Ross Rayburn is hired by Todd Manning in 2002. Todd needs his help in a plan to kidnap his children, Starr and Jack Manning. The plan fails when Téa Delgado tells Todd's ex-wife Blair about it. Ross, Todd and Téa end up shipwrecked on a deserted island. Ross falls for Téa, and Todd's romantic feelings for her resurface. Ross manages to pull her into a kiss, which Todd witnesses and then leaves. He and Téa later reconcile and have sex for the first time, but he soon leaves Ross and Téa stranded on the island while he returns to Llanview. Ross is not heard from again until 2009, when he sends his lawyer, Elijah Clark, to Llanview to warn Téa. Elijah is eventually revealed to be Ross' brother. Blair begins looking into Téa's life after the island and finds that there is nothing to see. She goes to Tahiti to track down Ross, who is living under the alias Ross Raymond, to get the full story from him. It turns out that Ross and Téa did not go their separate ways after they were rescued off the island. Instead, the two married and had a life, complete with daughter Dani, together in Tahiti. Blair convinces him to set up fake divorce papers for Téa and to come with her to Llanview. The plan is to stop Todd and Téa's pending nuptials; but after Dorian Lord pays him to make sure the wedding happens, Ross kidnaps Blair. When the two finally make it back to land, though she is upset with Ross, she carries out her plan and tells Todd Manning that his marriage to Téa is invalid. Ross later tells her that she only has half the story. Blair tries to force Téa to tell her that she has a child with Todd. He soon develops romantic feelings for Blair, who is too stuck on Todd to notice.
