[[Image:SamManning-2008-01-24.jpg|thumb|right|Jacob or Luke Clodfelter as '''Sam Manning''' (2008)]]
:''Zachary and Daniel Frisch (2006-2007)''
:''Jacob and Luke Clodfelter (2007-present)''

The biological child of [[Todd Manning]] and [[Margaret Cochran]], Sam is first called '''Todd Manning Jr.''' by his mother at birth, but ultimately adopted illegally and named '''Thomas John "Tommy" McBain'''. After discovering his son is alive, Todd renames him '''Sam Manning'''.

Long obsessed with Todd Manning and causing trouble for him and his family, mentally unstable Margaret Cochran appears on his wedding day to ex-wife [[Blair Cramer]]. When he refuses to leave with her willingly, she shoots both his knees, kidnaps him and holds him hostage. Wanting a child by Todd, Margaret ultimately rapes him; he allows it to happen to keep Margaret from murdering Blair. Margaret disappears and Todd and Blair are later reunited; a pregnant Margaret returns to [[Llanview, Pennsylvania|Llanview]] but is murdered. Todd is tried, convicted and sentenced to death for the crime; he is administered the lethal injection but revived at the very last second by his enemy [[Spencer Truman|Dr. Spencer Truman]] as proof surfaces that Margaret is alive. With no memory of her time in Llanview, Margaret is first unable to recall even having a child; soon the memories come flooding back.

It is revealed that Spencer had taken Margaret in, orchestrated her "murder" and framed Todd. Spencer had delivered Margaret's baby &mdash; whom she unofficially named Todd Manning Jr. &mdash; on [[February 3]] [[2006]], and had then disposed of it in a [[black market]] adoption. Margaret dies following a van wreck before she can reveal all the details.

Todd hires young private investigator [[Rex Balsom]] to find his son in late 2006. Rex soon discovers that the child is actually his own [[godparent|godson]]: Tommy, the adopted son of close friend [[Marcie McBain|Marcie]] and her new husband, [[Michael McBain|Dr. Michael McBain]]. Familiar with the McBains' devotion to Tommy and knowing that they would be devastated if he were taken away, Rex is unsure what to do; he is also aware of Todd's volatile behavior, above-the-law history and selfishness. Perceiving Todd's consideration of his missing son as nothing more than a lost possession, Rex decides to keep the secret.

Rex's girlfriend [[Adriana Cramer]] and later Michael himself become part of the conspiracy to keep Tommy with the McBains. Rex goes as far as faking a death certificate for Todd's missing child to get Todd to give up the search. An unhinged Spencer is murdered; in the wake of his death, hints to the whereabouts of Todd's son begin to surface, prompting Todd to resume his search. Spencer's killer is finally revealed to be [[Lindsay Rappaport]], who loves Marcie like a daughter. Lindsay had discovered Tommy's true identity and had stabbed Spencer to bury the secret forever. But at the same time Lindsay is arrested, the rest of Spencer's final plan plays out as his heir [[Miles Laurence]] gives Todd proof that Spencer orchestrated the adoption of Todd's son by the McBains.

Todd takes the McBains to court to win custody of his son, and both sides malign each other in a bitter battle. On [[9 October]] [[2007]], Todd is awarded custody. As he arrives at the McBains' to pick up his son, Marcie escapes out a window with Tommy and flees town. Pursued by Todd, [[FBI]] agent [[Lee Ramsey]] and her brother-in-law [[John McBain (One Life to Live)|Detective John McBain]], Marcie and Tommy travel under assumed names to [[Decatur, Georgia|Decatur]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], then [[New Orleans]] and finally [[Paris, Texas|Paris]], [[Texas]]. A disguised Marcie walks into the Bonjour Café, not realizing that Llanview matriarch (and Todd's sister) [[Victoria Lord|Viki Lord Davidson]] has been working there incognito to temporarily escape her life. Marcie befriends waitress [[Gigi Morasco]], who soon discovers Marcie's identity but promises not to turn Marcie in.

