He was writing AW in 1970 and even wrote Somerset at the same time when the show premiered.

It was on Search For Tomorrow. Jennifer was played by Morgan Fairchild and it happened in July 1975.

Thanks a lot for your memories ! If only we could see the episodes we would know.

From what I saw by going through quickly my issues, Mark was our in January 1976, Lance arrived during fall 1975. I was also surprised to see that Jennifer Leak came back as Gwen in the early months of 1976 before she was signed to play Olive on AW.

AUGUST 1975 All My Children Written by : Agnes Nixon Produced by : Bud Kloss On his way home from a convention in New York, Chuck Tyler had the presence of mind to pull off the road when he experienced dizziness, fever and headache. When the highway patrol discovered him, he was unconscious. Their call to his wife Tara, and the subsequent diagnosis of kidney failure complicated by pneumonia, caused Tara and Phil Brent to postpone their plans to marry and make a home for their son, little Philip – Little Philip was legally Chuck and Tara’s son, conceived after Phil and Tara had exchanged vows privately, the night before Phil left for Vietnam. Phil was subsequently reported killed. Joe Martin reminded Tara that little Philip was Chuck’s legal son. He told his wife Ruth that while her son Phil was phoning her for sympathy, he, Joe, was trying to save his son-in-law, Chuck’s life. When Ruth’s Aunt Sara asked her to be with her for a minor operation in Iowa, Joe insisted she go,”if that’s what it takes to stop your interfering.” Nick Davis, who had been covering fro Phil at the Chateau so that he might be with Tara without Phil’s wife Erica finding out, asked for and was granted permission to see his grandson little Philip, promising not to mention anything about his relationship to the boy. Erica, at the hospital for a visit, told Tara she understood her concern for Chuck, that if anything ever happened to Phil, she would kill herself. She took great pains to make herself appealing to Phil – who, that day, tried to persuade Tara to be with him at the motel and was rejected “until Chuck is well” – Erica found Phil’s reaction of sex without love brutal and felt degraded but she was determined to get pregnant. Erica had just recently been released from a sanitarium after suffering a nervous breakdown following her miscarriage of Phil’s body. Jeff Martin, unable to adjust to his wife Mary’s death, had begun speaking to her apparition. He told her he wanted to join her and their unborn son. Joe Martin was troubled upon overhearing Jeff speaking aloud in an apparently empty doctor’s lounge and when Jeff ordered an insulin injection for a patient with psoriasis, Joe asked Dr. Charles Tyler to give Jeff an extended leave. Charles thought Joe was over-reacting and decided to compromise by keeping a close eye on Jeff and reducing his work load. Joe replied that he hoped they didn’t live to regret the decision. When a new hospital aide, David Thornton, questioned Jeff’s conflicting orders, Jeff went to pieces and Joe had to sedate him. On Ruth’s return from her trip, she and Joe Martin reconcilied and Ruth arranged dinner with Tara and Jeff. When Tara, worried over Jeff’s despondency, rang the bell of Jeff’s apartment, she got no answer. Chuck, on the road to recovery, was beginning to question Phil’s close relationship with Tara and little Philip. Margo Martin, sensing that Paul, her husband, was about to ask her for a divorce, told him as she found him packing to move to his mother’s house temporarily, that she was pregnant. She desperately hoped to get pregnant in the next few weeks. Margo asked Erica to help in the shop while she and Paul went on a vacation, but Paul insisted she cancel the reservations she had made. He agreed to stay with Margo, but told her his feelings hadn’t changed. When Anne Tyler told her brother Linc about her promise to remarry Paul until she learned from him of Margo’s pregnancy. Linc suggested Margo might be lying. Phoebe Tyler called on her daughter and told Anne that Claudette Montgomery, Margo’s daughter and Phoebe’s paid companion, told her Margo had a facelift in New York. She suggested that such a deception would be the cause of Paul’s leaving Margo, goading Anne to scream at her that Paul would never leave Margo. At home at the Tyler mansion, Phoebe, drunk, passed out. Claudette stole the mate to an earring she had previously stolen from Phoebe and pawned it usting a driver’s license she had fliched from Kitty as an I.D. The license bore Kitty’s maiden name, Kitty Shea. Claudette planned to use the money to retain Linc Tyler’s – Kitty’s present husband – services in an attempt to secure alimony from Spencer Montgomery. Hal Short, who had been with Claudette when she was using drugs – although he refused to make a connection for her or use them himself – received a phone call ordering him to meet the caller alone. The man, claiming he represented “someone big,” referred to him as Hal Shea and threatened the loss of his radio station job. Hal was told they had need of his speciality – drugs – and he would be given his instructions. Paul told Anne he planned to ask Margo to have an abortion. He asked Joe Martin about the possibility of Margo having an abnormal child. Dr. Martin agreed the chances were greated at her age but that Margo appeared to be in excellent health. Anne told Paul, “the child you destroy will always be standing in our way.” Anne arranged a trip to New York. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Pat Randolph accidentally found birth control pills in her daughter Marianne’s purse. Pat was devastated, but covered, confiscating the pills. Pat, finally having to talk with someone, told her father Jim Matthews about the pills. Jim suggested Pat talk with Marianne and Dr. Dave Gilchrist, warning Pat not to make an enemy of Marianne. Pat knew he was right, but was afraid Marianne wouldn’t tell the truth. Pat was haunted by memories of her own disastrous sexual involvement with a boy when she was Marianne’s age. Finally, Pat confronted Marianne who said she got the pills “just in case,” and insisted she had done nothing wrong. Pat decided to keep the pills so Marianne wouldn’t find herself in the wrong situationand promised she wouldn’t tell John until both of them agreed to tell him. Pat found Dave thought Marianne had permission for the pills. Marianne insisted Chris did not prompt her to get them – which Chris confirmed -, and didn’t know she had them because she didn’t want him to get the wrong idea. Marianne became more desperate for the pills as Chris started working late with Pam Sloan on projects assigned them by Willis. Marianne asked Dave for another prescription, saying all her friends had pills. He asked if she sknew that for sure of if they were just showing off. Marianne told her Uncle Russ her problem and he convinced her they were concerned because they loved her. Marianne let it rest until she ran into Chris’ old girlfriend Glenda, whom Chris had just told it was over forever between them. Glenda told Marianne that Chris was seeing other girls, playing on Marianne’s sense of insecurity at being younger and less experienced. When Pat again refused to return the pills, Marianne went to another doctor and got a prescription. Meanwhile, Russ told Pat that to prove she trusted her daughter, and considering the pills can be got elsewhere because Marianne was of age, Pat should return the pills. She agreed, but Marianne had disappeared. Chris meanwhile was getting tired of Pat’s requests he talk to Marianne. Marianne appeared at Willis’ apartment where Chris and Pam were working late and asked about Glenda and his other present dates. He assured her she was the only one he was seeing. Learning Willis wouldn’t return for hours, Marianne began kissing Chris passionately and they made love. Marianne later accidentally confided this to Angie, who asked how long Marianne had been on the pill. When Marianne said she started the day Chris and she made love, Angie suggested Marianne talk to Dave immediately. Marianne was shocked to learn she might not have been protected and could be pregnant. After setting things up to to tell Chris, Marianne backed off. Liz Matthew incurred brother-in-law Jim Matthews’ anger by discussing Marianne and him with other family members. Liz felt shut out and tried too hard to help, then became bitter when people told her they didn’t want her felp. Jim found Helen Moore, Liz’s apartment mate and friend, pleasant company and began to date her regularly, occasionally sending her flowers. Liz, jealous and left out again, tried to convince his children Jim was being a foolish old man. Pat told Liz she’d rather see Jim looing to the future than living in his memories and asks Liz if Richard Gavin was being foolish when he dated Liz. Liz insisted that was different. When Jim found out that Liz had been talking about him to others, he told Liz she had always been a meddler and he and his late wife, Mary, only put up with it because they felt sorry for her. Liz left the room telling Jim she would never forgive him. Gil McGowan, following up the investigation of Cory housekeeper, Beatrice Gordon’s missing daughter, followed one lead to a dead-end. Gil reassured the wavering Beatrice that Jenny might want to be found because she kept in touch with friends and her brothers. Another lead, a man named Peter Sprague, looked more fruitful. Beatrice was heart-broken to learn, however, that Sprague, who disappeared the same week as Jenny, was a married conman. Sprague’s wife later divorced him for desertion. Iris Carrington continues in a depression following her suicide attempt, prompted by her being rejected by her father, Mac Cory, for her part in almost breaking up his marriage to Rachel. Rachel learned that Iris tried to do from Louise, Iris’s housekeeper. Dennis, Iris’ son, was staying with the Corys until Iris’ condition improved. Rachel took Dennis to visit and found a moment alone with Iris. She told Iris that Dennis could be a big comfort to her explaining she knew of Iris’ suicide attempt and hoped Mac never found out because he was finally free of Iris. Iris cheered a bit, knowing Rachel was keeping a secret from Mac again, and decided to bring Dennis home. Mac and Rachel decided to have a baby, especially when they found they were healthy. Jamie, Rachel’s son by Steven Frame, was enthusiastic. Dave Gilchrist, Iris and Rachel’s doctor, was in constant attendance on Iris. Loretta Simpson, an old New York friend of Iris’s, returned, prompting Iris to take in interest in Dave through Loretta’s overt plays for his attention. Mac and Rachel gave their first big party, for those who helped them reconcilie. Iris and Loretta found out about the party from Dave and Iris arrived, while Rachel was in the garden, and begged Mac to let her stay so people wouldn’t think they were having problems. Mac sent her away. Later, Loretta arrived, drunk, and told Rachel about Mac’s former life, flitting from