Brief Character History
Tina burst into town after her mother, Irene Clayton, realized she was going to die, so she left Tina to live with her good friend Victoria Lord. Soon after, Ted Clayton, Tina's supposed father came to Llanview, but he was actually Tom Clarkson and he'd come to town to con Tina and Viki out of their inheritance. He kidnapped Tina, but was caught and sent to jail. He then escaped and planned to kill Tina, but was shot down by Det. Ed Hall. After this, Tina decided to leave town.
Tina later returned searching for her real father. That led her to find a secret room at Llanfair where she found out Victor Lord was her father. Mitch Laurence convinced her to make Viki go crazy in order to gain all the inheritance. Mitch wanted to kill Clint and frame Niki for the crime to get her out of the way. But Tina wasn't going to allow that and a struggle ensued. Mitch shot and accidentally killed Harry O'Neill, but Tina was arrested for the crime. Later, thanks to testimony by Niki, Tina was cleared of all charges.
Tina then fell for Clint Buchanan and faked a pregnancy, but Dorian exposed her. Clint was not in love with Tina, he was just using her, hoping the shock of seeing them together would get Viki to take over Niki.
Tina then fell in love with Cord Roberts, Clint's long lost son. Tina married Cord, but Maria Roberts, Cord's mother, hired Max Holden to take Tina to Argentina, where she realized she was pregnant. Cord then followed her, but a fall down the Iguazu Falls led everyone to believe she had died. But Tina did survive and met Gabrielle Medina, who had just given birth to Max Holden's child. Tina let Gabrielle believe that she and Max were married, so Gabrielle agreed to give her the baby to be raised by Tina and Max. When Tina returned to Llanview, she pretended that the baby was hers with Cord. Maria found out the baby, named Al, was actually Max and Gabrielle's baby and blackmailed Tina into divorcing Cord. Maria then wanted to frame Tina with Viki's murder, but her plan backfired and Maria died instead. Tina was arrested, but later found innocent.
Tina and Max later learned Tina's son hadn't died when she fell over the waterfall. He was actually alive and being held captive by Rolo. The couple rescued him and named him Clinton James. Tina and Max were about to get married, but when Tina said Cord's name during the ceremony instead of Max's, Max called off the wedding.
Tina and Cord reconciled and remarried in a double ceremony with Asa and Renee. At the wedding, Tina's arch-nemesis, Ursula, planted a bomb in the wedding cake to kill her, but Max's brother, Steve Holden, became the victim instead. Cord and Tina's second wedding hit the rocks thanks to Tina's lies and deceptions. Tina realized she was pregnant and gave birth to Sarah during a blizzard. After this, Tina and Cord remarried for the third time.
Cord traveled to Java to rescue Jake Harrison, but General Gaza shot him and Cord was presumed dead. Tina moved on to Cain Rogan, but this marriage also hit the rocks.
After Dorian Lord was tried and convicted of killing Victor Lord in 1976, a man claiming to be Irene Manning's illegitimate son by Victor Lord turned up with Irene's diary, in which Irene admitted to having killed Victor. The man was David Vickers, and Tina found herself sexually attracted to him, even though he was supposedly her brother. The two even made love, after which David admitted he was only pretending to be the long-lost Lord heir. The two eloped in Las Vegas, but were later forced to divorce by Viki's alter Jean Randolph, who threatened to expose David as a fraud. David skipped town and Tina later got a job offer in Baltimore as a personal shopper at Logan's department store there, taking her children with her.
In 2003, Tina and Cord's grown daughter Sarah (now calling herself "Flash") returned to Llanview. Sarah revealed that during Tina's absence from Llanview, she had reconnected with Cain and forbidden her from pursuing her musical aspirations. She even claimed Tina's parenting had driven her and her brother CJ to run away. Sarah came back looking for her brother but later learned he had joined the Navy and was out to sea, unable to be reached.
