Jennifer Rappaport

Jen Rappaport arrives in Llanview in January 2001 as a student at Llanview University. She is the daughter of Sam Rappaport and Lindsay Rappaport. Jen begins a relationship with Cristian Vega, but when she discovers that Cristian is falling in love with Natalie Buchanan, Jen sleeps with Al Holden so as to become pregnant. She claims that the baby is Cristian's. However, during their wedding ceremony, Jen suffers a miscarriage, and she and Cristian end their relationship.

In 2003, Jennifer starts to transform her life following the murder of Sam. She finds herself torn between Joey Buchanan and Rex Balsom. Jen is married to both men in the summer of 2003, eloping with Rex first, then annulling that marriage before getting married in a more traditional ceremony to Joey in August. She then learns that she is pregnant with Joey's child, only to suffer another miscarriage after a bumpy ride on Rex's motorcycle. Jen begins taking birth control pills behind Joey's back, but it is not long before Joey finds out. That, coupled with Jen's affair with Rex, cause Joey and Jen to divorce. Shortly afterward, Joey takes a leave of absence from the church and moves to London.

In 2004, Jen befriends local rocker, Riley Colson. Riley's girlfriend, Sarah Roberts, is attacked by the Music Box Killer and is whisked away to London to recover. Jen helps Riley heal after he receives a letter from Sarah, breaking up with him.

The community center burns down, and in order for Riley, Jen, Marcie Walsh, and several others to revive their failing grades, they work together to rebuild the community center. After several sabotages on the construction site, the community center comes together and the project is soon completed. After Jen experiences a handful of sleepwalking incidences at night where she would crawl into Riley's bed, she and Riley pursue a relationship. Several months later, Jen breaks up with Riley when he cannot bring himself to believe that Jen had no involvement in the murder of Paul Cramer. Jen once again becomes close to Rex.

The evidence in Paul's murder investigation begins piling up on Jen. As Jen is leaving her mother's art gallery, she catches Riley's father, Daniel, planting evidence in her car. Jen threatens to call the police, but she never gets the chance when she is suffocated by Daniel. Daniel makes Jen's death look like a suicide. The police close in on Daniel and he is soon arrested as he is about to be sworn in as Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. Daniel is eventually sent to prison.
