Young and Restless character history

J.T. was an apprentice detective working for private investigator Paul Williams and until recently was dating Colleen Carlton. He is now married to Colleen's former stepmother, Victoria Newman.

In high school, J.T. was friends with Billy Abbott, Raul Guittierez, Mackenzie Browning and Rianna Miner. At the time he was dating Brittany Hodges and had a reputation as a ladies man. When Brittany dumped J.T. for wealthy Jabot heir Billy, he rebounded onto Rianna, who he treated poorly. They broke up shortly after.

J.T. soon began a relationship with new-in-town Colleen Carlton. Colleen was heartbroken when J.T. had a one-night-stand with Brittany's mother, Anita, but they eventually reconciled. When Colleen felt she was getting in the way of J.T.'s budding music career, she left Genoa City and a heartbroken J.T.

J.T. took up with Mackenzie, but when Colleen returned to town and complicated matters, a broken-hearted Mac left town. After a one-night stand with Victoria Newman, J.T. reconciled with Colleen. He recently broke up with Colleen because of her affair with Adrian Korbel. Nevertheless, he still harbors affection toward Colleen and recently had to investigate her disappearance by breaking into Korbel's apartment where he found one of Colleen's earrings. J.T. and Korbel saved Colleen from a fire, which they thought was started by Kevin Fisher, who previously tried to kill Colleen. They refused to believe Kevin when he said the fire was actually started by Jana, his ex-girlfriend, who set him up. Colleen was put on a respirator due to her oxygen level, and J.T. sat with her many times, admitting to her how much he loved her and how he would never stop.

He became engaged to Victoria Newman (Colleen's ex-step-mother) in October 2007. At the time Victoria was expecting a baby that may be either J.T.'s child or the child of her estranged husband (and Colleen's father) Brad Carlton. J.T. assured her that the paternity of Victoria's child would make no difference for him and his plans for their life together. Then, when Victoria was hit by a fallen rock during the clear springs explosion, she was left comatose. The doctors suggested that they do an emergency C-section to save Victoria (leaving the baby's chances slim). Victor wanted to save Victoria and Nikki wanted to save the baby (She promised that was what Victoria would want). J.T. was left frustrated, as he didn't have a say in what happened to his fiance or "his" son. The decision was made after Victoria's condition took a turn for the worse, and she delivered the baby via C-section while still comatose. A paternity test done when blood was removed for medical tests proved that he was the father of Victoria's son. With Victoria still comatose, J.T. decided that their son needed a name. He named the baby "Reed", after Victoria's mother's maiden name, and because a reed is strong and bends with the wind.

Victor hired JT to investigate Nikki's fiance David Chow. When J.T. inadvertently tipped Nikki off due to the way he was questioning her, Victor fired JT. JT had some unease about the strong role Victor played in the lives of the Newman family, but when Victor offered him a job as head of Newman Enterprises security, JT accepted.

In late January 2008, Victoria woke up and joyously reunited with JT and their newborn son. J.T. and Victoria were married a few days later.
