 Background
character, Dr. Toni Carlin represents in these first episodes the link between Joe Perkins and Kelly Capwell, of
who she is the best
friend. Toni knows Joe and Kelly since their schooling and she is using as
a good conscience by Kelly in these times of doubts.
Toni,
remained faithful to Joe in spite of his judgement at his return to
Santa Barbara, continues to treat him in the same way that if he had
never been condemned. Several time, she does not hesitate to try to open
Kelly's eyes. And progressively, she insinuates the doubt in Kelly's
mind, daring to tell her everything that each televiewer thinks.
Conscious of the feelings they always feel the one for the other, Toni
tries to reunite them again.
Moreover,
Toni warns Kelly against her new fiancé, Peter Flint,
because she knew to read in his game. It is her who cared for him after
his polo accident, which allowed her to spend time with him differently. Conscious that Peter
loves money, power and women, Toni cautions Kelly about what can await
her once married. As a faithful friend, after the intrusion of Joe in the
Capwell mansion, it is her who drives Cruz's car in order to help him to
leave with no
problem the Capwell mansion.
Thereafter,
Toni will disappear from the life of Kelly, without any
explanation. Her role of middlean between the two heroes will then
be replaced by Sally Taylor, a new common friend of Kelly and Joe's... It
would seem that both of them, to refind themselves, need a friendly hand which guides
them the one towards the other...
