I don't remember all the details but I do remember he hid in Cricket's (she was Cricket then) wall and then raped her!.

She was going to marry her rapist!.!.!.!.!.YIKES!Www@Enter-QA@Com

================================
In 1991, Christine "Cricket" Romalotti went to work at a prestigious law firm, for hotshot lawyer Michael Baldwin!. The charming Baldwin took her under his wing, guiding and training her!. At first, Chris was appreciative - until he kissed her one day after a court victory!. When he suggested a more "friendly" relationship in exchange for her moving up in the hierarchy, she began making inquiries about sexual harassment!. The promotion disappeared, and Chris filed a sexual harassment suit!. She also learned he had done the same to several other women, including her neighbor, Hilary Lancaster!.
To make himself look better, Michael wooed and married his old flame Hilary!. However, he still had his eye on Chris, and when she and Danny Romalotti broke up, he asked her to accompany him on a business trip to LA!. Once there, he made advances toward her!. Chris (whose breakup with Danny was staged) caught his behavior on audio tape, he was fired, and Hilary left him!. He quickly got a job at another prestigious firm, but Christine went to the disciplinary committee, who agreed to hear a case against him!.
Michael wasn't going to go down without a fight!. He claimed Chris had entrapped him by continuing to work at the firm after leaving his office!. He paid off women to testify about how gentlemanly he was!. He had Danny's tea drugged and had photos of him with a woman taken, to show that Danny and Christine's marriage wasn't as happy as they claimed!. Later the woman named Rebecca was found dead in her apartment just after we saw Michael threatening her not to blackmail him!. But all was for naught, because Michael was found guilty of sexual harassment, and lost his job!.
Michael apologized to Christine, announcing his plans to leave town, but his real plans were much more sinister!. He bluffed his way into a now-absent Hilary's apartment, chiseling a tunnel in the wall between her apartment and Christine and Danny's (who was out of town performing)!. After finally getting through, he hid in the closet, waiting to attack!. Fortunately, as he did, Paul Williams - who had realized Michael's living arrangements - raced in and stopped him from attacking Chris, and was stabbed by Michael!. Michael was sent to jail, and even though he claimed insanity, stayed there for 4 years!.
In 1997, Michael was up for parole!. Despite Christine testifying that they had no way of knowing how he would behave when returned to a world with women, the board believed Michael had reformed, and freed him!. He couldn't get a job as a lawyer, and had to take a job as a paralegal!. The case involved a custody suit between Danny (with Chris acting as his attorney) and his unbalanced, fiery ex-wife, Phyllis!. Michael discovered just how fiery she was when they fell into bed together!.
Although Danny won sole custody, Michael was delighted by his return to the law!. He constantly asked and pleaded with Chris to help get him his law license back!. After he donated a kidney to Danny (who had been badly beaten and was near death) Christine agreed, speaking up for him at the hearing despite her doubts!. Michael got the license back, and Chris was his probation officer for a year!.
Michael immediately jumped into Diane Newman's case against husband Victor, who had divorced her for a quickie deathbed marriage to Nikki, a marriage that continued when she unexpectedly recovered!. Michael wasted no time in being a formidable foe to the ever-superior Victor, encouraging Diane to go for the jugular and booking her on a trashy talk show hosted by another of Victor's ex-wives Leanna!. But none of this endeared him to live-in love Phyllis, who was increasingly paranoid over his tight bond with Diane!. Finally, she had Michael kidnapped as punishment!. He initially believed it was Victor's doing, but when he learned Phyllis was responsible, he broke it off with her, although they are once again friends today!.
With Diane's case against Victor settled, Michael worked for Katherine Chancellor during her fight with Jill Abbott over the Chancellor mansion, and advised Jack and Brad on the perfect hostile takeover for Newman Enterprises!. Further into 1999, he represented Alice Johnson in her custody fight with Sharon and Nick Newman!. Again, he faced off with Chris!. Grace Turner got involved with Michael about this time, running into him several times at a bar, where they discussed her hatred of the Newmans and would banter and flirt!. At one such meeting Michael surprised Grace by presenting her with a picture he sketched of her, and enlisted her help in finding out if Alice would really rather be paid off than get custody of Cassie!. Grace realized they had a mutual evil streak, and gave him a quarter as retainer to become her lawyer!. During one of their meetings about the case Grace kissed Michael as a reward for his efforts, and they ended up having sex on Michael's desk!. One of the reasons Grace left town after the trial was that she felt betrayed when Michael won the custody case for Alice despite her efforts!.
