Meanwhile, Duke has begun a relationship with Adriana Cramer; her mother Dorian Lord has hated the Buchanans for decades and despises the match. But when Adriana breaks up with Duke over her increasing feelings for Rex Balsom, Duke turns to alcohol and admits to Kelly that he has fallen in love with her. She convinces him that his feelings are not real, and they part. Later on in the St. James Church rectory, Duke again comes across Kelly, distraught from a horrible argument with Kevin.

He chooses Kelly, who he is told by the doctors is in more desperate need. Kevin is devastated when Duke dies on May 15, 2006, before he can be brought into surgery.
Initially blaming Kelly for Duke's death, Kevin goes off the deep end when he learns that Kelly is pregnant with Duke's child.

Andrew carries on and preaches love and tolerance. He brings the AIDS quilt project to Llanview, coinciding with a large donation to the project by ABC in order to show the quilt on-air.[6][7] At the quilt ceremony, Billy publicly comes out as gay, a groundbreaking plot turn as gay characters were rarely seen at the time.[8] The crisis serves to bring Andrew and Sloan to reconciliation and for Sloan to finally accept William's sexuality.
"I feel a big responsibility to make it work. We read about homophobia every day in the newspapers, but it's informational, not emotional. These scenes really hit you hard."[8]
—Wortham Krimmer on OLTL's 1992 homosexuality story arc
In May 1993, he comes to the aid of the woman who started the rumors against Andrew the previous year: Marty Saybrooke. After she is gang-raped by Todd Manning, Powell Lord III, and Zachary Rosen at the KAD Spring Fling, she runs to Andrew at the Rectory, and he helps her get through it. He takes her to get a rape exam, and urges her to press charges. He is a witness at the trial, and he and Cassie stayed with Marty after the rape occurred.
Andrew and Cassie marry in January 1993 and find out they are pregnant shortly after the wedding. Tragically, the baby dies at birth and Cassie is left unable to have children. Cassie finds an abandoned baby boy and brings him home. They name him William and plan to adopt him. The birth mother is revealed to be a teenager named Beth Garvey and she demands the baby back. The Carpenters are heartbroken to lose him. After Beth dies, Andrew and Cassie adopt the baby who is now named River.
Andrew grows close with Marty again and soon realizes he has developed reciprocal feelings for her. The pair come dangerously close to sleeping together, but they stop when they realize what it will do Cassie. Sloan becomes seriously ill and Andrew officiates his wedding to Vicki while he is hospitalized. Sloan sadly dies soon afterward.
For a short spell, the Carpenters enjoy a nice, quiet life. Cassie works as a journalist at The Banner and Andrew continues his work as a reverend. In 1997, Cassie and Andrew split up after Cassie cuckolds him with Kevin Buchanan. Cassie goes on to marry Kevin before departing Llanview in 1999.
Reverend Carpenter progressively appears infrequently in every year of the 2000s, primarily serving as minister for town religious functions. In 2009, he last officiates the marriage of his stepmother Viki to

Blair comes to Llanview in 1991 with a secret: she is the daughter of Dorian's older sister, Addie. Mentally ill and institutionalized for years, Addie is now hidden in Blair's loft. Blair blames Dorian for her mother's illness and her own childhood in foster care; Blair is apparently the result of Addie's rape at the hands of an unknown man in the sanitarium. Seeking revenge, Blair tries to ruin Dorian by getting her aunt's signature on a document confessing to the murder of her husband, Victor Lord, in 1976. Blair then plots to marry Asa Buchanan to gain the financial security and power she needs to care for her mother and destroy Dorian. It is revealed that Dorian had been told that Addie had died by their parents, who had institutionalized her. Blair and Dorian reconcile, and Dorian is tearfully reunited with Addie. Addie is placed in St. Ann's sanitarium for full-time care, but is visited often by her family.
Addie surprises the Cramers on Christmas Eve, 2007, when she appears at Dorian's home. Apparently recovered due to a new medication, Addie is anxious to make up for lost time. She sets things straight with on-again, off-again son-in-law
In June 2008, Addie reveals that she has married Dorian's ex-husband, David Vickers, but her torrid "friends with benefits" relationship with David comes to a swift end when she realizes he still carries a torch for Dorian; they part amicably.
With Dorian's departure in August 2011, Addie becomes the matriarch of the Cramer family in Llanview.

