He and Alison get engaged in season two, but she gets cold feet on the day of the wedding due to personal issues with her father.

At the end of season three, after Alison moves to Hong Kong for a job offer, he marries his coworker Brooke Armstrong.

The marriage ends after Samantha has an affair with baseball player, Jeff Baylor, the same time that Billy became interested in Jennifer Mancini.

She travels to Los Angeles to attend the funeral of Billy's father, and while she's there she decides to break up with Keith and move back to L.A. Keith returns to Los Angeles to try and win Alison back, and when she tells him she does not want a relationship with him, he attempts to rape her.

In later seasons, it is revealed that Kimberly has severe mental problems, including dissociative identity disorder.

Brooke was introduced in season three as the daughter of Hayley Armstrong, a wealthy businessman, and she was first an intern and then an employee at D&D Advertising.

Hayley didn't have a lot of respect for Billy and was not convinced the marriage is a good idea, but went along with it to make Brooke happy.

She originally thought she was pregnant but then learned she was having a hysterical pregnancy, and rather than telling Billy the truth she pretended she'd lost the baby in a miscarriage.

Billy, fed up with Brooke's lying and controlling ways, decided to divorce her and she moved out of their shared apartment and into a hotel.

In the season four episode "No Lifeguard on Duty", Brooke showed up at the Melrose Place apartment complex and antagonized Billy as he left the building.

However, Nick accidentally killed Tiffany ("Christine"), and he and Taylor put her on railroad tracks, making it appear that she did commit suicide.

When Jane found out she was pregnant with Michael's baby, Kyle agrees to help her raise it, and they continue living together happily.

Taylor and Nick wanted the fake Christine to pretend being suicidal, that way Kyle would try to go and save her on his and Amanda's wedding day.

Unfortunately, Sydney was supposedly killed at the wedding after being hit by a car that Jim Reilly, Samantha's father, was driving.

Though he initially declined, he later discovered that Lexi had been set up to take the fall in her father's embezzlement scheme, and needed five million dollars as a result.

Shortly after he arrived in Los Angeles, he began working at Amanda Woodward Advertising, and expressed romantic interest in Megan.

In the season four finale, plotting revenge, Jane attempts to kill him, but that does not go as planned when Sydney secretly removed the bullets from her gun.

After he escapes, he begins playing mind games with Jane and Sydney, leading them to believe he is still alive, this is later confirmed when he confronts them directly.

Feeling resentful toward Peter and others, Eve undergoes hypnosis in order to understand what happened when she murdered Kent.

Now mentally unstable over the truth about her betrayal and the life she lost while in prison, she attempted to run Peter and Amanda over, pretending to be Lexi.
