1994 (#35) - Norman's demand for Katherine's inheritance and Rex's tragic death

Immediately after the wedding, on his way back from the honeymoon, Norman begins to put his criminal plan into action, informing an enraptured Esther of his desire to create his own family and, therefore, to ask Katherine for an advance on his inheritance in order to build a larger house. At this point it is Esther herself who begins to have doubts about Norman's cons, finding his request extravagant to say the least. After Esther's refusal to ask Katherine for such a thing, it is Norman himself who proposes to come forward. Arriving at Katherine's, already informed by Esther of Noman's bizarre idea, in order to convince her to endorse him a check, the man receives from the woman and from Rex the bitter truth: there has never been a marriage between him and Esther! Feeling framed, Norman runs away before the police officers Pete Connell and Michael Morgan can arrest him. No one, however, expects the tragic event that is about to hit them. Back to take revenge, in fact, Norman is caught by Gina robbing Katherine's safe; Norman pulls out his gun and starts shooting wildly, hitting Rex in the chest, who falls to the ground under Katherine's shocked eyes. The trip to the hospital, unfortunately, is useless, and Rex, after a few days of hanging on by a thread, dies next to a desperate and inconsolable Katherine. Norman's escape lasts for a while and he is soon arrested by Pete himself; little consolation for Katherine, who is consoled by everyone, especially Brock, who has returned on purpose, as well as Danny and Gina, orphaned of their father.
