First Words
(Crystal Hunt's first line) to Beth, in Company:
"What took you so long?"
An upset Lizzie to Beth, on JUne 23, 2006, when Beth tries to tell her how lucky she is to be having a baby:
"Lucky?? Mom, It is Jonathan's!...And if I can't be with Coop, and if I can't raise this baby with him,
then there's no reason for either of us to be alive!"
Lizzie to her mother and grandfather, one week later, after her near-fatal fake suicide stunt: "When I was out there.
Right when I thought that I might die, she kicked...And it changed something in me. It changed EVERYTHING because
right in that moment I got it. I understood that, this is REAL. That there is someone REAL inside of me.
And she's my daughter."
Brief Character History
Lizzie Spaulding's life started out happily. Born into the wealthy Spaulding family to parents who loved each other, Lizzie wanted for nothing and spent the first five years of her life living happily in Arizona with her parents. Unfortunately, Lizzie's father, Philip, was not happy and moved back to Springfield. In late 1996, Lizzie's godfather, Rick Bauer and his wife Abby arranged for Lizzie to visit Phillip shortly before Christmas. Family and friends arranged for Lizzie to have one of the greatest Christmas parties ever and Marina Cooper gave Lizzie a Greek necklace as a present. In late 1997, Lizzie and her mother, Beth, returned to Springfield and the family fold. By now, Lizzie was about seven, and encouraged by her mother, she was certain her parents would get back together and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be since Philip was now involved with Harley Cooper. Though resentful of Philip's girlfriend at first, Lizzie came to love her and accept the relationship while she also befriended her grandfather Alan's girlfriend, Annie Dutton. The one thing she couldn't accept however was Carl Stevens's treatment of her mother. Carl was the man that Beth left Arizona to escape from and Lizzie hated him for hurting Beth. One day in April 1998, Lizzie saw Carl threaten Beth with a gun; there was a struggle and the gun fell. Horrified that her mother would get hurt and angry at Carl, Lizzie picked up the gun and shot him. However, Beth was determined to hide Lizzie's involvement to protect her. While Lizzie continued to have nightmares about what happened, Harley began asking questions about Carl's death. Lizzie told Harley that mommy told her not to tell anyone what she saw the night Carl was killed. Just as she was about to tell all, Beth rushed in and told Harley to leave her daughter alone. Lizzie then had a very disturbing tea party, where her "friend" Carl was a guest. Later, Rick told Phillip about Lizzie's imaginary friend and suggested Phillip seek professional help for his daughter. Meanwhile, Beth feared for Lizzie's ability to deal with all the trauma without her mother and decided that her only option was to flee Springfield with Lizzie. But Rick spotted her at the airport and called Phillip to stop her. Phillip and Harley gently talked to Lizzie and the little girl broke down and said she made Carl dead. Lizzie was sent to camp to get therapy. She came back from therapy a better-adjusted little girl and finally accepted the fact that her parents would not get back together again and it wasn't her job to protect her mother.
In 1999, Lizzie and other kids were kidnapped by Nursery Rhyme Stalker Holly Reade. Luckily escaped convict Annie Dutton found the children and had them returned to their families. Annie would have taken off and save herself, but Lizzie got scared and Annie stayed to comfort her. Despite objections from Phillip, Lizzie befriended Annie (who was her grandfather Alan's old lover) who she called her "secret friend". Feeling neglected because Beth seemed to be focused on her new relationship with Jim Lemay and his daughter Susan, Lizzie put her trust in Annie. When Lizzie overheard Phillip talking about getting rid of Annie and took him literally, she sought out Annie out and warned her that Phillip is trying to kill her! Annie reassured Lizzie that Phillip didn't really mean to kill her, but she guessed that Phillip planned to send her back to prison. Annie stole Alan's money and jewels in preparation for running away. Lizzie begged Annie to take her, too. Annie agreed, and they left together. Annie called Alan, who demands Lizzie's return as Frank Cooper traced the call. Annie revealed that she knew she was being traced - and she's on his cell phone. Lizzie assured Alan she was having a great time, and hangs up. At a hotel near a dude ranch with Annie, Lizzie secretly called her family to assure everyone that she's okay. Alan and India von Halkein used the call to determine Lizzie and Annie's location. Alerted when Lizzie admitted to calling home, Annie decided to leave for the ranch earlier than expected. A knock on the door revealed Sam, a cowboy they met at a fair earlier, who's returning some bedrolls Annie had left behind. He assumed Annie was Lizzie's mom, but Lizzie corrects him. Later, Alan and India arrived, having tracked down Annie, and run into Sam. Alan offered Sam money and tells him he's Lizzie's grandfather. Sam privately called the police, worried that Lizzie is in trouble. Alan told India to take Lizzie home when they find her - he vowed to deal with Annie himself. Annie and Lizzie left their room to find India. India leaded Lizzie away, and Annie turned to escape - but Alan stops her. Sam interrupted and allowed Annie to flee as Alan called after her. Alan blasted Sam for letting Annie get away, and Lizzie was devastated when she learned that Annie was gone. Beth asked why Lizzie left with Annie, and Lizzie told her she thought Beth wouldn't miss her. Beth told her daughter how much she means to her, and how much she brightened Beth's life. She vowed never to make Lizzie feel neglected again and Phillip did the same. In 2000, Lizzie started getting sick. Though her soon to be stepsister, Susan Lemay noticed Lizzie's cough, Lizzie begged Susan not to tell anybody she sick because she had to see her mom get married. While getting ready to leave for her date with Max, Susan panicked when Lizzie told her that Beth and Jim were coming home early from their honeymoon. Desperate, Susan stole Lillian's car. When Lizzie unexpectedly emerged from the back seat, Susan swerved off of the road! Harley and Phillip then found Susan and Lizzie in Lillian's crashed car and, luckily, they're not hurt. When Rick arrived, he examined Lizzie's bloody nose and was concerned to find several bruises on her arms. Rick informed everyone that he needed to take Lizzie to the hospital. After giving Lizzie another blood test, Rick informed Phillip and Beth that Lizzie has leukemia. Lizzie put on a brave face when Beth explains the side effects from the chemotherapy. Later, Lizzie privately prayed to God that she won't lose her hair. Alan distracted Lizzie from her illness by taking her to the Spaulding office to teach her the family business. He assured her that if she could make million dollar business deals, she could easily beat a few bad blood cells. When Lizzie refused to go to chemotherapy, Phillip was unable to convince her, but Jim used reverse psychology to get Lizzie to go. Later, Dr. Noah Chase checked on Lizzie and was alarmed by her condition. Noah noticed a problem with Lizzie that could lead to a cardiac arrest. Phillip authorized Noah to take over and he saved Lizzie from any further complications. Noah revealed that Lizzie's chemotherapy isn't working and questioned Rick and Harley about Beth and Phillip's family tree. Lizzie might need a donor and the ideal candidate would be another child of Beth and Phillip's. Noah revealed that Lizzie had poor test results and he wanted to increase her chemotherapy. Lizzie's family frantically searched for her after Rick and Abigail discover that she was missing from the hospital. Elsewhere, Lizzie befriended Charlie Lockhart and she wanted to find Phillip since he was the only one who has been honest with her. Later, Rick and Harley found Charlie and an ailing Lizzie in the woods. Noah was pleased to report that Lizzie's new chemo treatments were working better, but he still wanted Phillip and Beth to make a list of potential bone marrow donors. Phillip and Beth reacted when Harley suggests they test Beth's unborn child. Meanwhile, Lizzie hid the fact that she was feeling poorly. Noah pulls Beth and Phillip aside in the middle of the party to tell them that Lizzie's chemotherapy wasn't working and she needs a bone marrow transplant. Meanwhile, Phillip learned that Beth's baby is the ideal match for Lizzie and he informed Beth that the best match for Lizzie was her baby and they didn't need Edmund Winslow, who was a match. However, Noah didn't think Lizzie can hold out for much longer and they may have to resort to Edmund. Phillip didn't want to deal with Edmund and another option would be that Beth would have to induce labor immediately. After the baby was born finally, Noah began the transplant immediately, but Lizzie stops breathing. After the transplant, a weakened Lizzie drifted off into a dream where she battles a dragon. Calling on the white knights for help, Lizzie finally killed the dragon and awakened, announcing to everyone that she's won her battle. Later, Alan revealed to Lizzie that Phillip is the father of Beth's baby and when Jim and Beth discussed their plans to leave town. Lizzie overheard their conversation and faked a recurrence of her illness, hoping to change their minds. When Rick examined Lizzie and asked her if she was pretending to be sick, Lizzie confirmed that she was faking to avoid moving. As a result, Jim and Beth stayed in town. Not long after, to Lizzie's dismay, shortly before Christmas, the Christmas tree caught fire and Jim, after saving Lizzie and James, was tragically killed himself in the fire.
