Character History

Sean was introduced as a son of Gregory and Olivia Richards, who always tried to find his way into life. He started a romance with Tiffany Thorne, and found himself in a triangle with Tiffany and Mark Wolper. He battled for her love, although it turned out she was a gold digger. At the time, Sean was involved in a Del Douglas murder mystery, when he saw a woman leaving his apartment on the night of the murder. It was eventually revealed that the person was Elaine Stevens. Sean and Tiffany became closer, but when Olivia offered money to Tiffany to get out town, she accepted it and left. The next few months, Sean was involved in a storyline in which Olivia and Gregory tried to get rid of Cole, but he soon learned the truth, realizing that his parents were lying to him all the time.

In December 1997, Sean asked his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth to attend a New Year's Eve party on an island and she accepted, but a mysterious killer murdered her on the boat. Sean thought Elizabeth didn't want to come, so he invited another girl, Amy Nielsen. Both Amy and Sean survived the Terror Island storyline, but it took a lot of time for Amy to get through what she experienced. In June 1998, Sean met Emily Davis, Bette Katzenkazrahi's daughter, and they fell in love, but their love was constantly tested by Amy, who always tried to find a way to break them up and get Sean, also using Brad Niklaus. The teens were later involved in the Shockwave storyline and the Rosario jewels.

Amy's plot paid off when she used a potion that she bought from Mrs. Moreau and led Sean to her bed. Sean and Emily broke up after Emily learned the truth, and Sean also left Amy. At the very end, Sean ended with his true love, and Amy decided to find love with Brad.
