Roger's No Dodger: Howarth Tells All

SOD 5/6/97

Do you find it odd that Todd and Marty's lives continue to intersect after all these years?

I think everybody thinks it's odd. I guess it's a small town...

Is there anything Todd could have done to prevent this tragedy (Brendan's death)?

No, that's unlikely.

Are you pleased with the way OLTL has fleshed out Todd's relationship with Viki?

I am very pleased with it. Todd and Viki's relationship is a very complex and interesting one, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Erika [Slezak].

Have you discussed Todd with new Head Writers Claire and Matt Labine?

Yes, I have spoken with both of them. I've really enjoyed talking with them. They have a lot of wonderful ideas. It's a pleasure to work for them and to say their words.

What are your hopes for Todd in the next few months?

I am sure that whatever they have planned for this character will be interesting. They seem committed to staying true to the history of the character.

Is it possible for Todd to be happy?

No. He'll always get in his own way--or something else will get in his way. 1
