Near the pivotal conclusion to the “Victoria Imprisonment”
storyline is Episode 125 has the ghost of Bill Malloy reappearing, not only to
a conflicted David who fears going to jail (he almost releases Vicky but his

The letter is Maggie's and she will have to give permission before Sam can get his hands on it. Malloy's death looms large and will not go away--especially as long as Burke steamrolls throughout Collins Port, pissed off and unrestrained. He wants to know Sam's connection to the wrongful conviction and isn't about to just forget his presence at the meeting that night. Maggie just cannot believe that her father had anything at all to do with Malloy's death; Sam and Malloy were fr...
