After several weeks on the run, Nathan decided to return Nate to Olivia. When Nate wandered away from his father on a crowded street, Nathan rushed to find his son and was fatally struck by a car.

After Nathan's death, Olivia became close to Malcolm Winters, who also had a soft spot for Nate. Olivia enrolled Nate at the Walnut Grove Academy. Malcolm soon married Olivia and raised the possibility of adopting Nate, who considered Malcolm to be his father, even though he was old enough to remember his biological father. Olivia spent many hours at the hospital as a doctor, and Nate was often neglected; Malcolm and Nate's nanny, Julia, raised him more than his own mother. Olivia and Malcolm eventually divorced, yet Malcolm remained a staple in Nate's life. Olivia contracted aplastic anemia and changed her will so Malcolm's brother, Neil Winters, would raise Nate if she were to pass away. Once Olivia became healthy again, she took away all of Malcolm's paternal rights to Nate; Malcolm later sued Olivia for joint custody and won.

Later, Rick shocked everyone by returning to Genoa City alive. He was determined to get revenge on his brother for leaving him to die. Rick and Mari Jo had a short-lived romance, and Ashley, not knowing that Blade was a twin, thought that Rick was Blade. She believed that Blade was having an affair with Mari Jo.

Keesha, whose voice was only heard, later called Nathan without leaving her name. Nathan later confessed to Paul that he had been having an affair, but asked Paul to keep quiet. Keesha was first seen at Gina's Place, where Malcolm Winters stumbled upon her, and the two slowly started dating. After a few months of happiness, Malcolm found out that Keesha had an affair with Nathan. Nathan and Keesha's affair was over, but Keesha's troubles did not end there. After another altercation with an upset Malcolm as Keesha pleaded with him to forgive her, Keesha phoned her former boyfriend, Stan, after she realized how much he had meant to her. Keesha was puzzled when the number Stan gave her was for a hospital and was shocked when Stan's brother, Dave, said Stan had just died of AIDS. Later, she retrieved an old letter from Stan, who had written that he was bisexual and that he had HIV. Olivia was Keesha's physician when Keesha went and had herself checked and learned that she was exposed to HIV by Stan. Fearing that she could've exposed Nathan to the virus, Keesha confessed her affair with Nathan to a furious Olivia.

Malcolm dropped his hostility and forgave Keesha for her affair with Nathan after he learned about her ailing health. Sadly, Keesha's health took a turn for worse as the virus worsened. On Keesha's dying breath in order to give her a few final moments of happiness, Malcolm arranged a wedding ceremony. Keesha lost her battle with AIDS as she died in Malcolm's arms moments after reciting their vows. A few years later, Malcolm had a memory of Keesha.

One day, a fight erupted between the two, which would have ended in Nick's death if his father Victor Newman had not intervened. Victor then proceeded to beat Larry to a pulp. Larry was released on probation, and he was recruited by a vengeful Matt, under the alias Carter Mills, to bring the Newman family down. While plotting to frame Nick for manufacturing and selling ecstasy, Larry developed a soft spot for his young daughter, Cassie Newman, who eventually persuaded him to testify for Nick rather than against him.

Larry gradually began to reform after Nick's mother, Nikki Newman, gave him a job as a janitor at Jabot Cosmetics. He also rescued young lovers Billy Abbott and Mackenzie Browning from Mackenzie's stepfather, Ralph Hunnicutt, and ended up sleeping with Mackenzie's mother, Amanda Browning. Larry then began an affair with Billy's mother, Jill Abbott, who kept their affair a secret for fear that it would damage her reputation that she was dating a man so "beneath" her. Katherine Chancellor caught Larry sneaking out of Jill's room one night, and she confronted Jill about the affair. Jill viciously denied it, insulting Larry in the process. Larry retaliated by emptying a box of Jill's sex toys over the table at a Jabot board meeting.

History
The Young and the Restless
Timothy, whom Phyllis called Tim, was the psychiatrist of Phyllis Romalotti. Phyllis told him her most deep secrets, from disappointments in her childhood to her current life problems. Tim slept with Phyllis after she seduced him, and she used the videotape of their lovemaking to blackmail him to testify on her behalf in court during the trial to end her marriage to Danny Romalotti. Tim later recanted his testimony, which resulted in the confiscation of his psychiatrist's license. After her marriage to Danny was over, Phyllis used Tim to make Danny jealous, even though Danny was never aware who Phyllis was sleeping with. Tim proposed to Phyllis and she accepted, but nothing came out of that after Danny wanted Phyllis back. Evidently, Tim dropped off canvas.

