Father and daughter had a typical and good relationship. Sure, she was an angst-ridden teen. She was born to Neil but there was concern that his brother Malcolm was her father. Later, Lily contracted ovarian cancer. All through this, Neil remained her rock.
Homeless teen, Devon, was taken in by and eventually adopted by Neil and Dru Winters. Drucilla was in the foster care system much like Devon and identified with him. The couple legally adopted him in 2006. Though they had a good relationship, there was a time when a woman got between them…
When Neil was with Hilary, she fell for Devon. Devon felt the same and it was very angsty. Fans started crushing on them. When Neil went blind, the two took their attraction to each other to another level. Neil eventually found out – as they always do – and exposed them publicly.
Neil eventually made peace with Hilary. But it happened when she was on her deathbed.
When Victoria was married to Cole, she became pregnant but kept the baby from him when she saw him kissing Ashley.

Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek) guest-starred as Neil’s mother. They were on the outs all these years since Neil was furious that his mother cheated on his father. After the divorce, she never got in touch and finally, when she did, he ignored her letters. It was Hilary who helped him to reunite with her and when they met, Lucinda explained that she abandoned him because she didn’t feel she could be a good mother to him since she was an alcoholic. Neil understood because he was in recovery as well. He forgave Lucinda just before she passed away.
