MATTHEW BUCHANAN'S HISTORY

Being born in 1999 as Matthew Rappaport, the truth wasn't unveiled until 2003 that Mathew wasn't the son of Sam and Nora but rather of Nora and Bo Buchanan! In 2001, Dr. Troy MacIver diagnosed and saved Matthew from a rare muscle disorder causing Matthew and the doctor to bond into good buddies. Matthew's mother also developed admiration for Troy. However, soon it would come out that Troy's obsession with Nora would cause him to do all sorts of crazy things, even kidnap Matthew! In the end, Matthew was saved and survived the incident with little trauma.

Throughout his young childhood, Matthew has looked up to his best friend Starr Manning and has found himself in trouble a time or two after following in Starr's overly ambitious footsteps through plots filled with ways to get his parents back together and to running away as a means to gain some quick attention.

Although Matthew seems to spend a lot of his time in school and playing sports, when we do see him it's obvious that he is loved by many and holds a special place in his parents' hearts!

Monday, December 01 2008: Thanksgiving In Llanview!

When Matthew talks amongst everyone, at the Buchanan mansion, about some memories of Asa, Shane asks Rex, "Who's my grandpa?" Rex sarcastically leans toward Roxy and asks the same question! Roxy avoids the question and heads off to make a Thanksgiving concoction!

With everyone gathered in the living room, Nora assures Clint that their catered dinner is on its way then they listen as Bo gives his thanks to Rex, Matthew, Roxy, Cole and Shane. "I want to thank you for helping my friend, Balsom, for finding his way back." Just as Renee begins her thanks, Jared and Natalie appear in the doorway! While Jared apologizes and agrees to leave, with Natalie warning that if Jared goes she goes too, Nora answers the door - and Renee hugs Natalie and tells Jared, "You may not be a Buchanan, but you sure as hell behave like one."

Nora then returns to the living room, with the caterer, who was just in an accident - and is covered with their Thanksgiving diner!

At the Buenos Dias Café, Viki, Gigi, Charlie, Noelle and Moe prepare a Thanksgiving diner, as Marcie and Michael arrive, followed by the Buchanans, the Vegas and their crew, as well as Dorian's family. After Shane introduces his dad, Rex, to Moe and Noelle, Llanview celebrates Thanksgiving as one.

Thursday, October 23 2008: Rex Wakes Up!
