Reception The introduction of Jameson Parker was met with fanfare by fans enamored with the actor's good looks and easygoing portrayal. When Brad physically abused Jenny (Glass) onscreen in 1978, a group of angry viewers, unable to differentiate between the actor and character, left a note at the OLTL New York City studios threatening violence if Parker did not "leave Jenny alone". The onscreen October 1979 rape storyline of ex-hooker Karen (Light) by brother-in-law Brad (Fletcher) was highly controversial, garnering acclaim and criticism for OLTL and ABC Daytime for the frank nature of the story arc and moral implications of the sexual assault of a former prostitute.
