A former private detective, Owen started working at Forrester Creations as a swimwear designer (a natural career progression) and quickly developed feelings for Donna Logan-Forrester. Too bad he was hired to seduce her by her angry stepdaugther, Felicia! But things didn't go too far because she had just married Eric Forrester. A constant heartbreaker (just look at him), he later got involved with Jackie M. and Bridget Forrester.
