Brief Character History
Mary Warwick was conceived through a drunken one-night stand between a married James Warwick and Sheila Carter. After discovering she was pregnant, Sheila agreed to have the baby and give it to James and his new wife Maggie to raise. She went along with her part of the deal and had the baby, which James and Maggie named Margaret, Sheila wanted to name the baby Mary after James's mother. Sheila then moved to Death Valley and became a waitress. It was there she met Amber Moore. Amber convinced Sheila to go home and fight for her baby. To prove that Sheila was an unfit mother, James divorced Maggie and seduced Sheila into agreeing to marry him. He believed that he could get her into a situation where she would leave the baby home alone, thereby proving she was unfit. The plan failed and James was forced to go through with marrying Sheila. Sheila later found out about the plan and tried to commit suicide. After surviving, James later fell in love with Sheila and wanted to stay married to her. Things went well for the small family until James developed feelings for Stephanie Forrester. To keep Stephanie away from her husband, Sheila threatened to kill her grandson. Stephanie had her put in jail for the threat. Sheila later broke out of jail and left town with her daughter.
Erica Lovejoy arrived in Los Angeles to LA to meet the person she has idolized for years: Amber Forrester. After Amber miscarried her baby, Erica ran away from the home she shared with her mother to see meet her idol. She went to the hospital where Amber was staying and offered her sympathy to her. She later used Zende Forrester (who she met when she posed as a teacher at his school) to get her into a Forrester party. At the party she met Rick Forrester and was soon offered the job as Little Eric's nanny. She happily accepted. Soon after, her mother tracked her down in LA and broke into her apartment. Her mother was none other than Sheila Carter! Erica knew nothing about her mother's past or that her real name was not even Erica (her mother had renamed her after the only man she ever truly loved: Eric Forrester) or that she was really Mary Warwick. Sheila moved in with Erica and tried to convince her to make moves on Rick Forrester, her boss.
Erica soon found out that Sheila had paid Lance to drug Amber into bed, killed Lance and set Amber up for breaking a window (which sent her to prison). But Sheila convinced her not to tell anyone because if the Forrester knew Sheila and Erica were related they would want nothing to do with her. Sheila then convince Erica that if she wanted to be apart of Rick's life forever she would have to have his baby. Erica wasn't sure about this at first, but her love for Rick clouded her mind and she agreed to seduce him. Erica set up a romantic dinner for her and Rick and tried to seduce him afterwards. But Rick was still in love with his wife and refused to sleep with Erica. That same night, to make sure nothing got in the way of her and Erica's plans to get Erica pregnant so she would be the new Mrs. Forrester, Sheila kidnapped Amber at gun point and made it look like she jumped parole and went on a drinking binge. While she was holding Amber and about to kill her, she called her lover, Massimo. Stephanie was with him and she recognized her voice and put it together that she was Erica's mother and rushed to Erica's apartment to find her. On the way to Erica's, Stephanie called Ridge and told him to go to Rick's house and warn him about Erica.
Ridge went to Rick's and told him everything about Erica. Erica then confessed that she was trying to seduce him to become pregnant and she begged for Rick's forgiveness. Rick refused to forgive Erica and told her he never wanted to see her again. When Mass and Stephanie arrived they rescued Amber, but Sheila got away. Sheila went to Eric's house and begged him, at gun point, to not punish Erica for everything. While they were talking Taylor came in and Sheila held her at gun point too. While trying to convince Sheila to put the gun away, Brooke walked in. A scuffle between all of them happened and Brooke and Taylor were shot. For Taylor it was fatal. Sheila was arrested and sent to jail. Erica confronted her mother in jail and told her she hated her and never wanted to see her again. Erica then left town and has not been seen since. It is unknown if she and James have ever met.
