Character History

The story of Santana Andrade began years before the show appeared on the screens. Santana was the lover of Channing Capwell Jr., but their love was forbidden by his father C.C. Santana found out that she was pregnant and she was forced to give up the child, who was later adopted by Stockman DeMott and his wife Gina. The same son would later reappear with Gina in Santa Barbara. Santana found out that Brandon was her son and she tried to get him, but ended up leaving town in late 1984.

Santana reappeared in town in early 1985. She was keen on getting her son and she even got help from Augusta Lockridge to kidnap her son, [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67QzrAW5hzA Santana and August plot] ] but things didn't work out the way Santana wanted. Gina was keen on keeping Brandon for herself. Santana was then helped out by Cruz Castillo, a man who recently broke up with Eden Capwell. They married in hopes of Santana getting her son back. Gina then schemed to make Santana a pill addict, so Santana was eventually forced to enter a rehab center. At the time, Santana was also involved with Keith Timmons.

Santana returned in 1989 with yet another try to kidnap Brandon, but was immediately caught and put into an asylum. She then returned in 1991, as a patient in the asylum of Dr. Grant Jameson, a malefactor. Santana escaped from his asylum and was then run over by Jameson. She later went to trial to condemn Jameson and although it seemed like she will lose, she ended up beating Jameson and putting him behind bars. Santana then fell in love with C.C. Capwell, [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9yeFbEBTdY C.C. and Santana] ] a man who once stole her son, and although her mother Rosa warned her to leave him, Santana was keen on finally being happy in love. She got pregnant but later lost the child and then chose to leave town.
