ABOUT:
Jonathan was born into royalty. His father was Prince Richard Winslow, while his
mother was Reva Shayne. At the time of his birth, though, she was married to
Richard and going by the name of
Catherine.
 Jonathan had a horrible childhood where most everyone he cared about left him.
It began when his mother, who feared for her son's safety, sent him to live with
Marissa & Alfred Randall. Reva thought
that Richard's brother was trying to kill Jonathan, so to make sure he was safe,
she sent him away. This backfired because Alfred beat Jonathan.
While in boarding school, Jonathan made a friend by the name of Sandy Foster.
While hiking with Sandy, Jonathan slipped off of the side of a cliff. Sandy
never reported the accident to the police and
eventually tried to steal Jonathan's identity.
Having not learned the difference between acceptable and
unacceptable behavior,
Jonathan's foray back into his mother's life was a difficult one. To get her
attention and to hurt her, he seduced his
cousin, Tammy Winslow. He then spent the night before Cassie’s wedding in bed
with her, knowing that she was his aunt and ex-stepmother. It is surprising the lengths that Jonathan
was initially willing to go to in order
to hurt his mother.  Despite his best efforts, though, it was obvious that he
cared about her. The two were alike in that neither of them fit in
well with other people, and they both had
a wild, independent streak.
Towards the end of Jonathan’s time in Springfield, he began to know what it truly
meant to love someone. It helped that he found his soul mate, Tammy, to
share his life with. The two had many
ups and downs, but they did find some happiness with one another.
Another source of great love for Jonathan was his daughter, Sarah. Initially he
wasn’t excited about having a child, but in the end, he realized that he could be
the kind of father that he never had. He
embraced fatherhood, and went to great lengths to make sure Sarah was safe.
Tammy was murdered when
Alan Spaulding paid Grady to run Jonathan over and got her, instead. Alan wanted
Jonathan out of the way so he would get his daughter, Sarah (Alan's
grand-daughter). Jonathan faked his and Sarah's deaths and left town, to
escape Alan's plotting. Later, they returned to town a few times, always
escaping Alan. Eventually, when Alan was dying, he made amends with
Jonathan. Jonathan agreed to share custody of Sarah with Lizzie, and they
settled in town.