In 2001, Phillip visited with Lizzie in San Cristobel and was disturbed by her closeness to Edmund. Phillip told Beth he is taking Lizzie and James back to Springfield and would fight for sole custody. But to his shock, Beth informed him that she would keep Lizzie and James in San Cristobel. Later, Beth married Edmund but was soon kidnapped when she found a kidnapped Cassie. However, she was able to escape and to return to Springfield. In July, Lizzie, was sad that her mom was divorcing Edmund and she accidentally revealed to him Beth's plans to go to Mexico to get the divorce. Although Beth was assumed to be killed in a washout in Mexico while trying to escape from Edmund, months later, she miraculously returned to Lizzie's delight. Later, Beth and Phillip set out on their vacation with Lizzie and James, unaware that Edmund had stashed himself in the trunk of their car. Their car broke down when they were pretty far from any civilization. Phillip realized that they were close to the Moon Lake cabin. Lizzie and James wandered off to play Hansel and Gretel. Later, the adults panicked when they realized that the children were missing. Harley, Rick, Phillip and Beth searched for Lizzie and James. Luckily the children were found safe and sound. In 2002, Beth look-a-like Lorelei Hills was forced to admit to a suspicious Phillip that she wasn't Beth--it was all a con to get Beth's money. But Lizzie refused to believe them. Lizzie turned out to be right when it was discovered that Lorelei and Beth were one and the same! Meanwhile, Marina Cooper enlisted Lizzie's help to prove to her Aunt Harley that Gus Aitoro was a horrible man. Marina snuck away, told Lizzie to leave a message for Harley at the station, and broke into Gus's room and crawled into bed with him. Lizzie then tipped off Frank and Buzz as to Marina's whereabouts and they charged into Gus's apartment. Later, Lizzie denied any involvement but was finally exposed anyway and Phillip and Beth reprimand Lizzie for her lies. Later, Marina apologized for involving Lizzie in the Gus scheme, but all Lizzie was concerned about was whether or not Marina liked Shayne. Meanwhile, Lizzie was thrilled when it appeared that her parents were getting back together. Later that year, Lizzie ran into Tammy and the girls commiserated about their families. While they were shopping, they found Cassie's engagement ring in a jewelry store and devised a plan to get the ring back. Lizzie was determined to get back Cassie's ring for Tammy, but the girls were caught stealing red-handed by the sales clerk. Frank brought in Lizzie and Tammy. Shocked to see her mother there, Lizzie defended her actions by declaring that she got her wild side from Lorelei. Meanwhile, Phillip and Beth broke the news to Lizzie that they were splitting up but Lizzie refused to move out of the mansion with Beth and storms out. At Company, Tammy encouraged Lizzie to patch things up with her mother. So Lizzie headed over to see Beth, unaware that her mother and Bill Lewis were making love. Lizzie walked in on Beth and Bill in an intimate moment and rushed out. Upset, Lizzie explained to Phillip what she witnessed, and Phillip reprimanded Beth on her reprehensible actions. Meanwhile, privately, Alan gets the doctor to admit that Alexandra was blackmailing him. Lizzie overheard their conversation and confronts Alan, who is forced to admit that he faked his heart attack. Alan pleaded with Lizzie to keep his secret as Phillip and Olivia approached Alan's door. Lizzie agreed to keep quiet and in appreciation, Alan offered to buy Lizzie a new car. Later, Phillip told Lizzie his plans to move out of the mansion. But Lizzie was upset and, determined not to move out, she demanded that Alan figure out a way to insure that won't happen, or she will be forced to tell Phillip and Olivia that Alan faked his heart attack. In 2003, Lizzie came to Beth and expressed her desire to go to boarding school and she and Phillip reluctantly agreed.
Months later, Lizzie was sent home from boarding school after a fire had destroyed her room there, a fire the headmaster was concerned that Lizzie set. Though Lizzie's grandmother, Lillian, believed it to be possible, Beth wouldn't acknowledge the possibility. Now back in Springfield, Lizzie started hanging around Marina and Tammy again. Now somewhat of a troublemaker, she "accidentally" got Marina in trouble with her father by spilling to him about Marina's new car that her boyfriend Ben had bought her for her 18th birthday and later concocted a plan to steal back the car after Frank had it impounded. Unfortunately Lizzie, along with Marina and Tammy, were caught in the act and though Frank was willing to let them go after a night in jail, the new district attorney, Jeffrey O'Neill, decided to press charges. Later, when he learned that the car was not officially impounded, Jeffrey dropped charges and let the girls go. About this time, Lizzie was also trying to break up her father's relationship with Olivia Spencer so her family can be happy again. At the same time, she developed a huge crush on Shayne Lewis. Jealous of his relationship with Marina, Lizzie decided to sabotage the relationship by getting Marina's old boyfriend, Ben, back in her life. Convincing Ben that Marina still cared for him, she arranged for him to meet with Marina at the high school prom. Though Marina rejected Ben, Lizzie again convinced him that she was lying and continually pushed him to go after Marina, first at the Bauer barbecue and later at the Bauer cabin where an unbalanced Ben would end up kidnapping Marina. Though Marina was returned uninjured, Ben ended up committing suicide. Lizzie's jealousy didn't stop at Marina however; she was also very disturbed to learn that Olivia Spencer, Phillip's old lover, was pregnant with his baby! Resentful of having to share Phillip with Olivia and the baby on the way, Lizzie made plans to cause Olivia to lose her baby and thus release Phillip's obligation to her. Pointing out to Olivia a tear on the carpet on the Beacon staircase, Lizzie later pulled up the carpet after it had been fixed in an attempt to cause Olivia to fall down the stairs. Though she appeared to change her mind after a last minute talk with Beth, Lizzie was too late and Olivia took a horrible tumble. Though she and the baby turned out to be all right, Olivia was convinced that Lizzie (who'd been behaving maliciously toward her for weeks) purposely caused her fall. Not long after, a concerned Beth and Lillian would whisk Lizzie away to a cabin where Lillian confronted Lizzie with the same accusation. Cornered, Lizzie continually denied that she did anything wrong regarding Ben and Olivia and got exceedingly defensive. Finally, desperate she grabbed a broken shard of glass and threatened to kill herself. Luckily, Harley arrived to diffuse the situation and drove a highly defensive and agitated Lizzie back to Springfield. Back in town, she was essentially placed under house arrest by her family who were determined to break through Lizzie's hostility and she was placed under the care of psychiatrist, Christopher Langham. Though Lizzie, knowing that Alan was funding some of Christopher's research, tried to convince Christopher to just certify her as healthy and just take the money, he informed her that he wasn't for sale and would evaluate her honestly. Continually angry and defensive, Lizzie used every trick she could think of to get rid of Christopher, including kissing him. However, Christopher was always one step ahead and nothing Lizzie said or did fazed him. Though she thought she could threaten him into compliance by telling him that she'd say he had molested him, he saw through her and informed her that all their sessions were recorded--she had nothing on him. Throughout the sessions, Lizzie's anger and resentment toward Olivia was growing and one day in a show of anger, she broke the head off her old baby doll. Things finally came to a head the night of Olivia's baby shower when Lizzie snuck out of the house on the pretense of giving Olivia a gift. When a frightened Olivia refused the gift and asked Lizzie to leave, Lizzie continued to push the gift on Olivia and finally was escorted home by Christopher. That night, Olivia found something in her baby crib--a doll's head! Though Lizzie tried to deny it and pleaded with her family to believe her, she was unable to convince her family of her innocence. Distraught over her family's mistrust, Lizzie confided in Alan that she was only trying to be a good Spaulding by manipulating events to get what she wanted. She also finally admitted to Christopher that she needed help and she wanted to get back to being that happy girl she used to be. In an effort to make amends for the pain she caused, Lizzie apologized to Marina and Shayne for her part in Marina's kidnapping. Later that year, Lizzie tried to go on with a normal teenaged existence by auditioning for a school play, a production of Romeo and Juliet. Wanting the part of Juliet, Lizzie was extremely jealous when Tammy was given the role instead. Late that year, Lizzie was unnerved when Olivia, who had left town after the crib incident, returned claiming to have lost her baby. Still very suspicious of Olivia, Lizzie was certain that she was out to hurt Phillip, who was now in a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown. In 2004, Lizzie was convinced that Olivia was planning to kidnap Phillip. Although she turned out to be wrong, she and the other Spauldings learned something equally unsettling--Olivia married Phillip! Although no one in the family was happy with the hasty marriage, Beth tried to convince a disgusted Lizzie that, like it or not, she'd have to accept Olivia as her stepmother. Reeling from Phillip's new marriage, Lizzie tried to act out by drinking, but was caught by her new friend, Sandy Foster, who harshly instructed her to straighten up. Angry about the Olivia situation and about still being under a doctor's care, Lizzie found the perfect opportunity for some excitement when a kid name Blade invited her to a rave. Desperately wanting to get out from her family's watchful gaze, Lizzie sneaked out and went to the rave on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, things would end up taking a terrifying turn. Knowing how dangerous those raves could be, Nico Costaña (who met Lizzie a few months prior at Christmastime), went to the rave to talk her into leaving and guzzled her untouched drink. Suddenly feeling the high, he pulled Lizzie into a sexy Latin dance. Realizing something was wrong with Nico, Lizzie called her limo, risking getting into trouble with her family, to get Nico to the hospital. At the hospital, Lizzie was startled to learn that Nico had ingested a drug called Delirium, since she realized her own drink must have been spiked with the drug. Although Lizzie tried to tell Lillian, who was on duty at the hospital, that she just happened upon Nico wandering around, it was apparent to Lillian that Lizzie was lying. Fortunately, Nico recovered and thanked Lizzie for talking care of him. Days later, Lizzie was incredulous when Nico's guardian, Danny Santos, suddenly started accusing Lizzie of selling the drug "D". Angry, Lizzie lashed out and gave Danny what he'd wanted all along--Blade's name. Weeks later, Lizzie was startled when while visiting Phillip at the hospital, he claimed that his baby girl was actually alive. Although Beth was convinced Phillip was merely in denial, Lizzie suspected Olivia was hiding something when she suddenly put a stop to their visit. Wanting to know what Olivia was hiding, Lizzie tried to sweet talk Olivia's brother, Sam Spencer, into letting her clear the air with Olivia at his place (convinced that she'd find what Olivia was hiding there) Although she wasn't totally successful with Sam, she was able to talk Tammy into getting her Sam's address. With the address in hand, Lizzie snuck off and discovered something amazing--a baby! Realizing that Olivia had lied all along about losing her baby, Lizzie took drastic measures and kidnapped her sister! After taking take of her sister, Emma, all night, Lizzie took the baby to Ravenwood and presented her to Phillip. Knowing what she did was wrong, Lizzie asked Phillip to forgive her and pointed out that she had taken good care of Emma. At that point, Olivia busted in demanding her daughter and threatening to lock Lizzie away. At the same time the rest of the Spauldings arrived. As Olivia continued to rant about Lizzie, Phillip tried to get her to calm down to no avail. Finally, Phillip saved Lizzie by stating that he'd asked her to bring the baby to him. when Lizzie confirmed the story, Gus ruled it a domestic dispute since Phillip was the baby's father. However, it was clear to Olivia, and even to Beth, that Phillip was covering for Lizzie. Later, Lizzie admitted to Phillip that, despite how she had thought she'd feel, she loved Emma.
