Shane Landgraab

Shane was born into the wealthy family of his elderly father, Remington, his Goth-descended mother, Nylah, and his older sister Serena. When he was very young, Remington passed away and Nylah relocated to her old home in Del Sol Valley with her brother, Devan. Serena, who had mistreated Shane throughout his childhood, married Jared Ginter and moved to Brindleton Bay. Through his childhood, Shane was always wacky and wanted to be an astronaut, which he eventually succeeded in becoming. In his teens, Shane had a brief affair with Lilly Behr and was devastated to learn she was pregnant. She agreed to remarry and raise Toby as her and Eli Munch's son. Shane kept this a secret for many years, even to Jaime Ginter, Jared's sister, who he fell in love with and married. Together, they had Harry Landgraab. The truth was revealed about Toby and Nylah was desperate to get him back, but soon learnt of Shane's reluctance to call him his son. Jamie threatened to divorce Shane but the couple eventually reconciled. Jamie started showing signs of being erratic and obsessive, and had feuds with Nylah, who later made amends with her. When Devan died while looking after Harry, the family were devastated and social services were called. Jamie managed to fend them off while Shane fell apart due to his prior reliance on Devan. Shane later had an affair with Melinda Tinsley and got her pregnant, leaving Jamie livid. The couple separated and Nylah urged Shane to give Jamie some space. He decided to move in with his cousin, Zachary Goth-Ward. Shane returned to say goodbye to Nylah before she sadly died of old age. He had a brief reunion with Jamie, but she was seeing Landan Brooks and was looking after the three kids of her incarcerated best friend who had just killed her cousin. Shane went travelling and met Toby. Lilly and her new husband, Eli allowed the two to talk but Toby was unenthusiastic about meeting Shane and disowned him. Years later, when Melinda Tinsley spiralled out of control at the death of her parents, Shane took Marie to return to Del Sol Valley. Shane learnt that Jamie had given birth to Landan's son but the two separated. He had feuds with Jamie about this, who criticised him for his hypocrisy. Marie was reluctant to bond with Shane, but over time, the two built up a fairly strong relationship. Shane was thrilled when Harry developed a relationship Eve Myrick, but worried that she would turn into her murderous mother. When Marie accidentally started a house fire, Shane managed to save her, but tragically perished in the fire in front of Jamie, who extinguished it just too late. Shane's urn was taken by Jamie, and his legacy lived on through his kids.
