    Mr Roark more hands on

    Many times during Season 2, Mr Roark is rather hands off during a Fantasy. He will show up occasionally during a person's Fantasy. In the segment with the guy who played "Al" on Happy Days we see a new facet to Mr Roark. Instead of being hands off he actually is seen CAUSING things to happen. This is a interesting development in Mr Roark's character portrayal. Worth watching!!
