father Cardinal John Malone. Fletcher adopted Kyle's son with Maeve, Ben, and then married her, only to have Maeve die in a helicopter crash. Long also began writing the dramatic story of Josh's wife, psychiatrist Soni Carerra (played by Michelle Forbes), and her alternate personality Solita. The story featured a strong performance by Forbes, although the 1988 writers' strike caused the plot to go wildly off course. Sonni would also get involved for a while with Alan. Long plotted a storyline (before the writer's strike) where Phillip tried to use many people in Springfield (including Reva, Henry, Alexandra and Alan-Michael) to oust Alan as President of Spaulding Enterprises (this story was reminiscent of many of the real-life business scandals taking place at the time; this was also Christopher Bernau's last huge storyline before his departure).
