Asa and Alex's wedding had an Egyptian theme.

Asa stunned the people of Llanview upon announcing that he planned to make Alex Olanov his wife. The two later tied the knot in an outrageously decadent Egyptian themed ceremony held in New York's Central Park.

Hank Gannon's no-good brother RJ showed up in Llanview. Max Holden recognized RJ Gannon instantly. RJ was the very same loan shark (calling himself Jimmy Glover at the time) who made Max's life miserable when he was slow in paying back money in Atlantic City. RJ was an ex-con who served time for assault. His brother's wife, Nora, represented him and lost the case. RJ had held a grudge against both Nora and his goody-good brother ever since and now, it was payback time!

RJ tried to destroy Hank's career and reputation by producing a tampered videotape from Hank's college days that showed him standing by as a murder was committed. First RJ attempted to blackmail Hank with the doctored video, then tried to seduce Hank's fiancee, Sheila Price, in exchange for the tape.
