Brief Character History
Caleb was forced to move from his mountain home into his nearby cabin when Erica Kane's plane crashed into his house. He didn't know who Erica was and was clearly annoyed by her presence in his life. Erica was eventually rescued by Jackson Montgomery and Krystal Carey. After she was rescued, Caleb could not stop thinking AbOUT "Dorothy" (his nickname for her). Caleb was summoned to the reading of Palmer's will and he now owns 50% of Cortlandt Electronics, with Erica owning the other half. Caleb also was forced to move into Wildwind which Palmer has purchased for him. When Erica tries to get him to sign over his shares of Cortlandt, he refuses telling he's not going to give up that easily. When Greenlee and David Hayward went over to Wildwind to try and buy back the mansion from Caleb, Erica informed him that they were the ones who sabotaged her plane, and he refused to sell Wildwind to the Haywards telling them, "You destroyed my house, so I'm keeping yours."
On July 15, 2010, Erica searched information on Caleb and found out that he is a graduate from Stanford Law School and was a up-and-coming attorney in Los Angeles. He later reveals to Erica, that his wife, Sonia Reyes, was stolen by Adam Chandler, who ruined his law career.
Caleb currently resides in Wildwind with Bianca Montgomery, Erica's second daughter and a friend of his late Uncle Palmer, and her two daughters, Miranda and Gabrielle.
He is the rival of Adam Chandler and his son JR Chandler. He is best friends with Krystal Carey and Marissa Tasker.
Caleb changed his surname from Cooney to Cortlandt in September 2010, per a request from his Uncle Palmer.
He is Marissa's lawyer to take AJ away from his enemy JR Chandler. He doesn't know that Asher Pike is his son and works for his enemy JR Chandler.
On November 2, 2010, Caleb found out that Asher Pike is his son with Sonia Reyes. In December 2010, Caleb told Asher the truth about Sonia and how she died.
Eventually, Caleb manages to win back Cortlandt Electronics from JR, leaving Chandler Enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy.
