TOM HUGHES'S HISTORY
Thomas Christopher Hughes is the son of Bob and Lisa Hughes. His parents divorced when he was very young. Lisa, his mother, turned him against his father. She took him to LA to enter him in a military school. When his grandparents, Nancy and Chris, learned of this, Chris went with Bob to get him and all returned to Oakdale. Tom stayed with his father and eventually his love for the Hughes Family was restored. Ellen Lowell helped him understand his father was a doctor and his career kept him very busy, and that his father loved him very much.
Lisa sent him to a boarding school for a short period of time as a means to get back at Bob. Tom didn't want to go to the boarding school so he let his feelings be known. While on spring break, he learned that his younger brother, Chuckie, was really the son of Lisa and Michael Shey, who Tom despised. Tom became very obnoxious toward his father, mother and grandparents. His uncle, Donald, was the only one who Tom felt understood him. Tom became friends with Hank Barton from school, which got him hooked on drugs. Together, in search of drugs, they robbed the pharmacy belonging to Hank's father. Tom enlisted in the army, but soon after inflicting himself with a gun shot wound, he was released. Upon his recovery, Hank talked him into robbing Michael Shey's office to obtain more drugs. They attempted to rob Michael's office once again, but Michael, who was shot and killed, caught them. A witness saw Tom running from the scene and he was accused of Michael's murder. He met Carol Deming, who stuck by him thru the accusations and trial. Tom was found guilty. The murder was investigated further and Tom was found innocent and set free.
Tom studied law and went to work at a medical clinic for Dr. Paul Stewart. While working at the clinic, he met Meredith Harcourt. The relationship had some shadiness and soon she fell in love with Simon Gibney. She and Simon both left town together.
When Carol Deming came back into his life (she had been a friend since he came back from Vietnam), they fell in love and married. Soon after their marriage, both realized they were too young to be married and went their separate ways. In the meantime, Tom had met Natalie Bannon and the relationship blossomed into marriage. Natalie was keeping some dark secrets from Tom, and when he learned of her secrets, he divorced her. Tragedy struck Tom one night and he learned a very valuable lesson. Tom and Chuckie were involved in a motor vehicle accident in which Chuckie was killed - Tom was driving.
Tom met Margo Montgomery in 1981. She was helping Tom with an investigation. Margo entered the police academy and passed her final exams in 1982. After going through a horrible ordeal during an investigation, they discovered their love for each other. Tom and Margo were married on board a boat by the captain. They separated soon after but were remarried in a park in the fall of 1983. Soon after, Margo became pregnant but miscarried her baby. Margo was depressed over loosing her baby and turned away from Tom. She had an affair with Hal Munson in which she became pregnant and gave birth to their son, Adam. Tom forgave her and wanted to raise Adam as his son. Several years later, Margo became pregnant with Tom's baby, and they had a son, which they named Casey.
Tom was now District Attorney, Margo was a police officer, and their marriage was very stable. After they had been married for 15 years, Tom grew bored with his life and had an affair with Emily Stewart in which she became pregnant, giving birth to their son, Daniel. The same night Daniel was born, Margo miscarried Tom's baby. Through many trials and deeds that needed forgiveness, they forgave each other and renewed their wedding vows. Tom opened his law practice, but happiness was soon to end when Margo found out she was HIV positive from being raped years ago. Her sister Katie gave her part of her liver. The transplanted liver was successful and Margo made a full recovery. It also brought Katie and Margo even closer. Tom and Margo's marriage went through a lot of trials and hardships after that, but they seemed to always come back to the love they deeply share with each other.
In January 2007, Tom learned that his son, Daniel, had been kidnapped. The kidnapper was after Emily's part of the paper. When she refused to sell it to him, he came after Daniel. Emily got a call from Daniel stating that he was at his Grandma Susan's house. Emily rushed over to find Daniel tied to a chair. Tull, the man who kidnapped Daniel, grabbed Emily. In a struggle, he forced her to sign the papers. As she was signing, Dusty Donovan burst through the door and took Tull down. Daniel was safe. When Tom found out about the kidnapping, he was desperate to find his son. As he started his search, he fell to the floor. Margo called an ambulance to rush him to the hospital. Bob was there to see his son as he arrived. It was determined that Tom had a heart attack and needed surgery. After the surgery, Tom made a full recovery and was able to go home in a week. Tom had the support of his family more than ever. The kids all found themselves available to talk to dad, listen to music with him, and even to sit down and eat with him. Tom was so proud. Katie came up with an idea. She wanted to have Tom a 'Thank God Tom's Alive' party. Margo agreed and all Tom's friends and family joined him to celebrate the life of a dear, sweet man who everyone in Oakdale could call Friend.
