    History of Kelly Cramer:

    Kelly came to Llanview in 1995 to live with her aunt Dorian while her mother, Melinda remained in a mental institution. Kelly was infatuated with Dorian’s husband, David Vickers; but he left town after she divorced him. Kelly had affairs with Max Holden (Blair’s ex), who Kelly left at the altar; and Ian Armitage, who was killed in a plane crash. She married Joey Buchanan but was in love with his brother, Kevin. Crying over Joey, Kelly accidently runs Blair off the road – ending her pregnancy.

    Kelly married Kevin and had a miscarriage but didn’t tell him; she left after finding out he was with Blair. Paul kidnapped Babe Chandler’s newborn but told Kelly he was an unwanted child. She passed “Ace” off as Kevin’s baby until he found out the truth from Todd, (Blair’s ex) and divorced her. Kelly had an affair with Kevin’s son, Duke, but it ended after he died from a horrifying explosion in which Kelly survived; having been rescued by Kevin! Pregnant with baby Zane, they decide to raise Duke’s child together in London.

    In 2010, Kelly and David teamed up to find Adriana when the Cramer girls’ lives were threatened by cult leader, Mitch Lawrence. While in Llanview, Kelly received news of her mother, Melinda’s sudden death but was later told she was murdered and headed for the institution for answers. Kelly tearfully turned down Kevin’s marriage proposal after Melinda’s funeral. She infuriated Blair when she accepted Todd’s offer to work at The Sun as Editor. Todd joined Kelly and visited Mitch for clues about Melinda’s death but later, Todd hired detectives. Kelly dated Reed Wagner, from London, but fter breaking up with him, Reed smashes her mother’s vase leaving behind a clue to her killer, Bennett Thompson. Kelly hires Rex Balsom when she suspects attorney Elijah Clarke is the murderer and alerts Blair and Detective McBain of her suspicions. After Elijah perishes in a fire, Kelly pays Rex handsomely and later doubles her offer for the whereabouts of David Vickers after leaving Dorian at the altar. After a warning from Clint about David, Rex reports back that David ‘wants to be left alone’.

    En route from London in an attempt to reunite with Joey, Kelly befriended Aubrey Wentworth (unaware she was his girlfriend). After confessing her love, she irrevocably pushes Joey to marry Aubrey after implying she was a fraud. Kelly slept with McBain and blamed Joey!