Fifteen years after being unseen in Genoa City, Tim was contacted by Ricky Williams after he found Tim's business card in Phyllis's home. Tim told Ricky he didn't ever want to hear Phyllis's name again, but Ricky was able to convince Tim to tell him about his history with Phyllis, and he then stole Phyllis' therapy file from his apartment. Tim then told Ricky to look into the events of Christmas 1994, when Phyllis ran over Christine Blair and Ricky's father Paul Williams with her car. Afterward, Tim was reported missing and the news hit Genoa City, earning the attention of Paul and Phyllis' sister, Avery. Phyllis later told Avery that she paid Tim to leave town permanently in order to cover up the hit-and-run incident from eighteen years earlier. His neighbor Beth placed a call to him and he was seen on some sort of vacation, informing him of recent developments about Phyllis. Ronan Malloy, by tapping into Beth's phone records, then discovered Dr. Tim and brought him back to Genoa City where he, along with Michael Baldwin and Heather Stevens, questioned him. He revealed that Phyllis paid him to get out of town to keep her secrets safe. As a favor to Heather, who was also Ricky's sister, he talked to Paul about his son and his character. Tim then revealed to Phyllis that he had a recording of her admitting to the hit and run during a therapy session, and begun to blackmail her again by making her transfer large sums of money into an offshore bank account. Despite having the money, all Tim really wanted was a sexual encounter with Phyllis. She became so desperate that she had to tap into her daughter's trust find, leading her husband, Nicholas Newman, to find out what she had done and her sister quit as her legal counsel. Even as Nick told her by giving in to Tim's blackmail she strengthened the prosecution's case, she agreed to spending an evening with him as a final option to keep him quiet. Her plan was not to sleep with Tim, but drug him to fall asleep so he would believe they did. Unbeknownst to Phyllis, before she could drug him, Tim took a large amount of erectile dysfunction pills, which made him have a heart attack and die in front of her. Afterward, Phyllis enlisted the help of Kevin Fisher to dispose of Tim's body at his apartment, to make it look like he died whilst at home.

The Bold and the Beautiful
In 2001, Tim moved to Los Angeles, where he was found by Morgan DeWitt, a woman he knew from when they were young. Morgan seduced Tim and convinced him that it was okay what she did—chained Taylor Hayes in the basement. They slept together and had an agreement to move Taylor from the basement to the living room. Once Taylor was free, the couple ran away, but Morgan had to return and ended up captured.

History
Veronica Landers, the unstable wife of Joshua Landers, was presumed dead when a body was found at the bottom of a lake along with her wedding ring. However, Veronica turned up alive at Genoa City Memorial Hospital, having undergone extreme facial reconstruction after a car accident that left her hideously disfigured. She was determined to recover and return to her husband. After tracking Joshua down, she called him on the phone, but she was shocked when a woman, Joshua's new wife, Nikki Newman, answered the phone. Devastated that her husband had remarried, Veronica came up with a plan. Disguised as a quiet, shy woman named Sarah Lindsey, Veronica came to work as Nikki and Josh's new maid. For months, she spied on her husband and his new wife, who both thought "Sarah" was a fantastic maid. She wanted to reveal her true identity to Josh, but she could never find the right time. Soon, Veronica stopped taking her medication for her psychotic problems, and she became careless and edgy; she knocked over a vase, smashing it on the floor, and she showed no remorse to Nikki.

On a stormy night, Nikki and Josh were in bed discussing plans to have a baby. Veronica, who had bugged their bedroom, heard the conversation, and she was determined not to let them conceive. Nikki then received a phone call from her son, Nick Newman, and she left the house. Veronica saw this time as the perfect opportunity to reveal herself to Josh. Josh was shocked to see her alive, and he rejected her advances. Then, a shattered Veronica shot him dead. Then, dressed as "Sarah", she went downstairs to face Nikki when she returned home. Veronica frightened Nikki by talking in riddles, saying that Joshua was upstairs and would be asleep for a very long time. At first, Nikki thought "Sarah" had been drinking, but after seeing the crazed look in her eyes, she demanded that "Sarah" packed her things and got out. When Sarah refused, Nikki went to call the police, but Veronica shot her four times before she picked up the phone.^[25]

The following day, Nikki was found unconscious and in a pool of blood on her living room floor by her ex-husband Jack Abbott. Nikki was rushed to the hospital, but the doctors informed Nikki's family that her chances of surviving were slim. Nikki's other ex-husband, Victor Newman, divorced his wife, Diane Jenkins, and he married Nikki on her death bed.^[26] In a turn of events, Nikki miraculously survived, and Victor opted to stay married to her, however the marriage was invalid as Victor and Diane's divorce was never finalized.

Meanwhile, Veronica was living on the run from the law in a seedy motel. No longer disguised, she ran into Nikki and Victor's butler, Miguel Rodriguez, at a local Mexican restaurant. Much to Veronica's relief, he didn't recognize her.^[27] After many such meetings, Miguel fell in love with Veronica. They began dating, and Veronica eventually developed genuine feelings for him. They soon became engaged, and he took her back to the Newman Ranch. Veronica was relieved that Nikki didn't recognize her upon her arrival.

