Fate of Jordan Roberts and Greg Reardon


Did we ever find out the fate of Jordan Roberts (Morgan Fairchild) and Greg Reardon (Simon MacCorkindale)? Last seen there was the earthquake and Jeff Wainwright (Edward Albert) was holding a gun on them. Did he kill them or did they get away? I was so young when it aired I don't remember if it was ever solved.

Yes, it was mentioned. In the season 6 premiere, Angela said that Reardon and Jordan escaped Wainwright and moved to Boston. Reportedly, Jane Wyman had Simon MacCorkindale (Reardon) fired for some reason.

I don't believe that, I think it was more likely budget cuts- by that season 5 cliffhanger, Jordan and Greg were out of town, Terry was killed off, and then Cole left after a handful of episodes at the beginning of season 6. More likely, the show needed to get rid of some expensive actors to make room for new characters that were coming on, such as Vicki, Skylar, Meredith, Dan, and even Stavros and Eric, who were moved up to full-time cast members.
