Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 219860" data-attributes="member: 27">Appropo of nothing, Ed Nelson had a prominent role (Senator Mark Denning) in the daytime soap Capitol (1982-86-ish) that seemed to bridge this gap.  He started out as this heroic, nice guy who was trapped in a loveless marriage with a psycho wife (played by Julie Adams) who pretended to be agoraphobic.  He managed to shake her and hook up with town goody-goody Clarissa, but got left out in the cold when her husband came back from the dead ('cause, y'know that happens).  Eventually, they revealed Mark to be a traitor in one of their "try -anything-to-keep-from-getting-cancelled" stories.  Nelson hated the plot twist so much that he walked out on his contract.  Had the show not been cancelled anyway, he probably would have ended up getting sued.</blockquote>
