At the hospital, she joins Dr. Michael Mancini's team and falls in love with his son David and, after contradictions due to prostitution, enters into a relationship with him. But Michael finds out that she is selling her body and thus wants to destroy the relationship between the two.

Riley Richmond

Riley Richmond is a primary school teacher and has been with Jonah since college, with whom she shares an apartment on Melrose Place.

He believes Michael killed Sydney, which is why he's investigating. He learns that he is Noah's father, which leads to another argument between him and his father. He is unemployed, which is why he breaks in and sells the stolen items, but Lauren finds out why he has to promise her not to do so. The two have feelings for each other and begin a relationship, but the two of them break up when he learns that she is prostituting herself. However, you dare to start over.

She discovers that Michael's wife Vanessa killed Sydney and confronts her at Melrose Place, where a fight ensues and they both fall into the swimming pool and Violet drowns Vanessa.
