Fisher
, at Crimson Lights. Eden and Noah struck up a friendship since she was back in town. It was obvious that Noah still has feelings for Eden, especially after she comforted him when his mother, Sharon Newman, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Noah tried to kiss Eden one day, but she stopped him, saying that she wasn't sure if that was what is best for them right now. Still, it was also obvious that Eden still had feelings for Noah because she was often seen looking on jealously as Noah hung out with his new friend in town, Hunter. Noah tried to get Hunter a job at Crimson Lights, which Kevin owns. The job was originally offered to Eden, but she declined. As soon as she found out that Hunter wanted the job, she took back what she said, and she now works as a barista at Crimson Lights with Kevin.

It should be noted that while both blame Lauren for their mother's death, they do not seem to realize that their half-sister, Mary, cut Shelia out of her life because of what she was.
In October 2010, Daisy returned to Genoa City, where she was seen at Billy's Halloween party, much to Lauren's horror. After no sign of Daisy was made, Lauren asked herself if she was just hallucinating. But when Phyllis Summers Newman
later went through some party photos, she discovered Daisy in a nun costume. Later, Daniel and Abby find Daisy at his apartment; Daisy then revealed she was pregnant and claimed that Daniel was the father. Daisy suggested a paternity test should be undertaken. Daisy threatened to kill the fetus if Daniels contacted the authorities and turned her in. Abby, who was at the scene, immediately called Ronan Malloy. Ronan then took Daisy and arrested her. A DNA test revealed Daniel was indeed the father of Daisy's child, but he did not take the news well because he hated Daisy.

Daisy agreed to do what Phyllis said so she could see her daughter grow up and be in her life, despite having no rights. Daniel warned Daisy that Phyllis wouldn't pay her legal bills if they lost the case. She was only a pawn in the custody case where the real prize was Lucy.

Character History
Sam entered the picture while convicted felon, Sharon Newman, was on the run after escaping legal custody. Sam accommodated Sharon, under the alias Sherry Coleman, while she took shelter on a local farm where Sam worked. Over the course of the following weeks, Sam supplied Sharon with food and shelter. Sharon began to trust Sam, and they became fast friends. Sharon began slightly opening up to Sam about her family, and later Sam opened up about a past failed marriage that he had. During this time, Sam's young friend, Piper Welch, who lived nearby, met Sharon and took a liking to her. A small bond formed between Sam, Piper and Sharon.
One day, Sam overheard Piper asking Sharon if she had a crush on Sam, in which Sharon replied that she wasn't interested in anyone, which floored Sam. He later helped Sharon when she cut her leg while trying to run off after meeting Piper's father, who had a job in law enforcement. After Sam bandaged Sharon up, he kissed her and asked Sharon on a date, which she accepted to go on. However, Sam wound up standing her up because he got drunk, which caused a small rift between the two. Sam later broke down as he confided in Sharon that he skipped out on their date due to his heartbreak over the death of his dog, O'Keefe. The emotional moment led to the two making love in Sam's bedroom on his farm. Afterwards, Sharon, who didn't regret making love with Sam, tried to flee his farm, fearing she would hurt Sam as they became closer. Sharon wrote Sam a letter, flashing back on her entire life in Genoa City, but then she decided against giving it to him and destroyed the letter. Sam assured Sharon of his feelings for her and asked her to move into his farmhouse, and she accepted his offer. Later, Sam asked Sharon to accompany him to an annual dance celebration, which she initially declined, but later she decided to go when Piper asked her to go with her. She also was persuaded to go after Piper told Sharon how happy Sam was when he was around her. During the dance, the husband of the woman who carjacked Sharon recognized her, and then she was arrested by Sam's law enforcement friends, including Piper's dad, Lee Welch. As Sharon was taken back to Genoa City, Sam followed her as he realized that he didn't want to lose her. Sharon confessed about her true identity and her past, and she assured Sam, who believed in and supported her, that she didn't kill anyone. Sharon was then torn between her feelings for ex-fiance, Adam Newman, and Sam, who was very hostile to Adam from the moment they met.
Upon meeting Victor Newman
, who accused Sam of being an opportunist, Sam got upset and stood up to Victor, telling him off, which impressed Victor, making him to see that Sam was a good man. Then, Victor asked him to stick around in Genoa City in hopes of keeping Sharon and Adam apart. Sam stood by Sharon, visiting her in the penitentiary almost every day. After Adam dumped Sharon, Sam stood up to him, at one point punching him in the mouth.
Victor told Sam that his daughter, Victoria Newman
, had a room for rent in her home. Victoria's husband, Billy Abbott
, left her as their marriage was falling apart. It is unknown whether Victor is trying to set Sam up with Victoria, or if he is merely looking out for him. Either way, Sam showed up to Victoria's home, and she was unaware that her dad mentioned her home to Sam. Although she was taken aback, she did admit to Sam that she had a room available above her garage that she was willing to rent to him. After moving in to the garage apartment, Sam helped Victoria build a bike for her son, Reed Hellstrom, and he also gave her a dog. Still, Sam continued to stick by Sharon, especially during her new hearing in court that her lawyer, Avery Bailey Clark, got for her.
Sam made it his mission to take care of Victoria, after finding out about her recent misfortunes with Lucy and Billy. He cooked her his grandmother's famous chili and played Parcheesi with her at her house. The two seemed to have a great time, but Victoria's mind was still on Billy. Sam was present during Sharon's new trial in court along with Nick Newman
and Victor. Unbeknownst to Sam, Billy was back in town with Victor's help. Billy desperately wanted to contact Victoria, but Victor would not allow him to, keeping him locked up in his trailer without contact from the outside world. Victor went as far as to tell Billy that Victoria had moved on from him, most likely in Victor's mind, with Sam. Even though Victoria did not have any romantic feelings towards Sam, Billy was unaware of their new friendship since his absence. On October 28, 2011 Sam leaves town for a couple of days to help a friend who took over his practice.

Character History
When Devon Hamilton
finally gained enough courage to see his homeless mother, Yolanda, he found her living in a park, unbelievably skinny and dirty. She was still addicted to drugs, and any money she got she spent on drugs. She explained to Devon that because of her addiction, she would not accept his money when he offered her some. She encouraged her son to return to Genoa City to his new family and to enjoy his life, which he did, but he occasionally returned to check up on her.
Devon eventually visited Yolanda, asking her to check in to a rehab facility, but she refused to do so, claiming that she was finally off the drugs. She went to live with Devon and his new family, but her old habits did not just disappear. She used the watch that she stole from Devon's adopted father, Neil Winters
, to buy drugs, which later led to her being found overdosed and unconscious in the park by her son. Later, Yolanda finally decided to go to rehab, and even got a great job at Jabot, but her luck turned on her again when she came on to Neil. She asked Devon to accompany her back home, but then she left without him.
Years later, although unseen, Yolanda had a major role in a different storyline. Devon had found out that he had a sister, Ana Hamilton, who Yolanda gave to her sister, Tyra Hamilton
, to raise as her own. Yolanda had apparently cleaned up her act yet again, and she wanted to regain custody of her daughter again after she found a good man, but she never came to Genoa City to claim Ana. Rafe Torres later had Yolanda's parental rights terminated. At Lily Winters
and Cane Ashby's
wedding, Yolanda and Tyra's aunt, Virginia Hamilton, also dropped another bomb on the family by revealing to Tyra that she and Yolanda were not biological sisters. Tyra was left with Yolanda's mother as a baby, and she was just always considered to be a part of the Hamilton family.
Later, Virginia and Devon discovered an unsent letter that Yolanda wrote to her ex-lover, explaining that he was Devon's father. In summer 2011, it was revealed that the letter that Virginia found was actually a copy, and Yolanda had actually sent the letter to her ex-lover. Meanwhile, Katherine Chancellor
knew that her estranged son, Tucker McCall, also had an unknown son that he did not know about. Katherine hired Paul Williams
to find her grandson. Tucker was in a band when he was younger, and he had two female groupies, one of whom was nicknamed "Candy Cane". Paul soon found out who Candy Cane was: Yolanda. Tucker's son was then discovered to be none other than Devon. With the cancellation of All My Children
on September 23, 2011, the role of Yolanda Hamilton was recast by veteran soap actress Debbi Morgan
.
On October 7, 2011, Yolanda came back to Genoa City under the alias "Harmony". On October 13, 2011, Harmony comes face to face to Tucker for the first time since she was pregnant with Devon. However, on October 19, 2011, Harmony claimed she was leaving town because Devon didn't want her in Genoa City any longer.
Harmony surfaces again in Genoa City in November 2011, when she arrives to see Tucker get married to Ashley Abbott McCall (they were already legally married, though they wanted to renew their vows). Neil Winters
tells her it isn't her place to be at the wedding, and that she should leave.

