[edit] Character biography
The eldest son of Buchanan patriarch Asa Buchanan and his first wife Olympia, Clint moves to Llanview to take over as editor for The Banner. The newspaper's previous editor, Joe Riley, had been diagonsed with a brain tumor. After a failed relationship with Pat Ashley, Clint becomes close to Joe's widow Victoria Lord Riley; they eventually marry. Clint adopts Viki's two sons, Kevin and Joey.
Clint and Viki's marriage is strong but troubled; it is ultimately jeopardized by Viki's multiple personality disorder, which recurs when Viki discovers that her former ward Tina Clayton is actually her sister. Tina makes an enemy in Clint as she conspires to use Viki's illness to take control of their father Victor Lord's fortune, but Clint and Viki triumph and have a child of their own, Jessica, in 1986. That same year, Clint discovers that he is the father of former flame Maria Roberts' adult son Cord, who is now married to Tina. Over the years, Clint and Viki endure much domestic drama, from indiscretions between them, Viki's battles with multiple personality disorder and family squabbles among the Lords, Cramers and Buchanans. Married and divorced twice, the two remain great friends.
In 2001 it is revealed that Viki had in fact been drugged and raped by Mitch Laurence in 1986, and given birth to twins. Mitch is in fact the father of Jessica; Clint had fathered Jessica's twin, Natalie Balsom. Mitch had infant Natalie kidnapped and raised by another couple, and he orchestrates her return in to 2001 to devastate Viki and her family.
Clint leaves town for London in 1998, returning for several brief periods. In 2005 he returns for an extended stay, and soon breaks it off with girlfriend Dallas Jones. Clint's relationship with Viki is complicated by his subsequent romance with Dorian Cramer Lord, Viki's longtime nemesis.
