[edit] Character history

In 1998, Nora Buchanan's husband Bo was devastated when his son Drew, a police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Nora hoped to conceive a child to give Bo a reason to live; out of desperation she turned to former flame Sam Rappaport. The pregnancy pulled Bo back onto his feet, but he and Nora later divorced when it was revealed that Nora's son Matthew had been fathered by Sam.

Sam died in 2003, and it was revealed that Matthew was, in fact, Bo Buchanan's son. Still mourning Sam, the only father he'd ever known, Matthew slowly built a relationship with Bo. Matthew later suffered the death of his former "sister," Sam's daughter Jennifer Rappaport, with whom Matthew had become close. To make matters worse, it was eventually revealed that Jennifer had been murdered by Matthew's stepfather (Nora's husband) Daniel Colson in his effort to cover up a murder he had committed (and his homosexuality).

Matthew has shared a long friendship with Starr Manning, who often manages to get him tangled up in her schemes.