romance to romance. Dave took Loretta home. Iris, aware she had lost Mac, decided to change her life. Rachel later told Dave she hoped Iris and Mac would reconcile, but had given up. Dave counselled that Rachel shouldn’t do anything regarding Iris until she felt she could trust Iris. Rachel was glad Iris had a friend in Dave. Mac arranged with lawyer Scott Bradley to disinherit Iris. Rachel guessed Mac’s intentions and asked him not to, saying it wasn’t fair. He explained he wanted their children to inherit everything. Iris told Loretta she was not going to openly oppose Mac’s marriage anymore, and perhaps when he saw she was no threat, he would take her back. Mac assured Rachel he wouldn’t mind the change in lifestyle a baby would bring and a child would cause the anxieties about the past to disappear. To thank Russ for his part in their reconciliation, Mac invited him for drinks and Rachel asked him to stay for dinner, both able to overcome past animosities. Carol Lamonte, snooping, found out Mac was disinheriting Iris, and went to tell her. Loretta dragged it from Carol, and immediately began plans to reconcile Mac and Iris starting with a party. Dennis was increasingly upset at being caught in the middle between Mac and Iris. Rachel promised him she would try to heal the rift, but her first try with Iris failed because Iris refused to believe Rachel’s sincerity, feeling Rachel was behind Mac’s hostility. Rachel tried to persuade Mac to forgive Iris but he refused. Iris asked them to a party for Loretta. Rachel made no commitment but suggested to Mac they attend for a short while. At Carol Lamonte’s instigation, Willis Frame hired Scott Bradley as his lawyer. The latest presentation Robert Delaney had made on the Pendleton Museum was a disaster. His sketches were a mess and he confided to Barbara Weaver that he worked hard on them. Robert suggested he might turn the project over to Neal Johnson, his assistant, but Barbara reminded him that was not what Pendleton was paying for. Robert said the incident had an echo of Carol in it. Carol asked Scott to tell Pendleton of Robert’s failure, asking him to make sure Pendleton talked to Willis, not Vic. Willis asked Vic Hastings when he was going to stop carrying a drunk like Robert. Robert worked hard on new sketches and Helen told him they were as good as the Cory complex. Carol showed up for a supplies list she made for Robert and while Helen’s back was turned, Carol took her keys. Carol returned late that night and stole the sketches. Finding them missing in the morning, Robert startes drinking again. Helen, Neil and Barbara later figured out what happened, but had no proof. Carol and Willis badgered John about Robert’s incompetence, with Carol taking credit for the Cory complex. Angie reminded Willis that wasn’t true at least Robert, unlike Carol, had proved himelf. Willis told Neal he was replacing Robert and offered him the project. Neal said he wouldn’t seek success at the expense of others. Helen, with Barbara’s permission, tried matchmaking with Barbara and Robert, but the party was spoiled when Lenore inadvertently called and hung up when Robert grabbed the phone. Robert decided to search for Lenore by checking school enrollments for Wally’s name, saying his work would never be any good until he knew for sure from Lenore that there was nothing left. He left, turning the museum project over to Neal. Willis was furious at Robert’s leaving. Angie and Willis had constant arguments about his lack of cooperation with Vic and his badgering of Robert. Scott Bradley, at Carol’s urging, told Willis of a possible project in Washington, and suggested Willis send Vic there, to divide and conquer. Neal’s sketches for the museum were good and he maintained they were based on Robert’s ideas. Willis refused to listen to that, disgusting Neal. Neal and Clarice discovered their friendship had developed into something deeper. Angie refused to attend the Cory party with Willis because she couldn’t stand to watch him fawning over contacts. Angie called Willis’ sister, Emma, who told her to stick to her guns. Angie warned Willis he was going to destroy himself and the firm. Alice Frame was in Oklahoma looking for a site to build a library in Steven’s name. Jim Matthews told Willis that Frame Enterprises couldn’t take on a new project because all their capital was tied up in the museum and the shopping mall. He asked if Willis was aware that Carol was way over budget on the mall. Willis explained Carol promised to make up her losses, disturbin Jim, who said it was most irregular and Willis should get it in writing. Scott, meanwhile, told Carol he would get along fine with Willis as long as Willis thought he was making the decisions. Carol wanted the museum project and asked for Scott’s help in getting it from Neil as revenge. Willis told her, though, that she would not get another project until the mall was done. Unable to back the Frame Library himself, Willis asked Carol and Scott to help him make contacts with foundations and obtain greats. They approached Mac Cory, who lent his name and offered a significant contribution. Carol sold him on an even bigger commitment with an idea for the Jamie Frame Traveling Library. Mac asked who the architect would be. Carol made a big hint that she would do the library, but Willis made it clear that the decision hadn’t been made yet. Angie told Willis he frightened her because he walked over people to get what he wanted and she was afraid he would trample her if she got in his way. She walked out and went to Clarice to talk. Clarice suggested Angie tried to shake Willis up and discover if he was serious about her because Angie’d better find out how mich she meant to Willis before it was too late. When Alice returned, her Aunt Liz visited her, insulting Emma by saying Alice should start depending on her own family. Willis painted Robert as unreliable, saying he tried to warn Alice. Alice told Willis that she would let him make the decisions. Carol pushed Scott at Angin, then Carol made a play for Willis, who told her he was not interested. When Carol made an overt attempt to get the library assignment by saying she would waive the architect’s fee, Willis still put her off. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore Carol Stallings, who had been wondering about her husband about her husband Jay’s relationship with Susan Stewart, saw Susan leave with Jay from his office. When she gave him an opening, Jay still wouldn’t tell her about it and whe she brought it up he claimed she was over-reacting. Carol told her former mother-in-law Lisa Shea Colman of her suspicions. Lisa said to give Jay the benefit of the doubt. Bob Hughes visited Natalie Bannon, his future daughter-in-law, to get her father’s address because he would like to write him, but Natalie claimed he had moved and whe she heard from him she would mail Bob’s letter along with her own. Natalie received phone calls at homme and the bookstore from a man who insisted he wanted to talk to Mrs. Porter. Helping at the bookstore one afternoon, Carol noticed how upset Naalie got when a called insisted Mrs. Porter worked there. Jen Hughes finally told Dan Stewart that her sister, Kim Dixon, had gone to Centerville to think things through. When Dan got there, Kim had already decided that she would be good for Dan, Betsy and Emmy, that she shouldn’t feel guilty about Dan’s ex-wife, Susan because Susan and Dan were divorced long before Kim met Dan and she would go on to Nevada to get her divorce from John Dixon. Before Kim could leave, a tornado hit Centerville destroying the cottage she was staying in. Jen couldn’t locate Kim in Oakdale and couldn’t phone through to Centerville because only emergency lines were open. John learned from David Stewart that Kim was in Centerville and hadn’t been heard from since the tornado. He rushed out, forgetting his cane – John had an accident several months ago and hadn’t been able to walk on his own since. – Tom Hughes took Frannie, Jen’s daughter, to his ex-wife Carol to babysit, because her grandmother wasn’t home, just as Jay walked in. Tom took Jen to Centerville where they ran into John at the high school as they found Kim in a coma. Dr. Lambert had put a letter from Kim’s pocket addressed to Dan in the desk drawer where John found it while looking for paper. John told Dr. Lambert he was taking over Kim’s case and was taking her back to Oakdale in an ambulance, over objections from both Dr. Lambert and Jen. David Stewart had the highway patrol looking for Dan, who was on his way to Canada with his daughters. So Jen had to stand alone against John. John finally let Jen see Kim for 5 minutes during which Kim woke, but didn’t recognize Jen. When John realized that Kim didn’t know what happened, he moved her without telling anyone. David Stewart tried to break the news gently to Dan, who flew in from Canada when the police found him. Dan threatened to take the hospital the hospital apart to find Kim, so John took him to Kim who was asleep, but when she wole he found she not only didn’t remember that she was on her way to get a divorce, but didn’t know Dan or even who she was. Grant Colman had looked through all the birth records in Laramie and could find none that would indicate that his ex-wife Joyce had given birth to a baby boy 3 years ago, as she claimed. A nurse at the hospital said she remembered a beautiful dark-haired girl giving birth to a boy 3 years ago, but Dr. Polk’s records were destroyed and he died in prison. Lisa suggested showing the picture to the pediatricians and finally a doctor recognized the boy, but the mother, Mrs. Cullen at first claimed the boy was not adopted, then finally admitted he is her younger sister’s son. Over dinner Grant and Lisa wondered how Joyce had a picture that the mother had never seen. Joyce entered the restaurant and retreated when she saw Grant and Lisa. Lisa told Grant that she was pregnant but could lose the baby. She calmed Grant’s fears about the trip by explaining that she was really resting instead of sightseeing as she claimed. Days Of Our Lives Written by: Pat Falken Smith Produced by: Betty Corday Julie Anderson, fighting hard not to lose the baby she was carrying, was gratified when her son David and she reconciled, finally able to admit their feelings to each other. David was puzzled that Julie had not told Bob, her husband, of her crisis. Julie told David that Bob’s denial that the baby was his denied him any rights. David, recalling how much he missed a father’s guidance, wondered if Julie wasn’t making a mistake, then offered to find an apartment for the two of them and the baby, promising to quit drinking to care for them. But Julie was unable to make the commitment. Alice, who was planning for Julie to stay with her when she was released, asked Julie if she would be able to cope with a new baby and David’s problem, surprising Julie, who didn’t know, along with other, that Alice was aware of David’s drinking. Bob had been searching for Julie, to no