| Rick's most significant storyline on Days was Scott's romance with Faith. Their first encounters were professional. He saw that she had singing talent and he helped her harness that talent so she could sing professionally. Soon, they were falling in love with each other. They left town together so he could attend medical school. |  |

Rick and Mindy Clarke {Faith} pose for a photo at one of the many DAYS events that they attended. Mindy's father is John Clarke who plays Mickey Horton, Scotty's Uncle. |
| The Horton family, circa 1990. There hadn't been this many Hortons in Salem for a number of years. |  |
 | Rick married his wife, Donna, in the summer of 1990. They've since had two boys, Nicholas and Cameron. |
| When Scotty first returned he was basically a jerk. He was in everything for the money. Eve Donovan {Charolette Ross} was his meal ticket. Eve worked as a singer at his Grandma Julie's Night Club "Wings." Scotty was trying to get Eve to let him promote her talent. |  |
 |
In a dream fantasy Eve and Scotty were paired together. On the show they were never an item. |
 | After leaving Days, Rick took over the role of Alan-Michael Spaulding on Guiding Light. He sported a much shorter hairdo as he played a more sophisticated character. |  |
 |
Rick had a lot more air time on GL then he ever did on DAYS. This also meant he was involved in more photo shoots for more magazines. |  |
 | Rick's leading lady during most of his time on GL was Melina Kanakeredes, who played his wife, Eleni. You will recognize Melina from the NBC drama Providence. |  |
