tried to shoot Ben with a gun he had bought—but accidentally shot and wounded Blake (with Elizabeth Keifer in a wheelchair for several months). Blake also falsely accused Ben of attempting to rape her, but her guilt got the better of her, and for some time Ross and Blake separated—although they had a daughter, Clarissa, in December 1999. Holly became an alcoholic after Roger and her husband Fletcher abandoned her, and as the "Nursery Rhyme Stalker" and was partly responsible for the death of the popular Jenna Bradshaw Cooper when Jeffrey Morgan came back to town and Holly let it slip that Jenna's youngest son, Rocky, was really Jeffrey's son and not Buzz', she then kidnapped the children of Springfield, with the help of her older brother, Ken who returned to town in September 1998 and left for parts unknown in February 1999. Holly mentioned in November 1999 that Ken was now living near his daughter Emily in San Diego. Holly and Ken's mother appeared back in Springfield from July 1995 to November 1996 leaving town for parts unknown later to be referenced to have returned to Switzerland. Holly's ex-Fletcher Reade also appeared back on the show briefly in 1999 after Holly was found to be the Nursery Rhyme Stalker. He left again with Meg for Toronto Canada. It was briefly referenced that Fletcher's sister Meredith Reade was also now living in Canada. Fletcher who was presumably contacted off-screen did not return for his adopted son Ben Reade's funeral in 2003. One of the more successful storylines in the late 1990s was the pairing of Danny Santos and Michelle Bauer. Danny came to town late in 1998 to find his brother Mick's killer. Originally Danny suspected Jesse, but Danny soon discovered that Michelle had killed Mick in self-defense. To protect her from his mother, mob boss Carmen Santos, Danny married Michelle, who at the time was still in love with Jesse. Carmen vowed to break up the marriage and seek revenge on Michelle for Mick's death. What started out as a marriage of convenience turned to love and Michelle and Danny renewed their wedding vows at Laurel Falls. Danny promised to leave the "family business" and start a life with Michelle. Carmen continued to try to break them up and find a way to punish Michelle, including framing her for the murder of Ben Warren. Annie Dutton returned to Springfield
