Journalist
at The
Santa Barbara Tribune, Dan's articles are published in the
people pages of the newspaper. Along with other journalists, Dan writes
about the facts and gestures of the city's personalities, and more
particularly about their sentimental topicality.
It
is in this capacity that he is invited by Robert Barr to the press
conference where he announces that he will move Capwell Enterprises to
Las Vegas.
In
search of a new scoop, he is also present in the hospital of the city,
after the hospitalization of Laura Asher, the district attorney's wife.
He questions Ethan right in front of Laura's room, to find out the
reasons for her hospitalization, but especially to find .out if their
marriage is not falling apart. He then attends Laura's little game : to
torment her husband, when she asks him if he comes home with her, or if
he plans to go to Gina's. Dan is thrilled; he has the proof he wants..
It
is still at the hospital that he attacks Ethan with questions, along
with other journalists, about the rumors of his infidelity.
While
Laura is hospitalized again, Ethan is forced to lie and categorically
deny, in front of the cameras, being in love with another woman.
Finally,
always looking for proof of the affair between Ethan and Gina, he comes
one day directly to the door of the Lockridge mansion. He
harasses Gina with questions about her relationship with the district
attorney and its repercussions on Laura's behavior. Even
if Gina shuts the door in his face, Dan does not feel defeated. He knows
that in Santa Barbara, other scoops await him...