In May 2008, the Crown Jewels of Mendorra were stolen when they arrived in Llanview for display at Lindsay Rappaport's art gallery. Dealing with this crisis, U.S. Ambassador to Mendorra Jonas Chamberlain arrived at the Llanview airport to greet the incoming crown princess of Mendorra, who turned out to be none other than Tina. Tina subsequently met with corrupt Llanview Police Commissioner Lee Ramsey, who had stolen the jewels at her request. While Tina was in Lee's penthouse, Ramsey was gunned down by people looking for the jewels, and Tina escaped unharmed with the jewels. It then turned out the men were hired by Jonas Chamberlain, who wanted the jewels for himself. Tina found refuge with her estranged daughter, Sarah, and Sarah's boyfriend Cristian Vega. Soon Cristian and his brother, Llanview Police Detective Antonio Vega, discovered that Jonas had abducted Sarah and her roommate Talia Sahid, Antonio's lover and fellow police officer. Tina and the Vegas agreed to accompany Jonas back to Mendorra in order to make an exchange: the women for the Crown Jewels.
In Mendorra, Tina got the royal treatment from her palace staff and was reunited with her husband, Crown Prince Helmut Krakoff, who turned out to really be Cain Rogan in yet another disguise. Meanwhile, the real mastermind behind the kidnappings revealed himself to be Carlo Hesser, who it turned out was Talia's birth father. Cain was anxious to keep the jewels they had worked so hard for, but Tina was desperate to exchange them for Sarah. Carlo, bent on revenge for Tina's part in Johnny Dee's death, exposed her and Cain's fraud publicly and revealed Jonas as the true heir to the throne. Carlo and his minions dragged Tina, Sarah and Cristian to the river above the treacherous Hohenstein Falls, where a horrified Tina watched as Carlo tied Sarah to a raft and sent her and Cristian over the falls, deliberately echoing Tina's own nearly-fatal plunge over the Iguazu Falls in 1987. Carlo then set out to behead Cain and Tina for treason. But Cristian, who managed to survive the plunge, returned to the palace and saved Tina and Cain. Sarah also reappeared alive, just in time to join the others in their escape. A duplicitous Cain later parachuted from the plane with the Crown Jewels - not knowing that Tina had already switched the gems with fakes. In Llanview, Tina was reunited with Viki at the airport and then with Cord at Llanfair. Tina hoped for a reconciliation with Cord, but after he heard about all the drama that had been going on, he told her she had not changed and that they could never be together again.
With Viki out of town for an extended trip to Africa, Tina moved back into Llanfair to look after Viki's daughters Jessica and Natalie. While Natalie welcomed her aunt, Jessica was cold and rude. Tina was unaware that Jessica actually was Tess, her dangerous alternate personality, who was plotting revenge against Natalie and her boyfriend, Jared Banks, for their part in the recent death of Nash Brennan, Jessica's husband and the love of Tess' life. Tina, who had stashed her jewels in the wall safe at Llanfair, soon became increasingly suspicious of Jessica's strange actions. She and her beloved Shih Tzu, which Tina had named David Vickers, went snooping in the basement and discovered that a lavish, soundproofed room had been built below the house. Tina reflected on her memories of stumbling upon Victor Lord's secret room all those years ago and how one of Viki's alters once had trapped Dorian in a similar room, and she soon realized that Tess was in control. Tess trapped Tina and her dog in the room but soon released her and trapped Natalie in the room instead, blackmailing Tina to keep quiet with the threat of exposing her theft of the jewels.
Jared also eventually figured out that Tess was in control and confronted Tina, who admitted the truth and gave him the key to gain access to the secret room. But as soon as Jared had gained access to the locked room, Tess showed up and trapped Jared in the room with Natalie. Tina, meanwhile, was shocked when Cain Rogan showed up at Llanfair intent on reclaiming the real jewels. Cain ate some dip that Tess had drugged and fell over unconscious. When Viki returned home unexpectedly, Tina and Tess dragged Cain onto the patio outside. When they returned, Cain was gone. Tina sent David Vickers after Cain, but then the dog disappeared too. Then Tina got a package in the mail: a photo of kidnapped David Vickers.
