Next Week: Diane's "bluff" could backfire on her. Phyllis reassured Michael she Sam Behrens is having a great time playing Gregory Richards, the shrewd, calculating lawyer on "Sunset Beach." Some of us might see Gregory as tilting toward villainy. Consider, for example, his plot to tell his pregnant daughter, Caitlin, (Vanessa Dorman) that her baby died at birth so he and his wife, Olivia, (Lesley-Anne Down) can raise the child as their own. Or, what about dispatching a hitman to "remove" Caitlin's lover, Cole St. John, (Eddie Cibrian) from her life? The Brooklyn-born Behrens says, "If I were Gregory, I would certainly disagree that I'm a villain.

I would recognize that all great men, such as myself, are often seen as evil or no good because they get what they set out to achieve. But just because I might, more often than not, use Machiavellian means to get what I want, that's still no reason for my family, or anyone else, to think any less of me. And, I would remind you, that what I do, I do for my family, although they may not always appreciate either my motives or the means by which I reach my objectives." Whatever image Gregory Richards, Esq. has of himself, the fact is, in recent years the legal profession has become a favorite whipping boy for all those who hold lawyers as responsible for everything that ails the country. "I know a great many lawyers," Behrens said, "and most of them are intensely interested in justice and in seeing that justice is done under the law.

Of course, the country likes to come down on the ACLU and on other lawyers who may be representing people or causes they disagree with. But," Behrens went on, "we would be in a very bad position in this country if Sam Behrens Gregory on 'SB' it weren't for people who work hard to protect our rights as Americans. "When we criticize lawyers for getting accused criminals off, we sometimes forget that under our system, while 12 guilty people might get away with committing a crime, it's better than convicting one innocent person." Sam Behrens started his career in theater and went on to do films, and play major characters in such shows as "Knots Landing," "Ryan's Hope," "Home Front," and "General Hospital." (He was supposed to do just a five-day stint as Jake Meyer on "GH," but was so popular with the audience, his role was expanded and he stayed with the show for several years.) We talked about "Home Front" for a while. The show, which had been so popular with so many people, had been canceled for low ratings. "It's unfortunate that networks don't stay with their quality shows long enough for them to attract the audience that's out there and will find them in time," Sam said.

"'Cheers' and 'Hill Street Blues' were almost cancelled in their first season because of low ratings. Even 'Seinfeld' almost ended after one season because it was a slow starter. I really feel if they had given 'Home Front' a little more time, it would have found its.
