[edit] Character

Tony, an Italian mechanic, was introduced as the boyfriend of Grace Turner (Josie Davis/Jennifer Gareis), and had a small role in the show until 1998, when he dumped Grace due to her obsession with Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow).

One day at Crimson Lights Coffee House, Tony met college student Megan Dennison (Ashley Jones). He took an instant liking to her and thought she was a welcome relief from the manipulative Grace. Tony and Megan began dating, much to the disapproval of Megan's father, Keith (Granville Van Dussen) and her sister, Tricia (Sabryn Genet). When Megan defiantly told Keith that she was going to keep seeing Tony despite what he thought, Tricia became unhealthily obsessed with breaking them up. Her efforts were futile.

On Tony and Megan's weding day, Megan became concerned when the groom didn't show up. Speeding to stop the wedding, Tricia had blindly ran Tony down in the Dennisons' driveway. Tony was rushed to hospital and married Megan moments before passing away.
