Brief Character History
Todd first appeared in Llanview as one of Kevin's fraternity brothers. Marty was tutoring Todd and they slept together once before the rape. On the night of Spring Fling, Todd, Zach and Powell raped Marty upstairs in Kevin's room. Marty originally accused Kevin of the rape, too, but later realized he wasn't guilty. During the trial, it was revealed that Todd had raped a woman before, her name was Carol Swift. Nora realized during the trial that Todd was lying and that he was guilty of rape. Nora threw the trial during her closing statement, basically saying that Todd was guilty. The judge declared a mistrial, but Powell broke down and confessed the truth before there could be a new one. Zach, Todd and Powell went to jail.
Todd escaped from jail while on work release, caused Suede Pruitt's death and kidnapped Rebecca Lewis. Todd was shot and presumed drowned, but he later turned up at Llanfair, hiding out in the gardening shed and pretending to be "Ali" the genie to have Sarah and C.J. bring him food. Later, while on the run again, Todd saved Marty, Jessica and C.J. after their car crashed. Todd tried to get away, but he was shot and Bo took him into custody. Todd was eventually granted a full pardon and released from jail. David Vickers showed up in town pretending to be the lost Lord heir and tried to collect the inheritance, but Tina discovered the truth, that Todd was really Victor Lord's long lost son. Todd inherited all the money, bought The Intruder from Dorian Lord and turned it into The Sun.
Todd became involved with Blair, who claimed she was pregnant with his child, but really only wanted him for his money. They married, Todd later made her take a pregnancy test, it was positive, she had gotten pregnant after they were married. When Blair was attacked by Javier and miscarried, Todd learned Blair wasn't pregnant when they got married. Their marriage was annulled, but they got back together and were married again. Todd went off to Ireland to bring Marty back because a young girl she knew named Paloma was dying. Todd ended up getting shot instead of Patrick and was presumed dead. He showed up months later, only to find Blair and Patrick making love. In a rage, Todd kidnapped Starr, but later brought her back. Todd wanted revenge on Patrick, so he planned to blow up Guy Armitage's yacht and frame Patrick for it. The plan backfired, Guy Armitage wound up dead and Patrick was able to prove that he was out of town at the time.
There has been an ongoing custody fight for Starr. Todd married his lawyer, Téa Delgado, to help him win custody of Starr, which he did. Téa originally married Todd because of the money he paid her, but the two have became much closer and recently Todd admitted that he loved her and proposed they get married for real. Todd hired Blair to work for him again and tried to prove Bo Buchanan guilty of Georgie Phillip's murder to get revenge on the Buchanans. When the evidence started making Todd look guilty, he kidnapped everyone involved with Georgie and held them all at the Buchanan lodge, determined to make the real murderer confess and thereby clear him. Rachel did finally confess to Georgie's murder and Todd ran off, taking Téa with him. Todd hit Téa, but she turned the tables and knocked him out, called the police and had him arrested.
Todd escaped soon after, said goodbye to Starr and cornered Tea in a cabana. Sam Rappaport went in to talk to Todd and learned that Todd had been sexually abused as a child. When Sam tried to introduce that fact in court, Todd collapsed and went into a catatonic state. When he awoke, he appeared to have DID, split personalities, like his sister Viki. The personality called "Tom", a more childlike and gentle personality, was in control and was determined to have Téa give him a second chance and admit she loves him. Todd and Téa eventually did get married again, but at the reception, Starr unknowingly played a tape over the country club loud speakers on which Todd confessed that he was faking the DID to keep from being prosecuted. Todd quickly left town in 1998 and Téa filed for divorce.
Todd kept his eye on Teaa from a distance and was not happy when he saw her dating RJ. He tried numerous things, including turning the gas on in their apartment and shooting RJ (who fortunately had on a bullet proof vest) to keep them apart. But none of this worked, so Todd lured Téa up to Viki's cabin in February 2000 and convinced Téa to run away with him, which she did.