, played by Jeff Branson
from June 2010 to February 2011 and then returned on August 2011. Ronan was born on-screen in August 1986.
Character Introduction
Ronan became Chance Chancellor
's new partner at the Genoa City Police Department when he was assigned to help Chance protect Heather Williams, who had been taunted and stalked. Chance immediately had a personality conflict with his new partner. Ronan later revealed that he previously lived in Genoa City, before moving to Los Angeles. Before long, Ronan's true colors began to show as he turned out to be a shady cop in cahoots with Detective Sid Meeks and District Attorney Owen Pomerantz. In July 2010, Ronan was revealed in a phone conversation with Christine Blair
to be Nina Webster
's long-lost son: the son stolen from her at birth by Rose DeVille. Thus, he and Chance were maternal half-brothers. When Paul Williams, Heather's father, caught him manhandling Heather, Christine stood up for Ronan by revealing the truth that Ronan was actually an undercover cop working with her to protect Heather from shady members of the Justice Department.
Relationships with Heather and Chloe
On July 28, 2010, Ronan received a call from Chloe Mitchell
while he was guarding Heather. Chloe wanted to meet him at Jimmy's Bar. Ronan found someone to cover for him to watch Heather. At Jimmy's, Ronan figured out the Chloe was using him to make Chance jealous because Chance cheated on Chloe. It was Chloe's birthday, however, so the two danced and talked at the bar. Ronan saw Chance come in with roses and let Chloe know, then Chloe kissed Ronan right in front of Chance. Ronan told Chance that Detective Meeks was watching Heather, and Chance stormed off to be with her. Chloe felt badly afterwards, but Ronan comforted her. Then, he kissed her. He told her to be careful what she wished for, and then he left. On August 12, 2010, Chloe got a peek at Ronan's driver's license and realized that it was his birthday. Meanwhile, Nina and Paul, who were seeing each other at the time, marked her lost son's birthday on a calendar. Chloe thought it is odd that Ronan and Nina's lost son's birthdays were on the same day, but she did not let Ronan know.
In August 2010, Chloe found out the truth about Ronan: he was Nina's son and Chance's brother. She confronted him at Jimmy's Bar. He made her promise to not tell anyone. On August 24, 2010, Chloe and Ronan were at Crimson Lights, and they talked about telling Nina the truth. Chloe told Ronan that Nina needed him, even if he didn't need her. Chloe and Ronan went back to Chloe's house. While outside Chloe's door, Ronan told her, "I don't usually do blind folds on the first date, but I'll make an exception for you." The two sipped some wine and enjoyed each other's company. Then, Meeks knocked on the door, looking for Ronan. Ronan left Chloe's house, but he came back later to find Chloe arguing with Chance; he told Chloe that Ronan was using her. Chloe threw Chance out, but she told Ronan that she hated keeping the truth from him. When asked if he was really using her, Ronan replied that he and Chloe were using each other. Ronan just wanted to enjoy Chloe's company, but she told him to leave because she was still hung up on Chance. Ronan knew that and agreed to leave. Later, Chloe approached Ronan to talk about what Chance got himself into. When nighttime rolled around, Ronan went back to Chloe's house unannounced. The two argued about telling Chance and Nina the truth and opening up about his feelings. The argument ended in a passionate embrace. Ronan kissed her, and they had sex. The morning after, Ronan left a confused Chloe. He bragged to Chance about sleeping with Chloe; later, Chloe told Chance about her night with Ronan after he forced the information out of her.
On September 9, 2010, Ronan "accidentally" shot Chance. Nina, Paul, Chloe and Heather rushed in just as he was shot. Paramedics pronounced Chance dead on the spot. Ronan was arrested for shooting Chance. At the police station, Chloe confronted Ronan about killing Chance. Ronan told her that he was sorry for doing this to her, and he asked her to one day be able to forgive him. Chloe told him to burn in hell. Ronan was left on the verge of tears. On September 17, 2010, it was revealed that Chance faked his death. Only Chance's parents, Nina and Phillip, as well as Ronan and Christine, were allowed to know that he was still alive, as he was going into the Witness Protection Program. On Thanksgiving 2010, Chloe and Ronan had a heartfelt conversation. They talked about Chance's death again. She was unaware that Chance was alive, and Ronan told her that if he could take it back, he would. Ronan tried to talk to her, but Chloe, still upset over Chance's death, stormed off. Later, Chloe revealed to her best friend, Kevin Fisher
, that she had feelings for Ronan, but she couldn't give into them because he "killed" Chance.
Health Complications and Departure
In November 2010, Heather discovered that there was something wrong with Ronan's health. Over and over, Ronan told Heather to butt out, but she refused. By December, it looked like Ronan was taking a turn for the worse when he passed out while talking to Heather. Afterward, she took him to the hospital where the doctor confirmed there may be something wrong with his liver. With some help from her father, Paul, Heather confronted Ronan about Chance's "death", being that she was romantically involved with him when he died. He ended up confessing that Chance was not dead and that he was actually in the Witness Protection Program. He told her that only he, Nina, Phillip and Christine were to know about it because Chance wanted it that way.
In January 2011, it was revealed that Ronan's biological father was a man named Jimmy. Jimmy was killed by the same disease that plagued Ronan. Nina then discovered that Ronan was her lost son. It was determined that Chance was a match for Ronan to receive a partial liver transplant. Chance was forced to leave the Witness Protection Program to help save his brother's life. Immediately after the surgery, Ronan was whisked away by the FBI, leaving Nina, Chance and the rest of the Chancellor family dumbfounded as to why Ronan left. Chance vowed to make Ronan pay. Ronan was last seen recovering in an unknown hospital, doing a word search puzzle in which the question was: "A six-letter word born every minute". Ronan then wrote the word, "suckers".
Return to Genoa City as Murder Investigator
On August 3, 2011, Ronan returned to Genoa City, where he was hired as the lead investigator in the murder of Diane Jenkins
. Everyone was surprised to see him back after the way he left months before. Nina, Paul, Katherine Chancellor
, Chloe and Heather were all appalled and angered at Ronan for the way that he left. Nina went as far as to say that she didn't even consider him to be her son. Chance was not in Genoa City to see Ronan when he returned because he was on a top secret mission for the military. Heather then got hired to work on the murder investigation with her father, Paul Williams
, and Ronan.
Meanwhile, Chloe, after breaking up with her then-boyfriend, Kevin Fisher
, decided to track Ronan down and demand answers. Chloe cornered him on a basketball court, but Ronan refused to give her any answers. Later, Chloe banged on Ronan's door, demanding that she tell him what happened. Ronan answered the door in a towel because he just got out of the shower. Chloe barged inside and began pushing Ronan until he grabbed her to stop her, and then the two began to kiss and later had sex. Afterward, Chloe still wanted Ronan to open up to her, and he told her that he had to leave due to his job, and he was already giving her too much information. Chloe didn't believe him, and she stormed out. Ronan then went to the Chancellor Mansion, where Chloe lived, to apologize. His mother, Nina, was there, and she berated him for coming to apologize to Chloe when he could not bring it upon himself to apologize to his own mother. Nina was stunned to learn that Ronan had feelings for Chloe.
When Ronan found out that Chloe was at the hospital with her daughter, Delia Abbott, he went there to see if she was okay. Delia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia
. Ronan tried to comfort an upset Chloe; at first she pushed him away, but then she let him hold her. The next day, Ronan came back to the hospital to be met by a very tense Chloe, who once again told him to leave. She apologized to him after she found out that he came to the hospital to get tested to see if he was a bone marrow donor match for Delia. Ronan could not be tested due to his previous liver condition. Chloe softened upon hearing what Ronan tried to do; he was seen looking at Chloe at Delia's bedside as she sang her daughter a lullaby. A few days later, Delia came down with a fever. At the same time, Ronan called Chloe to see how she was coping. When he found out that she was extremely stressed, he came to see her and comfort her at the hospital. Chloe and Ronan shared a moment before Kevin Fisher
showed up and took Ronan's place as Chloe's supporter.
Meanwhile, Abby Newman came to Ronan, agreeing to wear a wire in order to frame her stepfather, Tucker McCall, for Diane's murder. When Abby went to Tucker's house, her mother, Ashley Abbott
, was the only one there. Ashley was being blackmailed by someone who knew that she was in the park the night that Diane died. She started confessing this secret to Abby, who began to scream at her mother to stop talking because she didn't want to get her in trouble. In the end, Ronan found out that Ashley was in the park and saw Diane the night that she died. He called her into the police station and began to question her, but she only admitted to seeing Diane, not to killing her. Ronan then received a visit from Victor Newman
after his daughter, Abby, told him about how she worked with Ronan to accidentally frame her mother. Victor tried to threaten Ronan, but he seemed unaffected. Ronan repeatedly called Ashley to come to the station until she finally gave in. He taunted her, asking her to show him how she bashed Diane's head in with the rock that he was holding. Ashley confessed to him that she saw Diane, and they argued the night that he died, but she told him that if he had any other questions, he needed to speak to her lawyer.
A few days later, Ronan met Cane Ashby
in the park to discuss some business that Cane was working on. Cane was upset that his estranged parents, Colin and Genevieve Atkinson, were still lingering in town. Their presence worried Cane's wife, Lily Ashby, because Colin had tried to kidnap her twins Charlie and Mattie Ashby. Consequently, Lily and Cane's relationship was strained. After Cane found a hidden safe in his mother's house, he consulted with Ronan to help him get the evidence he needed to force his parents out of town. When Ronan refused to help him illegally, Cane took matters into his own hands by blowing up the door to the safe in order to get inside. Ronan found Cane at Genevieve's house, just as he began to look inside the safe.
on the CBS
soap opera
The Young and the Restless
originated by actor William Russ
on December 2, 2009 who played the role until January 26, 2010. Veteran soap actor Stephen Nichols
took over the role on January 27, 2010.
About the Role
Russ originated the role, but he was replaced by Nichols due to a change in character direction, according to Maria Arena Bell
. Nichols, who began taping for the role on December 17, 2009, described Tucker as "a self-made success, a regular guy who can tend bar and shoot pool and talk s--t with anybody. He’s very unassuming in many ways."
Character History
Tucker McCall was introduced in December 2009, as the employer of J. T. Hellstrom. He perused a business deal with Katherine Chancellor
, and also he fell into bed with Jill Foster. Tucker gained control of Kay’s company by having her buy stock in a dummy corporation. He soon revealed that he was her son, whom she gave up for adoption years ago. Tucker had been planning his revenge on Kay for years, and he even went so far as to pay off a woman, Jojo Glover, to pretend to be Kay’s daughter so that he could make his move.
Over the next few months, Tucker’s animosity toward his mother began to soften, and they were eventually able to be civil to one another. Tucker later lost control of Chancellor Industries to Victor Newman
, who with help of his son, Adam Newman, stole very important documents from Tucker’s office concerning Chancellor Industries. Victor turned the company back over to Kay, but Tucker blackmailed her into giving him back control of the company by threatening to turn Victor in to the authorities. Katherine then discovered that Tucker’s success started while he was managing a rock band in the 1970s, and he bribed the Cultural Minister of Yugoslavia with a very rare painting. Kay’s plans to blackmail Tucker with this information were put on hold when Kay’s guilt for giving her son away got the best of her. Still, the truth was eventually revealed, leading to Tucker being investigated by the Department of Justice.
Tucker’s employees also included Malcolm Winters
and his fiancée, Sofia Dupre
. In July 2010, Tucker became involved with Ashley Abbott
. Together, the two investigated the shady business deals that Victor conducted with Japanese officials. Meanwhile, Tucker hired Diane Jenkins
to work for him, and the two had a one-night-stand in October 2010, despite the fact that he was dating Ashley. In December 2010, Ashley and Tucker announced their engagement, much to the dismay of Ashley’s daughter with Victor, Abby Newman, who resented Tucker for cheating on her mother. Tucker secretly worked with Ashley’s brother, Jack Abbott
in order to take the Newman Enterprises cosmetics subsidiary, Beauty of Nature, for himself and merge it with Jabot Cosmetics. They helped Abby, Victoria
and Nicholas Newman
in their lawsuit against their father. In exchange for his assistance, Tucker named Jack co-CEO of Jabot, and his position was contingent on whether Jack could successfully obtain Beauty of Nature. Behind Jack's back, Tucker offered Victoria the same deal, and whoever got Beauty of Nature first would be the CEO of the newly merged cosmetics company. Ashley learned the truth about Tucker's secret deals with Jack, and she warned him never to use her daughter again. While Jack was nervous about losing Jabot to the Newmans, Ashley realized that she could maintain a balance of power as long as she married Tucker.
After the Newman children won their lawsuit, everyone expected Victor to turn Beauty of Nature over to Victoria. Instead, Kay learned about Tucker and Jack's schemes. She wanted to help Victor by taking down Tucker, but Victor shocked everyone by relaunching Newman Enterprises as a public company. Tucker tried to convince Abby to sell her Newman stock to him, but she refused. Tucker would later by Adam's stock in the company. On May 13, 2011, Tucker was hit by a car being driven by a drunken Abby with Ashley in the passenger seat. Abby had set it up so Ashley would catch Tucker and Diane together. Instead, Abby hit Tucker with the car. Before the police arrived, Ashley switched places with her daughter in order to cover for her, and she was sent to jail.
Tucker suffered massive head trauma, which caused bleeding into his brain, and he was left in a coma. Surgery was performed to stop the bleeding, but Tucker remained in a coma, and he was put on a ventilator. Tucker's living will contained a "Do Not Resuscitate", or DNR, but Katherine used her influence to keep Tucker on the ventilator. In addition, Tucker's lawyer informed Katherine, Sofia and Victor that Tucker's living will left Katherine in charge of McCall Unlimited and Tucker's personal affairs. He also kept $20 million in trust for the son that he was searching for but never found. Kay reversed nearly every decision Tucker made, causing her to clash with Sofia and Ashley. When Ashley finally was freed from jail and went to see Tucker, on June 27, 2011, he woke up, and they married the next day. However, Tucker realized that he suddenly forgot everything business related. He could read, but he cannot comprehend what the sentences mean. Ashley, Tucker and Sofia kept the secret from everyone, fearing that Kay would try to take Tucker's company again.
Kay eventually caught on, and she took Tucker to court, challenging the validity of his marriage to Ashley and whether he was competent enough to run his own company. Ashley and Tucker fought Kay tooth and nail together, until the truth about Tucker's affair with Diane Jenkins came out, and they separated. In August 2011, Diane Jenkins was murdered in the park, and Tucker was one of the many prime suspects, because Diane threatened to tell Ashley about their affair. On August 23, 2011, after reviewing Dr. Kenna's competency report on Tucker, Judge Kelsey ruled to allow Tucker back at the helm of McCall Unlimited. While Tucker was happy to have his company back, he was infuriated with his mother. She had tricked him into selling Jabot to Chancellor Industries, knowing that Tucker could not understand what he was signing. Tucker vowed to get Jabot back at all costs.
Meanwhile, Kay had been secretly looking for Tucker's lost son after she found out about his role in Tucker's will. On September 2, 2011, Kay's friend and detective, Paul Williams
confirmed the identity of Tucker's son to be Devon Hamilton
, the adopted son of Kay's good friend, Neil Winters
. Kay tried to tell Tucker the truth, but he rejected her again. Devon had been working for Tucker's record label, but after Devon's partner, Noah Newman
, left him, Tucker fired Devon, who was unable to find a replacement. Knowing that Devon was her grandson, Kay suddenly established her own record company, and she hired Devon to lead the way, while hiding the truth from both Devon and Tucker. When Ashley's niece, Delia Abbott was diagnosed with leukemia and need a bone marrow transplant, Tucker believed it to be a coincidence when, while both being tested, he and Devon shared the same rare blood type.
Abby, who was still upset that her mother took Tucker back and married him so quickly, continued to despise Tucker. When her mother found out that she had been telling the truth, she was overjoyed that Tucker finally got what was coming to him. She then became convinced that Tucker had killed Diane Jenkins
, using the evidence that a bottle of calamine lotion was found at the murder site, and Tucker was using the same lotion to treat a rash on his arm. She tried to convince the lead investigator, Ronan Malloy, to arrest Tucker, but he needed more sufficient evidence. Ashley, who was reeling from her niece's cancer diagnosis, fell back into Tucker's arms, and the two reunited. Enraged, Abby decided to wear a wire in order to catch Tucker's murder confession on tape. Instead, Abby ran into her mother, who confessed to her that she was in the park the night that Diane died. Abby's plan backfired, and Tucker and Ashley both found out what Abby did after they found a microphone in their room. Tucker lashed out at Abby, calling her a "stupid little girl". He also found out that Ashley was lying to him about what she was doing on the night of the murder. The couple vowed to not have any more secrets from one another.
Tucker has sues his mother for selling Jabot back to Chancellor Industries and both have agreed to go into arbitration. Tucker has agreed that if he wins the case and regains control of Jabot he will sell it to his brother-in-law Jack Abbott in exchange for Jack testifying for Tucker at the arbitration. Combined with Jack's betrayal and the judge's siding with Tucker in the arbitration, Katherine has a stroke. On October 5, Tucker accidentally overhears Jill and Kay's lawyer, Mitchell Sherman discussing Devon being added to her will. Tucker eventually puts the pieces together and tracks down Devon. Devon is shocked when Tucker tells him they are father and son, and doesn't believe it until Neil confirms it. Tucker later berates Katherine for hiding the truth about Devon's paternity. On October 13, 2011 Tucker came face to face with Yolanda Hamilton or "Candy" or "Harmony" for the first time since she was pregnant with Devon.