Veronica was horrified to learn that novelist Cole Howard was researching Josh's murder for his new novel. Nikki mentioned to Victor that Veronica seemed vaguely familiar, she was concerned for Miguel, who barely knew his new fiancée. Victor suggested that she run a background check. Afraid Nikki would recognize her, Veronica resolved that Nikki had to die. When Nikki decided to take a moonlit horse ride, Veronica took her gun, and she headed for the stables. Meanwhile, Cole and Malcolm Winters compared Veronica and Miguel's engagement photo with Sarah's wanted poster, and they discovered that Veronica was Sarah. Victor stopped by the ranch just as an old photo of Veronica fell out of one of Josh's medical books that Miguel was packing. At the same moment, they realized that Veronica was Sarah, just as Cole called and told them that Veronica and Sarah were the same person. Victor and Miguel went straight to the stables, where they found Veronica holding Nikki at gunpoint. Miguel distracted Veronica, while Victor wrestled her for the gun. During the struggle, Veronica fatally impaled herself on a hay hook. Nikki was safe and no longer had to worry about Veronica, or Sarah, haunting her.

In September, 2001, reports speculated that Genet was to exit, with no confirmations of such information by the soap opera.^[34] The actress's last airdate was November 28, 2001, when Tricia was institutionalized.

History

Sabryn Genet (pictured) portrayed Tricia Dennison.

Tricia, the eldest daughter of Keith Dennison, met Ryan McNeil, who was having marital problems with his wife, Nina Webster. Ryan was attracted to Tricia, ultimately causing Ryan and Nina to divorce.

Ryan married Tricia, much to the disapproval of her father. Tricia became increasingly jealous of the attention Ryan lavished on Nina's son, Phillip, whom he thought of as his own. When in private, the child was hostile to Tricia, believing her to have destroyed his family. Tricia pretended to be nice to Phillip for Ryan's benefit, but confided in her sister, Megan, that she didn't like him. In desperation, Tricia stopped taking her birth control pills, unbeknownst to Ryan, and conceived. While Ryan was furious at first, he warmed to the idea of having a child. When Tricia miscarried, she believed it was punishment for deceiving her husband in the first place.

Tricia became obsessed with destroying Megan's relationship with Tony Viscardi, of whom Tricia and her father, Keith, disapproved. When she ran Tony down in Megan's driveway, it was suspected that Tricia had gone over the edge and intentionally killed him. Whether this was true or not was never revealed. Megan disowned her sister and left town. Tricia left Ryan and moved to London, England, with Keith.

Tricia returned six months later and asked Ryan to take her back, but he turned her down. Tricia then turned to Carter Mills, who was actually rapist Matt Clark, having had major reconstructive surgery. Matt drugged and slept with Tricia, before convincing her to frame Nicholas Newman, who had had Matt convicted years ago. Upon discovering that Matt had Rohypnol in his possession, Tricia realized that Matt had raped her the first time they had had sex and attempted suicide, but was foiled by Ryan. Tricia stopped Matt from raping Nicholas' wife, Sharon Newman, by driving off a cliff, hoping to kill them both. In the hospital, Matt killed himself, and framed Nick for murder.

Ryan and his ex-wife, Victoria Newman, resumed their relationship. Suspicious of Tricia, Victor Newman arranged for her to move in with him in order to keep her away from his daughter, not realizing that Tricia was conspiring with the "ghost" of Matt (the ghost being nothing more than a psychotic delusion) and that they were plotting against him. One night, she slipped a sleeping sedative into Victor's drink. Tricia then led Victor up to his room and laid him on the bed. Victor then realized something was wrong when Tricia disrobed and had sex with him. The next day, Tricia had beaten herself to make it seem like Victor had raped her. Victor was arrested and placed in jail. Once in jail, Victor had to fight for his life, but during his court hearing, he escaped to save Victoria. On Ryan and Victoria's wedding day, Tricia barged into the church wearing a gown identical to Victoria's, locked Victoria in a closet and took her place at the altar, holding a gun to Ryan. Victor freed Victoria and had convinced Tricia to leave the wedding, but Victoria entered the room and Tricia shot at her. Ryan jumped in front of Victoria, taking the bullet for her. He was rushed to hospital, but died shortly after, with Victoria at his bedside. Tricia was then locked away in a mental institution for Ryan's murder. In her mental state, she waved goodbye to the evil Matt who helped persuade Tricia to perform those diabolical plots.

Ashley Jones portrayed Megan Dennison.

