TJ's character so far on the soap has been played by three actors; Krys Meyer in 2012, Tequan Richmond from 2012 to 2018, and Tajh Bellow from 2018 to the present day.
TJ was conceived by Jordan when she had an affair with Shawn whilst she was already married to Tommy Ashford. TJ's major love interest on the show had been Molly Davis and despite having a rocky and tumultuous relationship, the two had moved in together in 2021. TJ works as a professional doctor and interned as a pre-med doctor in 2017 at the hospital.
In 2023, Molly and TJ had been expecting their first child via surrogacy but unfortunately, the surrogate had miscarried during the tenure of her pregnancy. In January 2024, they found out that they were expecting again as Kristina, Molly's sister who had agreed to be a surrogate, was pregnant after a successful IVF procedure.