Representing Adam Newman
In 2010, Adam Newman and his new wife, Skye, hired Vance to be Adam's lawyer because Adam was facing serious charges brought up by his family. Vance promised to make mincemeat of the Newmans and Abbotts, even though they would come after him with guns blazing. Vance held up the newspaper, and Adam and Sharon Newman were on the front page. Vance told Adam that he helped his own cause by continuing to be involved with Sharon. Adam insisted he wasn't using her, and Vance asked if there was anything he needed to know. He told Vance that he confessed to Sharon about his crimes. Vance looked through Sharon's file and learned about her shoplifting history and her trip to the sanitarium. Vance and Skye grinned in anticipation, but Adam refused to let Vance do anything to Sharon. Afterward, Skye told Vance to go after Sharon, despite Adam's pleads against it. When Adam learned of this, he confronted them about them going behind his back. Skye tried to convince Adam to change his mind when Vance warned Adam that if Sharon went on about his confession at the trial, he was going to prison. Adam said they would do this his way and that backing off Sharon was an order.
By the time of the trial, Sharon was first on the witness list. She told the DA that she would completely spill the beans about Adam's confessions. After learning about how serious and intense Vance is from her sister, Traci, Ashley Abbott
warned Sharon about Vance. However, she didn't seem concerned. After opening remarks, the DA asked Sharon to come up to the stand, where he asked about her and Adam's courtship, marriage, the note in the plane crash and the night of the ball (see Adam Newman or Sharon Newman for a complete history). Sharon recounted how Adam confessed everything that he did to her and to Ashley. Vance asked to consult with Adam. He and Skye told Adam to let Vance do his job. Adam said his mind was made up. Sharon waited on the stand as Adam told Vance that he was not to wipe the floor with Sharon or else he was fired.
Vance told the court he had no questions. Nicholas Newman
, Adam's brother, whispered to Victor Newman
, their father, that Adam promised Sharon that his lawyer wouldn't hurt her. Vance cross-examined Ashley and raised her past history with the abortion and being institutionalized (see Ashley Abbott
for a more complete history). Ashley was forced to admit that she had been in a sanitarium four times. He suggested that she simply made Adam a scapegoat after the truth about the hysterical pregnancy came out. When Ashley was in tears, Vance finished by pointing out that she had no physical evidence that Adam did any of the things she claimed. Out in the corridor, the Abbotts rehashed the way Vance badgered Ashley. Abby came out seething and said that she wanted to kill Vance. Back in the courtroom, Vance questioned Abby. He asked if this was a publicity stunt and when she said no, he pulled out a poster of her naked on a horse. Jack Abbott was next. Vance pointed out that he worked with Adam to frame Victor for murder and got him sent to jail. Next, Vance questioned Victor. Vance said he denied getting Ashley help when she was mentally ill. Last Vance questioned Nick, who Vance said always had it out for Adam. Victor whispered to Abby that Adam found a lawyer as contemptible as he was. Vance told the judge that everyone who had taken the stand had an ulterior motive where Adam was concerned. Eventually, the judge ruled that the evidence against Adam wasn't valid, and the trial was over. The Abbotts and the Newmans vowed that Adam would pay someday.
Representing Abby, Victoria and Nicholas Newman
Since the Adam Newman case, Vance turned his attention to the young Abby Newman
, who was being pressured by her uncle, Jack Abbott, to file a lawsuit against her father, Victor, for mishandling her trust fund. Vance offered his services to a reluctant Abby, but she ultimately agreed. Later on, Abby's sister, Victoria Newman Abbott
joined the lawsuit and seemingly hijacked the case away from Abby. Regardless, Vance sparred off with Victor's longtime attorney, Michael Baldwin
, regarding the operations of Newman Enterprises and the trust funds of Victoria and Abby.
Adam Newman ended up testifying for Victor in his trial to suggest while he was CEO of Newman Enterprises, he forged trust documents. Thus, Victor had no idea of what was real or not. However, Neil Winters
disproved Adam's testimony, and each of the three Newman children won $500 million each. Nicholas Newman
joined his sisters in their lawsuit against their father upon finding out that Victor was lying about his involvement with Skye Newman.
Representing Adam Newman Again, and Later Sharon Newman
Around the same time, Skye Newman disappeared and Adam, who was back in a romance with Sharon Newman, was accused of her murder. With little money left, Sharon offered to pay for his legal fees and brought in Vance and his new legal partner, Leslie Michaelson. When Adam testified for Victor against his siblings wishes, Leslie was shocked to see Adam, but he learned that apart of this deal, Victor pledged to come forward to the DA regarding his involvement in Sharon's case and would win a trust of his own. After some detective work by Sharon, Adam's charges were dropped, but as a result of her work, she was now accused of murder. In Hawaii, Sharon found Skye, but after an argument, Skye fell to her death in a volcano. It was soon discovered by Adam, Jack, and Phyllis Summers that Victor set Skye up in Hawaii and he was in Hawaii when Sharon was there to make sure no one learned the truth.
In Sharon's trial, despite the testimony of Victor, and Vance's sharp legal tactics, Sharon was found guilty. Adam feared that this would happen, so he secretly arranged for her to escape afterward. Upon escaping, she was car-jacked and presumed to be dead after the carjackers got into a serious accident.
Current Life
Vance has not been involved in any legal cases since Sharon's murder trial. When Sharon was found alive in New Mexico and brought back to Genoa City for sentencing, Victor hired a new lawyer, Avery Bailey Clark, to help get Sharon out of prison. It is unlikely that Vance will continued to be involved in Sharon's legal woes.

Jill later invited Colin to a family dinner with her and a mortified Cane at the Chancellor Estate. Colin then, in front of Jill, indulged in subtle taunts designed to get Cane’s attention while Cane struggled to maintain his composure. Colin went on and told Jill about a "friend" he and Cane had in common, a young woman named Samantha, who is really Cane's sister and Colin's daughter. Colin tells of who Samantha died several years back. Colin unnerved Cane with additional revelations about his past.
Marriage to Jill Fenmore
Jill ended up falling in love with Colin, unaware that he was just using her. On February 2, 2011, they wed, but Cane, who was trying to stop Jill from marrying his father, was shot to death by Blake outside the church. Jill, upon learning the news, was devastated because she loved Cane like a son. After the death of Cane, Colin had been comforting Jill. It actually appeared as though Colin was saddened by his son's death. However, Katherine Chancellor Murphy
was still angered by Jill's marriage with Colin, and she felt that Colin was up to no good. Since Cane's death, Colin had been visiting Cane's widow, Lily Ashby
and keeping an eye on her twins. Lily thought she had been seeing Cane's ghost, and she began to question her sanity. In May 2011, it was discovered that the ghost was actually Cane's twin brother, Caleb Atkinson. Together, Caleb and Colin put together a plan to make the Winters family believe that Lily lost her mind. Colin's goal was to have Caleb help him kidnap Cane's children, Charlie and Matilda, and bring them to Australia so they could be raised to help Colin work in the Australian mob scene. However, Colin's estranged wife, Genevieve returned to Genoa City, intent on tormenting Colin and making sure he failed in his scheme to steal away their grandchildren.
Family Secrets
The night that his plan was put into place, it already hit trouble when Jill, figuring that Colin was going to surprise her with the babies, followed him around. However, when she confronted Colin at an abandoned estate, she sees Cane, who is pretending to be Caleb. In reality, Caleb was the twin who died on the church steps the day of Jill and Colin's wedding. Cane has been playing his father the entire time into thinking that he was Caleb. When Jill saw Cane, alive and well, she fainted. Jill eventually came to just as Colin and "Caleb" were ready to steal the babies. Colin explained the situation to Jill, and she was horrified to learn that their marriage was a ruse. Then, Neil Winters
, Lily's father, came by just as Colin walked into the estate, where he heard music playing. Walking around, he saw his late daughter's ashes and pictures of her laid in the formation of her body. Genevieve confronted Colin, and they argued about his role in the death of Samantha. Genevieve explained the truth about which one of their twin sons was really alive. Colin, however, didn't seem surprised. As they arguing, she pushed him over the edge of the balcony of the house. As he hung on for his life, Jill saw him and ran up to try to save him. Once there, Genevieve explained that she was the real Mrs. Atkinson, and Jill suddenly let Colin go. Colin ended up surviving his fall and was tormented at the hospital by Genevieve. When Jill rushed in, he explained that he was still legally married to Genevieve. Thus, their marriage was invalid. Colin ended up being released from the hospital, and the charges were dropped against him because of diplomatic immunity
.
Winning Jill Back and Fighting With Genevieve
Colin later ran to find Jill. He declared that he was going to stay in Genoa City to win her back. Jill, however, refused to forgive Colin for using her and trying to steal Lily and Cane's children. Jill began to slightly warm up to Colin again after he proved that he really wanted her back. Still, Colin once again ruined any chance of rekindling his romance with Jill by sleeping with Genevieve. The next day, Colin told Jill that he filed for divorce from Genevieve, and he went as far as to call Genevieve on the phone in front of Jill and tell her the news. When Colin goes to Genevieve's house to give her the divorce papers, she has the last laugh by telling him that she already told Jill that they slept together. When Colin tries to save himself and come clean to Jill, she refuses to listen to him because she already learned the truth from Genevieve. Colin continues to woo Jill, kicking things up a notch after Genevieve begins to date Jack Abbott. Jill and Genevieve get hired for the same advertising job at Jabot, much to both of their dismay. Colin sent Jill flowers at her new job at Jabot, and Jill finally gave in and kissed Colin on September 1, 2011. The two ended up having sex on Genevieve's desk, which she later found out about.
Genevieve continued to taunt Colin with her new found "friendship" with Jack. When Jill ordered Genevieve to go out of the country on a business trip, Genevieve called Colin to discuss family matters from Australia at her house before she was scheduled to leave. She sent Colin to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine, and she told him that she would use his phone to retrieve the messages that Colin's men were leaving him on his phone. She then preceded to lock him in the wine cellar, leading Jill to believe that Colin went overseas with her. Gloria Bardwell
went to Genevieve's house after the house alarm went off, and when she found Colin in the cellar, she, too, got locked inside. While looking for a secret door, Colin stumbled upon Genevieve's safe. He got Gloria drunk so he could secretly try to open it. When Cane found out that Genevieve had sent Jill a bottle of his family's wine, he went to her house and tried to go in the wine cellar, but he found that the door was locked. Passed out on the floor, Gloria did not hear Cane knocking, and Colin stayed quiet so he could continue to work on the safe. Finally, he unlocked the combination, using the date that he and Genevieve first had sex as the numbers. After looking at several stacks of nonsense papers, Colin discovered record books, and he realized that Genevieve was tracking his bank accounts. Soon after, a paper slipped through the door to the wine cellar. In Genevieve's handwriting, it stated that she locked Colin in the wine cellar in order to give her time to drain all of his bank accounts into her own.
Jill's sister, Lauren Fenmore, was convinced that Colin did not abandon Jill, so she hired Paul Williams
to find out his location. When Jill found out that Colin did not leave the country with Genevieve, she and Cane went back to the house and found Colin and Gloria together in the wine cellar. Jill and Colin quickly left together, but Cane stayed behind to investigate, discovering the safe. He could not manage to get the lock open before Colin came back and found him there. Colin accused Cane of conspiring with Genevieve to get revenge on him, but Cane denied all such accusations, swearing on Samantha's life that all he wanted was for Genevieve and Colin to stay away from him. When he reunited with Jill, Colin could not help himself from asking Jill if Genevieve was really on her business trip. Jill became upset when it seemed as though Colin could not get Genevieve off his mind, but she quickly forgave him, and the two romantically reunited at Jill's house.
Murder Schemes and Arrest
For a long time, Cane had been working with Ronan Malloy to expose Colin, as Cane thought Colin was setting up a scheme to kill Genevieve and even Gloria Bardwell. He set up a fake phone call to get Gloria to Genevieve's house, however, due to a family crisis, Gloria had to cancel. Cane's ex-wife Lily
soon calls Genevieve and asks her if she can come over to her house to talk. However, when Lily arrives, an explosion, caused and set up by Colin, occurs. Cane rushes Lily out of the burning house, thus saving her life. Genevieve, who wasn't home at the time, gets a call from firefighters moments later.
During this entire time, Colin was with Jill in his suite at the Genoa City Athletic Club
, while Jill had handcuffed him to the bed, trying to get the truth out of him. Jill, eventually realizes that he can't be trusted and calls Ronan, who arrests him.
Meanwhile, Genevieve rushes to the hospital to check on her housekeeper Myrna (who has never been seen, only mentioned), who was in the house at the time of the explosion. However, they won't let her in because she's not family. Genevieve and Gloria soon rush to the GCC to witness Colin's arrest and also confront him.

