Character Information

Dylan is the illegitimate offspring of a young Reva Shayne and Billy Lewis. He ran around with Harley Cooper as a young man, and left her pregnant when he was sent to jail for bank robbery. She never told him about the pregnancy and gave the child (Daisy Lemay) away for adoption before moving on with Alan-Michael Spaulding. When he was released from prison, he and Harley tracked Daisy down but decided she was better off with her adoptive parents. While his reappearance complicated Harley's failing marriage with Alan-Michael, he left her side to be with his under-aged lover Samantha Marler. A mentally unbalanced Reva helped them elope before almost killing them when she drove off a bridge. While he mourned his mother's supposed death, he tried to move on with a paralyzed Samantha, but she pushed him away. He then went through a string of women and shady business deals before being blinded in a car accident. His sight returned over time and he married Bridget Reardon and moved away. That marriage later fell apart. He returned to Springfield in 2007 to help Harley with their daughter. A year later, Dylan left Springfield again, first leaving town on business, then presumably to reconcile with his ex-wife Bridget Reardon who had been living in Michigan near her family since she and Dylan divorced in 2007. As of 2009, he returned to Springfield for his father's wedding and has continued trying to reconcile with Bridget. He was also introduced to his daughter's boyfriend, James Spaulding.
