Viki shocked Clint with the news that she was pregnant!

Clint went on trial and was convicted of the murder of Dr. Marcus Polk, Viki’s shrink. The murder was actually committed by one of Polk’s patients, a psychotic young woman named Tracy James. After Tracy developed a crush on Dr. Larry Wolek, the former psychiatric nurse-turned-patient murdered Larry’s wife, Laurel. Once again, Larry Wolek was a bereaved widower. When Tracy later escaped the mental hospital, she held Larry prisoner in her basement guarded by a ferocious Doberman named Illse. Tracy’s reign of terror came to an end when she and her pal “Stick” were killed in an explosion. Meanwhile, on the morning of their wedding, Viki delighted Clint with the incredible news that she was pregnant!

Unbeknownst to Tina, however, Cord was actually Clint’s son—the product of his affair twenty plus years earlier with Cord’s mother, Maria Vasquez-Roberts, when they were teens. Some twenty years later, Clint still knew nothing of his son, or of his father’s involvement in Maria’s disappearance.
