Barry Gould

Barry was born the second child of Elvis and Chelsey Gould, after Norah and before Kelsey. His father was somewhat absent throughout his early youth but he developed a fairly strong bond with him. From a young age, Barry had an interest in acting and wanted to become famous.
== First Love ==
When he was a young adult, he moved to San Myshuno, the city of his dreams, to live with Miley Walker, who was very troubled at the time due to the murder of her brother. Barry and Miley fell in love and married young. The two were very excited about their future and were thrilled when Miley discovered she was pregnant. She got her life back on track as Barry's acting career excelled. However, tragedy struck when Miley went into early labour, breeding Nadia Gould but dying in childbirth.
== Struggling to Cope ==
Barry was devastated and found it hard to raise Nadia for a long time. He was helped by Miley's parents Jairo and Jami, along with Miley's cousin Drew and his wife Mia who also moved in. Barry felt a strain on his career but eventually learnt to deal with his grief and pushed through life. Barry struggled when Jami and Jairo moved out but decided to step up and be mature. When Mia's sister Kathleen moved in, her and Barry developed a fling. However, Barry felt uneasy to move on so quick and they called it quits. Barry then felt slightly jealous when Kathleen met Jayden Wilburn and married him.
== Meeting Cynthia ==
Years later, Barry had a breakdown as his career plummeted and he struggled to produce an heir for the Gould family. He eventually met a spiritual woman named Cynthia who he decided to marry. The two renounced their vows, much to Nadia's resentment, and decided to move away from the city life. Barry, Cynthia and Nadia moved in with Miley's sister-in-law Kim Walker in Brindleton Bay. After some initial depression, Barry discovered Cynthia was pregnant and things began to look up. His acting career skyrocketed as Barry began to feel happy again. Although something was off with Cynthia, Barry looked past it and had high hopes for the future. Eventually, Cynthia gave birth to Hazel Gould. Barry was thrilled, but was devastated when Cynthia disappeared shortly after, unable to cope with the responsibilities of motherhood and revealing in a letter that she only birthed Hazel to please Barry. Barry was shocked to learn Nadia had been physically abused by her boyfriend Archer Bullock, so Barry attacked him and sent him away.