Michael and Christine's relationship would continue to muddle as she accepted his advice and opinions, and finally agreed to go into practice with him!. As they worked on cases together, on establishing their firm, Michael listened to her marital problems, and found himself falling in love with her!.
In late 2000, when Christine's marriage to Paul continued to worsen (due to his insistence on wanting a baby), Chris went to Hong Kong to work on a case which was drawn out for many months, always finding excuses for not staying in touch!. Christine was offered a case in Australia when the Hong Kong case was finished, but she turned it down and was determined to go home to Genoa City and try to mend her shattered marriage!. She arrived at the apartment only to find Paul in the arms of his new client Isabella!. Without a word to Paul, she accepted the case in Australia and filed for divorce!.
Isabella didn't want to tell Paul that she was pregnant because she felt that he was too hung up on Chris, so she had a brief affair with Michael and told him that he was the father!. Michael was outraged at first, even drew up legal papers for her sign!. But Isabella has something on Michael from the past, so he backed down and went along with her demands of rent, baby furniture, and everything she needed to live until the baby was born!. Michael also arranged for a job for her in another town for afterward!. Just as Michael was softening to the idea of a child and a future with Isabella, and Paul was getting involved with former wife Lauren Fenmore, Paul found out about the baby's paternity and wanted to be a father to the child!. With this major lie Isabella fell out of grace with both Michael and Mary!. Isabella and Paul's baby boy, Ricardo Carl Williams, was born!.
Michael was approached by Diane Jenkins to represent her in a custody dispute against Jack Abbott over her child Kyle!. Michael was torn between his long time friend and former lover Phyllis, (now married to Jack), and loyalty to newer friend and former client Diane!. Although Diane retaining custody of Kyle was what both women wanted, Michael decided to only advise her and brought in female attorney friend Sydney to handle the case!. Phyllis was keeping up a front of loyalty to Jack because she loved him so, but she didn't want Diane or "her kid" in their lives forever!. So in a last ditch effort to win, Michael took over when Phyllis got on the stand!. In his masterful way, he browbeat Phyllis about her real feelings and her son Daniel who was taken away from her as a toddler, until she broke down!. Diane won custody, and Phyllis was ready to hate Michael for what he did to her!. Michael convinced Phyllis he did it for her own good!.
Christine spent long hours working with Michael Baldwin and they became closer, sharing dinners and their feelings together!. They finally broached the subject of their past, and although Chris agrees Michael is a changed man, it still haunts her!. That and her still lingering feelings for Paul made it rough on Michael!. But Christine decided to put the past behind her and accepted Michael's marriage proposal!. Paul invited Isabella's estranged father Ricardo to Ricky's Christening, and they happily reunited!. Michael showed up, asked Ricardo not to mention they knew each other or Isabella's past, then announced his engagement to Chris, much to Paul's rage! Paul attacked Michael, who left with a black eye!. Later Paul showed up at Chris's apartment and forced himself on her!. At one point she reciprocated, cut to commercial, then we see Paul leaving a devastated-looking Christine, saying he was sorry about everything!. Was it rape!? Or was it two people who love each other, but have screwed up their lives to the point where they cannot be together!? The next morning Christine disappeared, leaving both Michael and Paul wondering!. Chris was gone for months when the guilt got to Paul, and he told Isabella that he and Chris had sex that night!. Isabella left him, only returning occasionally to see Ricky!.
Chris returned in disguise as the dark-haired mysterious Kelly Simmons bent on getting the goods on Isabella!. Paul saw through Chris' disguise, and they came to an understanding about the "rape", but Paul chose Isabella and his son!. Paul took Ricky to Isabella's parents in Los Angeles, leaving her to finish packing for their move there!. Just before their marriage, Michael confessed to Chris that he set up Isabella to meet Paul so they would split for good and he could have Christine!. But Chris exploded, walked out on Michael, and flew to LA to tell Paul the whole story!. She found Paul camping on a beach, told him the truth, and they ended up making love!.
