History
Keith Dennison is the father of Tricia and Megan Dennison. He raised his daughters alone and was overprotective of them, especially Tricia, during her relationship with Ryan McNeil. In 1996, Jill Abbott became involved with Keith. Keith proposed to Jill, but she turned him down.

Keith was against Tricia and Ryan's marriage and was worried that his daughter would end up getting hurt. After she miscarried, Tricia began acting strangely and committed a number of crimes before leaving town with her father. Keith returned to Genoa City later, once again to take care of Tricia, who was slowly losing her mental health. Keith decided to institutionalize his daughter, but she recovered later, even though Keith did not believe her. Tricia tried to kill Keith one day, but he suffered a stroke and ended up comatose in the hospital. Keith left town, but he was contacted by Victoria Newman, who was interested in Tricia's husband, Ryan. Victoria wanted Keith to convince Tricia to leave town as well. Tricia ended up attacking Victoria and fatally shooting Ryan on their wedding day. She was then institutionalized, and Keith has not returned to Genoa City since his daughter's episode.