History
Megan, the youngest daughter of Keith Dennison and the younger sister of Tricia Dennison, was a college student before getting an apprenticeship at the Genoa City Chronicle. Megan had been dating Alec Moretti (Andre Khabbazi) for a while, but he wanted their relationship to be more serious than Megan did, so she broke it off with him. Megan then met the older mechanic Tony Viscardi at Crimson Lights Coffee House, and she was instantly attracted to him. Tony, who had just broken up with the manipulative Grace Turner, thought that Megan was a breath of fresh air. Megan's uptight father and sister both disapproved of Tony, believing him to be unworthy of Megan. A defiant Megan told them that she didn't care what they thought of Tony, and she moved in with him.

When Tony and Megan were arrested for unknowingly driving a stolen car, Tony begged the District Attorney Glenn Richards to get Megan off. He did, and eventually, Grace posted Tony's bail, and Tony moved back in with her. Tony soon admitted his feelings to Megan, and they got back together. At Keith's request before he left town, Tricia vowed to break Tony and Megan up. She teamed up with Grace, but the two were unsuccessful in breaking up the pair. Tricia then began to pretend to accept Tony. Everyone except Megan saw through the charade. The tension between Tricia and Tony finally erupted on New Year's Eve. During a physical fight between the two of them, Tricia stopped and violently kissed Tony.

As Tricia became increasingly psychotic, Tony resolved to marry Megan quickly. A small group of the couple's friends congregated with the Justice of the Peace for the wedding, with Sharon Newman and Nina Webster standing up for Tony and Megan. Sharon's daughter, Cassie Newman, was the flower girl. Megan arrived, but she was horrified when Tony didn't show up. Tony had been run down on his motorcycle by Tricia, as she blindly backed out of the Dennison driveway in a desperate rush to stop the wedding.

Tony was rushed to hospital, and he married Megan moments before he died. Megan, furious with Tricia for killing her husband, left town and attended college at Boston University. Tricia and Keith went to Megan's graduation ceremony. Megan traveled through Europe before settling down in Boston, while her sister was institutionalized, and her father subsequently left Genoa City for an unknown location.

Raul Evan Guittierez first appeared on August 2, 1999, portrayed by David Lago until August 13, 2004. The character returned five years later from May 22 to June 17, 2009.^[42]

History
Raul, who had lived in Genoa City all his life, came from a large and poor Cuban family and was Billy Abbott's best friend from his grade school years. While attending Walnut Grove Academy, which Raul could only afford to attend via a scholarship, he became friends with Mackenzie Browning, Rianna Miner, J.T. Hellstrom and Brittany Hodges. Raul fell in love with Mackenzie and they began dating, but it wasn't long before Mac left Raul for Billy, thus destroying Raul and Billy's friendship. Raul soon started seeing Rianna.

David Lago (pictured) portrayed Raul.

Raul was then diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after having a seizure at the Abbott pool house. Rianna (now played by Alexis Thorpe) stayed by his side at the hospital. After being released from hospital, Raul seemed to cope well with his illness, but lapsed into a diabetic coma after overdosing on insulin. When he awoke, he tried to break it off with Rianna "for her own good", but she convinced him to stay with her. When Raul discovered that she had lost her virginity to J.T. when they were together, he demanded sex. Rianna was furious with Raul, and dumped him. The pressure of his illness, failed relationships and school, coupled with the expectations his family and friends had for him, caused Raul to lash out at everyone, and soon his grades began to slip, canceling out his dreams of becoming the first in his family to attend college. Soon Raul's brother Diego Guittierez arrived in town intending to help Raul through his problems, but Raul resented his brother for running away from the family, leaving Raul with all the responsibilities. Raul eventually got his life back on track.

Raul and Brittany began dating. Brittany, who had only ever had boys interested in her for her appearance, dumped Raul, for fear that she was falling in love. Raul eventually convinced her to be with him. Raul and Brittany's relationship was going well, and Raul stood up for Billy (then Ryan Brown) at his wedding to Mac (then Kelly Kruger). On Billy and Mac's wedding night, they discovered that they were, in fact, cousins. The marriage was annulled and they both left town, devastated, leaving Raul and Brittany broke. Desperate, they rented the spare room in the loft to J.T. Raul's relationship with Brittany was dealt a devastating blow when she was offered a job stripping at Bobby Marsino's gentlemen's club. Brittany soon fell for Bobby and dumped Raul. Raul left Genoa City for Boston, having won a scholarship to the prestigious Pemberton College.

Raul returned to Genoa City five years later, in a relationship with Mac, which does not sit well with Billy. Billy has a problem with his best friend from high school dating his former "wife." Raul didn't think it would be a problem (it was only recently that it came out that Billy and Mac were not cousins) and informs Billy that he wants to marry Mac before never being seen or mentioned again.
