Portrait

C.C. Capwell is a family father as you do not see anymore of them : authoritative, directing, narrow-minded... In short, a hell for his many wives and children who aspire to a little independence, but perhaps precisely because the love of his family is the most important for him. C.C. first disavows all the fiancés of his daughters : in 1984, he refuses to see Kelly in love again with Joe Perkins, then always presumed guilty of the murder of his son Channing Junior. Thereafter, these are the Hartley brothers, Nick then Dylan, that he thinks inapt to deserve his daughter. Finally in 1987, he risks the indisposition while learning that Kelly, always her, is engaged to Jeffrey Conrad, the son of his first wife, Pamela !

If he defends his children, he defends also his grandchildren, at least the presumed ones, like Brandon DeMott, Channing Junior and Santana Andrade's hidden son. If he decides to marry Gina DeMott, Brandon's adoptive mother in 1985, it is before everything to keep his grandson next to him, while preserving him from Santana. The strength of his love for his children can, from an extreme to another, leads him to hate as towards Mason, his eldest son from his first marriage whose threats to banish him from his will are become regular. Because Mason is far away from looking like the icon of the model son that represented Channing Junior for C.C.. As a proof, when he learns that this last one was gay, he immediately falls into coma !

C.C.'s best weapon : the cheque book. An invading enemy approach to his family : he tightens him a cheque in the exchange of a promise of exile. C.C. tries this technique on several occasions : with Pamela when she comes to disturb Kelly and Jeffrey's wedding, or with Keith Timmons when he accuses him of Hal Clark's murder, years before. Another characteristic of C.C. : his propensity to discover after many years illegitimate children he didn't know the existence. First, Elena Nikolas in 1987, whose existence had been hidden to him by Pamela, secretly pregnant when she ran away in England years ago. Thereafter it is Greg Hugues, in 1989, the son he had without knowing it with Megan Richardson. He was even going  to marry her that year, before she learns she suffers of leukemia and leaves the town, alone. By extension, he also finds himself in 1991 as the father of Gina's baby, this one having insemined herself a dose of C.C.'s sperm, stolen at the sperm bank of Santa Barbara !

Because C.C. has a problem with the opposite sex, specially his propensity to always push back his ex-wives, that it is Pamela, Gina and even Sophia when she reappears after some long years of absence in 1984. But Sophia will however remain the real love of his life and he will have no cease to try to marry her again, even by forcing her a little sometimes. And even if he multiplies the conquests (from the journalist Lydia Saunders to Santana Andrade from who he had formerly removed Brandon, passing by Angela Raymond), C.C. remains always faithful to Sophia. When she becomes a widow after her last wedding with Ken Mathis, C.C. is there, free, and awaits her...
