Was engaged to Heather Gibbons History: When Kipp laid his eyes upon Heather, he knew she was the woman he wanted to spend his life with. She, on the other hand, was more interested in what his father could do for her career. She used Kipp to help her get ahead, but when Doug came to town, he tried to warn his son about Heather and her ways. Still Kipp ignored his father's warnings and gave everything up to be with Heather only to discover that his father was right. Brokenhearted Kipp returned to his apartment and seemingly shot himself (as it was later discovered someone else shot him). After that Kipp was in a coma and Heather realized she was pregnant with their baby. Kipp disappeared shortly after, but when he returned to town it was clear that things had changed. He and Heather are still friends.
