Different Strangers

Different Strangers is an American black-comedy drama television series created by Lenny Guzzman that aired on WBN from September 2, 1977, to April 2, 1983. Different Strangers was on Network/Warner from October 1, 1983 to April 25, 1998. and it is on StoogeWB since August 22, 1998. Brian Roberts (Michael Mezed) was initially a short-term villain, but his popularity with the audience and critics inspired the writers to forgo killing him or permanently sending him to prison, like most soap operas had done with rapists in the past. While keeping aspects of his personality dark or violent, they had Todd exhibit a conscience and compassion. They took steps to redeem him and made him an integral part of DF's canvas, despite Mezed's objections to a redemption storyline. With the use of literary techniques for the redemptive arc, the writers borrowed from nineteenth-century melodrama and Gothic traditions, and literature such as Frankenstein. Brian became the product of an affair between his father, Jim Roberts, and his mother, Irene Manning, which provided him a fortune and ties to other major characters.
