arrived did the character become truly malevolent. The meaner he got, the more popular he became with viewers. For a while, though, Roger seemed to be an upstanding citizen and even became involved with Peggy. Roger eventually even made Peggy see that it was time to have Johnny Fletcher declared legally dead. But during this time, in 1974, not everything was rosy for Peggy and Roger. Roger decided to open up a night club, The Metro, but borrowed heavily from loan sharks. Eventually he took back up with Holly, who he had been involved with off and on since his arrival on April 1, 1971. And Holly ended up bailing him out with the loan sharks (paying off the loan), after Roger was beaten-up and was afraid to go to Peggy. Holly and Roger ended up having an affair while she was married to Ed (who didn't know that he and Holly had never consummated their marriage, because he had been too drunk the night of their honeymoon and then too busy to be with her.) Holly, of course, found out she was pregnant with Chrissy and then lied to everyone that she was Ed's child (of course that would all come out after Chrissy needed a blood transfusion when she came down with hepatitis.) During all of this, Roger never told Peggy about the affair with Holly or about Chrissy. But out of a sense of guilt, not wanting to hurt Peggy or Billy, he told her anyway and then she told Ed! That is what led up to Ed and Holly's divorce. Peggy for a while kept her distance from Roger, but after Adam and Roger talked to her, she gave in and agreed to marry him with them marrying in the spring of 1976 with only Adam and Bert in attendance. Adam and Barbara's marriage though suffered through all of this, and they ended up getting a divorce when Barbara's "migraines" became too much and she blurted how angry she was at Roger and as to why (Chrissy's true parentage that Adam didn't know about up to that point.) During Rita Stapleton's trial and just before Roger made his last minute confession of their one-night stand in Waco, Roger found out that Jerry McFarren, who he had briefly hired at The Metro, had taken out his own loan against The Metro and needed to pay off loan
