ELIZABETH "BETH" RAINES BAUER'S HISTORY
Beth came to Springfield with the deep wounds of abuse at the hands of her stepfather Bradley. When she ended up in the hospital, she met two of the men who would haunt her life - Phillip Spaulding and Rick Bauer. Unfortunately, Beth's stepfather would track her down and eventually raped her. Deeply traumatized, she ran away with Phillip only to be pursued. While Phillip successfully fought him off and they returned to town, Alan then hired Bradley to work at Spaulding in order to scare the Raines women away from his family. Alexandra fought him on this and encouraged Beth to charge her stepfather for rape. Once he was locked up, Beth was set to marry Phillip but left him at the altar when she discovered he was the father of Mindy Lewis' baby. The couple would later reunite amidst the turmoil of the Largo conspiracy in which Beth and Lujack were almost killed. This was not to last however and she was soon abducted and thought murdered by Prof. Blackburn.
Years later, she returned with amnesia and was kept from returning to Phillip by the plans of his new wife Blake. While the old lovers spent time in and out of sanitariums, her identity eventually returned and they came back together and left town. Despite having a daughter, when Phillip's paranoia started to reach disturbing heights, Beth left him again, but had second thoughts when she learned that he had quickly moved on with Harley. She returned to town in a bid to get him back, but, frustrated, she attempted suicide as Harley began investigating her. Discovering Beth's history of abusive relationships, Harley offered to help her charge her former abuser, who her young daughter Lizzie ended up shooting. After concern for their daughter failed to bring Phillip back to her, Beth sought comfort with Harley's ex Jim. Unfortunately, his daughter Susan despised her and tried to destroy the relationship.
On a business trip to San Cristobel with Phillip, the plane crashed and she ended up pregnant with his baby on the side of a mountain after a desperate encounter. Reconciliation was not possible and she sought comfort with his rival Edmund. Quickly caught up in the political chaos of his small country, she escaped but was presumed dead in a flood. Re-appearing in Springfield, she now had a new personality, Lorelei, and Edmund and Phillip both began to fight for her. When the Beth part of her finally regained control, she returned to the Spaulding fold although she realized that the relationship was already over. A string of affairs with younger men and her daughter's frequently disturbing behavior kept the stress high. As things got worse at Spaulding, she married Alan and ended up abducting him and Gus in an attempt to reclaim control. When she learned that she was pregnant with Alan's child, they momentarily went after a future that soon vanished with her miscarriage. Lost and trapped in a cold marriage, she started an affair with ex-lover Rick. When this was publicly revealed, his marriage was destroyed and he rejected her while Alan continued trying to use her as a pawn to control her daughter's life. This has reached a violent pitch in recent times with Lizzie's relationship with Jonathan Randall. When things came to a head in Alan's life, he attempted to reconcile with her, but had to back out and divorce her when he was blackmailed by DA Doris Wolfe.

Monday, November 24 2008: Buying the Cow.
Beth anxiously waits at The Beacon for Coop. She gets into a negligee and eagerly answers the door. To her shock, it isn't Coop, it's Buzz. He leaps when he sees her. She pulls him in and he tries to look away. She admits that she's not waiting for Alan and asks him to stay and talk for a minute. Bursting into tears, she tells him about her doomed relationships. She tells him how things went wrong with Alan; he looked down on her for going to law school and went off to loo-loo land with Gus. At that point, their relationship was over. Since then, she found lust with someone else and that helped her through a hard time while Lizzie and Alan were gone. Buzz recommends that she not let Alan find out about this and leaves.
As Buzz walks out, Coop looms in the hall. He goes in to see Beth. She packs up her things. He asks her to stay. She warns him that Alan is back with a vengeance and back to what she loved him for. Coop asks them if they are really finished; they've hardly even been having an affair. "How do you end something that doesn't exist?" he asks. Before she can leave, he tells her that they shouldn't waste the room. She tells him that what they have does exist but they can end it. He doesn't see why, but if she needs to, then he accepts that. He hands her the key to the room just in case she decides to come back. She walks out.
Friday, November 21 2008: Spartacus was Guilty.
Lizzie plays with Roxie at the mansion. She tells her dog all about her faith in Bill and then yells at her phone so the defense lawyer will call back. Suddenly, he does. Alan steps in and listens while she tells the lawyer to have the investigation suppressed as soon as possible. When she gets off the phone, Alan advises her to get some rest. He suggests that part of her, deep down, may believe that Bill is guilty. Why else would she try so hard to destroy evidence? They argue. She's sure he wants Bill to be guilty and accuses him of attempting to plant doubts in her head. She points out that he brought Frank there to search the mansion and is suddenly sure that he is the one framing Bill. He tells her that she isn't thinking straight. She runs off in a frenzy. Beth walks in. He offers her a drink. She admits that if she were in Lizzie's shoes, she might accuse him of what her daughter has. Alan admits that he doesn't like Bill but wouldn't frame him. All he wants for Lizzie is true happiness. He asks Beth to his bedroom. She admits that she is drawn to him and his lust for protecting the family, but warns him that Lizzie could end up being just as vindictive as he is.
Lizzie storms into the police station looking for Alan. She finds him writing something and accuses him of giving the police more evidence against Bill. When she snatches the paper out of his hands, she sees that he is confessing to her kidnapping. She knows he isn't guilty. He tells her he only cares about her happiness and thought this could protect her. She apologizes for accusing him and leaves to take a call from Bill's lawyer. Beth accuses Alan of going 'Spartacus' on her. "Spartacus was guilty; I'm not," Alan says smugly.
