ADRIANA CRAMER BALSOM'S HISTORY
Since coming to Llanview in 2003, Adriana Cramer has evolved from a naive young girl who spent most of her youth in a Catholic school in Puerto Rico to a sassy, levelheaded aspiring clothing designer. In her early days in Llanview, Adriana was forced to face the cruel realities of life in the real world where she fell for the wrong guy a time or two.
Living with her Godmother, Carlotta Vega, Adriana was kept on a tight leash. From the first time she laid eyes on River Carpenter, Adriana fell head over heels in love. Although their parents didn't approve of their relationship, Adriana and River continued to meet behind closed doors. When Carlotta walked in on Adriana and River as they were about to make love, it was back to Puerto Rica for her! Not being able to stay away, River flew to Puerto Rico and brought Adriana back to Llanview where she belonged! The two gave in to temptation and made love for the first time. Their love soon faded when Adriana found River not able to resist the more mature Shannon McBain, and the two ended their relationship for good.
Adriana's biggest challenge was learning to deal with being the daughter of Dorian Lord. The suffocating mother that she is, Dorian almost killed Adriana when she hired a man to stalk her in order to break up Adriana's new relationship with Rex Balsom. Dorian's hired hand got greedy and kidnapped Adriana to make a quick buck. However, with the help of Rex, Dorian was able to find her daughter and witness Rex's love for her by saving Adriana from the crazed man. Almost getting Rex killed, along with herself, Adriana refuses to forgive her mother and thrives on doing anything to get revenge!
Regardless of the grueling ups and downs thrown her way, she has turned into a woman with a big heart. Adriana Cramer has proved that although she believes in giving second chances, repeated deception is something to be reckoned with!
However, after Rex's highschool sweetheart, Gigi, came to town with her son, Shane, Adriana's jealously kicked in, which snowballed out of control. Although she found out that Shane was really Rex's son, Adrian fought to keep the truth from him - and even married the man with hopes of doing so! In the end, Adriana's lies caught up with her, leaving Rex to think their marriage never had a prayer. Hoping some time away would heal the wounds, Adriana took off for Paris on a business trip, with no word on when she'll be back.

Wednesday, June 11 2008: Lee's Secret Houseguest Revealed - Marty!
Although Marcie thinks Adriana stopped by to collect her wedding guestbook, Adriana, says, “Actually, I didn’t come for that. I came to say goodbye.” Adriana explains her and Rex’s troubles and how she lied to the man she loves – and ruined their marriage. She then apologizes for treating Marcie badly over the last few months and admits she did it because, “You were Gigi’s friend, and I didn’t want you to be mine anymore.” Marcie forgives Adriana then tries to comfort her, as Adriana rambles about how upset Rex is that Charlie is not his father – and how she wonders if he’ll fall in love with Gigi while she’s gone.
Just when Adriana tells Marcie that she plans to fight for her marriage, Gigi shows up – but stops dead in her tracks after seeing Adriana! While Gigi stands in the doorway, Adriana hugs Marcie goodbye then tells Gigi that she didn’t tell Rex about Shane. “I took care of my own lies,” Adriana says. “You’ll have to take care of yours.” Once Adriana’s gone, Marcie fills Gigi in on Rex and Adriana’s relationship then says, “Rex knows you love him… Maybe he’s free to love you now.” Gigi insists on changing the subject, to which Marcie shares her good news – that she and Michael reconnected!
At the airport, Adriana looks at a picture of her and Rex and promises, “I’m going to win you back.”
Tuesday, June 10 2008: Arrested: Jared Banks!
Over at Rex’s loft, Adriana tries to remind Rex of all the reasons why he fell in love with her, but admits she needs time – and Rex needs space. She informs Rex that she’s going to Paris for a few months then says, “Separated… not divorced… What do you say?” Through all of the lies, each knows they are still in love with each other, and Rex takes Adriana in his arms. After they embrace, Rex says, “I can’t make you any promises.” Though Adriana realizes her mistake, and Rex gets a glimpse of the old Adriana, he tells her it’s too late to go back to the way things used to be, leaving Adrian feeling a heavy loss. Adriana takes one last look at their shattered wedding picture, accepts the removed picture from the Rex, kisses him goodbye then says, “Don’t forget about me, Rex.” Adriana leaves, as Rex watches in tears.
Before she leaves town, Adriana pays Marcie a visit.
