Christopher was a happy child who was loved by all of the family. Sadly, his parents divorced in 1983 and Christopher lived with his mother in Dallas in a beautiful home that was Pamela's mothers. Christopher saw his father on the weekends when he visited him at Southfork. Christopher got to know and like his parents new love interests. He got close to Jenna Wade and her daughter Charlie and Mark Graison. He also was close to his cousin John Ross.

 

When Mark Graison died Christopher spent a lot of time at Southfork for awhile. Than his parents got back together. They all moved back to Southfork and things were great for Christopher until his mother was in an accident and was burned badly. He would never see her again. She left because she was so disfigured and did not want Bobby and Christopher to see her like that.

 

During what is called the dream season (season 8) Christopher was told his father died. He spent very little time at Southfork and got very close to Mark Graison who in the dream returned and was not dead. He was even happy that Pam and Mark were going to marry. He was ring bearer at the ceremony.

 

Christopher's life got more complicated after Pamela left. His father, Bobby married April Stevens, a step-mother that he loved. Before Christopher could really have her as a mother she was murdered. In Christopher's short life he has lost to mothers to death and one to leaving. All he has had to depend on constantly is Bobby.
