In 1998, a reformed Drew, freshly graduated from the police academy, returns to Llanview to repair his broken relationship with his father, and is hired by Bo as an officer for the Llanview Police Department.

Charles "Charlie" Briggs is a fictional character on the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. The role was played by actor Robert J. Hogan from 1995 until 1998, reappearing in 2000.

Reverend Andrew Carpenter is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. The role was played by Wortham Krimmer from October 1991 until March 1, 2010. In 1999, Krimmer was downgraded to recurring status.[3]

Andrew Carpenter first appears in Llanview to take over St. James, an Episcopalian church, in October 1991. He meets and quickly fall in love with ailing Megan Harrison and helps find her husband Jake Harrison before she dies from lupus. Andrew begins dating Cassie Callison. Around the same time he begins counseling Llanview University party girl Marty Saybrooke.

Andrew's father Sloan arrives in town, first appearing in 1992. He is a widower and a retired four-star general turned author. Sloan had another son William, who had died of AIDS several years earlier. Sloan and William were estranged because of William's homosexuality. His relationship with Andrew, because of his contempt of William, is also strained. While writing a biography of deceased millionaire publisher Victor Lord, Sloan meets and becomes involved with Victor's daughter Victoria Lord and makes an enemy in Dorian, who is furious that Sloan's book hinted that her implicit negligence killed Victor.

Marty develops a crush on Andrew and aggressively tries to seduce him. Andrew rejects her and she decides to get back at him by accusing him of being a pedophile. In a storyline that predated the real-life Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, Marty tells the parents of closeted teenager Billy Douglas (who Andrew was counseling) that she saw him seduce Billy.[4] Llanview is torn apart by the accusation. Andrew is vindicated, but he does not disclose whether or not he is gay which leads to further controversy. He becomes the target of hate crimes and members of his congregation demand he be ousted.

Andrew carries on and preaches love and tolerance. He brings the AIDS quilt project to Llanview, coinciding with a large donation to the project by ABC in order to show the quilt on-air.[4][5] At the quilt ceremony, Billy publicly comes out as gay, a groundbreaking plot turn as gay characters were rarely seen at the time.[6] The crisis serves to bring Andrew and Sloan to reconciliation and for Sloan to finally accept William's sexuality.

Executive Producer at the time Linda Gottlieb explained to Entertainment Weekly, "Some people will be alienated; we'll get vicious mail. But I hope that by seeing a young gay boy, getting to like him, and sympathize with his pain, audiences will understand the hurt that awful jokes, dumb remarks, and exclusionary behavior can cause. We have an hour every day — what better place to explore this than daytime?"[6] In the same interview, newcomer at the time Phillippe stated it was "the first time ever that I didn't have to force tears. My voice went all quivery and they just flowed out of me."[6] The story arc proved to be well received when it won the series' first GLAAD Award for Best Daytime Drama.[4] Neil Tadken credited the storyline as his inspiration for creating the Day of Compassion, an annual day all participating soap operas mentioned HIV or AIDS.[5]

Andrew and Cassie marry and find out they are pregnant shortly after the wedding. Tragically, the baby dies at birth and Cassie is left unable to have children. Cassie finds an abandoned baby boy and brings him home. They name him William and plan to adopt him. The birth mother is revealed to be a teenager named Beth Garvey and she demands the baby back. The Carpenters are heartbroken to lose him. After Beth dies, Andrew and Cassie adopt the baby who is now named River.

Andrew grows close with Marty again and soon realizes he has developed reciprocal feelings for her. The pair come dangerously close to sleeping together, but they stop when they realize what it will do Cassie. Sloan becomes seriously ill and Andrew officiates his wedding to Vicki while he is hospitalized. Sloan sadly dies soon afterward.

For a short spell, the Carpenters enjoy a nice, quiet life. Cassie works as a journalist at The Banner and Andrew continues his work as a reverend. In 1997, Cassie and Andrew split up after Cassie cuckolds him with Kevin Buchanan. Cassie goes on to marry Kevin before departing Llanview in 1999.

Reverend Carpenter progressively appears infrequently in every year of the 2000s, primarily serving as minister for town religious functions. In 2009, he last officiates the marriage of his stepmother Viki to Charlie Banks, and is last shown in 2010.

Blair Daimler comes to Llanview in 1991 with a secret — she is the daughter of Dorian's older sister Addie Cramer. Mentally ill and institutionalized for years, Addie is now hidden in Blair's loft. Blair blames Dorian for her mother's illness and her own childhood in foster care; Blair is apparently the result of Addie's rape at the hands of an unknown man in the sanitarium. Seeking revenge, Blair tries to ruin Dorian by getting her aunt's signature on a document confessing to the murder of her husband Victor Lord in 1976. Blair then plots to marry Asa Buchanan to gain the financial security and power she needs to care for her mother and destroy Dorian. It is revealed that Dorian had been told that Addie had died by their parents, who had institutionalized her. Blair and Dorian reconcile, and Dorian is tearfully reunited with sister Addie, who calls her "Dori." Sweet but simple-minded Addie is placed in St. Ann's sanitarium for full-time care, but is visited often by her family.[7]

Addie surprises the Cramers on December 24, 2007 when she appears at Dorian's home La Boulaie. Apparently "recovered" due to a new medication, Addie is anxious to make up for lost time. [7][8] She sets things straight with on-again, off-again son-in-law Todd Manning and flirts with Dorian's new friend Charlie Banks. While at Roxy Balsom's beauty salon, Addie seems to recognize Miles Laurence, whom she's never met; they commiserate on the fact that they have both spent most of their lives in hospitals. On February 5, 2008, Addie is relieved by her assessment that Dorian is no longer a "Viki wanna-be," reminding Dorian of her persistent use of the Lord name, "running a newspaper like hers, naming your house," and shared romantic partners — as well as Dorian's romance with Viki's son Joey. "And I thought you weren't paying attention," notes a flabbergasted Dorian.

