You could root a big sucker off of one of the others.

Sooooo, I pulled the plant. 
It was really in there, so at least it had a good root structure! I carried it right out to the trash barrel for the morning pickup. Washed my hands, and headed back out to the garden.
The mister and I had to run to town today so I brought home 3 Husky Cherry plants. Before I planted the new plant, I decided to remove a large bit of the soil from the raised bed (about 2' round, by 1' deep) and replaced it with a different mixture of soil. I put one of the new Husky's in place of the plant I pulled, and put one on the other side of the bed as well where I'd pulled a few beets this evening.
I have another Husky growing in a large container that I planted earlier this spring, and it's doing great, so I'm hopeful about these new ones. I've never grown a Husky's before this year ... anyone have experience w/ them?
Reviews online suggest that they're flavorful, and a good producer. The older plant I have in the garden sure is a beauty!

I thought they were great!
However, they were very late to produce their crop of cherry tomatoes! That was here and they may be much quicker where there isn't the cool nights.
I never had such a late cherry and they are small, sturdy little plants. The fruit was delicious!

Oooooh, glad to hear you liked them...
Hopefully, the Texas summer isn't as blistering as it was last year, and I can get these babies to give me some 'maters!

If it was CMV (which was what I kind of suspected) you want to check all of your plants for aphids, not just the tomatoes. As a precaution, I would dust or spray. CMV, like any other plant virus, is systemic (lives throughout the entire plant) and is not treatable. It also has a wide range of plants that it can infect. Not wanting to scare you, just trying to arm you with information so you don't lose anything else.
