The son of Harley Davidson
Cooper and Rick Bauer, Jude was born on screen on October 12, 2001.
With Rick's help, Gus Aitoro delivered him when he and Harley were
accidentally locked in a jail cell together. The baby was named after
his mother's favorite song, the Beatles' "Hey Jude". Although Harley
wanted to marry Rick to try to give her son a stable family, her love for
Gus made that
impossible, so they
resolved to
remain friends.
In 2004, Harley's
ex-husband Phillip Spaulding kidnapped Jude, along with his own children, but
Gus found them and returned them to their mother. In the summer of
2005, Gus and Harley finally married, but the following year he became
addicted to drugs due to a leg injury. When his wife temporarily left
him, however, he was able to overcome his problem.
Frightened while
his stepfather was beating Dylan for kissing Harley in 2007, brave little
Jude called 911 and summoned the police.