Tom learned that Emily was dating Casey and tried to break them up. When he learned of Emily's call girl past, he decided to take full custody of Daniel but Casey convinced him not to do it.

Monday, November 24 2008: Casey Comes Clean!
Tom and Margo are getting Daniel settled at the house when Emily calls to check in. Daniel is excited to see her and invites her over; Tom approves but Margo thinks this is a bad idea because Casey is coming home soon. Tom says they can't keep Emily away from Daniel just because Casey and Emily broke things off. Emily arrives a few minutes later with video games for Daniel. He goes upstairs to play and Tom suggests that Emily leave so they can get ready for their family dinner. Emily and Margo exchange barbs about family; Casey arrives – with Alison! The sisters are shocked to see one another. Casey says he invited Alison because she's been helping him figure out his future. Daniel comes back downstairs; he asks if Emily can stay for dinner, too. "Oh, sure, the more the merrier," Margo says. Emily gets snarky with Alison about her job help. Casey finally comes clean and tells them he was expelled. Alison says there are other schools; Emily continues her snarky comments to her sister until Tom says they need time to talk. Emily takes Daniel upstairs but Allie stays with Casey. Allie asks them to listen to Casey because his heart was in the right place. They listen but neither understands Casey's actions. Margo and Alison go into the kitchen; Alison says Casey's heart really was in the right place and if they will stand by him now, he can get through this. She turns to go but Margo asks her to stay.
Outside the door, Tom gets quiet. Casey tells him to say anything but Tom isn't sure where to start. "You've been given one second chance after another and you just throw them away," he says angrily. Casey says he doesn't care what the future holds as long as he doesn't wind up a suit like Tom! Tom goes back inside and runs into Emily; he blames her for Casey! She says this has nothing to do with her. "His problems started way before he was with me," Emily says. Tom says seducing a kid isn't a plus; she storms out and runs into Casey. He asks why she cares about his education; she says she cares about him. "Why? Did Dusty dump you again?" Casey asks. Emily says she realizes she made a mistake – and kisses him! Alison sees them. She angrily says they are acting badly and turns to go back inside. Casey asks Emily to leave! She goes inside to get her things. Casey tells Alison that Emily started it but he doesn't know why – and he doesn't care why! Margo calls them to dinner. Tom resets the kitchen table because Kim and Bob have begged off from dinner because the soup kitchen is packed. Margo says Casey's actions weren't that bad when compared to the problems of the homeless. Emily says she isn't staying. Casey, Alison, Tom, Margo and Daniel sit down to dinner. Casey apologizes for going off on his dad. Tom and Margo offer prayers of thanks for their family. "As long as we've got each other, we have everything we need," Margo says and they eat. Emily watches through the window, crying.
Friday, November 07 2008: Spencer's Body Is Missing!
At the police station, Brad tells Tom he didn't kill Spencer and asks when the bail hearing will be. Tom goes to Margo but she says she won't let Brad out on bail because he is guilty. Tom says Margo isn't in charge; she says the judge will never let bail be set because of Brad's involvement in Henry and Katie's search of Spencer's room. Tom tells her not to tell the judge and she becomes livid. Jack arrives with Janet and convinces Margo to let him see Brad.
Jack goes into the interrogation room. Brad says he didn't kill Spencer and asks if Jack believes in him. Jack isn't sure what to say. He goes to the outer office and tells Janet to go in; Margo allows it. Jack asks Margo if he can look at the evidence but she immediately refuses. Tom backs up Jack. He and Margo argue. Dani interrupts to give her a copy of the coroner's report; Tom grabs for it. He says he wants to have his own medical examiner look at the body; Margo takes him to the morgue. Dani follows.
At the morgue, Tom asks if Margo wants Brad in jail. Margo says she doesn't but insists that Brad seems guilty. Dani interrupts their arguing by going inside; she calls out and they go inside. Spencer's body is gone! "Corpses don't disappear. Go find the body," Margo orders and Dani runs out.
Margo and Tom come back to the interrogation room. Margo asks Brad if he is responsible for Spencer's disappearing corpse. Brad is shocked. Dani barges in and says Spencer's body is nowhere in the building. Jack comes in and tells her that all of the other evidence against Brad has disappeared, too. Brad doesn't know anything. Tom says she has to release him now!