In the midst of all of that, Lizzie, along with Tammy, and Tammy's boyfriend, Joey Lupo, were in rehearsals for their high school production of "Romeo & Juliet". Throughout the rehearsals, Lizzie found a friend in Joey, who she believed could do better than Tammy, who didn't seem to appreciate him. Lizzie finally found her chance to nab Joey the night of the big performance when she spotted Tammy kissing her mother's boyfriend, the older Edmund Winslow! Soon after, Lizzie came across Joey who told her of his grand romantic gesture to serenade for Tammy and asked her to watch out for Tammy. Though she did, in fact, see Tammy, Lizzie let her slip out, leaving Joey disappointed. The next day, Lizzie came across Tammy's journal, which she had just thrown out. Seeing it contained passionate entries about Tammy's crush on Edmund, Lizzie arranged for Tammy's mom, Cassie, to find the journal. As Lizzie hoped, the situation created a crisis in the Winslow family when Tammy railed at Cassie for reading her diary. Continuing to act as Tammy's friend, Lizzie encouraged her to milk the crisis for what it was worth but kept Joey away. Although Lizzie tried to keep the couple apart, it was obvious that Joey wanted to be with Tammy. Just when the crisis with Tammy's family was over and she and Joey felt secure, Lizzie dropped the bomb and "innocently" revealed to Joey about Tammy's kissing Edmund. As Lizzie expected, Joey was disgusted and angry, since he'd known Tammy wanted him to be like Edmund, and he broke it off with Tammy. With that, he started spending more and more time with Lizzie, who encouraged him in his goals for the future. Seeing that Lizzie was trying too hard to make him like her, Joey assured her that he did, although it was evident he meant it in a platonic way. In the meantime, Lizzie convinced the teens of Springfield to participate in the Spaulding intern competition (a project that she thought up, which would have the teens compete for a college scholarship and an internship at Spaulding) Seeing this as a way to spend more time with Joey, Lizzie convinced Joey, Tammy, Marina, Shayne (who were a less than enthusiastic crowd) into participating. She then asked Alan to make sure she, not Tammy, was partnered with Joey. Later, when Joey considered dropping out of the Spaulding intern contest (where he was a partner with Lizzie), Lizzie tried to convince him that the prize was too important--he had the opportunity to win a college scholarship and an internship. However, Joey was a lot more pragmatic that the wealthy Lizzie and realized that he needed money now, not just a chance to get money. Although Lizzie promised him a job as the Spaulding pool boy (despite his lack of experience), Joey went for a better job--working at the Jessup farm where Tammy was. Just when it seemed that Tammy and Joey were moving toward reconciliation, an unfortunate mishap (unintentionally set into motion by Lizzie) reminded Joey that he will never be equal to Edmund in Tammy’s eyes, and so Joey asked Lizzie to the summer dance. Meanwhile, Lizzie happened upon Tammy venting to Sandy about Joey and managed to catch her rantings on tape. Later, at the summer dance, Tammy arranged for her and Joey to share a dance. Again, Joey started to soften toward Tammy. Wanting to break the moment, Lizzie went outside, covered herself in dirt and pretended that she had just been attacked. Taken home by Joey, Lizzie failed in her efforts to take Joey’s mind off of Tammy; she succeeded in turning him against her by showing him a tape she recorded of Tammy railing against him. Finally convinced Joey that Tammy was the wrong girl for him, Joey kissed Lizzie. Soon after, Joey was surprised when Lizzie offered to help him in his dream of a music career by giving a record executive a tape of his music. But although he did like Lizzie, it was clear that Joey's heart belonged to Tammy. Meanwhile, Lizzie met two people, Marina's uncle (who wasn't much older than Marina) Coop, a man she instantly disliked. and a dark brooding drug dealer named JB. Seeing a way to snare Joey, Lizzie purchased a drug from JB to loosen Joey up. In return, JB asked to be introduced to Tammy. By summer's end, Joey and Tammy had grown closer, and when Joey ended up winning the Spaulding intern contest, it was Tammy, not Lizzie he wanted to celebrate with. Worried that she was going to lose Joey, a conflicted Lizzie ultimately decided to use the drug and tricked Joey into believing that he had a meeting with Spaulding executives. An unsuspecting Joey went to the meeting and was shocked to find himself alone with Lizzie in the hotel room. Alone in the hotel room, Lizzie declared her love for Joey. When Joey told her that he and Tammy had gotten back together, Lizzie feigned acceptance and offered Joey a celebratory drink, laced with the drug. As expected, Joey passed out. With him unconscious, Lizzie got him into bad and undressed. The next morning, Joey woke up in bed next to Lizzie! Lizzie then lied and told him that they'd made love. Unfortunately, the plan would backfire. Mere days later, Joey overheard Lizzie talking to JB about a drug and put two and two together. His suspicions were confirmed when he looked into JB's bag and saw a vial with a drug. Incensed, Joey confronted Lizzie about what she'd done. Backed into a corner, Lizzie was forced to admit what she'd done, leading a disgusted Joey to announce that he could never love her and walk away. Unfortunately for Joey, Lizzie went straight to Phillip and told him everything. Immediately, Phillip summoned Joey and, to Lizzie's shock, blackmailed Joey into leaving town. That day, Joey left Springfield for Boston University. A few days later, as she was out driving, Lizzie spotted Tammy outside of a bar and, in a pique of anger, sped up to scare her. Suddenly, Sandy pushed Tammy out of the way and was sideswiped himself while Lizzie sped away without ever looking back. The experience left Lizzie deeply troubled, especially when she learned that Sandy was in critical condition with a damaged liver. Feeling enormously guilty, Lizzie confessed her problem to Phillip, who urged her to keep quiet while he took care of everything.
In the midst of this, Phillip was entrenched in his personal mission to destroy the Cooper family. After Phillip demolished Harley's house, Coop (who at this point had had many clashes with Lizzie) bulldozed through the Spaulding gate. Though faced with jail time, Phillip offered another form of punishment--he was to work as Lizzie's driver, despite Lizzie's protests. Over the course of the next few weeks, Lizzie and Coop's relationship became more combative, though there were times she lowered her guard and showed him another side of her. Meanwhile, Lizzie's guilt continued to gnaw at her and she confessed the truth to her Aunt Alex who urged her to confess to the police. Heeding Alex's advice, Lizzie went to the police station to confess. Although Phillip tried to stop her by demanding that she keep quiet, Lizzie openly defied her father and admitted the truth. After being released on bail, Lizzie was ordered by Phillip to meet him at the airport so they could flee town. Although she wanted to stay, Phillip told her that she wouldn't get a fair trial in Springfield and they had no choice but to leave everything behind. When Coop arrived to drive her to the airport, he saw how visibly upset she was and realized that she was running from something, Coop refused to take her anywhere lest he'd be an accomplice. Finally, he figured out that she was the one who hit Sandy Foster. When he lambasted her for running away instead of facing her punishment, Lizzie revealed that she had confessed but her father was forcing her to leave. Seeing how conflicted she was, Coop tried to convince her to do the right thing and stay. Afraid of jail time, Lizzie tried to offer Coop money to be her alibi, but he refused. Nonetheless he was able to convince Lizzie that if she didn't want to leave town, she shouldn't. Buoyed by Coop's encouragement, Lizzie then met with Phillip and shocked him by informing him that she wasn't going with him. That same day, Lizzie was shocked to learn that Phillip had kidnapped all of his other children! Realizing that her father was out of control, Lizzie, against Beth's wishes, decided to meet with Phillip to get him to tell her where the children were. Unfortunately, Phillip saw through her words and believed that she was betraying him. Believing he was protecting her, Phillip had Lizzie kidnapped but she was rescued by Coop and again she refused to go with Phillip. Not long after, Phillip ended up dead from a gunshot wound. Not long after, Lizzie received a shock when she learned that Phillip had bequeathed Company to her. (Buzz had sold it to Phillip just prior to his death) Basking in her new role as restaurant owner, Lizzie re-named the place "Lizzie & Company" and lorded her position over the Coopers whom she retained on the payroll. While clashing with the Coopers at every turn, mostly Coop, Lizzie decided to get a measure of revenge by making Coop fall in love with her and then yanking the rug out from under him. However, despite her trying to "play" Coop, their relatoinship would continue to be antagonistic, though with periods of genuine closeness.
