History By Lori L.
Tony,
Viki and Victor
Tony Harris came to town and was revealed to be Victor
Lord's long lost son. Tony and Victor shared an emotional reunion.
Victor's wife, Dorian, became incredibly jealous and schemed to make the
two men enemies. Tony and Victor's battle escalated when Tony announced he
was building a "swinging singles" bar on the road that led to Llanfair.
Dorian did her best to come between father and son and eventually
convinced Victor to change his will, making her the primary beneficiary.

Tony, but at the same time, Tony was marrying Cathy.

Discovering
Dorian's hand in causing the rift in their relationship, Tony told his
father everything. Later, Victor confronted Dorian and the ensuing fight
ended with Victor suffering a stroke from which he never recovered. Victor
died under mysterious circumstances before being able to tell Viki the
depths of Dorian's treachery.
Tony received
nothing from his father's will and focused his attention on his marriage
to Cathy, who was battling mental illness. Following the kidnapping of his
nephew Kevin, Tony realized he could no longer be with his wife and once
again turned to Pat. Pat persuaded Tony to do the honorable thing and stay
with Cathy, who was doing well in therapy. Eventually, a healthy Cathy
gave Tony his freedom to be with Pat.

Pat decided
it was time to tell a teenaged Brian that Tony was his father. Stung by
the news, Brian ran out of the house and into the path of an oncoming car.
Brian was hit by the car and died instantly. The death of their son caused
an irreparable rift between Tony and Pat, and Tony ended up leaving
Llanview.
