Storylines
Brian Scofield was the elder son of Vern Scofield. Brian was a detective with the Salem P.D. and his first case was the murder of Emilio Ramirez. Brian eventually broke off his engagement with Madeline Armstrong when he fell in love with Melissa Anderson Jannings.
In 1991, Brian found himself investigating Nick Corelli's murder as well. Brian & Melissa, Eve & Frankie, and Jack & Jen boarded a theme train on which Johnny Corelli had stashed the weapon that was used to kill his brother Nick. When they found the weapon, Johnny detached the car they were in and it rolled down a mountain pass and derailed into a cold forest. The couples split up and all tried to find their way out of the valley they found themselves trapped in. Eve eventually split away from Frankie and met up with a young woman named Molly Brinker. Molly drew Eve a map and Eve lead the party to a safe location and took the credit on her own. A helicopter retrieved the stranded Salemites, but Eve was seriously injured when she fell from the helicopter ladder. She lived and was treated like a star in Salem until Molly showed up and pushed Eve off of her heroine pedestal.
Later, Melissa confessed to Brian that she had pushed Emilio out of the Alamain window to his death. Melissa was not charged because it was in self defense, but Brian couldn't trust her any longer and they broke up. Melissa eventually left town.
Brian became involved with Ginger Dawson and eventually left Salem with her, her daughter Molly, and Molly's boyfriend Tanner Scofield.
