Character History

Antonio, brother of Ricardo Torres, came to "Sunset Beach" early in 1998 when he got transferred to work back home. His brother had just started a relationship with Gabi Martinez, and their mother Carmen didn't approve of their relationship. Then Gabi met Antonio. Gabi and Antonio found themselves attracted to each other, but they kept denying the attraction. Ricardo and Gabi got engaged. When Gabi and Antonio ended up trapped in an exploding building, they thought they would die, so they slept together, and a camera filmed them. The tape of their lovemaking was later used by Francesca Vargas to blackmail Antonio and Gabi. Meanwhile, both Gabi, Antonio and Ricardo were involved in a Rosario jewels story.

When Francesca was murdered, Gabi and Antonio were possible suspects, but they actually didn't have anything to do with her murder. At Gabi and Ricardo's wedding, Carmen used the tape of their lovemaking to blackmail Gabi into leaving Ricardo at the altar, but they eventually got married and everything was going fine until Ricardo found the tape and decided to destroy Gabi and Antonio's life. Antonio and Gabi decided to forget about everything that happened between them, but Ricardo was there to ruin it. He spent months trying to ruin Antonio's life by calling an archbishop to take away Antonio, but eventually, the truth came out, Ricardo realized that he was wrong, and the brothers came to forgive each other for everything they've done, and Gabi left town.
