Background Information:
On the 10th of December Matt Ashford returned to his
first TV show, One Life to Live. Matt
originally played Drew Ralston from 1982 through 1983. Drew was
killed on his way to his wedding.
Matt returned to the show but in an entirely different role, Dr.
Stephen Haver, a psychiatrist/psychology professor at Llanview
University who specializes in human sexuality, and who researches
serial killers and sexual predators. He becomes a part of the
investigation of an especially nasty killer who targets female
college students. Since the killer leaves behind children's music
boxes at the scenes of the murders he has been labeled the Music
Box Killer.
Jessica (Jess) Buchanan a reporter and student at Llanview University
was approached by a female friend who was distraught. One of her
instructors gave her an ultimatum, either have sex with him or
she would fail his class. She refused and she flunked the course.
Jess learned that this was not an isolated occurrence, because
of this she was determined to write an article on the subject
and get justice for those students whom he sexually harassed.
Meanwhile couple of murders had occurred in New Jersey, with the
death of a P.I., who was working for Kevin Buchanan finding information
on the mysterious Walker Lawrence -- who in actuality was the
very much alive Troy Manning -- it appeared that the killing was
not due to her case, but that she was the fourth victim of the
killer who now seemed to have relocated to Llanview. Police Commissioner
Bo Buchanan and FBI Agent John McBain began investigating the
case; also helping them was former cop Antonio Vega -- boyfriend
to Jessica. All the victims were strangled with a red pair of
dancer's tights, a music box was found near the body, and heart
shaped tears were painted on the victims' cheeks -- later it was
discovered that the number victim, that was how many tears the
killer painted on her cheek.
Sometime later, Jennifer Buchanan, growing tired of her new husband
Joey Buchanan, a minister at St. Andrew's church, went partying
with her friend, Karen, a hooker. Meanwhile the viewers saw their
first glimpses of the killer -- of course only from the neck to
the waist. He, or she, wore black, and heavy black gloves. He
had a black bag, and a music box which played Tchaikovsky's
Romeo et Juliet; he had a number of red lipsticks
and finger nail polish bottles, and a pair of red leotards. Later,
the killer followed Jennifer and Karen to the Palace Hotel; the
two were very drunk. Later that night, Jennifer awakens hung-over,
and sleeping in the tub, she entered the main room to find a strangled
Karen. She freaked, and called her ex-husband Rex, who had been
trying to win her back. Scared that her husband Joey Buchanan
would get upset she ask Rex for help. Rex helped her clean away
her prints, and in doing so they destroyed any possible evidence.
Later a maid found the body and called the police. At the scene
they found a wedding ring, it was Jennifer's, and they realized
someone else was there, and that the person cleaned up the room.
Meanwhile Ron Walsh -- brother to Marcie Walsh who is grieving
the death of her boyfriend Al McBain (though Al is alive but inhabiting
the body of the smarmy brother of agent John McBain in a Heaven
Can Wait type story) -- entered Rodi's bar looking
disheveled, and bleeding. He was taken in for questioning and
held, much to the anger of his sister Marcie. His story of getting
hurt fixing his car was proven false. The DA, Daniel Coulson,
was out to get him. Ron finally admitted that he fought some punks
who remembered he was Marcie's brother -- Marcie and Al had wanted
to have a peace rally and got some students angry, they attacked
Marcie, and as a result she developed an infection which she passed
on to Al, and which caused him to have liver failure. The DA does
not buy his story, and is sure he is the killer.
Meanwhile McBain figures out Jennifer was in the room and finally
gets her to admit it. McBain now was worried for her safety, especially
after the DA let it slip to the papers that she had been in the
room when the killer struck.
