BIG BUSINESS
Barbara Ryan Originals (BRO): Barbara founded this design house in 1988 after being released from wrongful imprisonment for the murder of James (who hadn't actually died). While Babs was locked up, Lucinda was running her previous company, Simply Barbara, and refused to sell it back. BRO was briefly owned by Rosanna and renamed Monte Carlo by Craig in 2002-03. Barbara recently teamed with children Paul and Jennifer to restore the company to its former glory.
WorldWide: Lucinda's multinational conglomerate was founded in 1991 after she was ousted from her former corporation, Walsh Enterprises, in a coup orchestrated by Connor and Kirk.
Fashions: This women's fashion boutique has been in business since 1981, when it was opened by Barbara and Lisa. Lisa is now the sole owner.
