Not much was known about Marcello's past at first, but it was obvious he had an ulterior motive. He was actually seeking revenge against C.C. Capwell for the murder of his parents. (Of course, the truth was very different from Marcello's belief.) His plans were ruined by his sympathy for Kelly, whom he nearly killed during his attempt on C.C.'s life. Marcello stuck around in town until it was revealed that Sophia was revealed as Channing's (inadvertent) murderer. He was later imprisoned for killing Hank Judson.

She decided to stay in Santa Barbara, and she started a relationship with Cain. Major Phillip Hamilton asked for Andrea's assistance in reuniting Vietnamese families. Hamilton was actually Cain's former commanding officer and wanted revenge against Cain. He hired an actress named Ming Li to pose as Cain's daughter, in order to drive a wedge between Andrea and Cain. Phillip tried to seduce Andrea, but later realized that she only loved Cain. Cain started acting weird, so Andrea left town for a little time. When she returned, she realized that things hadn't changed. One day, Andrea was found murdered and raped on the beach.

(June 20, 1990-April 9, 1992)
Cassandra Benedict was a foster child of the Capwells, believed to have been killed in a cave-in in the tunnel between the Capwell and Lockridge estates -- an accident witnessed by four orphan boys who had been Cassie's friends. The boys made a pact to avenge her death. Years later, in 1990, they arrived in Santa Barbara as grown men - Ethan Asher, Stephen Slade, Craig Hunt and Derek Griffin, still haunted by the childhood tragedy. Derek in particular was obsessed with revenge -- he blamed Mason, who had tormented his foster sister. Just as Derek was preparing to execute Mason, Cassandra revealed herself to be alive. Cassie was welcomed back into the Capwell fold and made an honourary member of the family, quickly establishing herself as a force with which to be reckoned. Cassie managed to break up Mason's relationship with Julia.
Her life was turned upside down when she discovered her long-lost mother was actually town matriarch Minx Lockridge. Minx sought her illegitimate daughter's forgiveness for abandoning her. Embarrassed and hurt, Cassie rejected Minx and kept her origins a secret to protect her place in the Capwell family. Eventually, Mason's mother, Pamela, revealed the secret, out of spite. C.C. still accepted her as his child. Cassie's relationship with the Lockridges remained strained, especially with the return of her half-brother Lionel's son Warren. Years before, offscreen, Cassie and Warren had had a love affair in Singapore.
Mason and Cassie became engaged while Cassie and Warren fought their attraction. Warren was blamed when Mason was shot. Augusta later revealed the truth: that Warren was not Lionel's biological son. This should have paved the way for a Cassie-Warren reunion. It was too late, however, since Warren was now in love with Angela Cassidy. Obsessed with Warren, Cassie tried to destroy Angela by uncovering Angela's role in her sister Marilyn's mysterious death. When she tried to poison Angela, Lionel was the unintended victim. Heart-broken, Minx shipped her unbalanced daughter off to a mental hospital.

During one of their activities, Hayley threw a projectile that ended up exploding and killing Amy Perkins Wallace. Ted married Hayley so he wouldn't have to testify against her.
Things got more complicated when Ted's ex-girlfriend Laken Lockridge returned to town. At the same time, Hayley was raped by an unknown attacker. She sought comfort in Ted, who couldn't be around her anymore. Hayley then ended up with Jake Morton.

(September 4, 1989-September 21, 1990)
Mack Blake, Gina's brother, came to town in 1989: somewhat of a surprise, as Gina had never mentioned a brother. Trouble tended to follow Mack during his brief stay in Santa Barbara: upon arrival, he was immediately accused of stealing a Porsche from his former lover, Yvonne Bartelo. Later, Ilsa, a colleague at the Capwell fitness center (where Mack was a trainer), accused him of stealing jewels. In both cases, Mack proved his innocence. Finally, another lover of Mack's, Gretchen Richards, attempted to talk him into murdering her wealthy husband, Harland. When Mack refused, Gretchen accused him anyway. After he was exonerated, Mack left town.
Gina was suspicious of Mack throughout his stay in Santa Barbara and believed him to be a bad influence on Brandon. However, the truth was that Mack spent a lot of time with Brandon, giving him pointers in life and acting as a role model.
Like Gina, Mack was a close friend to Laura Asher; he was surprised to find out that his sister Gina was having an affair with Laura's husband Ethan.

After learning of Gina's affair with Ethan Asher, Phyllis managed to get hired as Ethan's secretary in order to investigate Ethan's wife Laura. She learned that Laura had committed a murder and blackmailed her, until Gina convinced her to stop. Phyllis's gambling became a problem as well, as it led Phyllis to neglect to pay Gina's insurance premium: when the Lockridge mansion burned down, the two women became homeless. Gina then started pretending to be blind, and Phyllis helped her smuggle paintings out of the Capwell mansion, until they were both stopped by C.C. Capwell. Phyllis left town shortly thereafter, having come to the conclusion that she brought nothing but trouble to her daughter.

