History

Clint Buchanan arrives in Llanview, Pennsylvania in 1979, soon followed by his brother Bo and later their father Asa in 1980. Clint marries central heroine Victoria Lord Riley in 1982, cementing the family's prominence in the series.

Clint adopts Viki's sons Kevin and Joey, and in 1986 discovers he has an adult son, Cord Roberts, with old flame Maria. Clint and Viki have a daughter of their own, Jessica, that same year. In 2001 it is revealed that Viki had been pregnant with twins, one fathered by Clint and the other by Viki's nemesis Mitch Laurence; Jessica turns out to be Mitch's daughter, and Clint and Viki's child — kidnapped at birth — is a young woman named Natalie.

In 1983, Bo and Becky Lee Abbott have a son they name Drew, who ultimately dies in 1998. That same year he fathers a son (later named Matthew) with wife Nora, though Matthew is thought to be another man's biological child until 2000.

Patriarch Asa marries multiple women during his decades in Llanview, and in 1999 Viki's husband Ben Davidson turns out to be Asa's biological son. Ben is shot and slips into a coma in 2001; he eventully dies in 2004. Asa passes away on August 16 2007,[1] and the hinted-at possibility that con-man David Vickers is also Asa's son is confirmed.

Buchanan Enterprises

Buchanan Enterprises, founded by billionaire Asa Buchanan, is a multinational, family-owned corporation with offices worldwide.

After visiting in Llanview in 1979, Texas-born Asa moves the headquarters of his company to Llanview in 1980 to stay close to sons Clint and Bo.

In 1997, Clint's son Cord Roberts leaves Llanview for the London office of Buchanan Enterprises, and in 1998 Clint follows him. Clint returns to Llanview for good in 2005, and his adopted son Kevin later succeeds him in London in late 2006. Clint's daughter Natalie joins the company in 2007 after a failed attempt to become a police forensics investigator. Since Asa's death in 2007, Clint is now the new CEO of Buchanan Enterprises.