avail. Doug told Bob that it might be too late to save his marriage because Julie needed the confidence that Bob believed the baby was his. Bob was hurt when he found Julie was in the hospital through a phone call regarding insurance papers, and when he found he was barred from her room, he told David, later, that he understood and wished David were his son. Phyllis, learning of Julie’s situation, went to Bob, telling him she took full responsibility, but Bob refused her apology, saying it did not help because he should have trusted Julie. Phyllis explained that her rumor-mongering was a reflection of her deep hatred for Julie, then shocked Bob with the details of how she, Phyllis, was trying to kill Julie the night she accidentally shot their daughter Mary at the lake house. Phyllis left, telling Bob he was free of her. Julie continued to hemorrhage, so against Julie’s wishes, Tom sent Bob in, warning Bob beforehand hat he had to convince Julie he knew the baby was his and he wanted it. Bob succeeded, but Julie warned she could make no promised about a reconciliation. Julie was grateful to Tom for knowing she needed to see her husband. Julie thanked Don Craig for never letting her down and told him she loved him in a very special way, to which he replied that he loved her in all ways. Finally, Julie stopped bleeding and went to the Hortons’ to recuperate. Out of love for Julie and prompted by his little daughter Hope’s desire for a brother or sister, Doug offered to marry Julie and make the baby his. Julie was overwhelmed by his offer, finding herself unable to answer immediately. She confided her confusion to Don, saying she wanted to be fair, but she couldn’t accept any offer that would cast doubt on her baby’s parentage. Don urged her not to punish Bob further, pointing out while she married Bob for security, Bob married her for her love and Don felt Bob had been shortchanged. Don accused Doug of taking unfair advantage of Julie and said the men in Julie’s life had to back off until the baby was born. Don also asked Doug to consider what would happen to Julie’s relationship with David if she married Doug, implying David would doubt the baby’s parentage and question Doug’s real feelings for his late wife, Addie. David, meanwhile, asked Julie to keep an open mind about Bob, to which she replied her decision would be based on what was best for her and the baby. Doug confided to Robert that he felt he could be a better father to David than Bob and if he didn’t marry Julie, he wouldn’t marry anyone. Meanwhile, Neil Curtis discovered Hope’s desire for a brother or sister and Doug’s reluctance to remarry, he suggested Doug try artificial insemination with a host mother. Doug laughed it off. Julie told Doug she couldn’t accept his offer. She explained the baby itself was the important thing and their love had endured until then and always would. Doug graciously replied that Bob ought to have the opportunity to be a father to his own child, if that was what she thought was fair. Julie later told Amanda and this baby was her second chance. Alice observed to Doug that Julie had always had to compromise, and deserved some happiness. Julie told Doug she could not marry him before the baby was born and wouldn’t ever do anything to cast doubt on its parentage. Although Bob Anderson was devastated by his ex-wife Phyllis’ confession of trying to kill his wife Julie, Bob’s daughter Mary was too shocked to fully accept it, until it was confirmed by Doug, Bill Horton and Neil Curtis. Bob invited Mary to join his and Julie’s family, if things worked out. He said they had to accept the truth of Phyllis’ action and her state of mind at the time was no excuse to wipe out her guilt. Neil Curtis appeared at Amanda Howard’s apartment, claiming to have been with patients; however, she saw him coming out of the poker club. Amanda told him he was sick and he was already made the big kill – himself. Greg Peters, Neil’s associate, told Tom Horton he couldn’t press the negligence charges against Neil, but would leave the practice instead. Tom urged Greg to treat Neil as a patient and not to expect miracles. He accused Greg of letting his love for Amanda cloud his judgement. Greg agreed to Tom’s suggestion then apologized to Amanda for being so self-righteous. Amanda, unable to explain the hold Neil had on her, would like a healthy relationship with a man, which she knew she could have with Greg, but continued to stand by Neil. Neil agreed to attend a meeting of Gamblers Anonymous, with Amanda and Greg as moral support. At dinner, Greg and Amanda saw Greg’s estranged wife Susan dancing and flirting with his brother Eric, unaware that Eric was coaching Susan to try to make Greg jealous. Greg, however, loved Amanda and was unaffected. At the GA meeting, Neil told the leader, Sam, he was there for a friend. Amanda told Neil how glad she was he was there. After the meeting, however, Neil denied he had anything in common with “those people,” dragging Amanda away from an informal bull session, afraid she would reveal he was the one with the problem. Amanda had learned, however, that recovery was a slow process with much backsliding. When Susan told Greg there were no strings on him and her bitterness was gone, he told her he was in love with Amanda and Eric was in love with her. Susan went to Eric and asked if Greg was right. Eric admitted he was loved Susan for several years and asked Susan not to let that come between them. When Greg visited his legal daughter Annie, his mother accused him of shortchanging Annie by holding back and of being unfair to Susan by saddling her with all the responsibilities of a home while he found himself. Angry, Greg reminded his mother that Annie was really Eric’s daughter, not his. Eric later told Susan that if she divorced Greg, he would marry her. Susan was intrigued by the idea of Eric, Annie and her being a real family. Neil, one night, unable to reach Smitty, his sponsor from GA, or to convince Amanda to see him, got into another game at J.R.’s, and was surpriend to find Smitty in the same game. The following day, Neil told Greg he played poker to prove he could walk away, but he got drunk and continued, winning a big stake. Neil continued to deny he had a problem. He did admit his responsibility in Amanda’s suicide attempt months ago and also believed he set himself up so Amanda would leave him on their wedding eve so he could continue gambling. When Neil told Amanda he gambled again, she walked out, later looking for motives from his past that drove him to gamble. Neil’s father, an alcoholic, was a speculator who appeared to “gamble” only on losing schemes. Indeed, Nathan Curtis arrived in town wanting money for yet another risky proposition, which Neil refused, so Nathan tried to interest Tom Horton, upsetting Neil. Tom told Neil that he was afraid to really see Nathan because his father was a projection of what Neil was afraid he would be. Phyllis Anderson, meanwhile, unable to face Mary as Mary knew the truth about the lake house shooting, went to see Neil, asking for a place to stay. Amanda rrived to apologize for walking out and, finding Phyllis there in a robe, told Neil it was over for good. Neil and Phyllis drank to themselves, “two losers,” and found each other appealing. Neil proposed. Phyllis gave him a chance to back out, but he insisted and she accepted. Phyllis taunted Mary with her engagement, at the same time Neil checked out Phyllis’ financial statement. Bob was livid when Mary told him, and went to Phyllis to warn her he wouldn’t be around to pick up the pieces. Phyllis jibes that they then wouldn’t cling to each other anymore. As a protection for Phyllis and Bob, Don Craig suggested Bob persuade Phyllis to have Neil sign a pre-marital agreement denying him access to her assets. Phyllis agreed, telling Neil nobody could then claim he was marrying her for her money. Neil turned it around, and Phyllis told Bob she wouldn’t insult Neil by asking him and told Bob he could have his stock back. Mary told Doug it had come full circle – both parents marrying younger people. Amanda, devastated by the news, went to Bob to alert him to Neil’s gambling problem. Phyllis refused to believe Neil couldn’t handle it, until Don suggested she talk to Tom Horton, won confirmed Neil’s problem. Neil told J.R. he would be a regular customer. Neil repaid Amanda all the money he borrowed. She told him she had spent her last emotional dollar on him and wished him godspeed. Neil told Greg to take care of Amanda, explaining, in tears, he loved Amanda more than Greg did because he was getting out of her life for good. When Tom asked Phyllis what she would say if he told her she was making the worst mistake of her life, she replied it would only strengthen her determination to marry Neil; however, she did decide to ask Neil to sign the pre-marital agreement. Neil, on a lucky streak, made a “bet” with Phyllis – if he wond less than $5000 at a the race track, he would sign. She said if he won more, she would tear up the papers. Rebecca North, Doug’s housekeeper, was embarrassed when her boyfriend, Johnny Collins, appeared at the club determined to meet Doug. The introduction went smoothly, but Rebecca was afraid of losing her job because she was supposed to be working. Doug reassured her and in the process learned Rebecca was a widow who was very emotional about children. When Robert LeClair asked if she planned to marry Johnny, she replied she took one day at a time. Although Rebecca had been living with Johnny for the past 2 years, she refused to discuss her past with him, saying it was too painful. Johnny, meanwhile, was having trouble findind a commercial art job, having given up trying to be a full-time artist because he couldn’t stand Rebecca’s paying all the bills. He even considered not competing for an art scholarship to Paris because it didn’t provide living expenses for the first year and he wouldn’t let Rebecca help. Inspired by her to try though, he said he would earn the money himself. In a visit to Neil, her doctor, Rebecca revealed the pain she continued to feel since losing her husband and daughter in a car accident while she was driving. Brooke Hamilton, alienated from David since he discovered her part in the rumors about Julie’s baby, returned to her mother in Chicago with glowing tales of life in the jet set, enjoying it immensely until her mother revealed Julie had visited her and that she had spent the money Julie gave her to come to the defunct wedding on cheap wine. Brooke lashed out saying she wouldn’t stop lying any more that her mother could stop drinking, and, since she was 5, she had been constructing fantasies to live in to escape her shame of her mother and the reality of their poverty. Brooks asked why her mother never demanded alimony or child support from her father. Mrs. Hamilton revealed she was never married and the man never knew about Brooke. Brooke decided to find her father, then called David, trying to make amends but David was unforgiving.