By 2005, however, the pair had grown tired of their little game and they both confessed that they'd been playing the other. By this point, Harley had been arrested and was awaitng trial for murdering Phillip. Convinced she was innocent, Gus investigated to see if someone else had killed Phillip--perhaps a Spaulding. Suspecting Lizzie, Gus grilled her about her father's death. Although Lizzie begged him to drop his investigation and let her father rest in peace, Gus was adamant that someone besides Harley had committed this crime. Later, Alan confused Lizzie by warning her not to speak to Gus because Gus was out to get the family in order to clear Harley. Later, when Coop starting to grill Lizzie, she decided to put some doubts in his head about Gus by scratching her own arms and then claiming that Gus did it. Days later, Lizzie repeated her accusation to Alan and Alex and showed them her bruises but Alan surprises everyone by remaining calm and insisting that Lizzie was overreacting. Later, Lizzie called Coop, determined to make him believe that Gus attacked her again but Coop remained suspicious. Soon after, Lizzie stuck Coop in the middle of the family feud when she demanded that he step up as a witness to Gus’s first attack on her. The night before Harley's trial, as the Coopers tried to rally around Harley, Coop had to contend with Lizzie who was intent on staying in Company. In an effort to get her out, Coop locked her in the potting shed. There a panicked became hysterical and struggled to get out, even trying ot break a window. Finally Coop let her out but wondered why she was so hysterical. Afterwards, Lizzie held an impromptu press conference outside Company to express her confidence in Harley’s guilt. A horrified Coop grabbed her and took her to the spot where Harley’s house once stood to show her that she’s making an ugly situation worse. Later, they found themselves stuck in wet cement and things took a lighter turn...until Lizzie intercepted Coop’s call from the lab and learned that he’d betrayed her. Apparently, weeks earlier, when she found him in her room, he was there trying to get evidence that she'd killed Phillip. Upon learning that Coop had run tests on a shard of glass found in her room, Lizzie had it cancelled. Finally at the trial, Gus called Lizzie on the stand and badgered her, accusing her of Phillip's murder. When Lizzie fainted, Coop came to her aid but when he told her he knew about the shard of glass and it was time to confess to what she’d done, she slapped him across the face. Recalled back to the stand Lizzie made her deep confession--the shard of glass was from when she killed Carl Stevens! Sympathetic and deeply ashamed for what he was accusing her of, Coop tried to apologize but Lizzie felt betrayed by him. As Harley was looking more and more guilty, Coop and Lizzie found themselves in a serious kiss after he kept her from accidentally falling off Company's roof. Days later, to slight Coop, Lizzie showed up at Company with a preppy guy. When Coop witnessed the guy two-timing Lizzie the minute she turned her back, he sent him packing. Lizzie accused Coop of undermining her and her new boyfriend and Coop proved to Lizzie that he was more her type by kissing her. Although the pair were becoming closer, when they had an argument, a hurt Lizzie decided she wanted to expand the restaurant and vindictively threw the Coopers out of the apartments above Company! Although Alexandra tried to reason with her, a stubborn Lizzie would not change her decision. In the meantime, Harley's trial ended and she was found guilty. However, by this time, Lizzie had begun to wonder if Harley was actually guilty. Meanwhile a fed up Coop announced that he was quitting Company, prompting Lizzie to give him a reality check. She brought him to Phillip’s tomb and reminded him that she was also hurting from all that has happened in the past few months. As they shared a close moment, Alan appeared and demanded that Coop get away from Lizzie, unwilling to let another Cooper interfere with their lives. Some time later, Lizzie threw a party at Company but nobody showed up. Feeling sorry for her, Coop secretly recruited some guests. Lizzie felt humiliated when she realized what he did but when they began to argue, they shared a genuine emotional moment and Lizzie asked Coop not to leave Company after all. Later, as Harley was languishing in prison, Lizzie overheard Gus tell Buzz that he imprisoned Alan at the mansion after Alan had held him captive. After dragging Coop along to seemingly rescue her grandfather, Lizzie startled both Coop and Alan when she didn't let Alan out, fearful of what a man who would imprison his own son would be capable of. However, unable to stand a claustrophobic Alan's pleas for help, Coop quickly released him. Lizzie then surprised both Alan and Coop by angrily condemning the actions of the Spaulding family. In the meantime, thanks to Alan, Harley was being transferred to a dangerous prison called Hell Hole. Although Lizzie learned of the transfer, she was forced to keep quiet when Alan threatened Coop. Later, when Coop learned that Lizzie lied for Alan in order to protect him, they shared a sweet moment. However Lizzie's mother, Beth, warned Coop that getting involved with Lizzie could ruin his life since Alan had a vendetta against the Coopers. Although both Coop and Lizzie initially balked at this, they soon realized that they were a bad idea and attempted to part ways. But when Lizzie left him a letter saying goodbye before flying off to Switzerland, Coop stopped her from leaving. As their relationship continued to grow, Alan become more incensed that another Cooper was infiltrating his family. When Lizzie stood up to her grandfather, his response was a threat against Coop. However, the couple wouldn't be deterred and saw each other in secret. Meanwhile, by mid summer all of Springfield was shocked to learn who really killed Phillip--Alan! Shocked and angry, Lizzie left the family mansion and asked to stay at with the Coopers. Not long after, Lizzie almost became part of a kidnapping plot. When Coop learned that Lizzie (who was oblivious at first) was with Alan's henchman, he got worried and rushed to find her. Luckily, by this point, Lizzie learned she was going to be held for ransom and got a call out to Coop who suggested that she stall for time. Taking Coop's advice to "be herself", Lizzie played the spoiled little rich girl routine to the hilt, getting Sebastian so irritated that when Coop arrived all they had to do was stage an argument and Lizzie was let go. Meanwhile, Harley was finally exonerated for Phillip's murder and Lizzie, in an act of gratitude for their friendship, returned Company to Buzz. A few weeks later, Lizzie's family, namely Beth and Alan, decided to strong-arm Lizzie into moving back into the mansion by cutting her off financially. However, Lizzie refused to back down and got a job at Company and moved in as well. Soon after, Lizzie was sickened to learn that Beth married Alan! Although Beth tried to convince Lizzie that she did it to protect the family's interest (since she was convinced Gus would destroy Spaulding Enterprises), Lizzie refused to listen to her mother's excuses. Lizzie then decided to get even by telling the family she was marrying Coop. While the plan worked in angering Beth, Lizzie was almost cornered when Beth went to Company and confronted Coop and Lizzie about their surprise engagement. Seeing she was on the spot with her mother, Coop backed her up by stating that he and Lizzie were indeed engaged. Later, after overhearing a conversation between Buzz and Coop, Lizzie learned that Coop had been accepted to study at Oxford. She is heartbroken at the prospect of losing him, Lizzie made a secret phone call, fully determined to move ahead with the wedding. She then asked Coop to meet her since she’d planned a trip for them to Cancun. Coop was thrilled, unaware that Lizzie planned to bring him to the altar instead. Although Alex uncovered Lizzie’s plot, she ultimately gave Lizzie her blessing when Lizzie made it clear she was doing it all for love. To her chagrin, Coop didn’t show up at the airport on time, leading Lizzie to think he’d backed out. Finally, an injured Coop did arrive. Learning that Coop had a strange accident while he was working on his car (tires fell on him and he knocked over a gas pipe), Lizzie was sure that Beth and Alan were to blame for trying to keep Coop away from her. Later, Coop found out Lizzie was planning a wedding and confronted her. Lizzie apologized but reminded Coop he kept a secret from her too about his offer at Oxford. Coop apologized and they both resolve to trust each other more. Coop then decided to remain in Springfield rather than go to Oxford. Later, Lizzie received word that Alan was at the hospital and confronted him about sending someone after Coop. Realizing she needed to play hard ball, Lizzie had Beth’s plane rerouted so that she’d miss the Spaulding board meeting in which a new CEO was being elected. Without Beth to intervene a surprising new CEO was elected—Harley! Meanwhile, unable to answer to a boss, Lizzie quit her new job at the television station, but Coop stood up for her when Beth tried to stir up trouble between them. Later, a grateful Lizzie promised she’d find a way to solve their cash-flow problem. Soon after, Lizzie met a young woman named Ava Peralta. During their conversation, Ava mentioned her recent problems with a dangerous loan shark. That gave Lizzie an idea and she approached the loan shark, Dean, who gave her money to buy a new dress. . She then kept the details of the new dress a secret from Coop, confident that she’d be able to pay back the loan when the time comes .Although Dean quickly began pressuring Lizzie to pay back the money, she was confident she’d find a way out of it. A new window opened when an old prep school friend, Quinn, entered the picture with a very fat wallet. Lizzie didn’t want to step on Coop’s toes, but when money became an issue for a dance that Lizzie wanted to go to, she became tempted. Soon after, Coop took Lizzie to the charity dance event but had to use something of a backdoor entrance because he couldn’t afford the tickets. Lizzie’s put off at first was touched when he took her out to the terrace to show her the private table he set up for them. Moved, she told Coop she wanted to make love. Unfortunately, Coop ended up turning her down for the night. Hurt (although she tried to cover it), Lizzie walked out but a little later returned only to find Coop bussing tables. Apparently in exchange for being let in to the dance, Coop agreed to wash dishes afterwards. That same night, Lizzie got another call from Dean, her loan