[edit] Character history
[edit] Pre-Show
Luis grew up as the second oldest of five children in a poor Irish-Mexican family. Luis was forced to take over as the man of the house after graduating high school because his older brother Antonio had left town -- Antonio had initially looked after all the younger children in the over-a-decade since their father, Martin, had disappeared. This led to him becoming the "man of the house" and the only kind of father figure for younger siblings Theresa & Miguel. In high school, Luis became known as a superstar for his excellence in sports and academics. He became high school sweethearts with Beth Wallace, but broke things off with her.
[edit] Storylines
Unknowing to Luis, now a police officer, his life would change forever in 1999 when lonely heiress Sheridan Crane, crashed her car into his. Although they were annoyed by each other at first, this turned to love. But love would not come as easy for Luis & Sheridan, as they spent years overcoming obstacle after obstacle. One of their biggest obstacles was Sheridan's father, Alistair Crane, who has always despised Sheridan and wanted to make her life miserable. He even went as far as to try to kill both her and Luis on their "honeymoon" by blowing up their boat. Although the citizens of Harmony believes that Sheridan was dead, Luis never gave up hope. And he was right not to, for an amnesiac Sheridan, (going by the name Diana) had washed ashore on the island of St. Lisa and was rescued by local guy Brian O' Leary, who actually turned out to be Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald, Luis' long-lost older brother."Brian" & "Diana" fell in love and when they arrived in Harmony, they caused quite a stir. During Sheridan's absence, Luis had grudgingly gotten engaged to his ex-flame, Beth Wallace. But while he was quick to end things with Beth, Sheridan wasn't able to do the same with Antonio.