Character history
Lorie Brooks was the birth daughter of Bruce Henderson and Jennifer Brooks. Stuart Brooks was her legal father.
In 1973, Lorie and Mark Henderson were engaged to be married. Bruce Henderson was Mark's father, and he unknowingly was also Lorie's father. Lorie and Mark canceled the wedding upon learning they were half-siblings. Jennifer, Lorie's mother, had an extra-marital affair with Bruce, which produced their daughter, Lorie, while she was married to Stuart Brooks.
Lorie was friends with Jed Andrews. He truly loved her, but she only had eyes for Brad Elliot at the time. Leslie Brooks, who was Lorie's half-sister through their mother, and Lorie first fought over Brad and then later Lance Prentiss. A triangle stretched into a square when Lance's sea captain brother, Lucas Prentiss, arrived. Lucas was the youngest of Vanessa Prentiss' two sons. Despite Vanessa's plotting, she couldn't keep Lorie away from her boys. Vanessa strongly disapproved of Lance's relationship with Lorie, but Lorie and Lance got married anyway. The marriage ended in 1978.
Vanessa tried to shoot Lorie in 1977. Jill Foster
managed to seduce Stuart Brooks, but Stuart's children saw Jill as a gold digger. Their interferences nearly ruined their relationship. However, Jill was able to fake a pregnancy and marry Stuart. A short time later, Jill focused her attention on Derek Thurston and divorced Stuart, as he moved on with Jill's mother Liz Foster.
When Lance and Lorie reconciled in 1981, Vanessa committed suicide by jumping off her balcony. In reality, she had just found out that she had a terminal illness, and she framed Lorie for her murder. Soon after, Lorie decided to battle her sister for the custody of her sister's son, Brooks Prentiss.
Later, Lorie got caught up in a love triangle between new Genoa City business Victor Newman
, his wife Julia Newman and Brock Reynolds
. Lorie began an affair with Victor as Julia began an affair with Brock. Julia admitted to Victor that she was falling in love with Brock, but she and Brock were not lovers. Julia agreed to break up with Brock only if Victor would commit completely to their marriage. Victor was not convinced and turned to Lorie for attention. Later on, Brock caught Victor and Lorie kissing, so he tried to resume his romance with Julia. Brock finally left town because of Julia's inability to end her marriage to Victor. However, Julia ended up leaving Victor after her affair with photographer Michael Scott.
Around the same time, Victor acquired Julia's ex-husband's company, Prentiss Industries. In 1982, Lorie and her ex-husband's brother, Lucas Prentiss, came up with a scheme that Lorie would seduce a newly single Victor into marriage and then, just before the wedding, convince him to sign over to her the controlling stock shares in Prentiss. It worked. Before the ceremony, Victor handed Lorie a document that gave her control of Prentiss Industries. Shortly thereafter, Victor searched for Lorie who had suddenly disappeared. Instead, he found a letter from Lorie, with her engagement ring, informing him that she wasn't interested in marrying him. Despite the scheme, Lorie did seem to fall in love with Victor. However, she packed her bags and arranged a meeting with Lucas before leaving town. To Lucas' surprise, Lorie announced that she had won control of Prentiss Industries from Victor and was returning the company to not Lucas, but his brother and her one-time husband, Lance Prentiss. Lorie left Genoa City soon after.
In 1984, Lorie Brooks returned to Genoa City briefly to see Nikki Reed and Victor marry. Over the course of the next two decades, Lorie married Maxwell Hollister. In 2002, Victor learned that a hostile takeover was threatening Julia Newman Martin's design firm, Martin Designs, so he dropped everything to go to Lake Forest, Illinois. They met with Lorie's husband, Max Hollister, although Victor had no idea that he was Lorie's husband, nor did Max know that his wife had any connection to Victor. Max refused to accept Victor's offer to help out Julia with her company by buying all the stock in Martin Designs, even at ten percent over the value. Before Hollister could leave, Victor promised to create a similar design division at Newman Enterprises and put Julia in charge of it, which would attack Hollister's company at its weak spots and run him out of business. Soon after, Max tried to publicly destroy Victor. He later learned of Lorie's past with Victor when she confronted him in Genoa City about signing divorce papers. Max ended up getting Lorie involved in a dirty scheme that involved breaking up Victor and Nikki, as they prepared for their next wedding. Max had Lorie invite Victor to her hotel room with a sexy note signed by Nikki. She had seduction in mind and a camera feeding the television in Max's adjoining room, where Max was treating Nikki to a private lunch.
Once the day came, their plan was enacted and seemed to go as planned. As Lorie and Victor reminisced, and he ended up apologizing to her for the way he treated her. Lorie was so overwhelmed by his sincerity after what she had done to him that she couldn't even turn on the camera. Max got tired of waiting and dragged Nikki into Lorie's room in time to catch Lorie and Victor in a parting hug. Nikki and Victor both realized it was a setup. Nikki walked out, leaving Victor there to threaten them both. After Victor left, Max and Lorie fought, and Lorie felt ashamed that she ruined her relationship with Victor for nothing.

Chris became furious with Greg and eventually quit her job after she learned that her father, Stuart Brooks, had financially helped Greg's new law firm in return for her employment. Greg overcame his feelings for Chris when he fell in love with a woman named Gwen Sherman, who he immediately planned to wed, but he postponed the wedding after he found out that Gwen was a prostitute. Greg tried to help lead Gwen out of prostitution, but Gwen's pimp used physical force to pressure the terrified young woman into continuing to accept clients. Greg finally persuaded Gwen to press charges against her pimp, and Gwen was freed of prostitution. Greg and Gwen's relationship ended when she experienced a spiritual awakening and devoted her life to God as a nun, leaving Greg once again a loser at love.

Character History
Originally a resident of Washington, in 1980 Eve lived in Genoa City and worked as an assistant to businessman Victor Newman
at Newman Enterprises. Victor's wife, Julia Newman, felt lonely as Victor worked for hours on end away from the Newman Ranch. Julia ended up becoming close friends with Katherine Chancellor's
son, Brock Reynolds
. Although Julia and Brock were never lovers, Victor felt jealous, and he slept with Eve in retaliation. Eve, who had feelings for Victor, was saddened when he informed her that it was only a one-night stand. Eve ended up leaving Genoa City soon after.
A year later, Eve returned, now working as newspaper mogul Stuart Brooks' assistant. When Eve ran into Julia, she told her that she wanted Victor. However, Victor was out of town at the time. Julia, nonetheless, was frightened of the possibility of losing Victor, noting his recent affair with Lorie Brooks. Julia ended up having an affair with her photography instructor, Michael Scott. When Victor returned, Eve made several attempts to woo him, but he ended up making a deal with Eve for her to leave town. The deal allowed Eve to leave town and work with one of his other companies, and Victor would accept that Eve's son, Cole Howard
, was his son and therefore provide for him. Eve accepted his offer and left again. With Eve gone, Victor ended up imprisoning Michael Scott in the Newman Ranch basement once he learned that Julia was pregnant. Julia ended up discovering this, and she rescued Michael, but she suffered a miscarriage in the process.
In 1982, Eve ran into the now divorced Julia in Paris, and she heard about Lorie Brooks abandoning Victor at the altar. She told Julia that she was involved with a wealthy count, Max Siebalt. Soon after, Eve went to Genoa City to be sure that Victor was going to continue to provide for their son, Cole Howard
, and she learned that Victor had put him in his will. During this time, Victor was having an affair with former stripper, Nikki Reed. Max and Eve began to scheme to get Victor's fortune because Max was broke. Eve convinced Victor to hire her back as his personal assistant. When Victor's manservant, Charlie, left, Eve offered to cook Victor's meals for him, lacing them with a slow-acting poison that, in small doses, could not be traced. Victor began to lose weight and appeared ill, but after his dog ate some of his poisoned food and died, Victor became suspicious. Julia overheard part of their plan on the phone, and she warned Victor that he was in danger, but it was too late. Soon after, an antidote was found, and Victor survived.
Julia proved that Eve was involved in the plot against Victor by having the poison analyzed. Victor realized that Eve had tried to poison him so that their son, Cole, could inherit half of his wealth. With the help of Julia and his friend, Douglas Austin, Victor began a scheme to trap Eve into confessing, and he even proposed to her, which the greedy Eve quickly accepted. The day of Victor and Eve's wedding, she arrived at the Newman estate to learn that Victor had died. Eve arranged to have Victor's coffin placed in the Newman living room, and she took over as the grieving fiancée. Max, sensing that she was losing her grip on reality, quickly married her, since it appeared that Victor had left his estate to Eve. When Julia confided to Eve that she thought Victor was murdered, and that she wanted to exhume his body for an autopsy, Eve sent Max to the graveyard to dig up the corpse. At the cemetery, Max was so shocked to see Victor alive that he fell against a pitchfork and died. Eve tried to stab Victor, and she was consequently committed to a sanitarium.
By 1984, Victor was planning on marrying Nikki. When Eve read about this in the newspaper at the sanitarium, she tried to switch places with her roommate, who was about to be released but wanted to stay in the sanitarium. Eve knocked out a caterer and changed clothes with her to get into the hotel where Victor and Nikki were getting married. After the wedding, Eve went to Nikki's room, and she prepared to stab her, but she was interrupted by Nikki's sister, Dr. Casey Reed. So, Eve climbed into Victor's trunk which was about to be placed on the plane for his honeymoon. At the last moment, the newlyweds changed their minds and decided to stay home. Victor learned that Eve had escaped; he found her and returned her to the sanitarium. A couple of months later, while Victor and Nikki were vacationing, Eve and her former love, Rick Daros, escaped from the sanitarium and returned to Genoa City. Rick had amnesia, forgetting he had tried to kill Nikki earlier in the year, and he became Eve's lover again. After breaking into the ranch, Eve stole money from Victor's safe, and the two escaped to Europe.
Ten years went by without a mention of Eve or her son, then she showed up in 1993, looking as glamorous as ever. Her past crimes totally overlooked; Victor simply fondly recalled her working for him years before. When Eve brought up Cole, whom she still claimed was Victor's, Victor wanted nothing to do with him. Eve left in a huff, slipping Cole's picture into Victor's book. Some time afterward, a lonely Victor contacted Eve and asked her to bring Cole to Genoa City. Eve returned to Genoa City with Cole, a young aspiring novelist. Cole built up a relationship in Genoa City with Victor's daughter with Nikki, Victoria Newman
, while Eve left. Soon after, Cole wrote to his mother saying he had fallen for Victoria. Eve, while on a cruise, read the letter and was horrified by the thought of her son unknowingly getting involved with his half-sister. She arranged to leave the ship, and she flew to Genoa City. While on the plane, she became ill from being bitten by a mosquito.
Upon arrival to Genoa City, she was rushed to the hospital, and Cole was notified of his mother's condition. Eve lingered for weeks, in and out of a coma, and, while somewhat lucid, tried and failed to tell Cole that Victor was his father. Not long after Eve's funeral, Cole and Victoria Newman eloped in Las Vegas. Luckily, Eve was wrong. While going through Eve's belongings, Victor discovered a letter from another man to her which cast doubt on Victor being Cole's father. Victor immediately arranged to have blood tests run on Cole, himself and Eve's corpse. The father ended up being Eve's former love and partner in crime, Rick Daros.
Four years later, while Cole and Victoria's baby struggled for her life, Victoria told Cole she wanted to name her Eve, after his mother. Soon after, Victoria learned from Cole that their baby had died.