shark. Her call was overheard by a wealthy friend from boarding school, Quinn, her wealthy friend, who gallantly gave her a large sum of money to pay off her debt. In the meantime, Lizzie was becoming increasingly jealous of Coop’s new friend, Ava, and made it clear to her that the (perceived) interloper wasn’t welcome around her boyfriend. Afterwards, Lizzie asked Quinn for another loan - feeling a strange compulsion to buy Coop a really expensive gift for Christmas. Quinn gave Lizzie the money, telling her she didn’t need to pay it back as long as she agreed to have dinner with him. Lizzie stressed that this wasn’t a date and Quinn agreed. The two ended up having a wonderful time, sharing a dance – and a kiss. Later, Quinn gave Lizzie even more cash and assured her it meant nothing – just one old friend helping out another, Then after Lizzie confided that she wished she and Coop had some place to be alone for Christmas, Quinn gave her the key to his condo, complete with river views and two Jacuzzis. When Lizzie wondered what Quinn expected in exchange for all of his more-than-friendly generosity, Quinn seemed hurt and walked off without answering - or taking his key back. Soon after, Lizzie took Coop to the condo (telling him it belonged to her family) and attempted to seduce him. Although Coop wasn’t sure if she was ready, she convinced him she was and they made love for the first time. Immediately after, Lizzie got a call from Quinn inviting her to go skiing - sans boyfriend. Lizzie begged off, then asked Quinn if she and Coop could use his condo on a regular basis. Quinn was all too happy to oblige, and promised Lizzie that they’d “work something out” about her repaying him. Days later, when Lizzie and Alex were out shopping, Quinn showed up and invited Lizzie to St. Moritz. Lizzie turned him down - but did accept his offer of a key to his condo again. Alex warned her niece about playing a dangerous game. But Lizzie blew her off and insisted she was doing it all for Coop. Meanwhile, continually jealous of Coop's friendship with Ava, Lizzie told Ava a sob story about how Coop was so busy right now, he really didn’t need yet another person leaning on him. Ava got the message and, when Coop invited her to the Cooper Christmas party the next day, she politely begged off. Things got sticky in 2006, when Coop narrowly missed a naked Quinn who was lounging about the penthouse. A few weeks later, Quinn started having qualms about letting her have his penthouse. To show her appreciation, Lizzie rewarded him with a kiss--which was witnessed by Ava. When confronted, Lizzie tried to convince Ava that it was nothing--that she and Quinn dated a long time ago. She then accused Ava of wanting Coop for herself. Both women were forced to lie when Coop came out to ask what they’re talking about. Things nearly blew up in Lizzie's face when Coop and Ava saw the owner of the store at CO2 and approached her. Luckily, Quinn saved Lizzie by paying the woman to rave about her best employee: Lizzie. Unfortunately, a vindictive Quinn betrayed Lizzie weeks later when he informed Coop that Lizzie didn't own the penthouse--he did! Confronted by an angry Coop, Lizzie confessed to Quinn funding her lifestyle. When Coop asked if Lizzie slept with Quinn, too, she denied it, insisting she only kissed him a couple of times, Lizzie tried to explain that she couldn't handle being poor but Coop was unsympathetic. He railed at her for all her lies and told her they were through.
Knowing that Coop was getting closer and closer to Ava, Lizzie tried to play on Coop's sympathy by telling him she had nowhere to stay. Unfortunately, Coop refused to help her. That same day, Lizzie got a lucky break when Beth, unexpectedly, gave her her money back. As the weeks went by, Lizzie was more and desperate to get Coop away from Ava and back with her. Though she paid an escort, Brian, to woo Ava, that plan backfired when Coop found out who Brian was. Coop confronted Lizzie about hiring an escort to date Ava, and she accused him of jumping into bed with Ava. Lizzie then called Ava names and dared the other girl to punch her so Lizzie could sue her into poverty (of course, Ava wasn't exactly well-off now).Though Ava dumped a pitcher of something gooey over Lizzie’s head, Lizzie wasn’t daunted. At the same time, Jonathan and Tammy had broken up. As the two commiserated, she agreed to help him to get Tammy back, if he helped her get Coop. meanwhile, Lizzie saw her own opportunity when she learned that Joey Lupo was visiting. Lizzie attempted to get Coop to "rescue her" by calling him and telling him that she needed protection because Joey was stalking her. Lizzie faked like she was being attacked, and Coop ran right over. But when she asked him to stay, he refused. However, when she unclothed, he quickly gave in. Unfortunately, later Joey arrived and exposed her lie. Disgusted, Coop walked out. Later, Lizzie was furious to see Coop enjoying a romantic dinner with Ava. on Main Street, Lizzie saw Frank cuffing Jonathan and dragging him away. A curious Lizzie followed and saw that Jonathan was in jail. Later, after having some drinks, Lizzie bailed Jonathan out wanting to raise some hell. Jonathan agreed and the two later ended up seeing Coop and Ava on Main Street. After a confrontation between Jonathan and Coop, Lizzie and Jonathan ended up at Outskirts where they had a one night stand. Afterwards, Lizzie suggested that he help her get Coop back and she'd help him win back Tammy. However, Jonathan refused the offer which became moot when Tammy returned ready to reunite with him. Meanwhile, Lizzie placed a call in order to get some dirt on Ava. Later, Lizzie asked Jonathan to help her get rid of Ava, but again he refused. He did suggest that to get Ava away from Coop, she needed to get rid of Coop, not Ava. Seized with an idea, Lizzie arranged for Coop to be offered the fellowship in England--thinking he'd leave town and Ava would find someone else. Unfortunately, that plan backfired with Coop asking Ava to go with him. Furious, Lizzie called Jonathan and told him to meet with or she'd tell Tammy they had sex. Jonathan met her, and then menacingly warned her not to blackmail him because he'd fight back. In the meantime, Lizzie kept experiencing periods of nausea. Soon after, Lizzie threw a surprise party for Coop - without telling any of the guests she was the one behind it. Coop agreed to go along, and then pointedly kissed Ava. At this point, Lizzie let it slip to Ava that she and Coop made love recently but since Ava and Coop weren't an item then so she didn't care. Lizzie then locked Ava in the elevator but Ava escaped and made a grand reentrance just as Lizzie was making another bid for Coop. The women fought, ending with Lizzie falling in the cake. Beth came to take her daughter home after Ava decided not to press charges. At this time, Beth was pregnant and began talking about her morning sickness; Lizzie suddenly realized what her own symptoms might be. The next day, she took a pregnancy test. Before she could see the results, she was interrupted by Coop who took her to her father’s grave. Coop tried to convince Lizzie that she didn’t need to turn out nuts like Phillip. Or Alan. Or Beth. Lizzie claimed she needed Coop in order to change, but he assured her she could do it on her own. They just weren’t meant to be. At home, Lizzie was shocked to find her pregnancy test was positive! Refusing to believe it, she took a dozen more but they all had the same result. Horrified, she later ran into Lillian who, without realizing her granddaughter was pregnant, told her how rewarding being a mother was. Lizzie then returned to Phillip's grave to tell him she’s going to be a mom. Then it dawned on her that the baby could be Jonathan's. However, after a conversation with Jonathan, in which they agreed to act like that night never happened, Lizzie swallowed her doubts and announced to Coop that she was having his baby. The news put an abrupt end to Coop's trip to England. Meanwhile, Jonathan learned about her pregnancy from Tammy but Lizzie lied that she knew she was pregnant when they made love. She then enlisted the help of a girl named Ashlee, whose uncle ran a clinic, to fake records showing her as having been a patient for over a month, in order to fudge her baby’s true conception date. Ashlee went along and showed Coop Lizzie’s “records", but made it clear to Lizzie that she expected something in return. Lizzie then announced the news to her family. Later, Lizzie got a call from Ashlee, who reminded her that she owed her for fixing the records at the clinic. Meanwhile, Mel showed Lizzie her medical file, which includes the date of conception. To keep Coop from seeing it, Lizzie faked cramps. In the meantime, Lizzie saw Jonathan out with Ashlee and realized he was pumping her for information. Thinking quickly, she had a teacher phone Tammy and tell her Jonathan was out with an underage girl. Later, Lizzie rifled through files at the clinic and attempted to shred the file - just as Jonathan showed up. Confronted, Lizzie informed Jonathan that the baby wasn't his. Meanwhile, though Beth thought Lizzie should marry Coop, Lillian knew Coop didn't love Lizzie and made no secret of her disapproval. When Lillian told Lizzie that she didn't want her to get hurt, Lizzie blurted out that she didn't want to end up miserable and alone like Lillian. Lillian stated there are worse things than being alone, leading Lizzie to respond turning out like her father. Lizzie refused to end up angry like him and her solution was to marry the man she loved, no matter what. Soon after, Lizzie found an engagement ring in Coop's pocket and became convinced he was going to propose. Ecstatic, she threw herself an engagement party where she demanded he propose. However, Coop told her he wasn't ready yet. With the ring still on her finger, when Coop left, Lizzie informed everyone that Coop proposed. That night, Coop learned about the lie and decided to leave. Lizzie then threw a tantrum on the patio, then ordered Jonathan to help her snare Coop or she'd tell Tammy they slept together. Just then, Lizzie was summoned to the hospital--Beth had a miscarriage. That same day, Alan rocked Lizzie with the news that Phillip was alive and in hiding. Lizzie realized that Alan must have been in on it all along and screamed for him to stay away from her baby. Later, though Lizzie visited Beth tried to get an unforgiving Beth to see that Phillip, Alan, and Rick had lied to protect them. Beth’s response was they weren’t china dolls needing men to protect them. She then told Lizzie that all she can count on was herself because the price of counting on a man is too high. Afterwards, Lizzie made up