Brief Character History
Lindsay Rappaport arrived in town in 1998 after her ex-husband, Sam Rappaport, had come to Llanview. Lindsay soon found herself a man, Clint Buchanan. He was on the rebound from Victoria Lord Carpenter. The two of went to Las Vegas together to find Lindsay's son, Will Rappaport and bring him back to Llanview. While Clint and Lindsay were in Las Vegas they got married. Lindsay and Clint's marriage was ruined when Lindsay gave Jessica Buchanan and Cristian Vega money to go elope. Jessica was Clint's daughter and Clint didn't like that at all. They got a divorce. Nora represented Clint in court and Sam represented Lindsay.
After Bo Buchanan and Nora separated, Lindsay started to get very friendly with Bo. She wanted him all to herself, so she changed his DNA test results so it said he couldn't have any children. That meant Nora's child, Matthew was Sam's. That meant Nora had cheated on him with Sam. But then it was found out that Bo's original test was changed by Lindsay, so they did a test to see if Matthew was Sam's kid or Bo's. Lindsay paid a man named Barnes, the lab technician, $500,000.00 to change the results. Lindsay could never find out if Barnes ever changed the results or not. The results came that Matthew was Sam's, but at that time we didn't know if it's the truth or not.
Then Bo's niece, Jessica became pregnant by Lindsay's son, Will. When she was pregnant, she got hit by Dorian Lord Hayes in a hit-and-run. The baby, Megan, died and Jessica lived, but didn't have her memory. They couldn't find out who did it, and then all the clues started to point to Lindsay. She was soon arrested by Bo, but he didn't believe she was guilty. Sam agreed to be Lindsay's lawyer. Lindsy had an alibi, but since it was that she was at the lab changing the test results that night, she couldn't confess to that or she would lose Bo. Lindsay was eventually cleared of the charges when Jessica regained her memory and Dorian decided to confess at exactly the same time.
Lindsay and Bo were getting married, they made it all the way to the altar when Nora interrupted the ceremony with the information she'd discovered, that Lindsay had tampered with the DNA tests. They went to discuss the situation in private and Lindsay told Bo the truth, that she was pregnant with his child. But when Bo called the wedding off for good, she lied and said she wasn't pregnant, not wanting him to stay with her only for the sake of the baby. A few weeks later, Lindsay miscarried after having a fight with Nora.
Lindsay found her way to get back at Nora after she was involved in a train wreck and rescued by Colin MacIver, Lindsay's brother-in-law. Lindsay was the first to find out that Nora was still alive, all the rest of her family and friends thought she was dead. Lindsay thought if she could keep Nora out of the way long enough, she would be able to get close to Bo again and marry him. So Lindsay made a deal with Colin to keep Nora a prisoner in return for helping him get back together with his wife, Melanie, who is Lindsay's sister. When Nora found out about Lindsay's involvement in her kidnapping, Lindsay gave her a memory erasing drug so Nora couldn't incriminate her. Nora eventually made it home safely and was determined to prove Lindsay was involved in her kidnapping. In the meantime, Lindsay paid Colin blackmail money to keep her involvement secret and she got the money from Asa Buchanan, who she blackmailed because she learned he hired the hit man who shot Ben Davidson. Lindsay's son, Will, discovered the secret that she had drugged Nora, and Jen, who had just arrived in town, was upset about her affair with Colin.
Will left town, and Lindsay began to get close to her daughter. Then Jen began seeing Cristian Vega, whom Lindsay thought entirely inappropriate for Jen. When Jen failed to heed her warnings, Lindsay took action. She hired someone to set up a website of Cris parading around in his underwear, and made sure Jen saw it. This broke them up effectively for a time, but Jen eventually found out Lindsay was behind the website and cut her out of her life.
Lindsay tried various methods of getting her back, and decided the only way was to get Cristian out of the picture. She found out Cristian was working undercover to collect evidence against RJ Gannon. She told RJ what was going on and an indignant RJ set a hit man on Cris. Cris broke up with Jen and moved to New York City (to protect her, but Jen didn't know it at the time) and Lindsay and Jen reconciled. Finally, the hit man was put behind bars, and Jen and Cris reunited.
