Collins, who played an easygoing pastor father on the long-running TV series, has hit rock bottom in wake of the stunning allegations, the Daily Mail online reports. His family fears he may hurt himself, according to a family friend. “His family by no means condone what he’s said to have done, but it doesn’t stop them worrying about him,” the pal told the website. “They fear he could take his own life. That’s how low he is right now. No one wants to leave him by himself.”
