2007: To get back at Jack and Ashley, Gloria tainted a batch of Jabot face cream with cleaning fluid. When it was accidentally distributed, a customer died.

2008: Will’s twin, Jeffrey (Shackelford), was in possession of his brother’s evidence against Gloria and blackmailed her into marriage. They split five months later, then decided they really loved each other and eloped to Vegas, where they were wed by singing legend Little Richard.

2008: When Kevin and his fiancée, Jana, wanted to tie the knot at an ashram in Malibu, Gloria was stunned that Michael’s father, Lowell (Michael Gross) — who’d been a wanted man for decades because of a homicide connected to a bank heist — was running the place and going by the name River. Glo and Michael made up with Lowell and helped get the charges against him dropped.

2008: Jeffrey was so peeved by Gloria’s closeness with Lowell that he turned her in for the Jabot product tampering. She was cleared because there was no conclusive evidence linking the fatality to the face cream. However, Lowell skipped town after it was revealed that he actually did steal a large sum of money from the bank job.
