Dr. Reid Oliver has been in Oakdale for less than a week (or Oakhell as he calls it) and he's rubbing everyone the wrong way. After being blackmailed by Luke to fly up from Dallas, he grudgingly agreed to operate on Noah. Reid immediately had a problem with Luke (of course) and his arrogance rubbed Bob the wrong way. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to operate on Noah because Noah was going to need multiple surgeries and a long-term commitment. He tried to leave town but was arrested instead, thanks to Luke, and forced to stay in town and work for Bob.
