Vital Information[]

  • Abandoned his family
  • Attempted to steal the money raised to build Colorado Springs a schoolhouse.
  • Tried to get his children back only after learning his new wife, Lillian Cooper is unable to bear children so he can get control of her father's money.

Season 1[]

  • Father's Day Returns to Colorado Springs & says that he will take Colleen, & Brian back to San Francisco with him. Instead he attempts to steal the money for the school house & leaves without the kids.

Season 3[]

  • In Cooper v. Quinn, Dr. Mike and Sully, follow the proper legal procedures of announcing their intention to adopt Colleen and Brian (Matthew is of age but agrees to the adoption) in the Denver and San Francisco papers. Ethan’s new wife Lilian sees the post and the couple arrive in Colorado Springs to visit with but ultimately sign over the children for adoption so they can start a new life together. Upon learning Lilian has no uterus and therefore cannot bear any children, thereby voiding the inheritance Ethan would have been executor of for said future children, he reverses his agreement to the adoption as an alternative method to activate the inheritance.
