[edit] Overview
A sixteen year old Tina Clayton arrived in Llanview in 1978 to stay with her godmother, Viki Lord Riley, after the death of her mother. Initially depicted as a sweet and naive, as the years went on Tina became more scheming, greedy, and manipulative. Her estranged father Ted Clayton came to town to swindle money out of Viki and Tina; when he was ultimately killed, and Tina left town.
In 1984, after a two year hiatus from Llanview, Tina returned after having discovered that Ted Clayton wasn't her biological father. The following year, it was revealed that Tina had been sired by Viki's father, Victor Lord. Tina reveled in her newly discovered heiress status, but was soon manipulated by charismatic schemer Mitch Laurence, who sought her inheritance. When Tina interfered in Mitch's plan to frame Viki for murder, Tina was herself accused of the crime; she was later exonerated, but used Viki's mental illness to gain control of the Lord fortune.
With Viki well and the sisters reconciled, Tina found herself attracted to the good-natured Cord Roberts; when she found out he was secretly brother-in-law Clint Buchanan's son, she raced to marry him. The two often clashed, and had frequent breakups and makeups. After having been married (and divorced) three times, Tina and Cord called it quits for good in the early-mid 1990s. Tina went on to become romantically involved with con men Cain Rogan and David Vickers, both of whom she had short-lived marriages to. In 1996, Tina left Llanview with she and Cord's two children, C.J. and Sarah, and moved to Baltimore, Maryland—where she became a professional shopper for Logan's Department Store.
In 2003, Tina and Cord's daughter Sarah (now calling herself "Flash") returned to Llanview. It was then revealed that during Tina's hiatus from town, she had taken back up with Cain Rogan and proceeded to disappear.