But during Cris's stay in New York, Jen had a one-night stand with Al Holden, which Lindsay gleefully pounced on. She changed the results of Jen's pregnancy test to positive, so she and Al would be forced to have a relationship. Jen found out she wasn't pregnant, but not before Cris and Al had a fight and Al ended up paralyzed from the waist down.
Troy MacIver, Colin's identical twin, fell in love with Nora Buchanan and was determined to get the truth out of Lindsay: that she had drugged Nora. He wanted her to pay. So he faked infatuation with Lindsay, but was secretly taping all her conversations, hoping she would confess to drugging Nora. Finally, Troy got engaged to Lindsay, and lured her to the abandoned funhouse outside Llanview. He pretended to be Colin and got her to confess that she had indeed drugged Nora on tape. Lindsay had let it slip that Jen knew about it, too. Lindsay panicked when she heard she was taped and chained Troy to a wheel in the funhouse, demanding she be told where the tape was. Troy never told her: he was eventually rescued by Sam. Nora and Lindsay found the tape just at the same time, and Lindsay threw the tape into the garbage compressor. Nora went into after it and so did Lindsay, and they narrowly escaped with their lives, but Nora ended up with the tape and Lindsay was arrested.
Troy told her she'd better confess or he would tell Jen she changed the results of her pregnancy test, resulting in the breakup of she and Cristian and Al's paralysis, since he had it on tape. Lindsay agreed to confess, as long as Jen would not be forced to testify. Troy agreed not to tell Jen. Lindsay is currently going on trial for Nora's drugging and is faking a mental breakdown to try and get out of it. Though she was released, her problems were far from over. Trouble with Troy and the evil Mitch Laurence would unhinge Lindsay, in a fit of jealousy tried to kill Troy! Unfortunately, she fatally shot Sam instead. Weeks later, she confessed, first to Jen, and then to the police. Filled with guilt, Lindsay came unglued for real this time and was sent to St. Ann's. Months later, she was deemed fit to be released as an out patient.
Released, Lindsay sought to lead a quiet, uncomplicated life and fell for D.A. Daniel Colson. Unfortunately, things would get complicated again when Lindsay found herself attracted to a younger man--her former son-in-law, Rex Balsom! Although they tried to fight the attraction, their passions ignited and they began an affair. In the end, they were discovered which damaged not only Lindsay's relationship with Daniel but also her relationship with her daughter,
Once Lindsay and Rex were over with, Lindsay tried to focus herself on running her art gallery, with one of her few friends being R.J. Gannon. The two eventually became much closer, but Lindsay's world stopped when her daughter Jennifer was found dead, her death believed to be a suicide. Although still devastated by Jen's passing, Lindsay testified at the custody hearing for Jamie Vega, lending R.J. her support.
As Lindsay is recovering from her grief, she told RJ that she wants to have a baby with him. He seemed a bit hesitant and never really agreed to anything. As RJ went to visit Nora in the hospital, he told Nora that he planned on asking Lindsay to marry him. Lindsay understood that he was proposing and accepted but it turned out that RJ was simply saying that to wake Nora out of her coma. When he later proposed, Lindsay said no. The two ended up parting ways.
Dorian and Lindsay were there for each other as their romantic relationships fell apart. They ended up teaming up with each other to break up Bo/Paige and Clint/Viki so that they could have the men for themselves. Dorian managed to break Clint and Viki up but Lindsay decided to give up on breaking up Bo and Paige and took the high road. Eventually, Paige left the country to join Doctors Without Borders and Lindsay and Bo became closer.
Marcie gave Lindsay a huge shock as she revealed that she nominated her as Llanview's Woman of the Year and that she had won. Unfortunately for her, Nora was the presenter of the award and Lindsay feared that Nora would ruin her night as she had ruined Nora's years ago. At the award ceremony, Nora played nice and presented the award in a way that honored Lindsay. Sadly, Lindsay was arrested for the murder of Spencer Truman and made no effort to defend herself when Marcie defended her.