with her grandfather. Not long after, at Cedars for an appointment, Lizzie ran into Rick who'd been suspended from the hospital because of his part in covering up Phillip's death. Rick immediately started apologizing about Phillip and told her he hadn't spoken with him since the truth came out. Rick told Lizzie that her father asked about her every time and was proud of her. At that point, Beth arrived and abruptly dragged Lizzie away from Rick. Lizzie tried to tell Beth how sorry she felt for Rick and asked why Beth couldn't have helped Rick avoid suspension. Although Beth tried to maintain there was nothing she could have done, she finally confessed that she didn't help because she didn't want to. An unforgiving Beth felt that Rick got what he deserved for the lie. Meanwhile, Lizzie started ranting about Jonathan Randall trying to ruin her life and blurted out that he wasn’t the father of her baby—Jonathan was! Although Beth tried to convince Lizzie to tell the truth (since it would come up sooner or later), she agreed to keep the secret for Lizzie’s sake. Unfortunately, Reva overheard the exchange and went straight to Jonathan Afterwards, Lizzie played Coop perfectly, claiming she wanted to move back home, then defending him to Alan and showing him the lovely nursery Coop (actually Ava) decorated for the baby. But when Alan pointed out that a baby needed more than a room above a diner, Coop agreed to move in with Lizzie at the mansion. Later, Ashlee approached Lizzie wanting her help. She wanted Jonathan to love her. Not really interested, Lizzie brushed her off but the girl threatened to tell Coop she forged Lizzie's medical records. Lizzie helped Ashlee by finding out where she could find Jonathan. Later, overhearing Buzz argue with Coop about moving into the mansion, Lizzie walked in and spoke to Buzz about how lucky her child would be to be in the Cooper family. She then revealed her decision to name her baby Jenna, after Coop's mother, if it was a girl. At that, Buzz softened and gave Lizzie and heirloom that belonged to Jenna. Shortly after, Ashlee called Lizzie and warned her that in order to get Jonathan away from Tammy, she night have to do something drastic that could get Lizzie in trouble. Knowing exactly what she meant, Lizzie raced to Tammy's. There, she spun a story that Jon was blackmailing her to help him with testimony in Ashlee's case against him since he knew she went to the clinic to have an abortion. Afterwards, Jonathan and Lizzie argued about her lying to him about the baby. In the meantime, Coop continued to have eyes for Ava. At one point, Lizzie hoped to get his attention by pretending to fall, but it was Jonathan, not Coop, who came to her aide. Later, Lizzie learned that she was indeed having a girl, but again it was Jonathan (set up by Reva) who was with her during the sonogram, not Coop. Immediately after, Coop impulsively asked Lizzie to marry him. He assured Lizzie it wasn't just for the baby--he wanted them to be a family. Although Beth was concerned Ava or Jonathan would ruin things, Lizzie was convinced the wedding would go on as planned. The day of the wedding, Coop couldn't stay away and he and Ava shared a kiss, witnessed by Lizzie. Sure of herself, Lizzie dared Ava to try to stop the wedding. Unfortunately, everything fell apart when Jonathan crashed the wedding and announced that he was the father of Lizzie's baby. Lizzie accidentally confirmed it then tried to claim that Jonathan raped her. However, that lie didn't hold up when Lizzie fainted and Jonathan gently took care of her. Afterwards, Lizzie begged Coop to marry her anyway but he refused. Although Alan and Beth tried to get Lizzie to focus on herself and the baby, Lizzie's mind was on one thing--Coop, who'd reunited with Ava. That's the only thing she cared about. Hoping to get support from Tammy to get rid of Ava, Lizzie sought her forgiveness for having slept with Jonathan. During the exchange, Lizzie started ranting about Ava leading Tammy to call Lizzie pathetic. Tammy tried to tell Lizzie that the only good thing to come out of this whole mess is her baby and she hoped the baby would change Lizzie. Lizzie responded that she didn't want to change, she was fine the way she was. When Lizzie started ranting about Ava again, Tammy told her she felt sorry for the baby she's carrying to have her as a mother. Suddenly, Lizzie doubled over in pain. Tammy took her to the hospital and the doctor informed her she'd had Braxton Hicks contractions but was fine now. However, even then the only thing on Lizzie's mind was getting Coop back. When Lizzie was discharged she went immediately to Company to talk to Coop. Continuing to call the baby Jenna, Lizzie asked Coop to be her godfather. Coop balked at the idea. He told her that though he would have felt bad if someone had happened to her or the baby, it was over. He then told Lizzie to go home. Coop’s comment gave Lizzie and idea and she called Ashlee. On the roof at Cedars, Lizzie gave Ashlee a note to give to Coop that was guaranteed to get him up there to see her. When Ashlee left, Lizzie began setting up her fake suicide attempt. With a safety harness and rope, Lizzie began climbing up to the top of Cedars. Unfortunately, the railing she was climbing on suddenly gave way. Lizzie tried to get herself back down to safety but her feet her tangled in the rope-she was trapped! Hanging on for dear life, Lizzie screamed that she didn't want to die and assured her baby that she had at. At that point, help arrived--Gus. Lizzie became hysterical, screaming that she did not want this to happen and crying that she didn't want her baby to fall--this was not her fault. Then suddenly Lizzie felt a pain and screamed that something was wrong with the baby. Luckily, Gus calmed Lizzie down by telling her to focus on his voice while he talked to her. As Gus tried to free her from the rope, Lizzie lamented how she thought the pregnancy would make her feel important but instead she was all alone. When Gus told her she had to breathe and think about the baby, Lizzie commented she'd probably be the worst mother ever. But Gus didn't believe that. He told her the baby wouldn't let her; it would change her. As he assured her that he believed in her, he got her to safety. Later, Lizzie promised a worried Beth and Alan that she would never do anything like this again. When Alan started to dismiss Frank's order that she see a psychiatrist, Lizzie surprised him and Beth by saying no. She informed them that she would do whatever it took to make sure this baby was strong and healthy. She confessed that on the roof the baby kicked for the first time and at that moment it became real. She realized there was a real person inside her; her daughter. A few days later, Alan upset Lizzie again when Jonathan savagely tore up the contract he’d signed reneging on his parental rights (after Alan told Reva she wouldn’t have anything to do with the baby) In the meantime, Lizzie finally became concerned about Alan’s obsessive concern about her baby. Later, Jonathan came across Lizzie at the hospital and had a close encounter with the baby, feeling it move for the first time. Soon after, Lizzie was touched when Jonathan gave her a bouquet of flowers. Afterwards, Lizzie received a visit from a Dr. Baker, a psychologist Alan had hired. When Baker warned that she didn’t want to end up in Ravenwood, Lizzie became worried that Alan planned on keeping her locked away. Panicked, she called Jonathan to get her out of the mansion. Jonathan arrived and after bonding some with Lizzie, he confronted Alan about acting like a bully. Meanwhile, Lizzie assured Beth and Alan that she would stay away from Jonathan in exchange for her freedom. That was a lie, however, and Lizzie quickly got out with Jonathan’s help. When Jonathan’s car broke down in the woods, Lizzie made a break for it. She ended up on Main Street when Jonathan and Tammy found her. Believing her pregnancy was just messing up everyone’s lives, Lizzie told the pair she planned on giving the baby up for adoption when she was born. Though Jonathan thought that was perhaps for the best, Tammy was adamantly against it and insisted that Jonathan wouldn’t be able to live with that. Tammy then decided that in order to keep Lizzie away from Alan, she could move in with Jonathan and Tammy. Believing Alan and Beth were out of town, Lizzie left them a note telling them that she’d gone. Unfortunately, Alan was still in town and confronted her. When Lizzie pleaded with him to let her leave, he conceded but foreclosed on her penthouse. That meant, for now, Lizzie was forced to move in with Tammy and Jonathan at the Beacon. Later that day, alone at the Beacon, Lizzie answered the door and was suddenly whisked back home! Alan stated that he only had her kidnapped to apologize for the way he’d been acting and he shocked her by giving her the penthouse back. However, before they had a chance to move in, Tammy was injured in a botched robbery—which Jonathon was convinced was set up by Alan. Later, Alan tried to put seeds of doubt in Lizzie’s head by stating that Jonathan and Tammy were only being nice to her for her money. In the meantime, Lizzie saw a message from Billy to Jonathan regarding Reva. She then overheard their conversation and found out that Reva had cancer. To comfort him, Lizzie told Jonathan about her own battle with cancer. While Jonathan went to Minnesota to see his mother, Lizzie informed Tammy that she was going to move back home so she wouldn't be a problem. However, Jonathan surprised her by asking her to move back. Later, Alan again tried to convince Lizzie that Jonathan and Tammy were after her money. When Jonathan told Lizzie that Tammy thought they ought to have a joint checking account, Lizzie announced that Alan was right—they were after her money! She then announced that she was going to Italy with Alan that day. However, unbeknownst to Jonathan and Alan, it was all a ruse and Lizzie got the upper hand and set up Alan by placing a meat cleaver in his briefcase. As she expected, the knife was found by airport security and Alan, after making a fuss, was detained for a while. As Lizzie’s feelings toward Jonathan continued to grow, Jonathan and Lizzie found themselves in an awkward position when he accidentally walked in on her in the shower. While Lizzie was mortified, Jonathan laughed it off and teased her that he could see her naked with his eyes shut if he wanted. As the two shared a laugh, Tammy walked in and suddenly became very cold toward Lizzie. Her jealousy was evident, and Lizzie went out of the room so Tammy and Jonathan could talk. Alone with her thoughts, Lizzie decided that Coop was a thing of the past and finally removed her ring.
