Prince Edmund Winslow arrived in Springfield after being exiled from his homeland, the Island of San Cristobel. Edmund's older brother, Richard, was forced to punish Edmund with banishment for crimes against the crown. Phillip Spaulding, wishing to help Richard, gave Edmund a position at Spaulding Enterprises. Edmund, not content to play second fiddle to anyone, blackmailed Phillip and continued trying to gain power in San Cristobel by discrediting Richard and Cassie.

When Richard discovered Edmund's scheming, he decided to have his brother executed. After a fraught, emotional confrontation where they discussed their childhood problems. Richard decided to spare Edmund's life. This prompted Edmund to (temporarily) turn over a new leaf, but soon, temptation got the better of him. Edmund has continued plotting Richard's downfall with his older brother none the wiser (so far). As if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, Edmund has also worked his way into the good graces of Lizzie Spaulding, Susan Lemay, and Beth Lemay. Will there finally be an honest romance and family life in Edmund's future? Only time will tell...

	"Never fear, Reva lives..."
	"You're not fit to rule, and you haven't been for years..."
	"So, these are my terms..."
	"Your obsession with Reva has meant disaster for our country..."
	"I've devoted my life to San Cristobel..."
	"Ever since Reva rose out of the sea like some southern-fried Venus..."
	"I've spent my entire life trying to help you..."
	"Excellent, Mr. Lewis. That's keeping your eye on the ball..."
	"You're wrong brother. I love you, and I always will..."
	"You'll abdicate?..."
	"Ever since we were children I could tell when you were lying..."
	"Cassie, very, very easy..."
	"Now, Richard, you lied to me, and I'll make you pay for that..."
	"If you follow us, I'll kill her..."

	"I think we have some business to discuss..."

	"Can you give me a description of the car sir..."
	"You don't think this is very serious, do you..."
	"We have taken a tumble now haven't we..."

	"Carmen, can I get you anything..."
	"You have very good hands, Edmund..."
	"Clearly, you need a distraction..."
	"What about a little carnal diversion..."
	"Now Carmen, is that any way to respond to a man's attentions..."