Character History
In 1977, she and businessman Victor Newman
were married. Three years later, she and Victor moved to Genoa City so that he could help run Chancellor Industries for Katherine Chancellor
. He was very protective of Julia, his young, beautiful wife, and kept her secluded at the ranch with their houseman, Charlie. Victor was so consumed by his work, he was barely there himself. Julia met and became friends with Katherine Chancellor's son Brock Reynolds
. Victor got jealous and had a one-night stand with his secretary, Eve Howard, in retaliation. Julia admitted she was falling in love with Brock, but they were not lovers, and she agreed to break if off if Victor would commit completely to their marriage. But Victor was not convinced and turned to Lorie Brooks for attention. Brock caught Victor and Lorie kissing, so he tried to resume his romance with Julia, but he finally left town because of Julia's inability to end her marriage to Victor. Thinking it would convince Victor of her love for him, Julia told him that she wanted to have a baby. Victor responded by having a vasectomy without telling her.
When offered a job modeling for photographer Michael Scott at his studio, Julia jumped at the chance. For once, Victor didn't say no. Michael admired the dark-haired beauty, and they became close friends. While Victor
was out of town, Eve suddenly resurfaced. Eve let Julia know that she was there to get Victor back. Feeling vulnerable and confused by Eve's presence, Julia slept with Michael. Julia was immediately overwhelmed with shame. Her friendship with Brock
had remained strictly platonic. But now that she had slept with Michael, Julia had actually cheated on Victor for the first time. When Julia began talking about her friend, Michael, Victor became jealous and began following them and taping their conversations. Then Julia turned up pregnant.
Convinced the baby was Michael's, Victor kidnapped Michael and held him prisoner in the bomb shelter under the Newman Ranch. Victor had outfitted it with cameras so he could observe and torture Michael by making him watch Victor and Julia making love in their bedroom above. Victor fed Michael sparingly, and taunted him often. Dinner once even turned out to be a dead rat. Victor hired Paul Williams to feed Michael when he was out of town, and explained to Paul that Michael was a retarded relative who was not allowed out because he was violent and delusional. Eventually, Julia discovered that Michael was being held hostage. She and Paul freed him. When Victor intervened, they had a struggle and Julia tumbled down a flight of stairs. Julia was rushed to the hospital where she miscarried, and Victor discovered that despite his vasectomy, he had actually fathered Julia's baby. Soon after, Julia and Michael both left town, but not together.
In 1982, Eve Howard ran into the now divorced Julia in Paris and heard about Lorie Brooks abandoning Victor
at the altar. She told Julia that she was involved with a wealthy count, Max Siebalt. Soon after, Eve went to Genoa City to be sure that Victor was going to continue to provide for their son, Cole Howard
, and learned that Victor had put him in his will. Max and Eve began to scheme to get Victor's fortune, because Max was broke. Eve convinced Victor to hire her back as his personal assistant, and for a while, everything seemed fine. When Victor's manservant, Charlie, left, Eve offered to cook Victor's meals for him, lacing them with a slow-acting poison that, in small doses, could not be traced. Victor began to lose weight and appeared ill, and after Victor's dog ate some of his poisoned food and died, Victor became suspicious. Julia overheard part of their plan on the phone and warned Victor that he was in danger, but it was too late. An antidote was found and Victor survived.
Julia proved that Eve was involved by having the poison analyzed. Victor realized that Eve had tried to poison him so that their son, Cole
, could inherit half his wealth. With the help of Julia and his friend, Douglas Austin, Victor began a scheme to trap Eve into confessing, and even proposed to her which the greedy Eve quickly accepted. The day of Victor and Eve's wedding, she arrived at the Newman estate to learn that Victor had died. Eve arranged to have Victor's coffin placed in the Newman living room, and took over as the grieving fiancée. Max, sensing that she was losing her grip on reality, quickly married her, since it appeared that Victor had left his estate to Eve. When Julia confided to Eve that she thought Victor was murdered, and that she wanted to exhume his body for an autopsy, Eve sent Max to the graveyard to dig up the corpse. At the cemetery, Max was so shocked to see Victor alive that he fell against a pitchfork and died. Eve tried to stab Victor and was committed to a sanitarium.
A year later in 1984, Victor
was getting married to former stripper Nikki Reed. Julia was at the ceremony and Eve Howard even escaped the sanitarium to try to stab Nikki. However, she failed. Around the same time, Julia tested another modeling career as Victor's enemy Jack Abbott hired Julia as Jabot Cosmetics' top model instead of his mistress Diane Jenkins
. Diane felt so betrayed by this that she arranged for Jack's pregnant wife, Patty Williams
, to walk in and her and Jack having sex. This shocked Patty and she fell, causing a miscarriage. As for Julia, she had an affair with Ashley Abbott's
fiancée, Eric Garrison. Julia ended up pregnant, but Eric never knew that Julia had given birth to his child.
By 1985, Julia and her little girl, Jamie Martin, left Genoa City, and Julia ended up marrying Charles Martin. Jamie grew up assuming that Charles was her father, not Eric. During this time, Julia also built up a major interior design firm, Martin Designs, in Lake Forest, Illinois.
In March 2002 a newspaper article alerted Victor Newman
that a hostile takeover was threatening Julia's Martin Designs, so he dropped everything to go to Lake Forest. Julia was happy and surprised to see him. He told her that she looked wonderful and that he knew about the takeover bid, then he offered to help. After some reminiscing, Julia told him how she and her late husband, Charles, had created their successful design business together, and said that she didn't think Victor was the kind of person that could work side-by-side with his wife in business. She joked that he wasn't as controlling as when they were married, but she was young and he was older and set in his ways. She asked about his kids and his love life and was pleased that he dating Nikki Newman again, whom she liked. Julia told him about her daughter, Jamie, who was in college.
They met with Maxwell Hollister who refused Victor's offer to buy all the stock in Julia's company, even at ten percent over the value. Before Hollister could leave, Victor promised to create a similar design division at Newman Enterprises
, put Julia in charge of it, attack Hollister's company at its weak spots and run him out of business. Thwarted, Hollister signed Victor's purchase agreement and left. Julia thanked Victor for saving the company that meant so much to her. After a few more reminiscences, Victor asked her what she thought of their time together when she looked back. She said that he was domineering and always in control of any relationship that he entered. They hugged and even kissed then said goodbye. She seemed sad to see him leave. An angry Max tracked down Leanna Love
. He told her he'd read Ruthless and knew she was once married to Victor, then told her how Victor humiliated him, and that he wanted revenge. Leanna explained that Victor's actions for Martin Designs was much more than business, explaining that Julia was Victor's first wife. Max agreed to do Leanna's TV show and give her the scoop on Julia and Victor, in exchange for some recent photos her photographer shot of Victor and Ramona Caceres.
Nikki Newman saw the show and was upset that Victor had visited both Ramona and Julia without telling her. It wasn't long before Max approached Nikki, and suggested she join him against Victor. Victor tried to explain to Nikki his soul-searching visits to Julia and Ramona, as well as Hope Wilson
. He said that he didn't want to repeat his mistakes of the past, and proposed to Nikki with an engagement ring. Nikki was also reluctant to try again, and said she would give him an answer when she returned to town in two weeks. Max went to Victor and let him know that he was courting Nikki for revenge. Victor ended up telephoning Hope, Julia, and Ramona. They convinced Leanna to do a retraction of the story. When Nikki returned, she accepted Victor's proposal. Then Lorie Brooks showed up in town looking for Max to sign their divorce papers. When Max found out that Lorie was once a love of Victor's, he tried to get her to join him in his revenge. She ended up agreeing, but their scheme which involved Lorie's seduction of Victor, while Nikki watched on videotape fell apart as Lorie ended up falling for Victor and couldn't follow through on the scheme. Victor and Nikki ended up remarrying in September 2002.

For over twenty years, soft-spoken Miguel Rodriguez was the loyal servant of the Newman family. He first started working for Victor Newman
, but later took care of the entire Newman family and eventually became the head of the Newman Ranch staff. He was best known for his delicious cooking and for setting up parties for the entire family. He was always there when someone needed advice, but he never really had a storyline of his own until 1997. Before that, he was only known to have briefly dated Esther Valentine
, a servant at the Chancellor mansion. Miguel had said he was originally only going to work for the Newmans until his brother graduated from medical school and then he would be free to explore a more intellectual career of his own. That goal never materialized for Miguel, as he apparently preferred to spend his years working for the Newmans.
In 1997, Miguel got his first real storyline when he fell in love with Veronica Landers
--but he knew her as "Sarah," a new servant at the ranch. Veronica was plotting revenge on her ex-husband Joshua Landers, who was at the time married to Nikki Newman. "Sarah" got her revenge by fatally shooting Joshua and wounding Nikki. Miguel did not know of "Sarah's" crimes and continued to support her and looked for possible jobs for her, until it was finally revealed that "Sarah" was really Veronica. She died in Miguel's arms.
Miguel would continue to serve as the Newman's butler/house manager until 2008, though he wasn't seen onscreen after 2006. A new house manager, Estella Munoz, was introduced in April 2008. On June 5, 2008, it was revealed that he had officially left his position at the Newman Ranch in order to care for his aunt, who had been diagnosed with diabetes.

As a farewell gift, Nikki and Victor decided to send him a small gold clock that had sat on the fireplace mantle for many years and which Miguel had often wound up.

to look like Phyllis. Maggie let 'Phyllis' out, only to be choked by her and left for dead. Sheila then imprisoned Paul in the cage with Maggie and shot Maggie.

Then, a fellow detective came to ask Maggie about her shooting and Paul was asked to step outside. Maggie never told anyone of Michael, Paul, or Lauren's involvement and she and Paul resumed dating. Months later, Paul gave Maggie another shock when he revealed that the new Assistant D.A. in town was his daughter Heather Stevens

Rafael Torres was a lawyer introduced during Ana Hamilton's foster care battle. He was a longtime friend of Billy Abbott
. Rafe also worked as Adam Wilson
's lawyer when he was prosecuted for forging the incriminating diary of his father, Victor Newman, and helped out Billy in the custody battle for his daughter with Chloe, Delia. It was also revealed that the Newman's housekeeper, Estella Munoz, was Rafe's aunt. On April 24, 2009, Rafe was revealed to be gay
when Lily Winters
, unaware of his sexual orientation, attempted to set him up on a date with Colleen Carlton
. After a matter of fact revelation of his being gay, the two agreed to be friends. After his aunt, Estella, was accused of gaslighting
Ashley Abbott
, he became determined to prove his aunt's innocence. After talking with Nikki Newman about who might really be behind the gaslighting, he became suspicious of his friend and former client Adam. However, when Rafe went to the Newman Ranch to accuse a house-arrested Adam, Adam tried to distract Rafe by seducing him. He lied to Rafe telling him he had feelings for him. A conflicted Rafe decided to believe him, revealing that he had actually been feeling the same way about Adam. It wasn't what Adam expected to hear, but this did not stop his seduction. On June 29, 2009, the two men had a sexual encounter. Though it was not shown onscreen, the seduction scene stopped just before a kiss between them and then, when their scene later resumed, Adam and Rafe were shown putting back on their clothes. Post-sexual encounter, Rafe told Adam that he understood that Adam was in love with Heather and knew how negatively Genoa City viewed him, so perhaps Adam was just sexually confused. Rafe explained that he needed to leave, but told Adam that he would stay with Adam (presumedly to have more sex) if it was what he wanted. Adam, who was visually shaken by the entire homosexual encounter he'd initiated just to keep Rafe from discovering his lies, tried to remain calm and told Rafe to go citing that because Adam was on house-arrest at the Ranch, Victor would often walk into his bedroom without knocking. As soon as Rafe had left, Adam immediately called Heather
and asked her to come over. Once she arrived, he almost immediately initiated sex with her—seemingly to get his mind off what had just happened between him and Rafe. As the story of Ashley's gaslighting continued (and was seemingly resolved—with his Aunt Estella being proven innocent and insane Patty Williams being wrongly accused instead of the guilty Adam), Rafe was not seen as often. Rafe has recently been acting as Billy Abbott's attorney, and has been helping Billy write an article to expose Adam.

Although, Genevieve revealed the truth about Cane on May 31, 2011, that it was Cane's twin brother, Caleb Atkinson, who was shot and killed, and not Cane. Genevieve's plan to get revenge on Colin came together, as she finally came to face to face with him when he tried to kidnap their grandchildren and take them to Australia. Genevieve sets up a shrine to their late daughter, Samantha, in her house for Colin to see. Genevieve believes that Colin is responsible for their daughter's death. Genevieve then knocked Colin over the balcony of her mansion, as he held on, until Jill showed to help him, only for her to let him slip, after Genevieve revealed that Colin is her legal husband.

