Character History
Antonio Lopez Fitzgerald first appeared on the show as Brian O'Leary (Brian being the first name of his paternal grandfather and O'Leary being his paternal grandmother's maiden name). After Sheridan Crane was presumed dead after a boating explosion she washed up on the shore of the island of St. Lisa and was saved by Antonio/Brian. Sheridan had amnesia began to believe her name was Diana (Princess Diana had been a friend of hers) and Brian and Diane began a relationship. He was good friends with Liz, who owned a hotel on St. Lisa, who also happened to be his ex-girlfriend. Eventually it came out that Brian was Antonio the brother of Luis and Diana was Sheridan, Luis's presumed dead girlfriend.
Sometime after returning to Harmony, Brian took back his name of Antonio Lopez Fitzgerald and began to suffer from a mysterious illness which rendered him blind. Eventually they were wed and Antonio's sight returned. Sheridan eventually became pregnant with her son who is believed (but not confirmed) to be his brother Luis's son and not Antonio's. Sheridan's half sister Beth Wallace faked the death of Sheridan's baby (named Marty Lopez-Fitzgerald by Beth) and passed off the boy claiming he was her son with Luis her childhood sweetheart.
Sheridan's evil father Alistair Crane manipulated Antonio into putting Sheridan into a mental hospital after her son's supposed death. Some time later Sheridan went back to Luis. Alistar killed Antonio by blowing up the plane he was on.
