He bonds with Maxie Jones while they two are trapped in the hotel vault during the crisis. After the hotel explodes, Maxie sneaks Coop out and hides his part in the hostage crisis. She helps him get a job working security at the same hotel until Sonny Corinthos finds out he was one of the hostage takers.

Cooper is found dead in January 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words cooper and/or barrett:
“Agnosticism has nothing to impart. Its sermons are the exhortations of one who convinces you he stands on nothing and urges you to stand there too.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“What is art,
But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
When, graduating up in a spiral line
Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
It pushes toward the intense significance
Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
