They say that good help is hard to find, but is that the case in soaps? Here, we give you the dirt on some of daytime's most notable domestic workers. Do they spend more time gossiping about their employers' dirty laundry than rinsing it? Or is their record spotless? We'll also come clean about some of their counterparts in prime-time and movies. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more interesting group... so read on.
Employer: Gregory Richards
Areas of Responsibility: Although originally hired to chauffeur Olivia around town, Tim's duties were quickly expanded by Gregory. Before he was rendered unable to speak by a murderous Derek, Tim was responsible for keeping tabs on Caitlin, spying on Olivia and discreetly handling any miscellaneous dirty deed Gregory needed done.
Evaluation Station: Tim was certainly an eager beaver when it came to trying to please Gregory, and if deviousness counts for anything, he'd be employee of the year. Unfortunately, Tim had to take a leave of absence from his duties after he tumbled off a scaffold several months ago. After all, treachery is tough when you're laid up in the hospital, unable to talk or move.
References At The Ready? At this point, Tim could most assuredly
blackmail a glowing reference from his boss. Of course, Tim did effectively ingratiate himself to Caitlin while acting as her chauffeur (remember their lip-lock?), so we're sure she'd be more than happy to give him a nifty reference.
Working World: One chauffeur decidedly less devious than Tim is Hoke (Morgan Freeman), the dedicated man responsible for Driving Miss Daisy in the 1989 Oscar winner. Hired to drive the initially cantankerous Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy), Hoke's relationship with his back-seat driver went the distance, turning into a beautiful and enduring friendship.