He had turned his back on his family and developed a new identity out of devastation when his brother Brian killed himself after their parents had institutionalized him for embarrassing the family name. When Pearl heard that the same corrupt Dr. Rawlings who had run the institution where Brian had died was now treating Kelly Capwell after she was locked up for going insane from killing Dylan Hartley in self-defense, he posed as a patient and had himself committed in order to investigate the matter undercover. In the process, he fell in love with Kelly (to Courtney's chagrin) and helped her escape the institution; the Capwells sent Kelly off to stay with family friends in Switzerland until they could convince Gina to hand over the videotape proving that she had killed Dylan in self-defense. Pearl and Courtney eventually discovered that Dr. Rawlings was practicing medicine without a doctor's degree and he was jailed after he tried to kill them; in the process, they discovered that Brian was actually alive. They eventually tracked down Brian, who at first was angry with Pearl due to a misheard conversation between his parents and Pearl; he had thought Pearl hated him when in fact Pearl was sticking up for Brian. They reconciled and Brian eventually figured out that Courtney had killed her sister Madeline; Courtney revealed that it was in self-defense and fled town, and Brian left town shortly thereafter.
In early 1987, Pearl was supposed to go to Switzerland to secretly bring Kelly back home, but a tail from Gina and Keith's PI forced a last-minute change of plans and Jeffrey Conrad went in Pearl's place. When Kelly and Jeffrey eventually returned to Santa Barbara, Pearl was devastated to find out they had fallen in love. Aside from helping Cruz open a detective agency, Pearl had no more major storylines of his own and eventually disappeared from the canvas without an explanation in April 1988.

(March 12, 1986-December 18, 1986)
C.C.'s niece Courtney arrived in town from Boston in March 1986 with her sister Madeline; she was as kind and sweet as Madeline was snobbish and vain. She and Pearl Bradford met during the course of a scavenger hunt and fell in love. Madeline was murdered shortly thereafter and Courtney was intent on finding her sister's killer. The leading suspect was Madeline's husband David Laurent, who had been having an affair with his business colleague Sheila Carlisle, but he was acquitted and left town. Later, Courtney was devastated when Pearl fell in love with Kelly Capwell while he was undercover as a patient where Kelly was institutionalized to save her from the corrupt doctor in charge, Dr. Rawlings. Still, she helped Pearl put Dr. Rawlings away and track down his brother Brian, who had been presumed dead after having been in Dr. Rawlings' care back in Boston.
While the storyline of Madeline's murder had been dropped for months, suddenly in late fall 1986 Courtney began waking up screaming from nightmares and seeing blood on her hands. She became more and more unraveled and unsuccessfully tried to pin her sister's murder on Keith Timmons, who had secretly been having an affair with Madeline. Brian Bradford, who claimed never to have encountered a murder mystery that he couldn't solve, came to the conclusion that Courtney must have been the one who killed Madeline. He talked a reluctant Pearl into forcing Courtney to watch a staged reenactment of the murder at the bungalow where it had happened to force the truth to the surface. Courtney told them that it was true that she killed Madeline, but it wasn't murder; Madeline had devised an elaborate plot to kill Courtney so she could have their inheritance all to herself, and Courtney was forced to kill her in self-defense. She let David stand trial for the murder because she had seen him come in, find Madeline and know she still had a pulse, and flee without calling for help, so it was clear that he had hoped she'd die. Pearl found a bullet in the wall that corroborated her story. None of them said anything further about the matter and Courtney left town.

Jack Lee was first introduced as the lawyer of C.C. Capwell. He tried to seduced Augusta Lockridge, but then crossed paths with her sister Julia, who immediately recognized him, though he had no idea who she was. However, he pretended to recognize her and they started a relationship. Jack started acting strangely when it was revealed that he was the father of Amy Perkins' unborn child. Jack's confusion was understandable: he was actually Jerry Cooper, Jack's look-alike cousin: he had imprisoned his cousin, whom he was impersonating.
Jerry killed his accomplice Dr. Renfro so his crimes wouldn't be revealed. He kidnapped his child and left town, while Jack was released from his imprisonment. Jack, however, wasn't as innocent as everyone thought: he had planned to separate Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo. Jack disappeared rather suddenly (due to Joel Crothers's failing health), and his storyline was rewritten for a new character, Kirk Cranston, Jack's adoptive son.

The family found it strange when Minx employed Brick Wallace to work at her mansion, only to have it revealed later that Brick was actually the son of Sophia and Lionel whom Minx has switched with another child so she wouldn't have to watch the Capwells raising him.

Amy and Brick got married soon after that, but things took a turn for the worse when Amy was killed in a fire at the bar she was working. In order to honor Amy, Brick bought the place where she was killed with Lily Blake's help.
Amy was killed by Hayley Benson who accidentally lit a fire at the bar. When Hayley ended up getting raped, Brick was one of the suspects, especially after his boots were identified as the ones the rapist was wearing. Brick was imprisoned but released when it was proved that he had nothing to do with Hayley's rape. Brick met Jane Wilson and they quickly fell in love. He changed his life by entering the police academy but didn't stay long after he helped Cruz Castillo escape from prison. He then chose to leave town with Jane and Johnny, Amy's baby.
