Character History

A complex character, the patriarch of the Capwell family, an authoritative and protective family father is a short description of C.C. Capwell. The 'protective' part has a significant role in the series because C.C. never liked any of his children's relationships. He was against Kelly's lovers Joe Perkins, [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAVv-emeY3I C.C. against Joe] ] Nick and Dylan Hartley, Jeffrey Conrad and others. He also never cared for Eden's lover Cruz Castillo. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq7Hmcmw4qs C.C. doesn't approve] ] He also loved his grandchildren, Brandon DeMott, Channing Jr. and others. In the past, C.C. had many wives, Pamela Pepperidge, Sophia Wayne, Gina DeMott and had many other girlfriends. C.C. was very attached to his children, so every time something happened to them, he had a huge reaction. The most memorable was when he learned that his deceased son Channing Capwell Jr. was gay. He fell in a coma afterwards. He also had as heart attack at one point of the show. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PzWlowcjso C.C. has a heart attack] ]

He also had illegitimate children. In 1987 he learned that Elena Nikolas (who kidnapped and tried to kill his daughter Eden) was actually his daughter with Pamela. Later, when his ex-girlfriend Megan Richards came to town, he learned that Greg Hughes was his son. He was also the father of Gina's child, a product of Gina stealing C.C.'s sperm from the Santa Barbara sperm bank. C.C. was known to have a very tough relationship with his son Mason [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1FAB9rCvgQ Mason with a sword] ] , who always seemed to find himself on the other side of the road. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFtLTHLf96s C.C. and Mason fight] ] C.C. disapproved of almost everything Mason did, but from time to time they found themselves interfering in each other's lives, professionally or romantically. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=344RAiuAwD0 C.C. tells his son that he loves him] ]

At the beginning of the series, C.C. was involved with Gina DeMott. He gave her a home to stay after learning that she adopted the child of his deceased son Channing. Things started to change when C.C.'s ex-presumed-dead-wife Sophia Wayne returned from the dead [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJPXPgoEEuY C.C. sees Sophia] ] . Gina was later, in 1986, revealed to be a big plotter and C.C. openly confronted her about it. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5KMBteIzvc C.C. blasts Gina] ] C.C. remained faithful to Sophia even though he had various relationship during the series. In the beginning, C.C. started a relationship with Santana Andrade, but their love was stopped by Gina, who had Santana's child. Santana then left town, but later, in 1991, Santana [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9yeFbEBTdY Santana and C.C.] ] and C.C. started a brief relationship together until she miscarried and decided to leave town. At the very end, C.C. and Sophia reunited. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLzg6XwP3vc C.C. and Sophia's final exchange] ]
