FICTIONAL CHARACTER HISTORY Biography Luis grew up as the second of five children in a poor Irish-Mexican family. Luis was forced to take over as the man of the house after graduating high school because his older brother, Antonio, left town - Antonio had initially looked after all the younger children in the over-a-decade since their father, Martin, had disappeared. This led to him becoming the "man of the house" and the only kind of father figure for younger siblings Theresa and Miguel. In high school, Luis had been known as a superstar for his excellence in sports and academics. He became high school sweethearts with Beth Wallace , but, fearful he would leave her as his father left his mother, broke things off with her. Unknowing to Luis, now a police officer, his life would change forever in 1999 when lonely heiress Sheridan Crane , crashed her car into his. Although they were annoyed by each other at first, this turned to love. But love would not come as easy for Luis & Sheridan, as they spent years overcoming obstacle after obstacle. One of their biggest obstacles was Sheridan's father, Alistair Crane , who has always despised Sheridan and wanted to make her life miserable. He even went as far as to try to kill both her and Luis on their "honeymoon" by blowing up their boat. Although the citizens of Harmony believes that Sheridan was dead, Luis never gave up hope. And he was right not to, for an amnesiac Sheridan, (going by the name Diana) had washed ashore on the island of St. Lisa and was rescued by local guy Brian O' Leary, who actually turned out to be Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald , Luis' long-lost older brother."Brian" & "Diana" fell in love and when they arrived in Harmony, they caused quite a stir. During Sheridan's absence, Luis had grudgingly gotten engaged to his ex-flame, Beth Wallace. But while he was quick to end things with Beth, Sheridan wasn't able to do the same with Antonio. Sheridan chose Antonio, and out of pique, Luis asked Beth to marry him. He and Sheridan were going to elope the night before the wedding, but missed each other at the judge's office. On the day of the wedding, Beth's mother Edna Wallace (who's nurse Precious was secretly in love with Luis) collapsed in the aisle, and while Antonio and Sheridan did get married, Luis and Beth did not. When the two couples happened to check into the same honeymoon hotel, Luis and Sheridan met in the hallway, and cleared up the confusion about the elopement. Unfortunately, Sheridan had neglected to give Antonio his medication that night, and he ended up needing to be hospitalized. When Luis admitted that he would rather see Antonio dead than on an experimental drug (knowing that with Antonio dead, Sheridan would be his), Pilar slapped her son across the face, but soon begged for forgiveness. Luis continued to pine after Sheridan, and when he learned that Sheridan was pregnant, he was thrilled...until he realized that his brother could be the father. Shortly after that, Beth announced to him that she was pregnant as well. Luis and Sheridan decided that they would raise her child and Beth's child together, with no interference from Beth or Antonio. Luis has grown to think of Sheridan's child as belonging to him, even though there is a very real possibility that Antonio is the father. Things took a turn when Sheridan was kidnapped. Antonio and Luis searched frantically for weeks, and finally found her. Luis was determined to find her child as well, but soon accepted that the child was dead, even though Sheridan just couldn't believe it.
Luis turned up alive and well in Otto Krause's home in Hawaii, and once he began to recover in the hospital he asked Sheridan to marry him, not knowing that she was already married to Christopher Boothe , the man who had saved his life. Luis became determined to win her back, even though she made it clear to him that she was going to stay with Chris and raise his son James Boothe , as well as the child she had recently discovered she was pregnant with. He went to Rome, believing he would find Marty, and he did manage to find Beth, but he was frequently distracted by Fancy Crane , whom it seemed Beth was trying to kill. Luis was on death row for crimes that he did not commit, which were the murder of Rae Thomas , and the murder of the Bartender Dylan. Luis was executed by Lethal Injection , which was witnessed by his friends and family. When Edna Wallace heard Luis was dead, she asked Tabitha to save Luis. Tabitha could not do it because nearly all of her power was used up, but Endora saved Luis by turning back time. Luis was then saved from being executed for a second time when Eve came in and told them to stop the execution, that Luis was innocent, that the person who really commited those murders is Vincent Clarkson .
