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.

Now in high school, and dealing with peer pressure, Matthew was caught with a joint by his mom and dad then continued down the path of adolescence after stealing pills from Cole's locker! Though Matthew promised Cole he'd never do drugs, he has a tough time trying to fit in, especially being the son of the Police Commissioner - and the District Attorney - and ended up paralyzed after a car accident where Cole was driving under the influence!
