Eden and Cruz themselves longing to reunite and a jealous Kirk decided to off his new bride rather than lose her and to that end, he dumped her in an aquariums shark tank! Cruz rescued Eden and they eventually resumed their relationship.
They were even able to weather Cruz’s accidental infidelity with Victoria Lane — he was dazed and feverish following a shipwreck and believed he was making love to Eden — and Eden even survived the murder attempt perpetrated by her vengeful half-sister Elena — who Cruz stood accused of killing.
Magical Adventure
Cruz and Eden finally wed in 1988 and on their honeymoon they traveled back in time via a magic mirror and had to reunite Eden’s estranged parents to ensure that she would be born.
Victim
Eden became a television journalist and lead a crusade to end gang violence. Soon after she was brutally beaten and raped inside the beach house she shared with her husband. The investigation seemed to point to gang member Critter but it was eventually revealed that Eden’s rapist was her gynecologist, Dr. Zack Kelton (Leigh J. McClosky).
Shortly after her assault, Eden learned she was pregnant and feared that Zack was the father. DNA testing proved Cruz was the baby’s father. Eden gave birth to a baby girl – Adriana — but she and Cruz would have to chase after Zack when he kidnapped the infant and spirited her away to Paris.
Double Trouble
Eden and Cruz were happy for a time but an old lover from Eden’s past — Robert Barr — resurfaced in Santa Barbara and tried to win her back. However, Eden couldn’t remember him because she had blocked out that particular period of her life.
Multiples
In 1991, Eden began to exhibit signs of irrational behavior that subsequent investigation revealed was a condition known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. Eden took on a number of different personas including Lisa, a jewel thief, and Suzanne and artist.
But it was her transformation into Channing that proved dangerous.”Channing” took Sophia hostage and, in a reenactment of “his” death Channing shot her! Then “he” fled the Capwell estate in a limousine and disappeared. Despite months of searching, Eden remained a missing person.
But, Santa Barbara fans would like to believe Cruz eventually found her after the show left the airwaves and they lived happily ever after.
