ABOUT:

Josh Lewis is a character who has seen great joy and tragedy in his life. Josh has gone through the loss of his soul mate, Reva, after she rediscovered the life she had lived when she was gone for 5 years. He lost Lewis Oil which was started by his father, H.B. Lewis. He married his Executive Secretary, Olivia Spencer on the rebound. After a bumpy year of marriage with her cheating on him with his worst enemy, Alan Spalding, and getting Lewis Construction involved with the mob, Josh divorced her. Reva went on a time travel in order to help Josh, and Josh joined her in WWII Paris to rescue her. While they were there they discovered they still loved each other. They have become owners of Lewis Oil again and were married for the third time.

Josh is a character that is very loving and forgiving. For example his current wife, Reva has been married to his brother Billy as well as his father. Ironically though, Josh is hard on himself. He forgave Reva quickly for pulling the plug on the life support for her ex husband, Richard. Yet, when Josh got into a car accident with his son he had an extremely hard time. He even ended up moving out of the house until he figured some things out.

In recent years we've realized that Josh is more capable that we originally thought when it comes to being secretive. He even hid what he thought was a murder for 20 years along with some childhood friends.

Josh has also spent a significant amount of time in the last year helping to create a hospital for veterans returning from Iraq. It was a dream of his fathers that he wanted to fulfill, and despite giving up a lot for this dream to come true he hasn’t complained about it one bit.
