Cheresa then suggested to her friend that she give the baby up for adoption, like she was. Dawn agreed. Cheresa then met with Brad and revealed that they are adoptive siblings. Brad revealed to her that he got Meggan pregnant and she went with him to tell their parents, Brooke and Greg, and their sister Abby. Greg, meanwhile, continued to try to make up to Cheresa for sending her to the bible camp, even though she told her Dad it was all forgiven. Cheresa also supported Andrew during his crisis with Paige and suggested that they join the Gen Next House with Abby & Paige; they got in. Cheresa was devastated when Dawn was shot; she supported her friend when she lost her baby and suggested to her that she come the house as well, but Dawn said no. Cheresa was put off by Shelley asking her what her feelings for Dawn are. Cheresa entered the Gen Next House with Andrew, Abby, Max and Paige. She tried to keep the peace between Andrew and Paige and realized that Abby and Max wanted the other two, respectively. At the Summer Send-Off Dance, the kids got drunk and passed out.

2020
Cheresa supported Dawn while she was grieving the loss of Barbara and Helen. She also thought Dawn started acting slightly odd, unknowing that Dawn was popping anti-depressants. During a family dinner, Cheresa told Abby, Brad, Brooke and Greg that she was curious about her biological parents. Alone, Brooke and Greg told their daughter that her adoption was closed so they had no information about her parents. Cheresa wondered if she should forget about finding them. Shelley suggested that she reach out to a private investigator to help her search, so Cheresa asked Meggan for help. Cheresa continued to wonder about who her biological parents are. Shelley & Dawn suggested that she hire a PI to look for her parents, so Cheresa went to see Meggan, who agreed to look for her parents. Cheresa and Shelley grew concerned about Dawn, who continued to exhibit signs of exhaustion. Greg, then, stunned Cheresa, Abby & Brad with the news of Brooke's affair with Robbie. Cheresa was devastated. Dawn took her for a walk, but fell asleep on a bench on the pier. Cheresa got caught on the pier; she slipped and hit her head which knocked her unconscious and she fell into the river! Max saw her and saved her life, but she was put on a ventilator at the hospital. While she was in her coma, Chris and Trenyce learned the truth that she was their daughter. Cheresa flatlined while Chris, Trenyce, Brooke and Greg were all fighting with one another but she survived and eventually came out of her coma. Once awake, Chris and Trenyce told her the truth. On Christmas Day, however, Cheresa choose to spend the day with Brooke and Greg.

2021
Cheresa was approached early in the new year by her biological parents as they wanted to have a relationship with her but she told Chris and Trenyce that she still needed more time to wrap her head around everything that had happened and she needed to focus on Brooke and her trial. Cheresa and Dawn also continued to support each other. Right before Dawn was leaving for rehab, she was served with a restraining order to stay away from Cheresa! Cheresa vowed to uncover the truth; she confronted Brooke and Greg and then Chris and Trenyce, all of whom told her that they had nothing to do with it. Greg, however, told Brooke that he got Chris to arrange it. Cheresa learned and confroned her parents. Trenyce was equally as horrified as Cheresa. Chris agreed to drop the restraining order, but the ordeal caused a bigger rift with Cheresa and her parents. Dawn came home and Cheresa was able to reunite with her. Dawn encouraged Cheresa to reach out to her parents. On the night before Brooke's trial, Cheresa and Trenyce shared a close moment. On Dawn's suggestion, Cheresa went to locate her mother only to find her in bed with Brad! Cheresa then testified at Brooke's trial. Brooke was given community service. Following the trial, Chris and Trenyce hoped that Cheresa would come around to them but she pushed them away because of Trenyce's affair with Brad. Brad even thought it was odd when Cheresa acted odd with him. Cheresa admitted she knew of Trenyce and Brad's affair to Dawn; Dawn accidentally told Trenyce, which Chris heard. Cheresa broke up a fight between Brad and Chris. She then dumped Dawn since she felt like she couldn't trust her anymore. Cheresa, meanwhile, supported Abby when she told her she was pregnant. Cheresa suggested to her sister that she give the baby up for adoption. Cheresa continued to be cold to Dawn after learning that she told Trenyce that she knew about her affair with Brad. Cheresa, actually, grew closer to Chris and Trenyce after Chris was in an accident with Adam. Cheresa was put off to learn that Chris was drunk driving, which was the cause of the accident but she was able to forgive her parents and they grew closer. Cheresa went to Chris’ trial, where he was sentenced to 18 months in jail. Cheresa, meanwhile, slept with Shelley in a one night stand. They both agreed that it was a mistake and they agreed not to tell Dawn as she would be crushed. Post Chris’ trial, Cheresa and Dawn grew closer and they agreed to get back together but Cheresa had to admit that she had an affair as she didn’t want to have any secrets. Dawn was crushed that she Cheresa slept with Shelley and lashed out at both of them, who told Dawn that it was just a mistake. Cheresa visited Chris and he told her to keep fighting for Dawn if that’s what she wanted. Soon after, Cheresa visited Chris again with Trenyce and they grew closer as a family. Then, Cheresa went to Shelley’s as she figured out a way they could make it up to Dawn but Cheresa found Shelley’s body that had been stabbed multiple times and covered with rose peddles. Cheresa was horrified and Simona announced there was a serial killer on the loose. Cheresa and Dawn leaned on their families as they grieved their friend and threw Shelley a memorial service.

