Rick is the star of the soap opera Light of Our Love. His agent was originally Dwayne Powers, but he left him to get a better agent. Rick also dated Mattie Jensen and then Lillian Weiss at one point.
Stay Tuned for Danger
In 1999, Rick's costar Mattie Jensen asks Nancy to come stay at her apartment to investigate a series of threats Rick is receiving. They range from notes with cutout letters, to typewritten letters, to weird gifts and strange accidents. Rick himself is very conceited and not at all worried about the threats.
In the end, Nancy finds out that there were many culprits to this case. Rick was sending the first notes to himself out of vanity and signing them with "B. T. Kaisuur", an anagram of his real last name, Arbutuski. Lillian Weiss, the show's director, had sent him poisoned chocolates out of anger for him dumping her, and Dwayne Powers, his former agent, had done everything else, blaming Rick for his failed business and claiming that "everybody hates Rick".
