Santos. Though they were complete opposites, Bobby was attracted to her.

when Kelsey found them in an embrace. Kelsey had her own revelation: Bobby

pain, Anita ran away from home and into the arms of Scott Chandler.

Bobby’s broken relationship with Palmer. She also wanted repair
her estrangement with Bobby. Bobby agreed to was better for him to stay
in Pine Valley to deal with his problems.
Bobby searched for a resolution. He did not want to hurt Anita anymore.

gave Sam back to the Greys. Kelsey knew that Bobby would come into his
trust fund if they were to marry. Driven by dollar signs, she agreed to
the marriage.

the start. Palmer convinced Kelsey to give up on Bobby. On New Year’s

home and proposed to her.

money at the Casino. In Bobby’s mind, there was no one more suitable
than Palmer’s old friend, Erica Kane.

the loss of her baby. He helped her establish her new identity as Las
Vegas showgirl Desiree Duboise. Anita and Bobby were already having problems
after Bobby had admitted to being adulterous. His relationship with Erica
left Anita on edge. Anita announced she was leaving Bobby and returning
to Pine Valley.
