SUMMARY

After Claire Fisher gave birth to her and Tim’s first child, her mobster father, James Robbins, kidnapped the baby from the hospital. Claire and Tim tracked them to South America; while James perished in the struggle, they ultimately rescued their son, whom they named Travis, and returned home. As a teenager, he blamed his mother, Claire, for all the upheaval in his and his family’s lives. Travis developed a connection with Danielle Taylor’s visiting goddaughter, Elly Vanderbilt. He became closer to his parents and began a relationship with Elly, who moved to town to attend King’s Bay University.

Travis’s world was knocked off its axis when he learned that he had been switched as an infant with Spencer Ragan; James had given his real grandson to his wife, Loretta, to raise, and had sent Tim and Claire home with a baby he’d bought from a woman named Kathleen Bundy. Travis’s relationship with the Fishers became strained, and he began to view Spencer as a threat. Desperate to hold onto Elly, he threw her study-abroad application in the trash instead of mailing it. When Elly found out (thanks to Spencer), she broke up with Travis. In spring 2014, they graduated from KBU, and though Travis tried to win her back, Elly left town to attend Stanford Law School.

Philip Ragan’s spree as the Footprint Killer came to an end when he murdered Travis’s beloved grandfather, Bill. In the wake of Bill’s death, Travis decided to explore his passion for cooking, which he’d gotten from his grandpa, and approached Matt Gray about working at Bill’s restaurant. When the property was sold, Travis was instrumental in helping his grandmother, Paula, and Matt locate a new venue. They opened Bill’s on the Pier on the King’s Bay waterfront.

Despite a contentious beginning, Travis developed an interest in police officer Rosie Jimenez, who had been a big part of investigating the Footprint Killer slayings. He was confused by her resistance to committing to a relationship, and he realized she was hiding a secret that had to do with her father’s death. When he asked about it, she was evasive — until an armed gunman came after her and Travis while they were at Paula’s house. All three escaped unharmed, but at a hearing concerning Paula’s violation of her house arrest term, Rosie tearfully told the whole story: she’d dated a drug dealer named Diego Barrera, who asked her to hold product for him, and when people connected to him came to the Jimenez household to take the drugs, Rosie’s father was killed in the fray. She blamed herself for his death and vowed to atone for her mistakes by serving the public as a police officer. Travis was upset at her for having been dishonest but also felt great empathy for her. After Rosie successfully helped the D.A. bring down Diego Barrera, who shot himself during a final confrontation, Travis convinced her to open herself up to romance again, and they resumed their relationship.

In 2020, Rosie found a newborn baby girl abandoned outside the police station and offered to foster the child. She and Travis grew attached to the little girl, whom they named Gabrielle, and planned to adopt her. In the summer of 2021, Rosie and Travis married. What they didn’t know was that Gabrielle was actually the child of Travis’s aunt, Molly, and Brent Taylor — Loretta Ragan had paid off a doctor to tell them their child died at birth. When that doctor took his own life and left behind a letter revealing the truth, Molly and Brent demanded a DNA test. Rosie resisted, not wanting to accept the truth, and when Loretta’s plans to switch the DNA test failed, she instead had Rosie and Gabrielle kidnapped. They were held in the basement of the old Moriani home by disgraced lawyer Eric Westin, who was so desperate for cash that he’d aligned with Loretta. Molly was convinced that Rosie had gone on the run with Gabrielle, but Rosie was able to send Travis a sign, and a crowd raced to the Moriani house in hopes of rescuing her and the baby. But when Westin fired a gun at Brent and hit a gas line, the house exploded. Rosie and Gabrielle were saved, but a custody battle now hung over them all.

The legal dispute caused deep rifts in the Fisher family, and Travis experienced doubts about his and Rosie’s chances of emerging victorious. Nevertheless, he stood by his wife and fought. When their lawyer cast Molly in a duplicitous light, however, Molly and Brent’s team retaliated by dredging up Rosie’s past and the circumstances of her father’s death. The dramatic scene resulted in Paula Fisher experiencing a heart attack. Although she survived, the family was shaken, and both Rosie and Travis felt the tides of the case turning. Desperate, Rosie took Gabrielle and fled for the Canadian border. Travis caught up with her, and soon, Brent and Molly did, too. An anguished Travis convinced his wife to accept the inevitable, and they tearfully handed Gabrielle over to Molly and Brent and began the process of putting their lives back together without the little girl they loved.
