Just when things seemed to be looking up for our fine physician, into the mix bounces Ali McIntyre, or "Tigger" as many of her detractors have labeled her. She's a newly hired nurse, bright, perky, and utterly brazen when it comes to getting what she wants. And do you really have to ask what she wants? Mike Horton, of course! Mike first asked Ali out to the Pediatric Epilepsy Benefit held on New Year's Eve in 1997. She was a nice date, and he decided maybe she was just the thing to get his mind off of Carrie. Unfortunately, it was not quite as easy as that. . . (Carrie Genzel left the role in May and Lisa Linde took over.) The "new-and-improved" Ali made constant plays for Mike's affections, trying to take over Carrie's campaign to get Mike elected Chief of Staff at Salen University Hospital and getting Mike to take her out places like the Penthouse Grille. Meanwhile, she was fighting off advances from Craig Wesley, Mike's rival for the coveted position as head doctor. When Craig's scheming wife Nancy got wind of this, she decided to turn it to her advantage and use Ali to get Mike fired. Considering that intimate relationships between coworkers is frowned upon, and how eager Ali is to jump Mike, this may be easier than Nancy and Craig expected. Does Ali really have tender feelings for Mike? Questionable. Right now she's more intent on "landing" a doctor and climbing up the hospital's social ladder rather than getting to know Mike. He is a prize to her, a catch that she would not pass up in a million years. And all the while Mike is trying his best to feel something for Ali, Carrie can't help but fantasize that she's the one he's getting cozy with. . .

What bearing does The Tigger Effect have on the formation of B&H, Inc.?

As a result of Ali's rather obvious salivations over Mike, Carrie Brady may be feeling the first pangs of jealousy and heartache. Time will tell as Ali continues her machinations in an attempt to land the job of head nurse while shamelessly flirting with our darling doctor. Thank God Mike isn't interested in returning the sentiment!