Maggie, seeing Marty’s response to Melissa, speculated that she might not wait until she could walk to adopt a child. Marty invited Mike to visit and he accepted. Marty urged Linda to leave because Melissa was a reminder that he and Maggie couldn’t have children and because Mike was coming. Linda promised to leave, then called Jim, telling him Dr. Lubick wanted her to stay 2 more weeks. Jim called Lubick and learned Maggie was fine. He spoke to Linda, asking if all the talk about remarrying was a pack of lies. He told her he would be out the following day to get Melissa and her, and would tell the Hansens the type of friend she really was. Pushed, Linda told Marty he was Melissa’s father – Marty knew he was sterile, but speculated the sterility was induced by the same operation that caused his amnesia. Linda knew Marty had been sterile all his adult life, and his son Mike was really his brother Bill’s son -. Marty said he had to tell Magige, but she had overhead the conversation and didn’t want to hear it from Marty, avoiding him at first when he tried to tell her, but wondering later why he didn’t . Linda told Marty she expected nothing from him, that she and Melidda would make it on their own. As they were ready to leave, Linda was called to Brookeville Hospital. Jim had an accident and was in critical condition with a compound cranial fracture that affected his speech. He refused to respond to Linda, afraid again all her caring words were lies. When Marty came in, Jim made a desperate attempt to communicate, to no avail. Marty asked Bill and Tom to come and Linda gave Bill permission to operate. Linda went to the chapel to pray, but found herself thinking that Jim’s death would protect her lies and improve her chances to rewin Marty. The operation over, Bill told Linda the brain damage was severe, but couldn’t tell her its extent yet. Linda pledged to care for Jim, then was torn by how much he would be able to reveal to Marty. Marty told Tom he wanted to see to Melissa’s schooling, and surprised Tom by calling him Dad and saying Tom might call him Mickey if he would feel more comfortable.