At that moment, Lizzie realized that she and Jonathan were far more compatible than Tammy and Jonathan. Later, Lizzie conned Jonathan into going with her to her next sonogram appointment (and standing up Tammy) and then asked the attending nurse to change the name of her baby’s birth father to Jonathan Randall. Soon after, Jonathan and Lizzie paid a visit to Reva. When Reva became angry that Lizzie knew her secret, Jonathan explained that Lizzie found out by accident. Lizzie calmed Reva by telling her she had been where she is, and knew how she felt. They then invited Reva to the sonogram. Though Jonathan bragged about how his DNA was good for making good babies and helping his mom, Lizzie suspected that Reva was not well and convinced to tell Jonathan the truth. Reva was forced to admit that the procedure didn't work--she was still dying. Jonathan suddenly became enraged and blasted himself for not being able to do anything right. Afterwards, Jonathan had an emotional moment and Lizzie held him and comforted him. Meanwhile, Jonathan decided to get back at Alan by roughing up his goons. However, Tammy didn't approve of Jonathan sinking to Alan's level, besides it would make matters worse. Lizzie pretended to agree but when Tammy left the room to place a call, she gave Jonathan the name and address of the man Alan usually hired to rough people up. When Jonathan snuck out, Lizzie covered for him with Tammy stating that he went to get her ice cream. As the girls were talking, Tammy asked Lizzie if she ever missed Coop and Lizzie admitted that just the other day; she saw him and Ava together and did not care. When Tammy asked if a new guy was responsible for the change in Lizzie, Lizzie changed the subject by saying she was just going to get the ice cream herself. A furious Lizzie returned soon after, announcing that: Alan had her credit cards cancelled. When Lizzie complained that she was alone, pregnant, and broke, Tammy assured Lizzie that she was not alone and gave her some pocket money, Lizzie was visibly touched. When Jonathan returned with bruises on his hand, Tammy accused him of going after Alan's henchman but Lizzie quickly covered and tells her that Jonathan put his fist through a wall when he learned that Alan closed Lizzie's credit cards. Later, Lizzie asked Alan and Beth to meet her at the Beacon and demanded her money back. When Alan refused, and implied that she was a danger to herself and the baby, Lizzie became hysterical right in front of Beth, Jonathan and Tammy. Meanwhile, Lizzie was becoming more and more paranoid that Alan was having her tailed. Later, Alan called a family meeting and informed Beth, Alex, Alan-Michael and Lillian that Lizzie had lost touch with reality. During the meeting, Lizzie herself arrived, and played right into Alan's hands by hysterically screeching that Alan wanted to steal her baby and threatened to kill Alan if he tried to take her baby away. The same day, Lizzie discovered a twisted nursery--complete with cameras and locks. Realizing that Alan planned to lock her away until the baby was born, Lizzie snapped some photos of the nursery then tried to hurry off but was stopped by Alan. She then went to Alan-Michael asking for his help. Alan-Michael gave her a gun but made her promise not to use it. When a jittery Lizzie went back home, she told Jonathan and Tammy about the strange nursery that Alan had at the mansion. However, both Tammy and Jonathan were skeptical that Alan would actually lock her away. Although Lizzie claimed to have a picture on her cell phone, it was gone; she accused Alan of deleting it. When Jonathan accused Lizzie of just exaggerating, she got upset and left for a walk. Afraid that someone was following her, Lizzie rushed back home and went to bed. After having a nightmare, she was woken up to see a stranger in her room. Lizzie called out to see who it was but there was no response. Freaked out, Lizzie got the gun out and fired twice. At that point, Jonathan, Tammy, Josh and Cassie (who were in the hallway) came running in and after finding there was no blood, realized the gun was filled with blanks. When the Beacon security guard arrived, Alan apparently suffered a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. At the hospital, Lizzie admitted to Tammy that she knew she was firing at Alan—she wanted to kill him. Later, at the police station, Jonathan tried to stand up for Lizzie, by stating that he gave Lizzie the gun. Unfortunately that backfired when Doris Wolfe announced that that made him an accessory to second degree attempted murder. Lizzie tried to convince Gus and Doris that Alan was coming after her and her baby, and told them about the nursery at the mansion, and asked them all to come see it. When they arrived at the mansion, the "nursery" was a storage room. Afterwards, Alan arranged to have the charges dropped. However, Lizzie’s happiness was fleeting when she was served with papers: Alan was charging her with being an unfit mother. Later, Gus, Tammy and Lizzie walked in on Alan at the courthouse choking Jonathan on the balcony. When Alan got hold of himself and left, Gus revealed to Jonathan that knew that Jonathan goaded Alan into losing control, planning on jumping off the balcony so it would look like an unstable Alan pushed him. After advising Jonathan against pulling a stunt like that again, Gus informed Lizzie that he was on her side. Soon after, Jonathan, and the girls planned on running away, but Reva returned to town and convinced Jonathan to stay and fight Alan. Mel advised Lizzie that if she wanted to keep her baby, she needed to stay away from Jonathan, but Lizzie insisted that she, Jonathan and Tammy were a team. Later, she tried to get Lillian to testify for her, but all Lillian wanted to know is if she was in love with Jonathan. Lizzie was forced to admit she was. Thanks to Tammy’s testimony that Lizzie admitted to deliberately shooting Alan, it looked like Alan would win the case. That is until Jonathan stood up before the court and spoke about how he wanted to raise his daughter with Lizzie. Then he asked Lizzie to marry him. Lizzie agreed and Jonathan offered to wed the next day, to prove his sincerity to the judge. However, despite Lizzie’s growing feelings for Jonathan, it was clear that his heart belonged to Tammy and he offered to ditch the plan. However, both ladies insisted it was the only way and the wedding went on. After warning Jonathan that he would be watching him, Alan reluctantly gave Lizzie away at her wedding.Meanwhile, to prove the marriage was phony, Alan ordered Dr. Baker to follow Jonathan and Lizzie. However, the duo was onto Alan and got a restraining order against Alan and Dr. Baker—neither could come within so many feet of the couple. With their phones probably bugged, Jonathan and Tammy had to spend creative ways to slip past Dr. Baker in order to spend time together. As the weeks went on, Lizzie tried to drive a wedge between Jonathan and Tammy by making Jonathan miss phone calls and paying someone to follow her so Jonathan would want to protect her. Unfortunately, Jonathan was still fixated on Tammy. One day, while attending a birthing class, Jonathan had to remind Lizzie that their marriage was fake and he will be would be with Tammy when the baby was born. Lizzie thought that meant that he would abandon her and the baby, but he insisted that wasn’t the case. Suddenly, Lizzie became upset and experienced pain, but Jonathan was sure she was faking and walked out to be with Tammy. It turned out Jonathan was wrong--when he and Tammy returned, they found Lizzie passed out on the floor. LIzzie was rushed to Cedars and after an anxious night, she and the baby were finally stabilized. When she woke up, an angry Lizzie blasted Jonathan for leaving her and accused him of not loving the baby fully. Stung by Lizzie’s words, Jonathan decided to end things with Tammy so he could fully commit to Lizzie and the baby.As Jonathan and Lizzie were looking at a sonogram of their perfectly healthy baby, Reva slipped away. Miraculously, she came back! Apparently, Jonathan's bone marrow donation did work; it just took a while for Reva's immune system to kick in. Reva was now cancer free. When Reva was released from Cedars, she asked Jonathan and Lizzie to move in with her at the cabin and they agreed. Meanwhile, Alan tried to get back into Lizzie's good graces. Though wary, Lizzie informed him that if he started acting like a grandfather again their relationship could be mended. Later, Alan showed Lizzie a photo of Jonathan kissing Tammy. Lizzie promptly packed a bag for him. Jonathan admitted that though he did kiss Tammy, he returned to Lizzie because he wanted to. He also told Lizzie his decision to get a heart shaped tattoo in honor of their daughter. Lizzie was touched by his conviction. Later, on Thanksgiving, Lizzie's water finally broke. Unfortunately, there was a snowstorm and Jonathan’s car was stuck. When he finally got it out of the snow, he was struck by a skidding car. As Lizzie was going into labor, luckily, Tammy and Remy arrived and Jonathan and Tammy delivered Lizzie’s baby girl. The day of the baby's birth, Alan served Jonathan with a legal document asking for custody again. Jonathan--fed up with fighting with Alan proposed, for the sake of Lizzie and the baby, to move his new family into the Spaulding mansion. Unfortunately for Alan, Jonathan's offer was an empty one. While Alan's guard was down, Jonathan secretly whisked Lizzie and the baby out of town. Alan immediately sued for custody of the baby and hired Jeffrey to track them down. Though Jeffrey located the Randalls, he softened after seeing the child and kept their whereabouts a secret. Meanwhile, Alan's custody case was dismissed when Josh gave a impassioned statement in court that Lizzie and Jonathan were trying to be good parents. Soon after, Jonathan and Lizzie finally returned to town with the baby, whom they named Sarah. They also came armed