When Todd is next seen, in June 2000, Téa has left him. Todd ran into Jessica, Will and Cristian, who were on the run because Asa set Will up about embezzling funds from the Megan Foundation. Todd "helped" the teenagers and packed Will up in a cargo container to Ireland and convinced Jessica and Cristian to return to Llanview because Viki was dying (she wasn't). With Blair's help, Todd regained control of The Sun from Kelly and he kicked Roseanne and Sophia out of his old penthouse and moved back in. He began to fall in love with Blair again, helped by some encouragement from their daughter, Starr. Todd helped cover up the fact that Blair shot Max and he and Blair agreed to get married again. But the night before the wedding, Max drugged Blair and made sure that Todd saw them in bed together. Todd exploded at the altar and revealed several of Llanview's secrets, including the fact that Blair shot Max. He even turned over some of her clothes with gunpowder residue before he learned the truth that Max had set Blair up. Since then, he's tried to get the evidence back, even planting a bomb in the police station, but with no luck. As a last resort, he testified that Blair was crazy when she shot Max so she would go to St. Anne's instead of to jail. His plan worked and Blair was temporarily sent to St. Ann's. However, upon her release, she learned a startling fact: she was pregnant! Figuring out that the child must be Todd's, she panicked and remembering how Todd took Starr away, she left town for Mexico.But Todd followed her to Mexico. There, Todd delivered her baby, unaware that it was his, since no one else was around. Todd thought it was Max's and arranged for Paloma Sanchez, the woman who owned the hacienda, to "get rid" of the child. The child was given to David Vickers, who took the baby and gave it to a rich couple in Texas.
This whole time, Blair thought her baby was actually dead, since Todd told her it was. Blair thought that Todd would be upset when he found out the baby she had let "die" was his, so she told Starr not to tell him. Finally Blair told him the truth and Todd brought the baby home, telling her it was an "adopted" child. Blair almost found out the truth several times, when David popped up, demanding more cash, and Paloma came, trying to tell Blair in broken English that the baby was alive after all.
Gabrielle Medina, whom Blair hates, found out the child was alive, and blackmailed Todd into giving her a job. Blair thought that Gabrielle was blackmailing him because Todd had gone through some “illegal procedures” in “adopting” their baby. But Todd's deception was discovered when baby Jack developed aplastic anemia, just like Starr had, and Todd had to bring Alex Olanov to town to be the bone marrow donor. Sam, learning from Nora that Alex had been Starr's bone marrow donor too, put everything together and told Blair the truth, that Jack was her biological son that Todd had told her was dead.
Blair was furious with Todd, she hired bodyguards to keep Todd away from the baby and she and Sam even secretly took the family away to Hawaii to get away from Todd. But the bodyguards were working for Todd and he followed them to Hawaii and planned to kidnap the kids. However, he ran into Téa Delgado there, who warned Blair about Todd's plans and she was able to bring Starr and Jack safely back to Llanview. Once there, Blair decided to repay Sam for his help by getting his "true love", Nora, back for him by seducing Troy MacIver and making Nora break up with Troy.
Blair's planned failed and Troy and Nora found out what she had been trying to do. Sam was angry at first, but then forgave her because she only did it to try and help him. Sam and Blair grew closer during Todd's absence (they didn't know he was stranded on an island) and she began to depend on him more and more, he helped her through signing her divorce papers from Todd. When Todd returned to town, Blair was worried that he would try to steal her children again and called the police when she found him alone with Jack, but she struggled with her feelings about Todd.
Blair ran an expose of a mob family in The Sun, which brought death threats against her. She didn't take them very seriously until one day in the park, her daughter's nanny, Suzanne, was shot and killed by a hitman who thought she was Blair. The hitman came face to face with Blair when she rushed to Suzanne's side, but the sound of approaching sirens caused the hitman to flee. Blair was taken to a local police station, where Sam, Cassie(who was in town to see Viki) and Todd went to see her. They came up with a plan to protect her, they would tell everyone she had lost her mind and was sent to a clinic in Switzerland, but in reality she went to stay in Todd's penthouse where she could hide and still be with her children. Sam and Blair grew closer, but eventually she realized that Todd was the only one she really loved. After Todd saved Blair from the hitman, who was arrested, Blair and Todd admitted their feelings for each other and Todd surprised Blair by calling Andrew Carptenter to come over and marry them right away. But Sam was suspicious about Todd "saving" Blair and decided to investigate further into Suzanne's death. During the middle of Todd and Blair's marriage ceremony, Sam showed up at the penthouse with a very much alive Suzanne in tow and interrupted the wedding.
