ABOUT:

Eden came to town originally because of a custody battle involving her brother, Gus, Harley Cooper, and Phillip Spaulding. Phillip had learned that Gus served time for murder as a teenager, so he didn’t want him around his children. Gus maintained that he was innocent of the murder and simply covering for Eden, whom he had vowed to protect after their parents' death.

Eden hated Harley at first and refused to help him. Meanwhile, she was trying to get close to Tony Santos, which his aunt was paying her to do.

At the end of 2002, Eden left town for a few months. When she returned, she was surprised to learn that Gus wasn’t her biological brother. At this time, she also began an escort service, which she claimed was legitimate – Garden of Eden Escorts.

Not long after the business began, some of her employees began being murdered, one by one, at an alarming rate. Eden was even one of the suspects. It was during this time that she became close with Bill Lewis, and they started dating. Ben Reade was eventually revealed as the real serial killer, finally clearing Eden.

While dating Bill, Eden was harassed by a man from her past, mobster Vinnie Salerno. He blackmailed her into being a drug mule.  In a moment of defiance, she flushed the drugs she had picked up down her toilet. This made Vinnie furious, and he put a hit out on her.

Realizing how dangerous things were for her, she teamed up with Harley, Gus, Danny and the district attorney. Together they devised a plan to make it look like she was killed in a warehouse explosion. She then entered the witness protection program, leaving everyone in Springfield to think she was dead.