With Marcie and his son still at large, Todd announces on [[December 20]] [[2007]] that "Tommy" will be renamed "Sam Manning," in honor of his deceased mentor and friend, [[Sam Rappaport]]. Having unknowingly avoided Viki for weeks, Marcie soon comes face to face with her; when Todd and John appear at the Bonjour, a desperate Marcie holds Viki at gunpoint. The FBI and police soon surround the diner; Marcie's doctor husband Michael is sent in to help an ailing Viki, becoming Marcie's willing prisoner as Viki is released to get medical attention. Michael is temporarily reunited with his former adopted son "Tommy." Michael manages to convince Marcie to surrender; they will lose their child but will still have each other for support. On [[January 14]] [[2008]], Todd's son Sam is finally returned to him.

==Shane Morasco== <!-- This section is the link destination for [[Shane Morasco]] -->
:''[[Austin Williams]] ([[October 29]] [[2007]]-present)''

'''Shane Morasco''' is the young son of waitress and single parent [[Gigi Morasco]], and is a constant presence at her place of employment, the Bon Jour Café in [[Paris, Texas]]. Shane is close with all of the Bon Jour's staff, including [[Victoria Lord|Viki Davidson]]; despite being energetic and curious, Shane is [[asthma]]tic, and has frequent attacks which can send him to the emergency room. Gigi asserts that his father is a deceased war hero, a story Shane thrills to hear again and again, but there are indications that this may be not be true. She is especially troubled when her old high school boyfriend [[Rex Balsom]] later appears at the Bon Jour.

When Gigi becomes friends with fugitive [[Marcie McBain]], Shane comes to know her in her disguise as Bon Jour waitress "Sally Ann". "Sally Ann" recommends fantasy books for Shane to read so he can improve his reading comprehension in school. When [[Todd Manning]] and [[Lee Ramsey]] come to Paris to apprehend Marcie, Shane is taken hostage along with Gigi in order to force her to lure Marcie into a trap. Todd sees to it that Shane is kept comfortable with video games and snacks, and kept unaware of the nature of the situation, and Shane and Gigi are freed when Todd and Ramsey pursue Marcie. After the hostage standoff at the Bon Jour involving Marcie and Viki, Gigi is arrested for aiding and abetting at a fugitive. A tearful Shane watches his mother be taken away, and later pleads with Viki to help her. Viki pays Gigi's bail and Gigi and Shane are reunited, and say goodbye to Viki as she returns to Llanview.

Gigi and Shane later go to Llanview to testify in the case against Marcie. Rex's fiancée [[Adriana Cramer]] discovers Shane's existence, and suspects that he is Rex's son. Rex refuses to believe it, and Gigi confirms that Shane's father is a deceased [[Navy SEAL]]. Gigi is troubled as Rex begins getting closer to Shane. On [[17 March]] [[2008]], she admits aloud that Rex is Shane's father. <ref name="Shane">Gigi confirms that Rex is Shane's father in the [[17 March]] [[2008]] episode.</ref> Gigi and Shane celebrate Shane's 10th birthday on [[March 25]] [[2008]].

'''Brendan Patrick Thornhart''' is the son of [[Patrick Thornhart]] and [[Blair Cramer]]. In 1996, Blair gives birth to a stillborn baby boy she names Brendan Patrick.

'''Jamie Vega''' is the daughter of [[Antonio Vega]] and [[Keri Reynolds]]; following the death of her mother, Jamie is the subject of a fierce custody battle between her father and maternal grandfather, [[R.J. Gannon]]. [[Jessica Buchanan]] acts as a mother to Jamie during Jessica's long relationship with (and short marriage to) Antonio, and nearly adopts Jamie before she and Antonio split up. In April 2007, Jamie runs out of Antonio and Jessica's loft as they are arguing. Outside, Jamie runs through Angel Square, directly past Nash and her uncle Cristian, who witness Jamie being hit by a car. Jamie is rushed to the hospital, where she is treated by [[Michael McBain|Dr. Michael McBain]] and [[#Paige Miller|Dr. Paige Miller]]. Jamie makes a full recovery. After Antonio and Jessica's break up, Antonio briefly leaves town, taking Jamie with him. They soon return.