Meanwhile, Johnny has been romantically involved with Viki's half-sister Tina Lord, and soon a pregnant Tina is unsure whether the father of her baby is Johnny or her ex-husband Cord Roberts. Finding out about the baby and Tina's plans to reconcile with Cord, a distraught Johnny bursts into Llanfair, knocking Tina unconscious and attempting to kidnap her. Viki, unable to walk or speak, realizes that Tina's life is in danger; her long-dormant alternate personality Niki Smith emerges. As Niki, Viki is able to stand – and shoots Johnny to death.

However, an audio tape recorded in the room later exonerates her, and proves that Viki had acted in self-defense.[1][2]

Clayton-Powell "Powell" Lord III is a fictional character on the American
After being institutionalized after the rape of Marty Saybrooke, Powell bought the old fraternity house where Todd and Powell and friend Zach Rosen committed the crime that would haunt Powell. Clearly driven mad, he went to great lengths to put Kevin's room back together exactly as it was the night of the rape (right down to the fish in the tank and the posters on the walls). He and Rebecca Lewis arranged for Todd (in reality was Todd's twin Victor Lord Jr.), Tea Delgado, Blair Cramer, and Marty Saybrooke kidnapped, holding Victor "Todd" bound to the bed, threatening to kill him and Blair and Marty, as his way of atoning for his part in Marty's rape. Powell, clad in the same Frat sweater he wore the night of his crime against Marty, left Marty and "Todd" alone in the room and forced Blair and Tea to the basement at gunpoint and kept them captive in the utility room, which was leaking gas, poisoning the two women.
Rebecca later brought to Powell's attention that Chloe Brennan (Powell and Todd's mutual relative Jessica Buchanan's daughter) was in fact Todd's and Marty's granddaughter, Hope Thornhart. Powell tricked Victor into believing that he would let them go to raise Hope, but was ready to kill "Todd" at that moment. Victor goaded the cowardly cousin to do what he was threatening to do, only to be shot to death by John McBain. The basement exploded when Rebecca lit a match, but Tea, Blair, Marty, Victor, and Hope made it out alive with the help of John McBain, putting to rest the saga of insane Powell Lord III for good, along with the rape, leaving only a future with new grandchild/niece, Hope.

Luna is a funny, intelligent woman who is a Southern new-age Goddess worshiper. She believes in crystals, horoscopes and auras. She arrives in Llanview by parachute and falls in love with Max Holden. Max's eyes are set on Blair Cramer, so they decide to become business partners and open up a health spa called Serenity Springs. During that time, Max tells Luna that nothing romantic can happen between them. Luna starts her own radio show called "Love Line." In that time, she begins receiving poems and love letters from a guy named Suede Pruitt. Suede escapes from prison and makes his way to see Luna and ask for her help. He tells her he is innocent, so Luna consults the Goddess, who tells her he is telling the truth. Suede is accused of murdering his wife, Deborah, who looks like Luna. Suede tells Luna that Deborah's father, Marcus, is the killer. Max, Luna and Suede plan to set Marcus up to tell the truth. Max is shot and rushed to the hospital; Luna has to go into a trance to save him. After she saves him, he professes his love to her. They marry in December 1993 and she helps Max with gambling problems. Luna saves Al from death and gets struck by a car. She is paralyzed, but eventually regains the ability to walk. In May 1995, she has twins, Francis Thomas and Leslie Diana. Luna's brother is in danger with a gang called the Arrows, which leads to her getting shot in the stomach in the crossfire. She survives surgery, but later becomes feverish and dies in Max's arms.
Luna returns several times over the years as a spirit. She appears to Max after his son Al dies. Al's spirit begs Luna for a way to get back to Earth so that he can be with Marcie, the love of his life. She tried to help Al adjust to being dead, but then got the idea that he can return in another man's body so he can be with Marcie. This would be tricky as the rules stated that Al couldn't tell Marcie who he was really, and that he only had three months to get Marcie to fall for the new "Al". When Dr. Michael McBain collapsed from near-death allergy to a medicine he accidentally took, Marcie resuscitated him and Al's spirit replaced Michael's dead spirit. She then reappeared in 2012 with Gabrielle Medina and Megan Gordon to help guide the people they loved to the afterlife. She appears to Cole Thornhart after he is shot by Hannah O'Connor. She tells Cole he can either choose to enter heaven or return to life.[20] Her words make Cole reconsider. When Robert Ford stumbles into Heaven pleading for help, an unprepared Luna can only save one of them and chooses Cole.
