ABOUT:

Fletcher was best known for being an ace reporter, but he also fell madly in love with women. When he cared about someone, he loved them with all of his being.

Fletcher came on the scene during the infamous ‘Dreaming Death’ storyline in 1983. He had two daughters. One, Rebecca, died many years ago. He was devastated and vowed to never go through that pain again. Perhaps that is why, after the birth of his second daughter, he fled town.

He returned to town years later and connected with Alexandra Spaulding.  She had just lost her brother, Alan. They decided to tour Europe together.
