Actually, yes, I do remember this! If I'm not mistaken (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), but the thug's name was Nick Dinatos (played by Jeff Gendleman). I believe this was during the time that Trisha was involved with (may have been married to, at this point) Steve Sowalsky. I think this storyline also involved Gwynneth's long lost son with Clay, Rick Alden. I think Nick was trying to separate Trisha from her family (for her money, I believe---gosh, this was a long time ago) and was secret slipping her drugs in order to get her hooked. In the end, I think Nick would up murdered (?) and it turned into a big whodoneit. I was watching Loving during this period, but only sporadicly. Loving devotees, help me out!
