Unfortunately, the next year Tania died after being struck by a car.
The role of BJ was played by child actressBrighton Hertfordfrom 1986 to 1994.
Though she was rushed to the hospital, it was soon clear that the little girl was brain-dead.
Tony told Bobbie, “You know what massive brain damage means.
He went on to say, “BJ is dead.
We don’t have time to debate this …
Accept it before another little girl dies.”
Eventually, Bobbie agreed to the transplant, andBJ’s heart was given to Maxie in a shocking twist.
Maule spoke toTV Insiderabout what that scene meant to him.
It was a significant moment in my life.
I saw what happens to a family from a vantage point of a little kid watching his parents grieve.
So, that’s where a lot of the reality came from that people saw.”