Blair moved back into the Cramer mansion and recoiled from Todd's latest betrayal. She demanded that he stay away from her and their children. Soon after, the reprehensible Mitch Laurence attempted to kidnap Starr in order to have a hold over Todd. Blair caught him in the middle of the act and begged him to take her instead. He did, chaining her up in an abandoned theatre. Todd rescued her, but she was still ambivalent about their relationship. Before she could come to a decision, Todd mysteriously disappeared. Later Mitch fell to his death
Blair breathed easy for a brief moment, and had Todd legally declared dead to free up his funds. She learned she would co-own the Sun with Viki and act as editor-in-chief until Starr was in her 20's. She also turned down Troy's romantic overtures. Blair was jarred when a mysterious stranger showed up in town claiming to be Mitch's brother. This man, Walker, was secretly working with Mitch, but sided with Blair when he learned of his brother's long list of crimes. Blair and Dorian both took a shine to him and Blair agreed to make him a reporter at The Sun. Blair found herself the prime suspect in yet another murder when Mitch was killed days after his arrest. Blair - not realizing she was being manipulated by Walker - began to suspect Dorian as the killer. Dorian was cleared and soon Blair started becoming more and more attracted to Walker. Meanwhile Walker made a startling confession to Starr--he was actually Todd! After having been brutally beaten and left near-death by Mitch's goons, Todd convinced doctors to make him over to resemble Mitch's brother, Walker. As Mitch hadn't seen Walker in several years, Todd fooled him, along with all of Llanview. As the weeks wore on, Blair started falling in love with Walker, despite everyone else's warning that he couldn't be trusted. One of the many people against Walker was Kevin Buchanan, another man Blair was finding herself attracted to despite the fact that he was married to Kelly. Meanwhile, Kevin was the first to discover Walker's true identity, but kept quiet for Blair's sake. When Blair realized Todd's scheme, all hell broke loose. She refused to let him near their children and divorced him. Extremely drunk on New Year's Eve 2003, Blair had a sleazy roll in the sheets with Kevin. Disgusted with herself, she prepared to leave the Palace Hotel. Todd spotted her, realized what her rumped clothes meant, and followed her back to her room.
A short time later, Todd fled. Blair claimed she had been raped. She filed charges as well as custody papers. Throughout the trial, Todd went easy on her, and Blair stuck to her story, even as old nemesis Marty returned to town to testify and then told her she felt Todd was innocent. Soon after Todd's prison conviction, Blair passed out. She was suffering from a brain tumor! She realized that she may have been wrong about what happened that night with Todd. As Todd got a retrial (due to a juror's hearing aid not working), Blair pondered changing her story, not knowing of Todd's plan to tear her credibility and life to shreds.
The relationship between Todd and Blair changed again after Starr took off to New York to meet a young man she met on the Internet and was kidnapped. Todd and Blair were able to save their daughter, and even accepted her first boyfriend, Travis. When the community center caught fire, Todd rushed in to save Starr, and was later rescued himself by Blair, who finally realized how much she loved Todd and the two reconciled. Unfortunately, they encountered an obstacle in the form of Margaret Cochran, whom Todd had wooed in an attempt to bring down his rival (and half-nephew) Kevin. Around the same time, Blair's cousin Kelly claimed that Todd was the father of her son, Ace. Todd knew that Ace was not really Kelly's child and confided this in Blair, who agreed to keep quiet. Margaret, who had tried to break Todd and Blair up by claiming she had an affair with Todd, kidnapped the baby, but Todd rescued Ace and had Margaret sent to the mental hospital. After Starr came home, devastated her classmates were teasing her about her illegitimate half-brother, Blair made it clear the truth had to come out. Todd told Kevin the truth himself, happy to see how devastated Kevin was to learn the baby was not only not Todd's, it wasn't even Kelly's.
Todd and Blair launched a plan to become respectable in Llanview, so that Starr would never be teased again, which included moving into Asa Buchanan's mansion. While looking over Blair and Asa's divorce decree, Todd realized that Blair legally owned Asa's home, and planned to move in. After Blair knocked Asa out in a heated conversation, the two were convinced he was dead and drove him out to the woods, leaving him there. Asa made his way back and shot Todd, and the two men (with Blair's help) made a deal -- Todd wouldn't press charges against Asa and Asa would drop the feud. Todd and Blair made plans to remarry, but on the eve of the wedding, Todd was kidnapped by a deranged Margaret Cochran, determined to get the man she thought belonged to her. After weeks in captivity, with Margaret wanting to make a baby, she finally raped Todd, threatening to kill Blair and the children if he did not sleep with her. Todd was rescued by the most unlikely of rescuers -- Kevin -- and Todd reluctantly admitted that he was raped when Kevin pressed the issue. After rescuing Blair from the mental institution Asa had committed her to (after Blair had also been kidnapped by Margaret), Todd and Blair returned to Llanview to resume their lives, but Todd remained troubled by Margaret's rape of him, even having visions of Marty while drinking away the night at Victor Lord's mausoleum.
