Character History
James Sutherland was the biological father of Christian and Gina's baby Wilbur. Wilbur was first thought to be the biological child of Christian. But once he was born, it was obvious he was not. Christian later tries to sue for full custody of Wilbur. At this point Gina tracks down James, to help her keep Wilbur. James, who lived out in Arizona, had to fly into Miami to help Gina. He claimed he could not explain to his wife that he had a one night stand with a woman whom he had gotten pregnant. At this point he discovered a diary of Gina's sexual past. He claimed that her diary had 292 partners in three years. He then decided to help Christian get full custody, rather than Gina. But while in Miami with Wilbur he begins a change of heart. At one point he decides that he wants custody of Wilbur, despite Christian and Gina's request. His wife later flies into Miami to help him sue for custody of the baby. In the end he recieves not only full custody, but closed custody of Wilbur, allowing Gina nor Christian to see Wilbur until he is a legal adult. James then renames Wilbur to Gabriel.
Many months later Gina discovers she is HIV positive. This allows Christian to contact James and Gabriel to tell them to both get tested. James flies back into Miami to have Christian test the both of them for the virus. After they are tested, both came out negative. James then returned to Arizona with Gabriel.