The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock / Robert Cenedella Produced by: Joseph Stuart / Jeff Young Carolee Aldrich’s unhappiness and mistrust of the 3 months temporary custody agreement, whereby her son Erich was living with his natural mother Karen Werner, was further complicated by the scenes she continually witnessed between her husband Steve and Ann Larimer. However, despite Althea’s advice, she did not confront Steve at the time when she had apparently good reason to but brooded over what she had seen. At Steve’s office, she overheard Ann telling him he didn’t deserve a wife treating him the way Carolee had, and waking one night, Carolee witnessed Steve with his arms around Ann, who had been staying with them as the apartment she previously shared with Steve’s mother Mona had been sublet. Steve accused Carolee of letting her jealousy get out of hand as she did with Cathy Ryker, and as hard as that was to deal with it was easier than her jealousy over a 7 year old boy. He warned her if it continued she wouldn’t be the one to walk out, he would. When she told him what was upsetting her, Steve explained that Ann was having a nightmare – Ann had dreamed that her late husband Chris appeared saying, “You buried me in Africa. Every damn minute with me was faked. Nick sensed you were stalling, not a real woman. Nick knows, Steve Aldrich knows.” In reaction Ann screamed and was genuinely upset when Steve went to her. – Steve told Carolee he loved her more than anyone he ever loved before and asked her to trust him. He asked Anne to wait a week before moving out so that Carolee would not think the move was made because he felt guilty. Mona arranged for Ann to move back to the apartment. When Mona and Steve later visited Erich, Mona warned Karen that if she attempted to create dissention between Carolee and Steve, Karen would have to deal with her, Mona.