with a restraining order forbidding Alan to come near his great-granddaughter. That day, Lizzie tearfully complained to Beth that Jonathan still had not fallen in love with her but soon collected herself and admitted that Sarah was the best trick she had to win Jonathan. Unfortunately, her statement was overheard by Tammy who later accused Lizzie of being an awful mother who was using her baby. Tammy went on to tell Lizzie that Jonathan loved her and threatened to tell him what Lizzie told Beth. However, when Lizzie later called Tammy a selfish home wrecker, Tammy relented. Meanwhile, try as she might, Lizzie tried to seduce Jonathan but he continually seemed distracted by thoughts of Tammy. Meanwhile, Alan tried to drive a wedge between Lizzie and Jonathan by continually reminding her that Jonathan was in love with Tammy. Fed up, Lizzie double crossed Alan by having Dr. Baker briefly place him at Ravenwood. Later, she realized Alan was right was she witnessed Jonathan and Tammy making love. In 2007, Jonathan was all set to leave Lizzie. Desperate, Lizzie claimed that she had post-partum depression and took dialogue right out of a movie to make it sound convincing. The plan worked with Jonathan deciding to stay with her until she got better. Then one night, Lizzie drugged Jonathan so Tammy would see them in a compromising position on the couch. However, when a woozy Jonathan suddenly woke up he knew that he had not slept with Lizzie and finally broke things off with her.. At the same time, Tammy had found proof that Lizzie was faking her post partum depression—she found the TV movie called the “The Jamie Walker Story” in which the character parroted Lizzie’s symptoms. When Tammy informed Jonathan, he immediately broke things off with Lizzie. Lizzie tried to warn him that with him gone, anything could happen to her and Sarah but he left anyway. Lizzie then used her “bargaining chip” one last time. She placed Sarah in the back of her car, then went to the church acting as if she couldn’t remember where Sarah was. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when some teens stole the car and a frantic Lizzie was forced to call Jonathan and tell him what happened.. An angry Jonathan found Lizzie at the church and. Father Ray had to keep him back when he lunged at Lizzie. At that point, Frank rushed in with news that they found the car. Jonathan left with Sarah after informing Lizzie that he was filing for custody of the baby. Soon after, Jonathan was granted an annulment and temporary custody of Sarah. At the same time, Jonathan and Tammy got married in a quick ceremony. Afterwards, Lizzie went to Alan and asked him to do whatever it took to make sure Sarah stayed with them and not Jonathan. Believing that Alan was going to buy Jonathan off, Lizzie asked Jonathan to meet her at Old Mill Road. That day, Tammy would be struck there by a car that was barreling toward Jonathan. Realizing that Alan caused the accident, Lizzie kept quiet and sincerely comforted Jonathan. However, Jonathan was beyond consolation and was suspicious of the circumstances of the accident. After lingering in a coma for a few days, a weak Tammy suddenly awakened and asked Jonathan to get Sarah away from Alan and bring her to the hospital. Jonathan and his mother went to the mansion to get Sarah. When Alan refused to let Reva take Sarah to Tammy, Jonathan kidnapped Lizzie until Alan handed Sarah over. Lizzie threatened to sue for custody, and Jonathan, who suspected that she and her grandfather were behind the hit and run, turned dangerous. He called Alan and told him that he would like to beat Lizzie up but Alan still refused to give him Sarah. Furious, Jonathan grabbed Lizzie and while he towered over her, she told him that he was no better than Alan. They’ve both been playing sick games with her and Sarah as their pawns. Beyond furious, Jonathan began choking Lizzie when suddenly Beth entered the room with Sarah. She then handed the baby to Jonathan and asked that he not cut Lizzie out of her life completely. Jonathan agreed and then brought Sarah to Tammy who tragically died soon after. The night of Tammy’s funeral, Jonathan, with Sarah, got into his car and started following Alan’s limo menacingly, the limo driver struggled to lose him but Jonathan stayed on his tail. They drove through the countryside until the limo managed to swerve away from him. At that point, Jonathan went off the road and over a cliff where his car plummeted and exploded on impact with Alan and Reva as witnesses. Initially stoic, Lizzie wound up breaking down in Lillian’s arms.
Not long after, Lizzie found one of Sarah’s bonnets at Outskirts and began to wonder if her daughter was alive, especially when she learned that Jonathan had cancelled his cell phone service. But when she tried to go with Reva with her theory, Cassie threw her out. Meanwhile, Lizzie and Beth were prepared to move out of the mansion but Alan made a heartfelt plea for them to stay. Not long after, Doris announced that Alan was cleared of any wrongdoing in Tammy’s death. The same day, Alan shocked everyone by proposing to Doris right there in front of the entire family. Apparently, Doris got Alan off by getting him to marry her. Though Ashlee was elated at the prospect at joining the family, Lizzie was less than enthusiastic. In the meantime, Ashlee tried to cheer Lizzie up by setting her up on a blind date. Though the date went badly, with Lizzie rambling on about the year she’d had, it did end with her realizing that it wasn’t her fault anyone was dead—it was Alan’s. Meanwhile, Alan’s wedding day to Doris finally arrived—a day that filled everyone with dread, except for Doris and Ashlee. The wedding went on as planned, despite a scene caused by Cassie, only to have Alan collapse from a gunshot wound during the reception. With Alan in critical condition, Doris tried to have Beth and Lizzie kicked out of the mansion but Beth shocked everyone with news that she was pregnant. However, later Beth confirmed what Lizzie already suspected—that she wasn’t. Weeks later, Lizzie came across Doris and Ashlee arguing about Ashlee’s 18th birthday party: Ashlee wanted to invite her friends but Doris wanted country-club types. Disgusted that the pair was arguing about something so trivial while Alan’s life hung in the balance, Lizzie volunteered to send out invitations to wealthy kids she knew but then neglected to do so. Later, when Lizzie told Coop what she had done, he lit in to her and kept Ashlee company himself. Meanwhile, Lizzie came across Beth and Alan-Michael discussing the fact that Josh was in jail for Alan’s shooting. Peeking inside, Lizzie could see a gun in plain view and realized that was the gun used on Alan. Disturbed, Lizzie went for a walk and after running into Reva downtown she confessed what she had seen. Though Reva thought this meant someone in the Spaulding family was the shooter, Lizzie defended her family and suggested that Josh or Cassie could have placed the gun there. The next Alan-Michael figured out that Lizzie squealed and after speaking about family loyalty warned her to keep quiet about the gun. Days later, Lizzie told a still comatose Alan that she regretted telling Reva about the gun. Coop overheard and after praising her for doing the right thing, the pair resolved to be friends. Afterwards, Lizzie apologized to Ashlee about the birthday incident. Later, Lizzie talked Alan-Michael into allowing Alan to be injected with a dangerous drug in the hope that he would emerge from his coma. Thankfully, it worked. After informing Lizzie that he could not remember who shot him, Alan apologized to Lizzie for ultimately causing Sarah’s death and wanted to make it up to her. Afterwards, Coop, on the pretense of writing a story, started talking to Lizzie about Ashlee. Soon the conversation led to Ashlee’s reaction the night Alan was shot. Lizzie responded that she found Ashlee crying which stuck her as odd. Soon after Ashlee’s reaction would make perfect sense when she confessed that she was the one who shot Alan. In the meantime, Beth found out she was now pregnant. Since there was a good possibility that the child was Rick’s (since Beth seduced Rick several times in an effort to get pregnant), Alan asked Lizzie to support him since there could be a custody battle. Lizzie was all too eager to help and became obsessed with the baby Beth was carrying. Meanwhile, Alan was determined that Beth’s baby would be raised as a Spaulding and arranged Lizzie to distract Rick while a paternity test was being done. However, after hearing Rick talk about how he wishes he would’ve been a better father to Leah, Lizzie had a change of heart and told him about the test. As the days went on, Lizzie had a harder and harder time deal with the loss of Sarah. Then one day she ran into Reva and poured her heart out about how much she missed her daughter. Later, Lizzie mysteriously woke up at the Beacon with a room full of liquor and no memory of the past few days. The only thing she remembered was Reva and water. She couldn’t even remember getting the butterfly tattoo she now had on her belly. The consensus seemed to be that Lizzie went on a weekend long bender. However, Alan wasn’t so sure. When Lizzie revealed that the last thing she remembered was talking to Reva on the docks, Alan suspected that Reva drugged and kidnapped Lizzie. Though Alan went to Jeffrey with his suspicions, Jeffrey seemingly believed Reva’s story that she and Lizzie went out partying together in an effort to forget about Sarah and Jonathan. In the meantime, Lizzie continued to have dreams where her hands are tied up. Weeks later, Lizzie tried to talk to Reva about opening a charity foundation in Sarah’s name but Reva coldly brushed her off by noting that they were not friends and hurried off. Suspicious, Lizzie followed Reva and burst in to find her with Colin. Though Lizzie was convinced that Sarah was alive, she was disappointed to learn she was wrong.
