Grant Capwell

Grant Capwell was a fictional character on Santa Barbara.

He was portrayed by John Considine from June 11 to June 30, 1986.

Character Bio
Grant Capwell was C.C. Capwell's brother who lived in Boston and had two daughters, Madeline and Courtney. When C.C. was engaged to his first wife Pamela, he thought that Grant was also seeing her on the side. Grant denied it, but C.C. didn't believe him and told their father that Grant had been stealing from Capwell Enterprises. A million dollars was missing from the company, but Grant was actually innocent. Unable to prove that C.C. stole the money himself to frame him, Grant was disowned by his father and thrown out of the Capwell family. Grant managed to make a fortune anyway, but he still felt that C.C. had cheated him out of his birthright. Grant wanted to get his rightful half back.

Grant made his first appearance in 1986, having teamed up with Lionel Lockridge, who knew who had really stolen the money from Capwell Enterprises. The thief turned out to be none other than Lionel's late father. Grant needed Mason's help to prove that C.C. had set him up for the theft, but when Mason didn't come through for him, Grant didn't get revenge on his brother after all and went back to Boston. He never appeared again.

In 1991, it was mentioned that Grant had died recently of cerebral hemorrhage.

 * John Considine liked working on Santa Barbara as Grant and would have loved to return, but for some reason the show never brought the character back.
