ASA BUCHANAN'S HISTORY
Arriving in Llanview in 1980, Asa Buchanan built his family business, Buchanan Enterprises, from the ground up. To his loved ones and close friends, he's a kind-hearted, good ole Texas cowboy who prides himself for his loyalty. Asa has frequently frustrated his family by meddling in their business and taking the law into his own hands.
With a long list of brides to his name, at one time or another, Asa has wronged each and every one of them! He held his first wife, Olympia, captive to ensure she wouldn't interrupt his second marriage to Samantha, faked his death thinking that his wife Delilah was having an affair with his son Bo and was even known to keep two brides at the same time! However, Asa met his match when he married Blair Cramer who left him for dead after showing signs of a heart attack and humiliated him by having an affair with Asa's archenemy Max Holden!
Along with all of his power and riches, Asa has been known to make many enemies over the years and has put himself above the law in order to stay on top! Asa has been involved in everything from putting a hit out on Carlo Hesser's life, to having Ben Davidson's medical license wrongfully revoked, to making his own family believe he'd gone crazy, died - anything - in order to get his way!
Asa's biggest challenge yet was having to face the possible truth that Spencer Truman was his long lost son after Spencer came to Llanview specifically to make Asa pay for ruining his mother's life and leaving her to raise Spencer alone. After the stress of Spencer's revenge against Asa caused him to have another heart attack, the Buchanan's demanded a DNA test, which proved that Spencer wasn't Asa's son after all, allowing Asa to breathe easy once again.
Sadly, Asa's heath kept deteriorating and the great man passed away in November 2007, but left a will full of possibilities for his family - the main goal being to have them work together to bring Buchanan Enterprises to its fullest capacity.
During the 1968 storyline in July 2008, Asa made some ghostly appearances and promised some future ones as well.
Despite all his crimes and wrongdoings, Asa successfully reigned over the Buchanan's in their entirety. However, enemies beware, Asa Buchanan was a force to be reckoned with whose vengeful streak was feared by many - even in death!

Tuesday, August 19 2008: An Admission Of Love In 1968!
Bo is in the Buchanan ranch living room in 2008 when Asa appears to him. As Bo talks about his drunken ride, and how he set out to prove himself to Asa's memory, Bo admits how it felt to 'be' Asa and chastises him for how he treated those in his life. Although Asa claimed that everything he did was for his boys, Bo says, "Because you make a baby with someone… that doesn't make you a father." Bo admits that although he lost a lot during his time in Texas, he finally found a way to let go, "Of you." After Asa admits that he never wanted to make Bo feel bad about himself, Bo tells Asa that he can rest now knowing that he doesn't need to live up to anyone's standards anymore. After Bo and Asa admit how much they miss each other, Asa confesses, "You and your brother are the best things I ever did." Asa takes a sip of his drink then is gone. Although Bo stares with sadness at the empty chair where Asa once sat, he's comforted to see a glass resting on the end table!
