 Young
but confident and with a strong strength of character, Tawny Richards is
initially the subject of an investigation led by Ric Castillo on a drug
traffic which is rampant in Santa Barbara. Tawny is the daughter of the
wealthy businessman Harland Richards, but without participating in the
shady methods he practices. She lives bad above all her father's
remarriage with Gretchen, a woman she hates, as a good spoiled daddy's
girl. She rightly suspects her of having married her father only for his
money.
Tawny
quickly suspects that Ric's intentions towards her are suspicious. She
even suspects him of being involved in the drug traffic. But their
budding complicity allows Tawny to forgive Ric when she discovers that
he get at first interested in her only for his investigation. Fallen in
love with Ric, Tawny asks her father to find a job for him in his
enterprises. Without knowing it, Tawny sends Ric becoming her father's
spy beside the Blue Sky Brigade, an environmental organization that this
latter fights. When Ric disappears one day, Tawny is concerned, but
remains confident in her father despite arising doubts. However she ends
up revealing Cruz Castillo that Ric works for her father.
When Ric
reappears several days later, he tells Tawny that her father is
dangerous and that she should be wary of him. Tawny realizes he is right
when her father is arrested to have blown up the Blue Sky Brigade
offices, causing the death of Nikki Alvarez. She saves him in any case
from a sure death by preventing Michael Donnelly, Nikki's fiancé, to
strangle her father out of revenge.
A
last revelation finally awaits Tawny. Ric tells her shortly after that
his mother told him he was the son of Harland, born of an adulterous
affair kept secret for too long. Realizing that they are thus
half-brother and sister, Tawny has no choice but to completely cut ties
with Ric. She then disappears of the show, shocked and devastated.
