Save a Pimp!
This cannot stand. Spike is more than just Harmony's resident sleazeball and go-to person when you want a dirty deed done. Spike is the voice and conscience of the Passions viewer, providing the show with plenty of fourth-wall breaking commentary on how stupid the other characters and show situations are. He's also one of the few actors on the show capable of selling the funny. Let's do a quick rundown of what Spike has done for Harmony:
• Provided a bar for Harmony's underage partiers to get shitfaced
• Pimped out former goody-goody and Marc Cosmetics saleswoman Jessica Bennet after getting her hooked on pills
• Married said Jessica to prevent her from testifying against him in court
• Knocked up said Jessica in order to sell her baby on the black market! ("...twice as much if the eyes stay blue!")
• Murdered many of Jessica's johns behind her back, then made her think she did it
• Provided many Harmony locals with the muscle they needed to get their dirty deeds done (Alistair, Julian, even Sheridan)
• Shot show matriarch Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald in an attempt to finally give her character a storyline (quickly abandoned/never resolved)
• Involved in countless fistfights with Noah Bennet, Ethan Winthrop, Sam Bennet, Chris Boothe, yet never won a single one.
Look, just Save Spike!
