Sami Crane

Sami Crane is the daughter of billionaire Victor Crane and his wife, Melody.

## Storylines

Sami Crane enrolls in Windenburg High Public School after years in private education. Lucas Roberts is enamoured by her even though he’s only seen her from afar and tries to introduce himself, but Kendall Brent manages to keep him occupied. In a co-ed gym class, Lucas’ constant staring across at the room at Sami angers Kendall, who decides to steal Sami’s clothes causing her to be in just a towel in the hallway. Luckily, Lucas gives her his jacket to wear, and the two get close.

Kendall is ribbing Sami about her unfortunate ‘accident’ when Sami decides she’s had enough and locks Kendall in a tight locker. 4 hours later, Kendall has stressed herself to sleep and is found by Vice Principal Dean. Sami and Kendall are pulled into the office and given an ultimatum - they stop the bickering and start cooperating or face expulsion. The two girls agree, and are also put on pupil duty with Rocco DiFalco and Erica Burke-Castillo.

Due to bad weather, Pupil Duty is turned into a detention and the four gather for the first session. Sami and Kendall realise they’re pretty similar people, and after the session, Sami invites Kendall on the Ccrane jet and the two head to Chicago for the evening.

Lucas’ mother Kate is out of town with her boss and he decides to have a house party. Sami gets really drunk and ends up making out with Lucas while Kendall watches with slight jealousy. When the teens head to the Festival of Light, Lucas hands Sami a rose but she embarrasses him by putting it in the bin.

Sami is excited when she is chosen (along with Kendall and Erica) to intern at a fashion company for a few weeks, although doesn't know that Kendall hacked the school system to choose the three of them.

The internship starts and Kendall suggests the three take a photo for when they’re all successful. Rocco comes to wish Erica well on her first day, but encounters Kendall; the two flirt and kiss in the photography studio and are caught by Sami. Sami warns Kendall to stop her thing with Rocco, but Kendall says she’s enjoying spending time with him. Kendall begs Sami to help her split up Erica and Rocco, and she agrees citing she doesn’t like Erica’s attitude like she’s above everyone else.

At Lucas' New Year's Eve party, Sami gets really drunk and she pines after Lucas as the clock strikes 12, although he is currently sleeping with Kendall upstairs. In the New Year, Kendall and Lucas head on a date unbeknownst to Sami.

The night before Rocco and Erica's wedding at Lucas' house, Sami catches Lucas and Kendall kissing in the hallway and is a mess, and ruined the wedding by announcing that Kendall and Rocco had been sleeping together for months. Sami shows no remorse and takes glee in the fact that Kendall has been outed, admitting she planned on telling Lucas she liked him before she saw them kiss.
In Lucas’ bedroom, Lucas finds Sami crying. He wonders why and she confesses that maybe she was too harsh on him and hands him a rose. He throws it in the bin before laughing and picking it back out. They share a kiss… As the group seem to mend their differences, they come together to celebrate in the living room, but Sami along with the rest of the group witness RJ being electrocuted and dying.
The group attend RJ’s funeral and decide that the upcoming semester break is just what they need to feel refreshed again. Sami invites Kendall to the Crane’s house in the Hamptons for a week, and the two begin to mend their friendship.

#### After School

Now in her final few months of school, Sami and Lucas are slowly going steady. She overhears her father talk about his Living Will - a set of rules and instructions that come into play as his family grows. One of the points discussed was that his child that produces his first grandchild will receive a substantial trust fund for themselves and the child, and full control of a subsidiary of Crane Industries. Sami immediately comes off the pill and sleeps with Lucas, falling pregnant. She gleefully tells her parents after 9 weeks where she learns the true details of the will - the baby must be born a male for the parent to qualify. Sami panics as her cash cow might turn out to be a dud, and it's too late to abort. Sami invites Lucas over and tells him that she is pregnant. Lucas can't believe it and rushes home.

Lucas' mother, Kate, visits a heavily pregnant Sami, calling her a hussy and warns her to lie about the baby's paternity, allowing Lucas to have a future even if she doesn't. Sami doesn't want to go along with it, but Kate's words have her thinking that she might hurt the baby if she doesn't do what Kate says.

Sami tells Lucas that she slept with a random man before him and there was no way that they could've conceived the baby together. Lucas is furious and breaks up with her instantly, calling her a slut with daddy issues. He wishes her good luck with her baby, she'll need it.

Sami visits Lucas on the day he leaves for college and he completely ignores her even after she apologises for the whole situation.

Eventually, Sami gives birth to a baby girl, who she named Lyric (due to her mother's name being Melody). Sami slowly detaches from Lyric and is low after Lucas leaves town. With Kate on her back warning her to not contact Lucas, she considers running away and leaving Lyric at home but ultimately decides against it.

After listening to Kate's veiled threats one too many times, she decides to fake a paternity test and hands her the results - he wasn't the father of her daughter after all. Kate is relieved and takes Sami's word for it. Sami drowns her sorrows and sleeps with Damon Quartermaine but tells him that it was just sex.

Sami has a quiet rest of the year, until months later, she walks in on Melody holding Lisa hostage - there she learns of Victor and Lisa's affair and begs for her mother to put the gun down. Melody decides to leave town for a few months to heal, and Sami is equally scared of her mother's mental health and furious at Lisa for getting with her father. When she hears that Lisa might press charges, she begs her not to and explains her mother is ill. Lisa sees how hurt Sami is and agrees not to press charges as long as Melody stays away from her.

Lucas visits town to celebrate his mother’s birthday and bumps into Sami. They reminisce about their school days and Sami considers telling him the truth about Lyric but backs out at the last second. Sami makes a move on Lucas and tries to kiss him, but he rejects her saying that he’s going steady with someone back in college. Sami is heartbroken but wishes Lucas well.
