GH:
Dr. Buzz Stryker (Don Galloway, July 25, 1985-June 23, 1987) -- An affable redundancy. According to the 1985 summaries, Buzz appears to have been chem tested with Monica, resulting in jealousy from Alan. I'm curious if this was done just to play some beats in the wider Alan-Monica story, or if there was some interest in Buzz/Monica/Alan before it became Sean/Monica/Alan. If they had done Buzz/Monica/Alan, I can't see it being anything more than a poor man's Rick/Monica/Alan.
Buzz is most infamous for not clicking romantically with Anna, which is where I'm at in my 1986 viewing. Galloway and Finola Hughes have good friend chemistry, but it's even better with John Reilly. It's also a little silly for Robin to have three godfathers, when Sean and Frisco are more than up for the job.
I'll be curious if my thoughts on Buzz change once we get into his alcoholism and the introduction of his daughter, Sandy.
