Kelly Rowan :: Character Guides

Kirsten Nichol Cohen was born into a wealthy family, daughter of one of the richest men in Newport. Kirsten fell in love with Sandy Cohen, a tough kid from the Bronx, and despite her father's wishes, married him. Together, they tried to make a life, living out of a mail truck, but soon enough, Kirsten and Sandy moved back to Newport where Kirsten began working for her father at the Newport Group.

Kirsten has been a great mother to Seth and after seeing how little motherly influence Ryan was receiving, Kirsten welcomed him into her home and has been a mother to him ever since.

Kirsten was crushed by the death of her father, Caleb, and began to rely more and more on alcohol to get her through her day. Scarred for her, the boys - Sandy, Ryan and Seth - set up an intervention, and Kirsten went to rehab, determined to break her addiction.

Now, with the Newport Group in Sandy's capible hands, Kirsten and Julie Cooper have started their own dating service, matchmaking for Newport's finest.
