I only skimmed a bit. Terry Hindman… is this the character in the scene with Billy Bristow asking about where Jack is? I think it might be a young Tony Todd, but I am not great at identifying people especially without their original voice

@slick jones Robin Givens' character is Terry Hindman. In her conversation with Stacey, she acknowledges that she is Art's daughter and the connection between Mike and Art being on the police force together. Her boyfriend is Ron Turner's son, but I am not sure what the name is. It does sound like Lil, but I think it's Lyle Turner.

It's worth noting that, in the bible, Ron Turner's son was to marry Lorna Forbes in an interracial romance story that wasn't focused around race. I didn't realize that Ron's son had actually appeared onscreen in 1983. Terry and Lyle would be a pretty unique couple in the sense that they are two children who's family units completely ignore them even though other siblings are introduced down the line for both of them. It's wild to think that the show could have had such a vibrant African American canvas in the early-mid 1980s had they committed to the characters. Robin Givens and Susan Walters fighting over Tony Todd would have been something.

@Vee @DRW50 I apologize. I feel like I've read posts by one (or maybe both of you) talking about some of Tony Todd's work. Am I wrong in thinking this is him?

That sure looks like him to me. Despite the dub over his famous voice I'd lay odds it definitely is.

Awesome. I was thinking Todd after posting, so I'm glad it's confirmed.

Interesting about the show's bible. Lorna deserved better than she got. I would have brought her back after O'Hara Parker was forgotten.. (Which would have taken about two weeks. She was no Susan Walters).
