Past History
The Russell family has lived in Harmony for decades. The high school athletic coach blames the Crane family for everything bad in his life. It all dates back to when he was in high school and was excelling in tennis. He had a tragic automobile accident that caused serious injuries to him and as a result ended his hopes of having a tennis career. For many years TC lived vicariously through his daughter Whitney and her tennis activities. TC was the driving force behind her practice, her dedication and her success. When Whitney informed TC that she no longer wanted to pursue a career in tennis, TC was crushed - yet again.
TC takes pride in his family and always demanded that everything be in control. He focused all of his strength and energy on ensuring that they were the picture perfect family. TC was dealt yet another blow when he found out that his wife (Eve) used to be a lounge singer and Julian Crane�s mistress. He couldn't get past this hurt and ended their marriage. He then turned to Liz (Eve's sister) for comfort. TC eventually came to regret his actions, but was injured in a car wreck while driving under the influence. He suffered a massive stroke during his recovery and has begun to grow closer to his ex-wife.
