Virginia Baxter (Durant)

Virginia Durant is the sister of Lisa Durant

Since moving to Evergreen Harbor (and later Windenburg) with her son Cory, she's featured in a multitude of storylines including alcohol addiction, abortion, divorce, STD scares, and kidnapping. Whilst Lisa is cleaning the house, someone enters and kidnaps her. The next day someone who looks like Lisa is in the house. Jeremiah returns from visiting his mother to a phone call saying that his and Lisa’s wedding certificate was burnt in a fire and thus declares that their marriage is null and void. ‘Lisa’ takes advantage of this and asks him for a big wedding for them. Jeremiah says there’s no rush but then comes around and proposes again. Jeremiah asks for a long engagement and ‘Lisa’ agrees.

A month later, ‘Lisa’ finds out she’s pregnant and asks Jeremiah to rush the wedding which he agrees.

‘Lisa’ goes into labour at the wedding and manages to sign the new marriage papers before collapsing in pain. Jeremiah wonders how he can have more kids and while at the hospital, the doctor explains to him that the healthy lifestyle he’s been keeping since leaving rehab has allowed his sperm to produce again, albeit in small samples, and calls ‘Lisa’s pregnancy a miracle

Jeremiah and ‘Lisa’s child is named King Baxter, but the real Lisa comes back to the house and exposes the fraud as her sister, Virginia Durant. Jeremiah is devastated. Lisa explains that she was kidnapped and tied up to a radiator for over a year and she was furious that Jeremiah served her divorce papers, but he claims he never sent them. Virginia owns up to her plan, and says it started 3 years ago after she woke up from a come and she watched Lisa’s every move. Virginia tells Jeremiah that her twin Lisa bought them pills on their 20th birthday, and Virginia fell into a lake and hit her head. She was pronounced brain dead, but her parents always hoped Virginia would come back to life one day and kept her breathing on a ventilator. Lisa was told her sister had died and was exiled from her family from that day which led to her leaving Brooklyn.

16 years later, Virginia woke up after a doctor trialled a damage reversing treatment that took 2 years to wake her up, remembering everything and intent on revenge. From then she studied her sister’s family and plotted her revenge by taking her sister’s life. Virginia admits that she was going to kill Lisa but thought that was a little too far even for her. Lisa beats up her sister, and Jeremiah is conflicted as he fell in love with Virginia. Tajj is also hurt by this as he bonded with his aunt as she posed as his mother and wants to be in her life.

Lisa tells Jeremiah she thinks their marriage certificate burning was for the best since he clearly doesn’t know who she is. He tells her he truly doesn’t. Lisa tells Jeremiah to leave the house and warns her sister away from her.

Lisa tells Virginia legally King is her son and says he will be staying with her. Virginia tries to fight this but is told she will be jailed for kidnapping if she tries anything. Jeremiah gets involved and tells Lisa he is biologically his father, and that he’ll do whatever he can to keep his son with him, whether that means putting Virginia in jail or not. Lisa backs down and hands king over to Jeremiah. Jeremiah tells Virginia he is disgusted with her.
