He's been with his dying brother and helping take care of the family after his brother's offscreen death.

Holden/Dallas/Jack: Somewhere in Oakdale, there is an illegal prostitution ring and all the prostitutes are being illegally smuggled into the country. Jack and his partner on the case, Dallas, get in over their heads on the case and Holden is there to bail them out. But it will cost one person their life.

But Maddie isn't really returning those feelings. Lisa/Roxie/Tom/Margo: Lisa hires a personal assistant to help her with her finances and to help her run her different businesses. However, this new assistant, known as Roxie, has ulterior motives, which the audience will know way before Lisa does. And once those motives are unmasked, Tom and Margo will be involved.

Paul/Barbara/James: James is trying to draw Barbara back into his life, but a sudden event changes everything. Paul will be there to take the blame, while Barbara hides in shame. And as always, James will be there to stir the pot up just a bit. The storyline will wrap up in early March, prompting a major character in this triangle to leave...and it's not who you think it is.

For the most part, it will be smooth sailing for these two...but there's always a few bumps in the road.

He had no experience whatsoever. But when we screen-tested him, he seemed 'okay'. Not good...but 'okay' ", says TWOO Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford.

Karl Girolamo first appeared on ATWT a few months ago as "Kevin", Luke's friend. But producers were so impressed with his performance that they offered him the role of "Heath Clayborn", and Giralamo was more than happy to take them up on their offer. "I had actually just auditioned for a part on One Life to Live when I got a call from Dusty Alford. He was so impressed with my acting gig on ATWT that he offered me another role.
