Lance and Pilar were lovers from oppsite sides of the tracks. As teens they fell in love and Pilar became pregnant. She gave the baby to her aunt to raise. Then when she returned to Falcon Crest she told Lance that they had a child together. All Lance wanted was his daughter and her mother. In the end, they all got their wishes. |

When Hope returned from the dead, Bo was involved with Billie Reed. It wasn't until a year later that he really believed Hope was the real Hope. By then Hope wanted nothing to do with Bo. She was involved with Franco Kelly, as a friend, but Bo and Franco both thought it was something more. |

Hope's favorite person in the whole world is her "Gran" Alice Horton. Alice is one person that always believes in Hope no matter what. Her name for her grandmother played a key role in the storyline in 1994 and 95. It was said that Hope had always called Alice, "Gran," which Gina began calling her. However, that nickname was only created for that storyline. She'd never used it growing up, but she's used it since her return in 94. |
