The End of Newman's POV...at last!!!

Why is it that the villain has to tell everything?!



Yes! I did try to help Trent get rid of Reg in the beginning. Trent and I both had him blacklisted.
We thought that if he couldn’t find an acting job, he might not hold Helen’s interest.
I also provided Trent the name of one of my best detectives.
Of course my man showed me his findings first and allowed me to remove details that would incriminate me.
I personally went along to the Kitty Kat Lounge and paid those girls to come on to Reg.
(No, Trent didn’t know I added that embellishment. He wouldn’t have gone along with it.)
I have to admit those pictures turned out really good.
Reg was actually stunned that the Kitty Kats made such a fuss over him that night.
He returned a few hugs and kisses, but kept harping on the fact he had a girlfriend.
Also having Trent hire the detective wouldn’t make me look like the bad guy.
I couldn’t wait for Trent to show Helen’s parents what he found.
I often wonder what Remy would do if he found out Trent and I worked together on this little project.


When it looked like Reg and Helen were going to marry even after our combined efforts to stop them,
I decided the best thing I could do was to befriend Reg again.
It was easy getting Reg to trust me. He’s so hungry for a father figure.
It was also a blessing that Helen didn’t have her child. She needs to put her career first.
Any woman can have a raise a family, but Helen has a destiny to fulfill.
Oh, spare your guilt trip, Mary!
I always think of the bigger picture. That’s what you and all the others just can’t understand!


It was when Reg started playing that damned pink gorilla, that I started to feel I was losing him.
My methods and side business must have started to look sleazy next to Trent’s squeaky clean image.
I thought it was time to expose Trent as the two faced liar he truly is.
Crashing Reg’s party was such fun.
It was truly glorious to see the look on Trent’s face when I confronted him in front of everyone.
Remy’s expression was truly priceless.
I almost felt sorry for Trent.


Trent and Reg were so easy for me to manipulate...What?
Why are you doing this, Mary? Why can’t you ever be on my side, just once?
Your right Reg has been loyal to me...more or less.
I did everything I promised I would.
I made Reg an equal partner where Helen’s career is concerned.
I even put him above my own son. I have been a father to him.
Stop it!
I can’t afford to have friends in this business.
Reg isn’t my equal in any respect. He’s trash!
He’s certainly not worthy of Helen.
I can’t help it, Mary.
I’m lonely. I’m weary of one night stands.
Yes, In the beginning I went after Helen because she reminded me so much of you.
This time it’s truly different....I think I’m falling in love.
Perhaps, some day I can pull all these pictures down from the wall and put the past behind me.
Maybe then I will be truly free from your memory.


This time I want to do things differently.
I intend to keep Helen pure.
She will never know about my side businesses.
Maybe this time, I’ll do things right.


Stop it, Mary!
I’ve decided I won’t kill Reg. He’ll lose Helen by his own weakness and stupidity.
I can’t allow myself to feel pity for him.
Stop telling me I can fix things! I do love Helen! I feel nothing for Reg!
I will promise you not to harm Deppiesse, the man frightens me worse than Edward ever did.
There’s times I feel he can see right through me...He’s the only one that’s ever questioned me about Edward and Elaine’s deaths...I’ll have to keep on my toes.
The man is incredibly sharp when it comes to reading people.
When he sees what a good husband I will be to his daughter, he may eventually come around and accept me like he has Reg.
I’m also fortunate that none of my former associates are still living.
I sealed the last link to my past when I killed Sue.


As for Lanie, I just wish she was ours.
I would have Remington in court in a heartbeat.
As a rule I don’t like children under foot, but I’d make an exception in this case.
I keep going back in my mind about when we were together last...
Oh, call it what you will!
If you didn’t want it on some level you wouldn’t have kept it secret all these years!
It was only that one time. I did the math and .....’
