Keith Timmons arrives in Santa Barbara to succeed to the post of district attorney left vacant. Very quickly, he shows a certain resentment towards the Capwells, who he will not cease to harass during the years that he will spend at this place. The origin of this almost hane is the fact that he takes Cruz Castillo for responsable of the death of his sister, Katie, ten years ago. Katie was then in love with Cruz, but he preferred Victoria Lane than her. Mad of jealousy, Katie then threw herself in the ocean the day she saw them embraced on the beach.

Cheating character, with a very particular humour, Keith knows his first lovestory in Santa Barbara with Santana Andrade. He tries at the beginning to abuse her whereas she is under the influence of the drugs that Gina DeMott makes her take without her knowledge... An adventure which does not last (Santana is at the time married with Cruz), but which enables him to meet Gina who will become the love of his life.

Without really daring to acknowledge their reciprocal love at the beginning, the couple will be able to be linked in the worst bad turns against the Capwells, Keith taking care for his part of the charges of murder : he arrests Cruz for the murder of Elena Nikolas whereas he knows his innocence, he makes a pleasure to indicate C.C. Capwell as the culprit of the murder of Hal Clark, throws a warrant to Mason for the murder of Mark McCormick even without any beginning of proof... Nothing stops him, not even Julia Wainwright, during a time his assistant, who will change of side without waiting more to become a lawyer. In 1988, he finally opens his heart to Gina, fearing to lose her when she begins a love-affair with Dr. Scott Clark who looks after her temporary blindness due to an accident. Keith quickly moves in at Gina’s, in spite of the presence of Brandon, Gina’s adoptive son, that Keith has some pain to support... and ends up marrying her. But being privy to an affair of corruption at the district attorney office, Keith sees himself constrained to leave the town, leaving without news the poor Gina.

He reappears two years and a divorce later, decided to reconquer her. But Gina has always difficulties to forgive him his hasty departure. At the same time as his envy to reconstruct his life with Gina, Keith has in charge the investigation on Robert Barr's murder, investigation which is going to allow him to pursue his vengeance against the Capwells. To make condemn Eden or Kelly (because he is not sure of the exact identity of the culprit, but it has no importance in his eyes), he signs a contract with Flame. He offers her immunity if she testifies against the Capwell sisters. He is quickly obliged to admit Kelly and Eden's innocence because Flame is the only culprit. Professionally discharged, Keith has only a single envy : to reconquer Gina in order to exist again. Furthermore, Keith is at this moment looked for by dangerous gangsters who want to institute in his life. Pursued in DisneyWorld park in Florida, he is assaulted by one of them, under Gina's eyes. Learning that she wishes to adopt a child without his participation, Keith faces the evidence, everything is finished between them. He leaves again the town, conscious that he does not have a place anymore either in Gina's life, or at the district attorney office, and this time definitively...
