LUIS AND SHERIDAN:
He's a lower middle-class Lopez-Fitzgerald, she's a rich Crane. Luis' father, Martin, disappeared years before, and Luis' belief that the Cranes are responsible
has been the driving force in his life. He's always hated that his mother, Pilar, works as the Crane housekeeper.

Luis and Sheridan did not meet happily. He arrested her for speeding and running into his police car. They continued to argue for several more months,
especially after Sheridan was forced to work for the youth center that Luis runs. Sheridan also befriended Hank, Luis' best friend. Hank fell for Sheridan pretty
much immediately but Sheridan felt no sparks between them.

Sheridan hid from nearly everyone her secret: as a child, she believed she had killed someone. Later, she believed that she had been responsible for killing
Martin Fitzgerald! She tried to uncover the truth, but failed. She could not bring herself to tell Luis the truth.

Sheridan's evil father, Alistair, disliked the possibility that Luis and Sheridan could become a couple. Together, they could unlock the mysteries of Martin's
disappearance, which could bring down the Crane empire. So, shortly after Luis and Sheridan went out on two dates, Alistair and his son Julian put their plan
into action. At the wharf, Sheridan saw and heard Luis talking about how he was going to use Sheridan for his own purposes. She never suspected that the man
she was seeing was an imposter wearing a Luis mask!

Sheridan confronted Luis but never told him exactly what he had done that was so wrong. She left to return to Paris, where she had spent most of her life. How
was she to know that drug dealers there were planning to kill her? At the beginning of the show, Sheridan had been dating Jean Luc, but dumped him after
discovering that he was cheating on her. She had no idea that he was a drug dealer--and didn't suspect that his bosses had blown him up! The drug dealers
wanted to dispose of Sheridan now, as she had seen them once.

Luis learned that Sheridan was in danger and raced off to save her. He did save her from the awful druglords, but she refused to believe that she was in danger
anymore. Luis kidnapped Sheridan and brought her back to the U.S., where she had Luis arrested. The Cranes arranged for Luis to be released..if Luis
promised to stay away from Sheridan.

But Luis and Sheridan were not through with each other! The FBI needed someone to guard Sheridan, and Luis was made her bodyguard, forced to live with
Sheridan in her cottage. The sparks continued to fly between the couple, even as the arguing continued. They never suspected that Hank, Luis' best friend, was
working with the drugdealers and was told to kill Sheridan!

Hank couldn't bring himself to kill Sheridan, so the druglords brought in a number of assassins to kill Sheridan. At one point, Sheridan shot and killed one of
the assassins. This brought back flashbacks of the dead body, and because of this, Sheridan decided to go under hypnosis. Did she kill Martin? Dr. Eve Russell
learned, through hypnosis, that she had killed Martin. But seeing how much Luis and Sheridan cared about each other, she told Sheridan that she hadn't killed
anyone at all! Luis and Sheridan believed this and got together.

Tragedy struck when Hank shot and apparently killed Sheridan. The shocking twist: Hank was working for the FBI, and Sheridan's death was an FBI plan.
Things backfired when a claustrophobic Sheridan was buried alive. She was eventually dug up, and then she and Luis were reunited.

Luis and Sheridan made love. Afterwards, they again came close to discovering the truth about Martin. Alistair demanded that Julian kill Sheridan, but he could
not kill his own sister. Luis and Sheridan became engaged, never suspecting that Julian was trying to kill her. Instead of resorting to murder, Julian brought
back the imposter. Sheridan saw "Luis" in bed with another woman. But the jig was up for Julian when Sheridan saw two Luises together. She exposed Julian,
then later exposed Alistair's evil when he returned home to sweet talk her into going away with him.

Luis and Sheridan’s wedding day almost became the worst day of their life. Alistair plotted for Sheridan to die; he placed poison on her wedding ring. Luckily for Sheridan, that never came, as Ethan and Theresa’s wedding troubles took center stage. In the aftermath of the double wedding disaster, Luis and Sheridan enjoyed a pre-wedding honeymoon in Bermuda. Alistair and Julian hatched a new plan: Luis and Sheridan would die thanks to a bomb planted on the boat Luis rented.