After having gotten her revenge on Colin, who was hospitalized and set to be later jailed after he recovered (although the charges were dropped due to diplomatic immunity), Genevieve set her sights on Jack Abbott, but she didn't reveal her name. Jack later learned who she was after she had a public dispute with Colin. Genevieve was upset when Colin was immediately let out of jail, as he had been put under security surveillance. Genevieve gained a bad reputation around a majority of Genoa City residents after playing out her scheme against Colin. Genevieve has met both Victoria Newman
Victoria Newman
Victoria Nicole Newman is a fictional character from the American soap opera The Young and the Restless...
and Abby Newman when she came to them about some marketing ideas for their Newman Enterprises company, Beauty of Nature. In addition, she let Victor hear her ideas when she met him at the gym. The two had a small flirtatious relationship, including Victor showing her how to use a punching bag. Colin came to visit Genevieve, and the visit culminated in the two having sex. The next day, Colin called Genevieve in front of Jill and told her that he wanted an official divorce, in an effort to win Jill's love back. Genevieve was extremely hurt and threw a temper tantrum in her house, throwing glass vases and sculptures everywhere and hysterically crying. She got her revenge by telling Jill that she slept with Colin before he filed for divorce. When Colin came to give her the divorce papers, she rubbed this in his face, even after he told her he hoped that they could remain friends. Afterward, Jack came over to visit Genevieve and comfort her after hearing about the divorce. The two began to passionately kiss, and Jack tried to lead her upstairs. Still, Genevieve said that she had only slept with one man: Colin. She didn't think she was ready to be with anyone, and she wasn't sure that she ever would be. She told Jack about how she met Colin and their long, troubled past together. She also mentioned Samantha to him. After their talk, Genevieve decided that she was ready after all to give love a try, and she led Jack upstairs herself as they kissed again.
Genevieve and Jack continue their romance, which can also be called a competition against Jill and Colin, since the four seem to run into each other constantly and try to outdo each other. Jack also hired Genevieve to be an advertising consultant, along with Jill, at Jabot, much to the two women's dismays. Genevieve and Jill's rivalry was extremely tense, which culminated with Jill and Colin having sex on Genevieve's desk. Once Genevieve realized what had happened, she became livid with Jill. Jill then ordered Genevieve to go overseas on a business trip. Jill could not go herself because her granddaughter, Delia Abbott, was diagnosed with leukemia. Genevieve was reluctant, but she had no choice but to go. She plotted a scheme against Jill and Colin before she left. She called Colin over her house to tell him that some of his henchmen from Australia were trying to get in contact with him through her. In reality, no such thing had occurred, but Genevieve offered to retrieve the voicemails from Colin's phone while he went to her wine cellar to get a bottle of wine. She locked him in the wine cellar, and she turned off his phone. She left Colin's sunglasses on a table in her living room, and she left her computer up with two boarding passes for her and Colin to leave the country. When Jill came over looking for Colin, she believed that he left the country with Genevieve. In reality, Genevieve was the only one to leave.
After her departure, Genevieve hired people to torture Colin while he was locked in the cell. They delivered cans of tuna to him, which Genevieve knew that he hated. In addition, someone slipped a note under the door that revealed that Genevieve locked Colin in the wine cellar in order to drain his bank accounts into her own. Colin had discovered only moments before when he opened her safe that Genevieve was tracking his bank account activity. Still, Cane and Jill managed to save Colin and Gloria Bardwell

.
Avery pretended to flirt with Adam, in order to figure out if he actually destroyed evidence that could clear Sharon's name. After their first "flirtation", however, Adam realized who she was and started to ignore her. Adam let her know that he knew who she was. Avery found out that Adam did in fact destroy the evidence because he wanted to see Sharon suffer. By blackmailing Spencer, the Genoa City District Attorney, Avery was able to create a new trial for Sharon, much to Adam's dismay. Her arrival in Genoa City also seemed to disturb Phyllis Newman, as she recognized Avery when she researched her on the internet. They ran into each other, and it was discovered that she was Phyllis's younger sister. Adam Newman watched the exchange, but he doesn't know their exact connection yet. The two seemed to have a distressed relationship that involved Phyllis leaving Avery. Phyllis tried to make Avery understand that she had to leave home, although the reason was still unknown. Avery told Phyllis how highly she thought of her when they were younger. Phyllis also asked Avery why she changed her name and added on "Clark". Avery revealed that she was once married, but she and her ex-husband are divorced. Avery left to visit Sharon in prison. She ended up informing Sharon of her relationship to Phyllis, and Sharon worried that she cannot trust her.
On September 6, 2011, Sharon's hearing began with Avery going toe-to-toe with A.D.A. Heather Stevens

, who involuntarily took the first chair for the prosecution after the DA, Spencer, told her that he was taking the second chair. Avery's presence in the courtroom is unmatched, which worries Spencer and Heather about the Sharon's looming fate. Later at Crimson Lights, Avery saw Phyllis and Nick making out. She then called Nick to meet with him about the hearing, but she seemed to have other motives. Phyllis came to Avery and told her that she would testify for Sharon if Avery didn't tell anyone about their past together. Just as Phyllis told Avery not to tell anyone that they were sisters, Nick walked in to the courtroom where the two were speaking.
Sharon's new trial resumed, with Adam Newman taking the stand. A.D.A. Heather Stevens did an excellent job of using Adam to make Sharon seem morally lacking. Then, Avery threw the courtroom for a loop when she brought out Adam's previous disposition from Sharon's first trial, where he stated how kind and loving Sharon was and how she would never do anything to hurt anyone. Excited that she seemed to be pulling ahead, Avery was stunned to hear that the D.A., Spencer, already decided to offer Sharon a plea bargain of 3 years in jail. Avery did not want to take the deal because she thought she could get Sharon acquitted. She explained to Sharon that she would be freed in 18 months if she decided to take the deal. Without hesitation and Victor by her side, Sharon told Avery that she wanted to take the deal. Avery met with Nick and asked him to bring Noah

and Faith to court for Sharon to see them after she accepted the deal. In reality, Avery knew that by seeing her children, Sharon would not want to accept the plea bargain. She was right; when the judge asked Sharon how she pleaded to involuntary manslaughter, Sharon told him that she was not guilty, after she heard Faith calling for her and saying "mommy". Nick was upset with Avery when he realized her dishonest actions that involved his children; he warned Avery that she better win the trial not only for Sharon, but for Faith and Noah as well.
Meanwhile, Avery ran into Phyllis at Crimson Lights, and she was with her granddaughter, Lucy Abbott. Avery did not know the circumstances under which Phyllis became a grandmother, nor how she took custody of Lucy away from her adopted parents, Billy

and Victoria Newman Abbott. When Avery tried to say hello to her great-niece, Phyllis became very wary of her, pulling Lucy away from Avery's reach. Phyllis goes on to say how she worked so hard in order to get Lucy back because she is her family, her blood. Avery retorted that if Phyllis thinks that family should be together, then she should get to know her niece, but Nick walked in on the two fighting, and Avery dropped the argument. She then apologized to Nick for using him to change Sharon's mind. Avery received word that Sharon was attacked by a fellow inmate, and she was approached by another inmate who tried to save Sharon, Daisy Carter. Daisy is Lucy's biological mother, and Phyllis tricked her into thinking that she would save her, when in reality, she only used her to get her daughter. Daisy, who didn't know that Phyllis and Avery were sisters, went on to call Phyllis a "bitch", and she begged Avery to help her get out of prison so she could take her baby back from Phyllis.
Avery decided to take on Daisy's case just to anger Phyllis. By Avery's hand, Phyllis was forced to take Lucy for scheduled visits to the penitentiary where Daisy was staying. Meanwhile, Sharon's trial was coming to a head, and Avery's intern, Ricky Williams

, found evidence that would ensure their win. He took scandalous photos of Heather Stevens kissing her one-time fiancee, Adam Newman, after Adam got Heather drunk at a bar and seduced her. In reality, Adam purposely incriminated Heather in order to help Sharon. In the end, the evidence was not needed. Phyllis' budding relationship with Detective Ronan Malloy caused her to find the memory card that Adam threw in the river. Phyllis and Ronan burst into the courtroom, and once the judge heard the evidence that they presented, he dropped all of the charges against Sharon. Sharon, Avery and her family celebrated over her freedom.
Avery was in her room at the Athletic Club when Nick stopped by to thank her for all that she did to help Sharon. After staring longingly at each other for several minutes, Nick grabbed Avery in a passionate embrace, and the two had sex. Phyllis, meanwhile, was at the police station, seducing Ronan Malloy. When Ronan received a phone call that could incriminate Nick, Phyllis called to warn him, only to be shocked when Avery answered his phone. Phyllis came over to Avery's room to find Nick putting on his clothes, and she put the pieces together. Nick became angry with Avery for deliberately luring Phyllis to her room, where she knew that she would find them together. Avery later apologized, telling Nick that her feelings for him had nothing to do with Phyllis. The two reconnected and continued to explore their relationship.

Character History
Sam entered the picture while convicted felon, Sharon Newman, was on the run after escaping legal custody. Sam accommodated Sharon, under the alias Sherry Coleman, while she took shelter on a local farm where Sam worked. Over the course of the following weeks, Sam supplied Sharon with food and shelter. Sharon began to trust Sam, and they became fast friends. Sharon began slightly opening up to Sam about her family, and later Sam opened up about a past failed marriage that he had. During this time, Sam's young friend, Piper Welch, who lived nearby, met Sharon and took a liking to her. A small bond formed between Sam, Piper and Sharon.
One day, Sam overheard Piper asking Sharon if she had a crush on Sam, in which Sharon replied that she wasn't interested in anyone, which floored Sam. He later helped Sharon when she cut her leg while trying to run off after meeting Piper's father, who had a job in law enforcement. After Sam bandaged Sharon up, he kissed her and asked Sharon on a date, which she accepted to go on. However, Sam wound up standing her up because he got drunk, which caused a small rift between the two. Sam later broke down as he confided in Sharon that he skipped out on their date due to his heartbreak over the death of his dog, O'Keefe. The emotional moment led to the two making love in Sam's bedroom on his farm. Afterwards, Sharon, who didn't regret making love with Sam, tried to flee his farm, fearing she would hurt Sam as they became closer. Sharon wrote Sam a letter, flashing back on her entire life in Genoa City, but then she decided against giving it to him and destroyed the letter. Sam assured Sharon of his feelings for her and asked her to move into his farmhouse, and she accepted his offer. Later, Sam asked Sharon to accompany him to an annual dance celebration, which she initially declined, but later she decided to go when Piper asked her to go with her. She also was persuaded to go after Piper told Sharon how happy Sam was when he was around her. During the dance, the husband of the woman who carjacked Sharon recognized her, and then she was arrested by Sam's law enforcement friends, including Piper's dad, Lee Welch. As Sharon was taken back to Genoa City, Sam followed her as he realized that he didn't want to lose her. Sharon confessed about her true identity and her past, and she assured Sam, who believed in and supported her, that she didn't kill anyone. Sharon was then torn between her feelings for ex-fiance, Adam Newman, and Sam, who was very hostile to Adam from the moment they met.

while he was guarding Heather. Chloe wanted to meet him at Jimmy's Bar. Ronan found someone to cover for him to watch Heather. At Jimmy's, Ronan figured out the Chloe was using him to make Chance jealous because Chance cheated on Chloe. It was Chloe's birthday, however, so the two danced and talked at the bar. Ronan saw Chance come in with roses and let Chloe know, then Chloe kissed Ronan right in front of Chance. Ronan told Chance that Detective Meeks was watching Heather, and Chance stormed off to be with her. Chloe felt badly afterwards, but Ronan comforted her. Then, he kissed her. He told her to be careful what she wished for, and then he left. On August 12, 2010, Chloe got a peek at Ronan's driver's license and realized that it was his birthday. Meanwhile, Nina and Paul, who were seeing each other at the time, marked her lost son's birthday on a calendar. Chloe thought it is odd that Ronan and Nina's lost son's birthdays were on the same day, but she did not let Ronan know.
In August 2010, Chloe found out the truth about Ronan: he was Nina's son and Chance's brother. She confronted him at Jimmy's Bar. He made her promise to not tell anyone. On August 24, 2010, Chloe and Ronan were at Crimson Lights, and they talked about telling Nina the truth. Chloe told Ronan that Nina needed him, even if he didn't need her. Chloe and Ronan went back to Chloe's house. While outside Chloe's door, Ronan told her, "I don't usually do blind folds on the first date, but I'll make an exception for you." The two sipped some wine and enjoyed each other's company. Then, Meeks knocked on the door, looking for Ronan. Ronan left Chloe's house, but he came back later to find Chloe arguing with Chance; he told Chloe that Ronan was using her. Chloe threw Chance out, but she told Ronan that she hated keeping the truth from him. When asked if he was really using her, Ronan replied that he and Chloe were using each other. Ronan just wanted to enjoy Chloe's company, but she told him to leave because she was still hung up on Chance. Ronan knew that and agreed to leave. Later, Chloe approached Ronan to talk about what Chance got himself into. When nighttime rolled around, Ronan went back to Chloe's house unannounced. The two argued about telling Chance and Nina the truth and opening up about his feelings. The argument ended in a passionate embrace. Ronan kissed her, and they had sex. The morning after, Ronan left a confused Chloe. He bragged to Chance about sleeping with Chloe; later, Chloe told Chance about her night with Ronan after he forced the information out of her.
On September 9, 2010, Ronan "accidentally" shot Chance. Nina, Paul, Chloe and Heather rushed in just as he was shot. Paramedics pronounced Chance dead on the spot. Ronan was arrested for shooting Chance. At the police station, Chloe confronted Ronan about killing Chance. Ronan told her that he was sorry for doing this to her, and he asked her to one day be able to forgive him. Chloe told him to burn in hell. Ronan was left on the verge of tears. On September 17, 2010, it was revealed that Chance faked his death. Only Chance's parents, Nina and Phillip, as well as Ronan and Christine, were allowed to know that he was still alive, as he was going into the Witness Protection Program. On Thanksgiving 2010, Chloe and Ronan had a heartfelt conversation. They talked about Chance's death again. She was unaware that Chance was alive, and Ronan told her that if he could take it back, he would. Ronan tried to talk to her, but Chloe, still upset over Chance's death, stormed off. Later, Chloe revealed to her best friend, Kevin Fisher

Health Complications and Departure
In November 2010, Heather discovered that there was something wrong with Ronan's health. Over and over, Ronan told Heather to butt out, but she refused. By December, it looked like Ronan was taking a turn for the worse when he passed out while talking to Heather. Afterward, she took him to the hospital where the doctor confirmed there may be something wrong with his liver. With some help from her father, Paul, Heather confronted Ronan about Chance's "death", being that she was romantically involved with him when he died. He ended up confessing that Chance was not dead and that he was actually in the Witness Protection Program. He told her that only he, Nina, Phillip and Christine were to know about it because Chance wanted it that way.
In January 2011, it was revealed that Ronan's biological father was a man named Jimmy. Jimmy was killed by the same disease that plagued Ronan. Nina then discovered that Ronan was her lost son. It was determined that Chance was a match for Ronan to receive a partial liver transplant. Chance was forced to leave the Witness Protection Program to help save his brother's life. Immediately after the surgery, Ronan was whisked away by the FBI, leaving Nina, Chance and the rest of the Chancellor family dumbfounded as to why Ronan left. Chance vowed to make Ronan pay. Ronan was last seen recovering in an unknown hospital, doing a word search puzzle in which the question was: "A six-letter word born every minute". Ronan then wrote the word, "suckers".

