Gina visited a sperm bank to become pregnant and she initially told everyone that her child was Mason's. It was later revealed that CC was his father. Gina was married to Lionel, but CC hated that Lionel was anywhere near his son. {pic on left, 3/20/92, pic on right, 8/5/92}

Lionel loved Channing like he was his own son. He was excited about having another chance to raise a child. {photos courtesy Vera}

Paige and Lindsay were cast as a boy for the role of Channing. Often by age 2, children are no longer able to play a child of the opposite sex, due to hairstyle issues. Santa Barbara was canceled before the twins had to deal with this situation. Here they are in August 1992 at age 10 months. {pics courtesy Irvine Strikers}

Justin Earle Gocke

Brandon Capwell

1987-93

In 1988, both Justin and Nancy Lee Grahn won Emmys for their roles on SB. Justin, born 31 Jan 1978 was just 10 years old. {Photos courtesy Le Site Francais}

 

One of Justin's most memorable storylines as Brandon was his coma and the subsequent fantasy. Brandon ended up in a coma in late 1988. That same Christmas, Eden and Cruz were expecting their child. They met up with Santa Claus and were able to have one Christmas wish. Their wish was for Brandon to get better. In the meantime, Brandon was having a dream that he was a shepherd boy who met up with Joseph (Cruz) and Mary (Eden), who was with child. {Photos courtesy Le Site Francais}

During Justin's time as Brandon, the Blake family became an important fixture in SB before it faded again. Brandon was the only relative who really knew what Gina was up to, but he loved her anyway. He's pictured here with Grandma (a name he never used in reference to her) Phyllis {Stella Stevens}, Uncle Mac {Steve Bond} and mom, Gina {Robin Mattson}.