But when Toni returned to the hospital to prepare to leave and nearly fainted, Althea insisted upon examining her and pronounced her pregnant.

When she did, he assured her that nothing could come between them, the baby would be theirs. Alan had had an accident on the road. In a motel room waiting for parts for the car, he got drunk and called Toni. Before she could tell him about the baby, he hung up on her. Toni was determined to have an abortion. Matt and Maggie argued over Toni’s decision. Maggie felt that Alan had a right to know, that Toni had been opposed to abortion and that the child was wanted when it was conceived. Ernie Cadman’s office located Alan’s motel and called Matt’s house to report. Maggie, using the phone number Ernie had supplied, called Alan. Martha and Cadman went on a date and slowly got closer to one another.

The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson Mike Karr learned from mob leader, Walter LePage about his son-in-law Johnny Dallas' working for Kincaid in order to get Crime Commission information. Johnny, drunk and depressed over the separation in his marriage due to Laurie's preoccupation with the unborn child, almost succumbed to seductress Josie’s charms – Josie was in reality Senera Faraday’s split personality. However, he was suddenly stunned by what appeared to be bizarre behavior. Serena emerged into a shocking and bewildering situation and screamed at Johnny to leave. Terrified by her frequent blackouts, Serena turned to Nancy Karr for support and was advised to see Quentin Henderson professionally. Nancy discovered a dark wig in Serena's bureau and mentioned it to Mike and his associate Adam Drake along with her suspicions that Serena might be afraid to learn the real truth causing these emotional upsets. Mark Faraday, Serena’s ex-husband, again threatened a custody suit because he said he had evidence to prove Serena an unfit mother. Johnny and Laurie reconciled, but Nancy was still worried because Laurie felt that the unborn baby was an intruder the same way Josie intruded on their marriage. On a visit to Laurie, Josie was frightened off by the appearance of Nancy, who sensed the similarities between Serena and Josie. Nancy asked Serena about this coincidental likeliness but unknowingly confronted Josie - who was pretending to be Serena -. Serena/Josie shocked Nancy with the story that she had a secret, hidden disreputable "half-sister," who followed her around and caused trouble. After an unsuccessful attempt to prove Johnny was connected with mob activities, Lt. Luke Chandler and Mike's fears about Dallas might be verified. LePage's information about Assistant D.A. Brandy Henderson's secretary, Lila, being the mob's inside informant proved correct. Weary from his confrontation at Police Headquarters, Johnny returned home and received a call from Josie, who taunted him about leaving a lighter at her apartment. Laurie overheard this on the extension phone and threw Johnny out for his apparent deception and unfaithfulness. Laurie called Nancy, who rushed to her daughter to comfort her, as Mike left for the restaurant to find Johnny. Josie showed up at the New Moon, and a despondent Johnny, disgusted by her taunting, forcibly moved her toward the door as Kincaid walked in and quietly instructed Josie to leave. While Kincaid ordered Johnny to pump Mike about the new informer, Johnny put two and two together and asked Kincaid if Josie was on his payroll. Kincaid tried double talk, but Johnny realized that he had been had and without emotion refused to cooperate after Kincaid drew a gun on him. However, when Kincaid verbally threatened Laurie, Johnny wrested the gun from him and clobbered Kincaid with the butt of the weapon. Only Mike's arrival prevented Johnny from killing Kincaid. After facing Geraldine Whitney about his suspicions of her fake heart attack, Kevin Jamison prepared to leave for good. Just as he informed Phoebe Smith, he was summoned back by the news of a second more severe seizure which resulted in Geraldine's hospitalization. Geraldine’s former daughter in law, Tiffany and her new husband Noel Douglas were upset to learn that Geraldine had used some pills of Trudy, the maid, which were known to produce heart palpitations. The Douglases' suspicious that the recent heart seizure might have been self induced, agreed not to tell Kevin about their doubts. Later Noel arrived home with a lipstick stained handkerchief monogrammed "Tracy" and was discovered by Kevin. As repayment for Kevin's silence to protect Tiffany, Noel told Kevin about Geraldine's use of Trudy's pills to produce her well-timed heart attack. General Hospital Written by: Richard & Suzanne Holland Produced by: Tom Donovan Felix Buchanan, enraged by what he believed were the corrupting influences of “evil playboy” Cameron Faulkner on the only kind person he had ever know in his life, justified his demented actions to “protect” Dr. Lesley Williams from marrying Cam by shooting him, then collapsing from a perforated ulcer. Cameron was rushed to General Hospital where Dr. Joel Stratton performed an intensive 5 hour operation to repair the near fatal chest wound. Ironically, Joel, almost dismissed from General Hospital over alleged malpractice suits, saved the life of Cameron who might have benefited most from Joel’s dismissal because of Joel’s undesired propinquity with Lesley. Lesley, already deeply attracted to Cameron, realized how much Cam meant to her when she almost narrowly lost her fiancé. She aged to marry him in the hospital chapel just as sson as he could be permitted to leave his hospital bed. In a simple, lovely wedding ceremony in front of gathered close friends, Cam and Lesley pledged their lives and love to each other. Cameron, in a gesture of gratitude to Joel for saving his life, generously underwrote the complete reestablishment of the Southwood free Clinic at General Hospital, where both staff and facilitied would be so improved that Joel envisioned helping thousands of needy patients. Joel, secretly saddened over his loss of Lesley – Joel forced a break in their close relationship when he discovered he might have a fatal heart condition – told Cameron he admired him and was pleased that Cam had made Lesley so happy. Joel later told Lesley of his plans to return to Boston to head a children’s cardiac unit. Everything ironically Joel ever really cared about would be left behind, Lesley, and his new free clinic. Later, upon his release from the hospital, Cameron arranged for a weekend jet honeymoon in Switzerland. Lesley was delighted but confessed to Cam, as they prepared to leave, that she had doubts about her ability to adjust to his sophisticated world. Cameron gently assured her that his real friends would easily accept and like her and reminded her he was integrated into her world. Dr. Jim Hobart, who had been drinking heavily since an injury to his hand prevented him from performing cardiac surgery, finally agreed to seek help for his drinking problem. Audrey, his wife, who had been helped by AL-AMON, was cautiously hopeful that Jim’s attendance at the AA meetings would show him that his whole life and that of his family’s was at stake if he failed to stop drinking. Dr. Steve Hardy, hopeful that Jim could make it, had given him a 6 month trial period to show sincerity before reconsidering Jim for a possible jov on the staff. Jim was hopeful that he could one day reclaim Joel’s administrative job and perhaps run the new free clinic. Augusta McLeod’s decision to release her baby was handled by lawyer Lee Baldwin and with Caroline Chandler’s assistance, a highly suitable family was found. Rudy and Sheila Fischer lovingly claimed their new son, naming him Jonathan Chandler (for Caroline) Fischer. Augusta returned to prison to wait for her possible parole, knowing the baby’s newly adopted family deeply adored their son. Dr. Peter Taylor confessed to his wife Diana that he became the father of Augusta’s child when he had been separated from Diana, assuring her it had been only a momentary episode and he deeply cared for Diana. He begged for her forgiveness. Diana was shocked by Peter’s revelation, eventually joining Peter in Vienna at a medical conference but found it difficult to forgive him the pain he had caused her. Caroline Chandler’s young son, Bobby, was a demon for work and constantly worried his widowed mother over his need to rush through his pre-med studies to become a surgeon. When Bobby arranged to be a paramedic at the new free clinic, he was introduced to the young and highly roommate of Beth Maynard – Diana Taylor’s sister -, Samantha (Sami) Livingstone. Sami, who had no transportation to the rough neighboorhood where the clinic was located, had to relunctantly agree to have Bobby, whom she found overbearing and conceited, act as her chauffeur and guardian to and from the hospital. Jane Dawson, poignantly trying to piece her life together after the tragic death of her little 3-year-old-daughter Joanne, left General Hospital to go to Mercy Hospital and began nursing on the pediatric ward. The Guiding Light Written by: Bridget & Jerome Dobson Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg Everyone celebrated the arrival of Dr. Ed Bauer and Holly’s infant daughter, Christina. Despite what should be the happiest period in Holly’s life, the family noticed her moodiness and strained behavior, but dismissed it as postpartum depression – Andy Norris, Holly’s Brother, was the only person who knew the true reason involved Roger Thorpe, Christina’s natural father, who had begun seeing Peggy Fletcher again. – Holly’s spirits, however, altered for the better when the baby successfully began nursing. Ed, who had returned to his administrative duties at Cedars Hospital, was unable to resume his real calling in neurosurgery because of his paralyzed hand which resulted from his brother-in-law, Ken Norris’ shooting him in a peak of insane jealousy. Ed, frustrated by his desk job, lavished attention on the fiery young doctor, Tim Ryan, recently demoted and placed on probation after changing from his chief residency job in OB to assistant resident in neurosurgery. When Ed bypassed hospital procedure and elevated Tim over residents with seniority for special surgery experience, Dr. Steve Jackson rescinded the order and Tim and steve clashed. Ed, realizing his emotional state had threatened his objectivity both at home and on the job, renewed his demands for Steve to to the highly risky nerve root surgery he desperately sought to restore the use of his hand. Steve refused outright because of a 50 percent risk of failyre which could mean complete paralysis of Ed’s arm for life. Steve, appealing to Holly to rason with Ed so that she and Christina would fill the voic created in Ed’s life, was upset that Holly refused and supported Ed’s demands for the dangerous surgery. Holly, after speaking briefly with Peggy, misinterpreted Peggy’s demure reluctance to rush into a committed relationship with Roger – he recently endangered Peggy and her son Billy with his loan shark dealings. – Coupled with Roger’s natural curiosity about Christina, Holly told Andy she believed what was possible might be possible, and made plans to risk everything to woo Roger back! Roger, who had proposed marriage to Peggy, proved to her just how mature he had become when he turned down a profitable, but highly risky job offer to start another bistro in partnership with an attractive divorcee, because he didn’t want to take chances again providing for their more solid future. And indeed when Roger impulsively woke Peggy after work at 1 a.m. with strawberries and champagne, she overwhelmed him by suddenly saying she wanted to accept his proposal. Andy, resentful that his European adventure stories had been rejected by a publisher, began working on a more promising manuscript about Holly and Roger, entitled, “Valerie’s Story.” Leslie Bauer found herself disagreeing with her husband Michael’s tactics when he forced his 18-year-old daughter, Hope, to come home for a visit from college. Leslie and her father, Steve, were disturbed over young singer Chad Richards’ latest symptoms involving his temporary “conscious” bklackouts when he imagined he and Leslie were going steady again in high school and made romantic advances. Doctors suspected an undetected brain tumor or possible psychological problems as the cause. Pam Chandler, having returned to work after the birth of Samantha, whom she was raising as a single parent while living in Bert Bauer’s home, decided to turn over a new leaf and actively seek a suitable candidate for fatherhood and marriage. Pam’s sincere attempts to caution Tim about his residency being jeopardized by his temper, met with sullen abuse from the highly intelligent and capable young doctor who felt singled out for criticism. Tim later,tried to make amends for his rudness at Pam’s concern by asking her out for dinner. Drs. Sara and Joe Werner prepared a successful surprise birthday party for their beloved foster son T.J. and were deeply affected by his return gift of two handmade paper weights bearing “Mom” and “Dad” on them. Joe performed emergency surgery on a badly beaten woman, Ann Jeffers, who desperately clung to her only valuable possession, a small snapshot. Joe was concerned as Ann countered his medical advise with hostility and abuse. Ann’s desolate life had consisted of one brutal man after another and she showed no will to recover.