Later, Chloe banged on Ronan's door, demanding that she tell him what happened. Ronan answered the door in a towel because he just got out of the shower. Chloe barged inside and began pushing Ronan until he grabbed her to stop her, and then the two began to kiss and later had sex. Afterward, Chloe still wanted Ronan to open up to her, and he told her that he had to leave due to his job, and he was already giving her too much information. Chloe didn't believe him, and she stormed out. Ronan then went to the Chancellor Mansion, where Chloe lived, to apologize. His mother, Nina, was there, and she berated him for coming to apologize to Chloe when he could not bring it upon himself to apologize to his own mother. Nina was stunned to learn that Ronan had feelings for Chloe.

Instead, Abby hit Tucker with the car. Before the police arrived, Ashley switched places with her daughter in order to cover for her, and she was sent to jail.
Tucker suffered massive head trauma, which caused bleeding into his brain, and he was left in a coma. Surgery was performed to stop the bleeding, but Tucker remained in a coma, and he was put on a ventilator. Tucker's living will contained a "Do Not Resuscitate", or DNR, but Katherine used her influence to keep Tucker on the ventilator. In addition, Tucker's lawyer informed Katherine, Sofia and Victor that Tucker's living will left Katherine in charge of McCall Unlimited and Tucker's personal affairs. He also kept $20 million in trust for the son that he was searching for but never found. Kay reversed nearly every decision Tucker made, causing her to clash with Sofia and Ashley. When Ashley finally was freed from jail and went to see Tucker, on June 27, 2011, he woke up, and they married the next day. However, Tucker realized that he suddenly forgot everything business related. He could read, but he cannot comprehend what the sentences mean. Ashley, Tucker and Sofia kept the secret from everyone, fearing that Kay would try to take Tucker's company again.
Kay eventually caught on, and she took Tucker to court, challenging the validity of his marriage to Ashley and whether he was competent enough to run his own company. Ashley and Tucker fought Kay tooth and nail together, until the truth about Tucker's affair with Diane Jenkins came out, and they separated. In August 2011, Diane Jenkins was murdered in the park, and Tucker was one of the many prime suspects, because Diane threatened to tell Ashley about their affair. On August 23, 2011, after reviewing Dr. Kenna's competency report on Tucker, Judge Kelsey ruled to allow Tucker back at the helm of McCall Unlimited. While Tucker was happy to have his company back, he was infuriated with his mother. She had tricked him into selling Jabot to Chancellor Industries, knowing that Tucker could not understand what he was signing. Tucker vowed to get Jabot back at all costs.
Meanwhile, Kay had been secretly looking for Tucker's lost son after she found out about his role in Tucker's will. On September 2, 2011, Kay's friend and detective, Paul Williams

, using the evidence that a bottle of calamine lotion was found at the murder site, and Tucker was using the same lotion to treat a rash on his arm. She tried to convince the lead investigator, Ronan Malloy, to arrest Tucker, but he needed more sufficient evidence. Ashley, who was reeling from her niece's cancer diagnosis, fell back into Tucker's arms, and the two reunited. Enraged, Abby decided to wear a wire in order to catch Tucker's murder confession on tape. Instead, Abby ran into her mother, who confessed to her that she was in the park the night that Diane died. Abby's plan backfired, and Tucker and Ashley both found out what Abby did after they found a microphone in their room. Tucker lashed out at Abby, calling her a "stupid little girl". He also found out that Ashley was lying to him about what she was doing on the night of the murder. The couple vowed to not have any more secrets from one another.
Tucker has sues his mother for selling Jabot back to Chancellor Industries and both have agreed to go into arbitration. Tucker has agreed that if he wins the case and regains control of Jabot he will sell it to his brother-in-law Jack Abbott in exchange for Jack testifying for Tucker at the arbitration. Combined with Jack's betrayal and the judge's siding with Tucker in the arbitration, Katherine has a stroke. On October 5, Tucker accidentally overhears Jill and Kay's lawyer, Mitchell Sherman discussing Devon being added to her will. Tucker eventually puts the pieces together and tracks down Devon. Devon is shocked when Tucker tells him they are father and son, and doesn't believe it until Neil confirms it. Tucker later berates Katherine for hiding the truth about Devon's paternity. On October 13, 2011 Tucker came face to face with Yolanda Hamilton or "Candy" or "Harmony" for the first time since she was pregnant with Devon.

Representing Adam Newman
In 2010, Adam Newman and his new wife, Skye, hired Vance to be Adam's lawyer because Adam was facing serious charges brought up by his family. Vance promised to make mincemeat of the Newmans and Abbotts, even though they would come after him with guns blazing. Vance held up the newspaper, and Adam and Sharon Newman were on the front page. Vance told Adam that he helped his own cause by continuing to be involved with Sharon. Adam insisted he wasn't using her, and Vance asked if there was anything he needed to know. He told Vance that he confessed to Sharon about his crimes. Vance looked through Sharon's file and learned about her shoplifting history and her trip to the sanitarium. Vance and Skye grinned in anticipation, but Adam refused to let Vance do anything to Sharon. Afterward, Skye told Vance to go after Sharon, despite Adam's pleads against it. When Adam learned of this, he confronted them about them going behind his back. Skye tried to convince Adam to change his mind when Vance warned Adam that if Sharon went on about his confession at the trial, he was going to prison. Adam said they would do this his way and that backing off Sharon was an order.
By the time of the trial, Sharon was first on the witness list. She told the DA that she would completely spill the beans about Adam's confessions. After learning about how serious and intense Vance is from her sister, Traci, Ashley Abbott

After opening remarks, the DA asked Sharon to come up to the stand, where he asked about her and Adam's courtship, marriage, the note in the plane crash and the night of the ball (see Adam Newman or Sharon Newman for a complete history). Sharon recounted how Adam confessed everything that he did to her and to Ashley. Vance asked to consult with Adam. He and Skye told Adam to let Vance do his job. Adam said his mind was made up. Sharon waited on the stand as Adam told Vance that he was not to wipe the floor with Sharon or else he was fired.

He suggested that she simply made Adam a scapegoat after the truth about the hysterical pregnancy came out. When Ashley was in tears, Vance finished by pointing out that she had no physical evidence that Adam did any of the things she claimed. Out in the corridor, the Abbotts rehashed the way Vance badgered Ashley. Abby came out seething and said that she wanted to kill Vance. Back in the courtroom, Vance questioned Abby. He asked if this was a publicity stunt and when she said no, he pulled out a poster of her naked on a horse. Jack Abbott was next.

Vance told the judge that everyone who had taken the stand had an ulterior motive where Adam was concerned. Eventually, the judge ruled that the evidence against Adam wasn't valid, and the trial was over. The Abbotts and the Newmans vowed that Adam would pay someday.

joined his sisters in their lawsuit against their father upon finding out that Victor was lying about his involvement with Skye Newman.
Representing Adam Newman Again, and Later Sharon Newman
Around the same time, Skye Newman disappeared and Adam, who was back in a romance with Sharon Newman, was accused of her murder. With little money left, Sharon offered to pay for his legal fees and brought in Vance and his new legal partner, Leslie Michaelson. When Adam testified for Victor against his siblings wishes, Leslie was shocked to see Adam, but he learned that apart of this deal, Victor pledged to come forward to the DA regarding his involvement in Sharon's case and would win a trust of his own. After some detective work by Sharon, Adam's charges were dropped, but as a result of her work, she was now accused of murder. In Hawaii, Sharon found Skye, but after an argument, Skye fell to her death in a volcano. It was soon discovered by Adam, Jack, and Phyllis Summers that Victor set Skye up in Hawaii and he was in Hawaii when Sharon was there to make sure no one learned the truth.
In Sharon's trial, despite the testimony of Victor, and Vance's sharp legal tactics, Sharon was found guilty. Adam feared that this would happen, so he secretly arranged for her to escape afterward. Upon escaping, she was car-jacked and presumed to be dead after the carjackers got into a serious accident.
Current Life
Vance has not been involved in any legal cases since Sharon's murder trial. When Sharon was found alive in New Mexico and brought back to Genoa City for sentencing, Victor hired a new lawyer, Avery Bailey Clark, to help get Sharon out of prison. It is unlikely that Vance will continued to be involved in Sharon's legal woes.

, who, without knowing who Colin truly was, divulged information about Cane. Shortly afterward, Cane and Colin met face-to-face, but neither let the truth slip about their relationship. Colin later threatened Cane to return to Australia to assume his position in the family's organized criminal situations, or he would reveal Cane's past to Jill and Cane's wife, Lily. Jill later invited Colin to a family dinner with her and a mortified Cane at the Chancellor Estate. Colin then, in front of Jill, indulged in subtle taunts designed to get Cane’s attention while Cane struggled to maintain his composure. Colin went on and told Jill about a "friend" he and Cane had in common, a young woman named Samantha, who is really Cane's sister and Colin's daughter. Colin tells of who Samantha died several years back. Colin unnerved Cane with additional revelations about his past.
Marriage to Jill Fenmore

On February 2, 2011, they wed, but Cane, who was trying to stop Jill from marrying his father, was shot to death by Blake outside the church.

and keeping an eye on her twins. Lily thought she had been seeing Cane's ghost, and she began to question her sanity. In May 2011, it was discovered that the ghost was actually Cane's twin brother, Caleb Atkinson. Together, Caleb and Colin put together a plan to make the Winters family believe that Lily lost her mind. Colin's goal was to have Caleb help him kidnap Cane's children, Charlie and Matilda, and bring them to Australia so they could be raised to help Colin work in the Australian mob scene. However, Colin's estranged wife, Genevieve returned to Genoa City, intent on tormenting Colin and making sure he failed in his scheme to steal away their grandchildren.
Family Secrets
The night that his plan was put into place, it already hit trouble when Jill, figuring that Colin was going to surprise her with the babies, followed him around. However, when she confronted Colin at an abandoned estate, she sees Cane, who is pretending to be Caleb. In reality, Caleb was the twin who died on the church steps the day of Jill and Colin's wedding. Cane has been playing his father the entire time into thinking that he was Caleb. When Jill saw Cane, alive and well, she fainted. Jill eventually came to just as Colin and "Caleb" were ready to steal the babies. Colin explained the situation to Jill, and she was horrified to learn that their marriage was a ruse. Then, Neil Winters

, Lily's father, came by just as Colin walked into the estate, where he heard music playing. Walking around, he saw his late daughter's ashes and pictures of her laid in the formation of her body. Genevieve confronted Colin, and they argued about his role in the death of Samantha. Genevieve explained the truth about which one of their twin sons was really alive. Colin, however, didn't seem surprised. As they arguing, she pushed him over the edge of the balcony of the house. As he hung on for his life, Jill saw him and ran up to try to save him. Once there, Genevieve explained that she was the real Mrs. Atkinson, and Jill suddenly let Colin go. Colin ended up surviving his fall and was tormented at the hospital by Genevieve. When Jill rushed in, he explained that he was still legally married to Genevieve. Thus, their marriage was invalid. Colin ended up being released from the hospital, and the charges were dropped against him because of diplomatic immunity

Winning Jill Back and Fighting With Genevieve
Colin later ran to find Jill. He declared that he was going to stay in Genoa City to win her back. Jill, however, refused to forgive Colin for using her and trying to steal Lily and Cane's children. Jill began to slightly warm up to Colin again after he proved that he really wanted her back. Still, Colin once again ruined any chance of rekindling his romance with Jill by sleeping with Genevieve. The next day, Colin told Jill that he filed for divorce from Genevieve, and he went as far as to call Genevieve on the phone in front of Jill and tell her the news. When Colin goes to Genevieve's house to give her the divorce papers, she has the last laugh by telling him that she already told Jill that they slept together. When Colin tries to save himself and come clean to Jill, she refuses to listen to him because she already learned the truth from Genevieve. Colin continues to woo Jill, kicking things up a notch after Genevieve begins to date Jack Abbott. Jill and Genevieve get hired for the same advertising job at Jabot, much to both of their dismay. Colin sent Jill flowers at her new job at Jabot, and Jill finally gave in and kissed Colin on September 1, 2011. The two ended up having sex on Genevieve's desk, which she later found out about.
Genevieve continued to taunt Colin with her new found "friendship" with Jack. When Jill ordered Genevieve to go out of the country on a business trip, Genevieve called Colin to discuss family matters from Australia at her house before she was scheduled to leave. She sent Colin to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine, and she told him that she would use his phone to retrieve the messages that Colin's men were leaving him on his phone.

went to Genevieve's house after the house alarm went off, and when she found Colin in the cellar, she, too, got locked inside. While looking for a secret door, Colin stumbled upon Genevieve's safe. He got Gloria drunk so he could secretly try to open it. When Cane found out that Genevieve had sent Jill a bottle of his family's wine, he went to her house and tried to go in the wine cellar, but he found that the door was locked. Passed out on the floor, Gloria did not hear Cane knocking, and Colin stayed quiet so he could continue to work on the safe. Finally, he unlocked the combination, using the date that he and Genevieve first had sex as the numbers. After looking at several stacks of nonsense papers, Colin discovered record books, and he realized that Genevieve was tracking his bank accounts. Soon after, a paper slipped through the door to the wine cellar. In Genevieve's handwriting, it stated that she locked Colin in the wine cellar in order to give her time to drain all of his bank accounts into her own.

