Has there been an interracial birth on soaps?

Of course there have been plenty of biracial characters but I was wondering if there has been any that were actually born on their show. Actually as I was writing this I thought of GH's Tommy Hardy being born to Simone and Tom. Simone gave birth on screen right? They are the only case I can possibly think of. Im mainly looking for a black/white pairing bc soaps seem to be less taboo about other racial mixtures

ATWT had the character of Bonnie, who isn't currently on the show, but she was bi-racial, being the daughter of Jessica Griffen (African-American) and Duncan McKechnie (Caucasian). She was born in the 90's.

Andy Dixon and Denise Maynard had a daughter, Hope, that was born at the same time as Faith. The babies were switch and Lily/Holden raised interracial Hope for a while thinking she was Faith. David Stenbeck said that his influence over the real Faith in her first few months would come back to haunt Lilden some day. :)

When Faith is a little older, I hope they bring back Hope, Kim's granddaughter.

thanks. I didnt know about the ATWT characters. I thought Bonnie was a completely new character when she was introduced and I forgot about Hope. She was born onscreen? I thought Denise came to town with her

In 2003 Rick Bauer and Mel Boudreau had a interracial daughter named Leah Bauer on Guiding Light.(Named after Rick's mom "Leslie" and Mel's mom "Felicia"). However today she's a 16 year old. :rolleyes:

Jamie on OLTL was born to a Latino, Antonio, and African-American Keri. Keri herself was a biracial child (father is RJ, who is black, her mother was white....but Keri was introduced on OLTL as an adult).

Didn't Tom Cudahy and Livia have a son on AMC?

But Jamal would be interracial since his biological father is white (Alec McIntyre) and biological mother (Janeen Wilson) is black.

AMC had Erica deliver (and then steal) Maria's baby, Maddie in, when -- 1997? :unsure: But anyway, Maria Santos was Mexican-American and Edmund Grey was caucasian. I don't know HOW Erica was gonna pass Maddie off as Russian. The girl grew up looking EXTREMELY hispanic.
