This is a wonderful idea, Midnite! And may I wish a happy Father's Day (and birthday) to my husband and all other Daddies on the list and relate to thos on the list!
1960s & 70s:
Roger - Was a terrible father at first, worthy of a bleeder valve removal, but he improved with time, fortunately.
Sam - Although an alcoholic, Sam raised Maggie from childhood after her mother's death, and she is not only a good, strong woman but a loving daughter, too. Sam did a great job despite his own problems.
Richard Garner - Seemed like a wonderful father, and Frank was certainly a chip off the old block. Vicki could have done worse--and did!
Dr. Lang (LOL) - Adam would have written DADDY DEAREST ABOUT HIM--and Barnabas--when he knew enough words!
Paul Stoddard - A terrible father, basically selling his own child to the Leviathans and letting Liz think she killed him all these years. He tried hard when he came back, but he's still an SOB in my book--yet Carolyn mourned his death.
Philip Todd - Not bad, considering he was foster father to a group of terror tots--and let's face it, Jeb was just plain BAD! But I liked Philip, and I think he'd have done a great job if he and Megan started from scratch with their own offspring.
1795:
Joshua - Too little, too late. He loved his kids but didn't show it until it was too late. Very sad man with kids who felt unloved.
Reverend Trask - He'd have planted the seed and gone on his merry way--horrible man, awful father! Yet Lamar wanted to avenge his disappearance!
Andre duPres - Loving if mostly absent father. Very practical man who seemed to feel love was rather silly.
1897:
Quentin - Loving but neglectful. Too obsessive about Jamison.
Edward Collins - Meant well, but too formal and fussy--not enough fun.
1970 P.T.:
Quentin Collins - Eh. Didn't much like this version of Quentin, too loud and unreasonable--and those clothes!!
Timothy Stokes - Sicko. God knows what he did with Angelique, his step-daughter!
1840:
Daniel Collins - He murdered his wife--how good a father could he have been?
Quentin Collins - He hit his wife when she said he wasn't Tad's father, and he seemed to love his son desperately.
Gabriel Collins - Another sicko, probably glad his kids were away at boarding school so he didn't have to see them--and I always wondered how he was able to father them, given his original, real injury.
Ben Stokes - a sweetheart adored by his granddaughter and probably his kids, too.
Mordecai Grimes - Meant well, but loud and obnoxious.
1841 P.T.:
Justin Collins - Hard to tell, since we only see him after he's been in the lottery room, but Melanie adored him and so did his wife, so he was undoubtedly a good man.
Bramwell Collins - He'd have been a wonderful father, I suspect, and would have given Catherine a nice big brood of babies.
Love, Robin