Dr. Torino told Cal she shouldn’t harbor this resentment for her mother because it would only delay her recovery. Cal’s mood got worse and finally Rick Latimer, owner of Beaver Ridge and the burnt out Club Victoria, and Meg’s lover, was the only one who could get Cal to eat. Cal refused to cooperate to get ready for her physical therapy until Rick stepped in and the Dr. Torino asked if he would help by being there a couple hours everyday to reassure her. Cal told Rick about her nightmare in which, as her car fell in the fog, Meg told Cal that she had arranged it for her own good. Cal said she had realized one thing lying in bed: her mother was dangerous to her. Mayor Bruce Sterling asked Diana Lamont to give up her appointment as Director of Family Services because Jamie, the father of her unborn child, insisted that her health was in danger, but Diana said it would be admitting she was wrong all along. Bruce fired her for what he felt was her own good. Di was mad at Jamie for ending her 20 year career without consulting her. Jamie suggested that she could be trying to punish herself with all the stress because she felt guilty about all those she had hurt by being in the public eye. Jamie got his hearing for a divorce from his missing wife scheduled, but it was on the docket for January 20 and the baby was due in the middle of January. Diana asked him to get a divorce in Haiti so the baby wouldn’t be illegitimate, but Jamie insisted on doing it the safe, sure way. Diana and her doctor both felt that because of her age – 40 – it was necessary for her to have an amniotic fluid test. Bruce later promised Jamie that he would make sure the judge considered carefully Jamie’s petition to have the hearing moved up. Charles Lamont and Felicia Flemming were married in Bruce’s office and started out for their honeymoon in a resort of restored colonial cabins set in the woods. Felicia drank a lot of campagne, and when Charles finally placed her on the bed she broke down, admitting that she was a virgin and had lied about all the men in her life. Charles was relieved, until she told him that the whole idea of sex made her ill and she was not sure she could get over this feeling. After a long walk in the woods alone, Charles agreed to live with Felicia to give her a chance, as long as they had separate bedrooms and there were no more lies for appearance’s sake. But, the first time Felicia ran into Di, she gave a glowing description of her marriage and honeymoon. Johnny, Charles’ grandson, went to see Di, his step-grandmother, but refused to believe she could have a baby because “everybody knows you have to be married.” When Johnny told Felicia that adults didn’t stay married anyway, Felicia told Di that for Johnny’s own good she didn’t think Johnny should see her anymore. When Meg refused to let her son, Ben, and his new wife, Betsy move to a place of their own, Betsy appealed to Rick, Ben’s former boss, to give him a job so they could moved out, but the police commission had found it was a case of arson that gutted the Club Victoria and until Rick was cleared he could get no insurance money.

But when he said he loved her, she asked him to slow down a little.

Arlene and her mother found the apartment a shambles and the pearls missing, but Arlene refused to call the police. Ben finally admitted taking the pearls when Arlene started to make good her threat to phone Betsy. One Life To Live Written by: Gordon Russell Produced by: Doris Quinlan Despite Tim Siegel’s stunning confession to the murder of Dr. Mark Toland at the Llanview Motel, Police Lt. Ed Hall still pursued the case. Everyone desperately tried to convince Tim to plead self-defense ot at least somehow explain his actions and justify his alleged shooting of Mark, but Tim constantly rebuffed their attempts to help. Tim’s uncle, Joe Riley, engaged Vince Wolek, an out of work policeman, as a private investigator to unearth some new evidence to clear his nephew for the sake of Tim’s mother, Eileen, and his sister Julie, who was once Toland’s wife. Ed, convinced that he could find out the real reason for the fugitive Toland’s risky return to town, unearthed facts about Toland’s life in Central America and gained a sworn statement from a woman who told of Mark’s plans to “sell” something worth $50.000 to finance his dream to return to the practice of medicine in a foreign country after the loss of his livelihood following the Wilson murder trial. The Grand Jury’s predicted indictment of Tim for second degree murder provoked new attempts by family and friends to force Tim to save himself but they were met by his stubborn refusal to admit anything and an announcement to waive a jury trial for the formality of sentencing. Novitiate Jenny Wolek, desperately torn by her devotion to her chosen career and her growing love for Tim, struggled unsuccessfully to convince Tim he had to put up a fight since she believed he couldn’t be a murder and that he might be protecting someone, like his vulnerable sister Julie. Susan Barry’s drinking problem became more aggravated by her mistaken obsession over Larry and Viki’s supposed clandestine affair. Anna Craig, Larry’s sister, concerned over Susan’s heavy drinking and her frequent blackouts, went to her apartment and was puzzled when she discovered a piece of notepaper with Tim’s name written on it. Having lied to Larry about attending an AA meeting, Susan, drinking heavily, began packing to leave town. When she tried to reach Larry, Anna told her Larry was with Viki. Susan, enraged, drunkenly told Anna that Larry and Viki were no doubt at “that motel” again. Over a double martini, Susan later told Sheila Rafferty she had proof Viki and Larry were having an affair. She followed Larry to the Llanview Motel one night and saw him come out of the room with Viki. Refusing Sheila’s offer to escort her safely home, Susan left to “confront them.” Anna meanwhile had gone to Susan’s room and, frightened by its general disorder and the discovery of blood-stained cloths, alerted Ed. Learning of Susan’s condition from Sheila, Anna went to the motel where she found Susan waiting in the car. Susan, refusing ti believe Anna’s assurances that Larry and Viki weren’t there, pounded furiously at a motel room door which was opened from the inside by Tony Harris! But Susan, staring at him, saw Mark’s face and gasped, “Oh my god, Mark Toland!” Ed’s revelation to Joe and Viki of his discovery about a possible blackmail scheme trigged waves of guilt and fear for Viki that Joe might somehow learn what Viki and Larry had been secretly hiding for months – that Joe shouldn’t have any more children because of his genetic transmission of a fatal heart disease which would ultimately claim the life of his illegitimate daughter Megan. – Ed, reevaluating all of Toland’s personal effects, realized there could be someone else who knew what Toland was blackmailing someone with. Viki noticed how close Dr. Dorian Cramer was becoming to her father, Victor Lord, recuperating from a heart attack. Dorian suggested Victor a trip in New York and Victor seemed very interested at the idea.