On June 18, 2008, the extroverted Addie reveals that she has married Dorian's ex-husband David Vickers, but her torrid "friends with benefits" relationship with David comes to a swift end when she realizes he still carries a torch for Dorian; they part amicably.[7]

With Dorian's departure in August 2011, Addie becomes the matriarch of the Cramer family in Llanview.

Though Todd begins to have feelings for her as well, he escapes to seek revenge on his enemies. A fugitive Todd and a captive Marty are surrounded in 1994; Rebecca talks her way inside in exchange for Marty. Todd escapes with Rebecca as a willing hostage, and she tries to persuade him to turn himself in. Surrounded again, Todd lets Rebecca go and flees; he is shot and presumed dead.

Meanwhile, Todd reappears alive and hides out in the gardener's shed at Llanfair, where Rebecca is an occasional babysitter, and Todd makes his presence known to her. Rebecca and Powell become engaged as a serial rapist begins terrorizing Llanview. Todd is suspected but it is ultimately revealed that Powell, threatened by Rebecca's attraction to Todd, had descended into madness and been raping women to emulate Todd and thereby win Rebecca's love. Powell is caught and institutionalized, and Rebecca leaves town.[17]

In 2009, former Llanview police detective John McBain is investigating a serial murderer who leaves clues pointing to Marty's 1993 rape. A visit to Powell, not lucid and still in a sanitarium, seems fruitless until John stumbles upon Rebecca's name and learns that a "Dr. Marty Saybrooke" has been visiting and treating Powell.

Clayton-Powell "Powell" Lord III, the grandson of Victor Lord's brother Clayton-Powell, is one of several Llanview University students who participates in the 1993 gang rape of Marty Saybrooke. Viki's son Kevin is also implicated but ultimately exonerated; the rape had been led by Todd Manning, and a guilty Powell had participated due to peer pressure. Powell receives a lesser sentence and later fall in love with Rebecca Lewis, who herself had seen a softer side in the imprisoned Todd and fell in love with him. A subsequent series of rapes is initially blamed on Todd, but it is revealed that Powell is the culprit, believing that he could win Rebecca's love if he became a rapist like Todd.

After being institutionalized after the rape of Marty Saybrooke, Powell bought the old fraternity house where Todd and Powell and friend Zach Rosen committed the crime that would haunt Powell. Clearly driven mad, he went to great lengths to put Kevin's room back together exactly as it was the night of the rape (right down to the fish in the tank). He and Rebecca Lewis arranged for Todd (in reality was Todd's twin Victor Lord Jr.), Tea Delgado, Blair Kramer, and Marty Saybrooke kidnapped, holding Victor "Todd" bound to the bed, threatening to kill him and Blair and Marty, as his way of atoning for his part in Marty's rape. Powell, clad in the same Frat sweater he wore the night of his crime against Marty, left Marty and "Todd" alone in the room and forced Blair and Tea to the basement at gunpoint and kept them captive in the utility room, which was leaking gas, poisoning the two women.

Rebecca later brought to Powell's attention that Chloe Brennan (Powell and Todd's mutual relative Jessica Buchanan's daughter) was in fact Todd's and Marty's granddaughter, Hope Thornhart. Powell tricked Victor into believing that he would let them go to raise Hope, but was ready to kill "Todd" at that moment. Victor goaded the cowardly cousin to do what he was threatening to do, only to be shot to death by John McBain. The basement exploded when Rebecca lit a match, but Tea, Blair, Marty, Victor, and Hope made it out alive with the help of John McBain, putting to rest the saga of insane Powell Lord III for good, along with the rape, leaving only a future with new grandchild/niece, Hope.

During that time, Max tells Luna that nothing romantic can happen between them. Luna starts her own radio show called "Love Line." In that time, she begins receiving poems and love letters from a guy named Suede Pruitt. Suede escapes from prison and makes his way to see Luna and ask for her help. He tells her he is innocent, so Luna consults the Goddess, who tells her he is telling the truth. Suede is accused of murdering his wife, Deborah, who looks like Luna. Suede tells Luna that Deborah's father, Marcus, is the killer. Max, Luna and Suede plan to set Marcus up to tell the truth. Max is shot and rushed to the hospital; Luna has to go into a trance to save him. After she saves him, he professes his love to her.

Luna returns several times over the years as a spirit. She appears to Max after his son Al dies. Al's spirit begs Luna for a way to get back to Earth so that he can be with Marcie, the love of his life. She tried to help Al adjust to being dead, but then got the idea that he can return in another man's body so he can be with Marcie. This would be tricky as the rules stated that Al couldn't tell Marcie who he was really, and that he only had three months to get Marcie to fall for the new "Al". When Dr. Michael McBain collapsed from near-death allergy to a medicine he accidentally took, Marcie resuscitated him and Al's spirit replaced Michael's dead spirit. She then reappeared in 2013 with Gabrielle Medina and Megan Gordon to help guide the people they loved to the afterlife. She appears to Cole Thornhart after he is shot by Hannah O'Connor.

A Cristian lookalike with no memory of his past appears in Llanview in 2004, secretly programmed by Manuel's son Tico Santi to kill Antonio — who is secretly Manuel's eldest son and heir. Carlotta is forced to admit that Antonio is actually Manuel's son with Isabella/Angelina; the attempt to murder Antonio fails as the trauma of trying to kill his own brother brings Cristian's memories flooding back. After killing Tico and being sent to prison in 2005, Cristian keeps his true identity hidden from his family. Later in 2005, Cristian's sentence is overturned; he is released from jail and reveals himself to his overjoyed mother.
