Long and full of disappointments, the life of Santana knew as many reversals of situation than changes of interpreters... Santana is, in her young years, the girlfriend of Channing Capwell Junior before C.C., his father, discovers it and forces them to separate, refusing to see his son frequent the daughter of the domestic and the gardener of the mansion. But it turns to be that Santana is pregnant and at the birth of her son, she is constraint by C.C. to give up the child. Adopted by Stockman DeMott and his wife Gina, the young Brandon will be the object of many transactions in the trio Santana-C.C.-Gina.

It is at the arrival in town of Gina DeMott in 1984 that Santana takes again the hope to catch up the time wasted with Brandon. She approaches Gina then C.C. to try to make him act on the legal guard of her son. But C.C. ends by resisting her and decides to marry Gina to keep his grandson at the mansion. Gina however quickly learns the identity of the biological mother of Brandon and, at the moment of her divorce with C.C., then starts a fight for the guard of the child. Santana launches out then in attempts of kidnapping on her own son, once even helped by... Augusta Lockridge. This one indeed wants to see moving away Brandon since she knows that he is the grandson of her husband, Lionel, who is in fact the real father of Channing Junior.

C.C., making his justice relations working, promises to offer to Santana the guard of Brandon if she gets married and is able to offer a stable life of family to him. It is at this moment that Cruz Castillo, his childhood boyfriend coldly separated from Eden, proposes her to marry him, eager to help her to recover the child. Thus married to Cruz, Santana settles at the beach house with Brandon, leaving Gina full of rancour developping her next plan. Benefitting from the absence of Santana and with the complicity of Keith Timmons, Gina replaces her tranquillisers by tablets of drug which make Santana dependent and quickly incompetent to control herself. Tired and without forces, she must enter in a rehabilitation center.

She comes out of there only two years later, in 1989, and tries a new time to kidnap Brandon to Gina. Arrested, she is put in a asylum. In 1991, Santana quickly discovers that, despite the drugs he gives her, her doctor, Dr. Grant Jameson, is a dangerous malefactor. She succeeds in escaping the asylum while taking with her proofs of the experiences realized by the doctor on his patients. Reversed by Dr Jameson's car, Santana is left dead by him. She however refinds Cruz and Warren Lockridge, who support her during her trial against the doctor. Santana ends in a first time to lose her trial, but Jameson is finally condamned for all his misdeeds.

By a hazardous fate, Santana then falls in love with C.C. Capwell, the man who formerly stole her son, and settles with him at the Capwell mansion. In spite of her mother Rosa's reticences, Santana is well decided to find her place in the heart of the Capwell patriarch. She finally falls pregnant, but has a miscarriage during the rehearsal for her wedding with C.C.. Rejected by C.C., she then prefers to definitively leave the town for New York, far away from her family and Brandon...
