1989 (#14) - Deveney's desire for revenge and infatuation with Thorne

Immediately after the car accident with Todd, a bystander rescued Deveney from the wreckage. But before help arrived, Deveney had brutally killed her own rescuer with a boulder and, after dragging her into the car, had blown it up along with Todd's body, in such a way as to make it appear that she was the dead woman. For a long time hovering between life and death, she finally saves herself by waking up from her coma state. However, this episode does not leave the woman without consequences, as she was completely disfigured by the explosion. Released from the hospital a few months later, an unrecognizable Deveney goes to Los Angeles with a single goal: to take revenge on the Forrester family. In her crazy mind, in fact, Deveney considers Stephanie the only one responsible for all her misadventures and is determined to punish her by taking away what she has most precious, her son Ridge, who has always been suspicious of her. But if the crazy plan is to kill Ridge, Deveney does not intend to stain herself with blood at all; it would have been Thorne, in fact, to do so, convinced that her brother's hatred towards Ridge has never really gone away and is only latent waiting to be unleashed again. Thorne, meanwhile, is facing a difficult time following his divorce with Caroline and finds a great friend in Donna. In order to keep in touch with Thorne, Deveney is hired by Sally as a presenter, announcer and spokesperson for Spectra, and succeeds in the auditions to win over the much better prepared Fawn Cumberland, who is locked by Deveney in the dressing room right at the moment of her test. In the meantime, Deveney spends a lot of time with the man, discovering a sweet and unexpected side of him; for the first time, in fact, Deveney feels that a man genuinely cares about her and ends up starting to have feelings for him. However, Deveney doesn't understand that Thorne doesn't really have any loving feelings for her and that, rather, the guy feels a genuine and sincere compassion for the woman, forced to live with the signs of the accident. Thorne himself, however, is meanwhile getting very close to Donna; and their dating only makes Deveney jealous, who in her crazy mind begins to feel betrayed by Thorne.
