MICHAEL FAIRMAN

Character Sketch

Then disaster struck. In order to stay out of jail, Sonny married Lily Rivera. The vulnerable, lady-like, Lily awakened Harry's paternal instincts. His loyalty shifted to her. When he believed Sonny was leaving Lily for the persistent Brenda, he called Lily's father, Senor Rivera. But Rivera's hit on Sonny, went terribly wrong, killing Lily and her unborn child. Harry was deeply remorseful and begged Sonny's forgiveness. Sonny would not grant it, but did let him leave with his life.

Alas, that was not the last we saw of Harry. Stewing over Lily's death and his own guilt, Harry went not so quietly mad, plotting revenge against Sonny and Brenda. He sent some pictures of Lily to Brenda. Later he kidnapped Sonny and Brenda and threatened to kill them in an underground tunnel. They killed him with a rock and then made love near his stiffening body.
