Neal Paxton

Neal Paxton was a member of the Corinth legacy who entered the lineage through his marriage with Ginger Corinth. He fathered six children, four from marriage, and another two from two different affairs.

Early Life
Neal Paxton was born to Harold Nix and Susie Paxton. His parents were divorced, and his mother gained custody over him, resulting in Neal's adoption of her mother's surname. He had a younger half-sister named Diane, who lived with his father.

Meeting Ginger
Neal was a neighbor to Ginger and she was a couple of years older than him. They became good friends in the neighborhood. They fell in love in their twenties during college life.

Personality
Due to his parents' divorce, he became bitter towards his father, Harold, who left them. Their relationship became more strained after discovering that his father became romantically involved with other women. Their relationship mended a bit after both of his parents were on good terms again and agreed to live with each other for a while, though they never remarried. After his mother died, his father once again started seeing another woman, Clara, who would later bear his father's child, who was Neal's younger half-sister, causing their relationship to break once more. However, Neal does not bear any ill will towards Diane, only their father. Thanks to Diane, Neal and Harold's relationship was fully mended.

Despite his (initial) resentment towards his father, ironically, he grew up to become just like his father; a womanizer who, after Ginger's death, was romantically involved with other women, two of which produced a child from him.