Shortly after, Chris was released from jail on good behavior, and she reunited with her father. Chris stunned Cheresa by revealing Trenyce's pregnancy to her. Cheresa was stunned when Greg announced he killed Brooke in self-defense after she was revealed to be the killer! Cheresa and Abby supported Greg through his trial, where they learned that Brooke owed millions in unpaid taxes. Cheresa, meanwhile, got a modelling job offer from both Robertson Enterprises and Roboto.Cheresa was stunned by Abby's admission in court that she, not Greg, killed Brooke! Abby was sentenced to community service and the Lawson's tried to put the pieces of their life back together. Cheresa, Abby and Greg paid Brooke's IRS bill and the family was left with a cash shortage, which is why Cheresa loved the idea of modelling. Cheresa struggled to decide which modelling contract to take: Robertson Enterprises or Roboto's. Dawn supported her girlfriend and Cheresa finally made her decision. Cheresa finally decided to go with Robertson, which made Tyler thrilled. Robbie was livid and vowed to ruin her campaign. Cheresa's campaign, however, was a huge success. Shortly after, she started getting some odd fan letters in the mail. Dawn tried to shrug them off as nothing but they bothered Cheresa. Chris, then, came to his daughter and asked her if anything was going on between Andrew and Trenyce. Cheresa was stunned and said no but Cheresa then walked in and saw her mother kissing Andrew! She confronted Andrew and when she left, Tara (the woman that Robbie hired to scare Cheresa) kidnapped Cheresa! She woke up tied to a chair in the Lawson storage locker. Cheresa pleaded with Tara to let her go, to no avail. Shortly after, however, Robbie, Greg and Kim arrived and tried to save Cheresa. Tara pulled a gun on them and a fight broke out which ended in a bunch of boxes falling on Kim! Tara escaped and went on the run. In the hospital, Cheresa was given a clean bill of health but she told Dawn and Greg that she couldn't model anymore. She quit Robertson Enterprises and started to have nightmares.

Cheresa continued to have nightmares about her kidnapping. Dawn and Greg suggested that she go to therapy, which seemingly helped her. Greg, then, suggested that they hire a new maid for the estate; Cheresa agreed and Greg hired Traci.

Cheresa finally expressed her concern to Greg, who said he would keep an eye on it. To cover, Traci helped Greg plan a proposal to Kim. Cheresa and Abby were happy for their father.

Soon, however, Dawn and Cheresa noticed that Andrew was gambling more often at the casino. They expressed their concerns but Andrew said he was fine. Cheresa started to help Trenyce with her wedding planning. However, she overheard Trenyce and Andrew talking about their affair and was horrified. She told Dawn her mother had outdone herself this time and refused to be Trenyce's maid of honor, which left Trenyce confused. Cheresa told Chris that marrying Trenyce would be a mistake because she was tired of her mother lying about her affair with Andrew. Trenyce, soon, confronted Cheresa and she told her mother that it was time to be honest. Dawn supported her fiancé and told her to do what she thought was right. Cheresa showed up at the church on Trenyce and Chris' wedding day, looking to stop the wedding, but she didn't and her parents got married. Chris and Trey went on their honeymoon and when they returned, Chris reached out to Cheresa in hopes of rebuilding their relationship. Cheresa told him that she and Dawn were going to elope.

She went to Adam and Helen, who agreed that it wasn't like Dawn. They then got word that Dawn had been hit by a car and was at the hospital fighting for her life! Cheresa was worried when Dawn was put into a medically induced coma so she could try to recover. The accident, however, allowed Cheresa to lean on Chris and Trenyce and they all seemingly grew closer. Cheresa was thrilled when Dawn slowly started to get better. She told Trenyce that the situation with Dawn has made her realize that they need to tell Chris the truth. The conversation, however, sent Trenyce into labour! She supported Chris while Trey required an emergency c-section, but she gave birth to a baby girl, who they named Albertinah, Tinah for short, after Chris' sister.