Jill and Colin quickly left together, but Cane stayed behind to investigate, discovering the safe. He could not manage to get the lock open before Colin came back and found him there. Colin accused Cane of conspiring with Genevieve to get revenge on him, but Cane denied all such accusations, swearing on Samantha's life that all he wanted was for Genevieve and Colin to stay away from him. When he reunited with Jill, Colin could not help himself from asking Jill if Genevieve was really on her business trip. Jill became upset when it seemed as though Colin could not get Genevieve off his mind, but she quickly forgave him, and the two romantically reunited at Jill's house.

In 1973, Lorie and Mark Henderson were engaged to be married. Bruce Henderson was Mark's father, and he unknowingly was also Lorie's father. Lorie and Mark canceled the wedding upon learning they were half-siblings. Jennifer, Lorie's mother, had an extra-marital affair with Bruce, which produced their daughter, Lorie, while she was married to Stuart Brooks.
Lorie was friends with Jed Andrews. He truly loved her, but she only had eyes for Brad Elliot at the time. Leslie Brooks, who was Lorie's half-sister through their mother, and Lorie first fought over Brad and then later Lance Prentiss. A triangle stretched into a square when Lance's sea captain brother, Lucas Prentiss, arrived. Lucas was the youngest of Vanessa Prentiss' two sons. Despite Vanessa's plotting, she couldn't keep Lorie away from her boys. Vanessa strongly disapproved of Lance's relationship with Lorie, but Lorie and Lance got married anyway.

A short time later, Jill focused her attention on Derek Thurston and divorced Stuart, as he moved on with Jill's mother Liz Foster.
When Lance and Lorie reconciled in 1981, Vanessa committed suicide by jumping off her balcony. In reality, she had just found out that she had a terminal illness, and she framed Lorie for her murder. Soon after, Lorie decided to battle her sister for the custody of her sister's son, Brooks Prentiss.
Later, Lorie got caught up in a love triangle between new Genoa City business Victor Newman

. Lorie began an affair with Victor as Julia began an affair with Brock. Julia admitted to Victor that she was falling in love with Brock, but she and Brock were not lovers. Julia agreed to break up with Brock only if Victor would commit completely to their marriage. Victor was not convinced and turned to Lorie for attention. Later on, Brock caught Victor and Lorie kissing, so he tried to resume his romance with Julia. Brock finally left town because of Julia's inability to end her marriage to Victor. However, Julia ended up leaving Victor after her affair with photographer Michael Scott.
Around the same time, Victor acquired Julia's ex-husband's company, Prentiss Industries. In 1982, Lorie and her ex-husband's brother, Lucas Prentiss, came up with a scheme that Lorie would seduce a newly single Victor into marriage and then, just before the wedding, convince him to sign over to her the controlling stock shares in Prentiss. It worked. Before the ceremony, Victor handed Lorie a document that gave her control of Prentiss Industries. Shortly thereafter, Victor searched for Lorie who had suddenly disappeared. Instead, he found a letter from Lorie, with her engagement ring, informing him that she wasn't interested in marrying him. Despite the scheme, Lorie did seem to fall in love with Victor. However, she packed her bags and arranged a meeting with Lucas before leaving town. To Lucas' surprise, Lorie announced that she had won control of Prentiss Industries from Victor and was returning the company to not Lucas, but his brother and her one-time husband, Lance Prentiss. Lorie left Genoa City soon after.
In 1984, Lorie Brooks returned to Genoa City briefly to see Nikki Reed and Victor marry. Over the course of the next two decades, Lorie married Maxwell Hollister. In 2002, Victor learned that a hostile takeover was threatening Julia Newman Martin's design firm, Martin Designs, so he dropped everything to go to Lake Forest, Illinois. They met with Lorie's husband, Max Hollister, although Victor had no idea that he was Lorie's husband, nor did Max know that his wife had any connection to Victor. Max refused to accept Victor's offer to help out Julia with her company by buying all the stock in Martin Designs, even at ten percent over the value. Before Hollister could leave, Victor promised to create a similar design division at Newman Enterprises and put Julia in charge of it, which would attack Hollister's company at its weak spots and run him out of business. Soon after, Max tried to publicly destroy Victor. He later learned of Lorie's past with Victor when she confronted him in Genoa City about signing divorce papers. Max ended up getting Lorie involved in a dirty scheme that involved breaking up Victor and Nikki, as they prepared for their next wedding. Max had Lorie invite Victor to her hotel room with a sexy note signed by Nikki. She had seduction in mind and a camera feeding the television in Max's adjoining room, where Max was treating Nikki to a private lunch.
Once the day came, their plan was enacted and seemed to go as planned. As Lorie and Victor reminisced, and he ended up apologizing to her for the way he treated her. Lorie was so overwhelmed by his sincerity after what she had done to him that she couldn't even turn on the camera. Max got tired of waiting and dragged Nikki into Lorie's room in time to catch Lorie and Victor in a parting hug. Nikki and Victor both realized it was a setup. Nikki walked out, leaving Victor there to threaten them both. After Victor left, Max and Lorie fought, and Lorie felt ashamed that she ruined her relationship with Victor for nothing. Lorie left town soon after, and Victor and Nikki finally remarried in September 2002, with Max sending them flowers.

Greg overcame his feelings for Chris when he fell in love with a woman named Gwen Sherman, who he immediately planned to wed, but he postponed the wedding after he found out that Gwen was a prostitute. Greg tried to help lead Gwen out of prostitution, but Gwen's pimp used physical force to pressure the terrified young woman into continuing to accept clients.

With Nikki's juvenile ways and tension building, Greg decided to let Nikki go.

In 1997, after Phyllis and Danny got married again and were happy together while raising their son, Sasha re-entered their lives. She had been dumped by Peter, and she was in need of some cash.

Phyllis feared that she might have killed Sasha, but the judge proclaimed that Sasha's death was accidental, as Sasha was a known careless smoker and heavy drinker.

When Julia confided to Eve that she thought Victor was murdered, and that she wanted to exhume his body for an autopsy, Eve sent Max to the graveyard to dig up the corpse. At the cemetery, Max was so shocked to see Victor alive that he fell against a pitchfork and died. Eve tried to stab Victor, and she was consequently committed to a sanitarium.
By 1984, Victor was planning on marrying Nikki. When Eve read about this in the newspaper at the sanitarium, she tried to switch places with her roommate, who was about to be released but wanted to stay in the sanitarium. Eve knocked out a caterer and changed clothes with her to get into the hotel where Victor and Nikki were getting married. After the wedding, Eve went to Nikki's room, and she prepared to stab her, but she was interrupted by Nikki's sister, Dr. Casey Reed. So, Eve climbed into Victor's trunk which was about to be placed on the plane for his honeymoon. At the last moment, the newlyweds changed their minds and decided to stay home. Victor learned that Eve had escaped; he found her and returned her to the sanitarium. A couple of months later, while Victor and Nikki were vacationing, Eve and her former love, Rick Daros, escaped from the sanitarium and returned to Genoa City. Rick had amnesia, forgetting he had tried to kill Nikki earlier in the year, and he became Eve's lover again. After breaking into the ranch, Eve stole money from Victor's safe, and the two escaped to Europe.
Ten years went by without a mention of Eve or her son, then she showed up in 1993, looking as glamorous as ever. Her past crimes totally overlooked; Victor simply fondly recalled her working for him years before. When Eve brought up Cole, whom she still claimed was Victor's, Victor wanted nothing to do with him. Eve left in a huff, slipping Cole's picture into Victor's book. Some time afterward, a lonely Victor contacted Eve and asked her to bring Cole to Genoa City. Eve returned to Genoa City with Cole, a young aspiring novelist. Cole built up a relationship in Genoa City with Victor's daughter with Nikki, Victoria Newman

, while Eve left. Soon after, Cole wrote to his mother saying he had fallen for Victoria. Eve, while on a cruise, read the letter and was horrified by the thought of her son unknowingly getting involved with his half-sister. She arranged to leave the ship, and she flew to Genoa City. While on the plane, she became ill from being bitten by a mosquito.
Upon arrival to Genoa City, she was rushed to the hospital, and Cole was notified of his mother's condition. Eve lingered for weeks, in and out of a coma, and, while somewhat lucid, tried and failed to tell Cole that Victor was his father. Not long after Eve's funeral, Cole and Victoria Newman eloped in Las Vegas. Luckily, Eve was wrong. While going through Eve's belongings, Victor discovered a letter from another man to her which cast doubt on Victor being Cole's father. Victor immediately arranged to have blood tests run on Cole, himself and Eve's corpse. The father ended up being Eve's former love and partner in crime, Rick Daros.
Four years later, while Cole and Victoria's baby struggled for her life, Victoria told Cole she wanted to name her Eve, after his mother. Soon after, Victoria learned from Cole that their baby had died.

Character History
Vanessa was the mother of Lance and Lucas Prentiss. During the first year she was introduced, the lower part of her face was concealed with a veil because of a scar she received in about 1972 while rescuing Lance from a fire, which was accidentally caused by Lucas, who ran off after feeling guilty over the accident. Embarrassed by her condition, Vanessa never ventured into public. Vanessa was strongly against Lance's relationship with Lorie Brooks, whom she immediately took a disliking to upon their first meeting as she wanted Lance to pursue Lorie's sister Leslie, who met Lance first when on vacation in Paris. Vanessa then began her long tenure of conspiring to get Lorie out of Lance's life in order to get Lance and Leslie together. Pressured by Lorie to have cosmetic surgery, a resentful Vanessa unveiled her scars to Lorie. Vanessa later bought a revolver and planned to get even with Lorie after getting her to take off her veil revealing her scar. Unaware that Vanessa was out to get her, Lorie convinced Vanessa to consult a plastic surgeon. After the death of Lorie's mother Jennifer, she started feeling closer to Vanessa and set out to find Vanessa's son, Lucas. After Lorie found Lucas and brought him to Genoa City, Vanessa was astonished to her son for the first time in years and vetoed his plan to leave town. Vanessa was grateful to Lorie for bringing Lucas back into her life. Persuaded by Lucas, Vanessa underwent successful surgery for her scars. Vanessa was later shocked to learn that Lucas had married Leslie. After it was learned that Vanessa's disfiguring scars were a thing of the past, she went out in public for the first time without the veil.
After feeling miffed that Lance always seemed to side with Lorie, Vanessa plotted to shift their family company, Prentiss Industries, into Lucas' control, unbeknownst to Lance, and she later followed through with her plan. Lance was disappointed when Vanessa oust him as the company boss while Vanessa told Lorie she would not put Lance back in charge unless Lorie divorced him, which put a series of pressure on Lorie after Lance began spirring out of control. Lorie finally gave into Vanessa's demands by straining her marriage to Lance, which led to Lance leaving town.
In 1981, Vanessa learned she had two months to live after being diagnosed with a terminal illness and she kept quiet about her illness. After learning she had a short time to live, Vanessa, who had kept mum for over two years about Lance being the father of Leslie's baby, wrote in a journal that Lance has a son. When Lance returned to town with his fiancee, he later ended his engagement and resumed his romance with Lorie. Vanessa then plotted to shove Lorie down a stairway, but changed her plan and made Lance back down from Lorie after lying that Lorie was still involved with Lucas. Vanessa applauded when Lance turned to Leslie. As Vanessa's illness deteriorated, she still plotted against Lorie and then forged a venomous letter to herself signing Lorie's name to it. Vanessa later plunged to her death off a balcony after staging a fight with Lorie.

However, when Rafe went to the Newman Ranch to accuse a house-arrested Adam, Adam tried to distract Rafe by seducing him. He lied to Rafe telling him he had feelings for him. A conflicted Rafe decided to believe him, revealing that he had actually been feeling the same way about Adam. It wasn't what Adam expected to hear, but this did not stop his seduction.

Rafe explained that he needed to leave, but told Adam that he would stay with Adam (presumedly to have more sex) if it was what he wanted. Adam, who was visually shaken by the entire homosexual encounter he'd initiated just to keep Rafe from discovering his lies, tried to remain calm and told Rafe to go citing that because Adam was on house-arrest at the Ranch, Victor would often walk into his bedroom without knocking.