Frank’s sister, Mary, slapped his wife Delia after Dee wondered aloud if he would ever talk again and be himself and perhard he’d be better off if he didn’t recover. Mary insisted Frank would get well because “that’s what Frank Ryan does.” When Mary apologized because when they quarrelled their attention went from Frank, Delia commented on how alike Mary and Frank were. “It’s like John and Maeve had the same child twice, once a girl and once a boy.” Delia had asked her brother-in-law Pät to find out what Frank’s campaign manager, Bob Reid, Frank’s best friend and Dee’s rbother, thought about the two words Frank had uttered – “Delia” and “pushed.” She reminded Pat of her relationship to him before her marriage to Frank, saying she married Frank because he asked her and Pat didn’t. She asked him to hold her but he was afraid to talk. When a nurse came out of Frank’s room to say he was going to make it, Dee was visibly shaken. Bob Reid stopped Nick Zabo – a known loan shark, in the hospital with a slipped disk who was visited by Frank on the day of Frank’s fall – from speaking to Johnny, Frank’s father, in the corridor. Nick said he only wanted to offer sympathy. He said he couldn’t explain the $6500 found on Frank. Nick maintained his campaign contribution offer, which was turned down, was in gratitude to Maeve for her intercession with the Sisters to take his daughter Serena into the boarding school which Maeve and Johnny’s daughter, Siobhan, also attended; He promised Bob to see what he could find out. Intern Bucky Carter’s pursuit of Faith Coleridge had hit a snag when, unable to awaken her after a full day and a half of work at the hospital for them both, and sun, swimming, smorgasbord and Aquavit on his houseboat, he called her brother Roger to determine if she had a medical history which would explain it. Upon waking, Faith was furious and she stormed home to a puzzled sister Jillian, who was visiting, and a knowing and amused brother Roger. Ed Coleridge, who had been at odds with Nell Beaulac over her demeanor with the hospital staff, was touched when Nell told Johnny that they believed Frank was dying and the family had best prepare in the time left. Once conceding that Nell had shown a lot of compassion, he apologized for his “limited expectations” and offered her a belated welcome to Riverside Hospital. After not having left the hospital for 36 hours in his concern for Frank, he invited Nell to his house for dinner. Ed kissed her but though, she told him, her life with her husband Seneca was a thing of the past, she came back to town with only her work in mind. But, she added, the could start slowly. After spending the day on Nell’s nephew, Bucky Carter’s houseboat, Faith emphasized their relationship was not a committed one. She agreed, however, to lie down beside him. When Bucky told her he loved her, she insisted on leaving the Marina. Jack Fenelli, an investigative report and Jillian’s former lover, had been accused by Mary of not letting his feelings get involved. He took her to meet someone he loved who could hurt him. The man who raised him, Francesco Moreno, a man convicted of murder, also known as “Chickie the Beef” and “Jumbo.” They shared expresso and pastry and Jumbo speculated that Jack seemed to be serious. Mary let Jack know she was interested in courtship. Maeve at Frank’s bedside sang a song she had sung to him through his childhood. As Johnny anxiously joined in – Frank finally awoke. Relieved at Frnak’s recovery, Nell and Ed celebrated with a picnic at Nell’s all but empty apartment. Seneca Beaulac, who had obtained a commitment for a position at Riverside, obtained Nell’s address and entered the room as she and Ed embraced. Jillian, at Frank’s bedside, recalled Frank’s promise once the elections were over to spend the rest of his life with her. He had promised to work out the details and try to make things as easy as possibly for Dee and little John. While Frank was still unable to talk because of the “tranch” trube in his throat, Roger told him he had taken the $6.500 and paid off Nick Zabo because Zabo was threatening his life. If Frank did not put in a claim for the money, the hospital would not pursue the issue. Mary and Bob, realizing Frank would talk after the tube had been removed, told Maeve and Johnny that Frank had said the word “pushed.” Delia surreptitiously left the Ryans’ place to be first at Frank’s bedside when he was able to speak.

Stephanie told Dave, a construction foreman for the Collins Corp., there was not a chance she would come back to him because she planned to marry Clay, although Clay didn’t know it yet. Janet Collins was concerned because her husband, Wade, with a full medical practice, was the major stockholder in the Collins Corp., and had to spend many hours at the sanitarium visiting his former fiancee, Karen, who became schizophrenic after taking experimental drugs. When Janet told Clay that Wade was more uptight as Karen was getting well, Clay suggested that Wade didn’t want Karen to get well because he was responsible for Karen taking the drugs. Wade admitted that this theory of Clay’s was what had caused the hard feelings between them for years. One night, Karen appeared on the tennis court at the Collinses’ and Janet discovered that Karen still lived in the past, at a time when she was engaged to Wade. A couple of days later, when he knew Wade was working, Clay had Karen call Janet to say she would be back to visit and be sure to tell Wade she loved him. Wade was almost late for Liza’s wedding because he was convincing Karen that he was very busy and she had to go on hunger strikes because he hadn’t been to seen her. When Wade told Karen they weren’t engagement, she became so hysterical that Dr. Newman, Karen’s staff doctor, suggested that Wade not visit Karen. Wade threatened to take Karen out of the sanitarium saying they were partial to Clay since he built the new wing, but apologized when he realized he was overwrought. Kathy Phillips told D.A. Sam Hunter that she promised Robin Kennemer that she could go home and he said it was all right because he knew all about the nickel and dime operation Robin was involved with.

Burns before he left that he wouldn’t find anything. Much to Sam’s dismay, Burns came back with evidence things were being covered up in Maysport, so Sam took him off the case. McCready told Hunter he’d better consider Kathy Phillips and his job before he moved on this again. John Wyatt accused Sam of a cover-up and Kathy defended Sam againt John until she learned the police reports on Robin’s friends were missing. Kathy went to Maysport herself where she got a description of a man who went off with Robin.

Kate, smug, said as he knew she didn’t lie and he could trust her, Kate refused to reveal the “miscarriage” for awhile, saying she didn’t want pity. During an appointment with Tom Conway, Vicky Paisley, Ned’s sister, let him knew she observed Kate and Tom leaving on a plane together. Tom said she was mistaken. Vicky warned Ellen not to let Jill get involved with Tom. She then arranged a dinner party with Tom, Kate and Julian. Vicky asked where they were going to announce Kate’s pregnancy, enjoying watching everyone squirm, especially Tom. Later she asked Tom what he was protecting Kate from. Ned told Eve Lawrence, with whom he had just reconcilied, that marriage was the next logical step for them. As Ned and Eve planned an extended vacation at Ned’s family home at Charlevoix, Eve was distressed at Heather’s panic. Heather told Jerry Kane, her husband, that it was nice to have a mother around to depend on. He replied, as her husband, she would depend on him only. Heather told Eve she was disturbed that Jerry might outgrow her as he said he outgrew his deranged ex-wife Dorothy. Eve counselled Heather to concentrate on the future, not the past. Kate appeared at Eve’s apartment as Eve was waiting to leave with Ned, demanding to know how many people Eve had told of her pregnancy. Eve denied Kate’s accusation that she was still in love with Julian. Ned listened outside the door, lighting up when he head Eve declare her love for him and said she would scream it from the roof tops if she were carrying Ned’s child. He entered, giving Kate her exit cue. Ned later got his mother’s engagement ring from Vicky. Heather continued to be upset. She befriended Vic Kirby by returning his key to their cabin. Heather couldn’t suppress a jealous twinge when she saw Jerry have coffee with Carrie Wheeler because she felt inferior to the better educated Carrie. Heather confided her insecurity to Terri Kurtz, who advised Heather not to create problems. Heather received an ego-boosting promotion to Ellen Grant’s assistant as patient relations counsellor. Carrie moved in with Greg Mercer after her grandmother Lena Andrews’ warning that Carrie’s father, Jack, wouldn’t like it. Afraid Carrie was unable to feel real love for any man because of her bitterness towards Jack, Lena warned Jack he had to tell Carrie the truth about his late wife, Frances: Frances, unable to copte with loneliness while Jack was building his law practice, turned to other men. The night of the accident that paralyzed her, Frances was abandoning Jack and Carrie to run away with another man. Jack came upon the accident and took the man’s place behind the wheel to protect Carrie from scandal. When Jack arrived at the apartment to tell Carrie, he was sho shocked at seeing Carrie in a robe and Greg in his shorts, that he walked away, speechless. Jack had to return to Wilkesbarre and wished Jill Farmer could accompany him. To his delight, she agreed. They discovered their love for each other. Jill, discovering “Jack” was a nickname for Jonathan decided she would call him Jon. Jon and Jill made love to confirm their feelings as Jon gave Jill half a gold coin as a necklace, keeping the other half himself. Carrie, meanwhile, spurned Greg’s offer of marriage, saying everything was perfect as it was, a statement Greg didn’t fully concur with. When Carrie flaunted their affair at a party for Lena, Lena called Jon, telling him he had to return and tell Carrie the truth, spoiling Jill’s idyllic holiday. Julian, meanwhile, expressed his disapproval to Greg, guessing Greg was more committed than Carrie, and fearing Greg’s work would suffer if Carrie and Greg every splited. Jon was stung when an acquaintance mistook Jill for his daughter. Ellen guessed Jill was in love. Tony and Ginger Cooper’s marital problems, caused by Tony’s seeming devotion to his work and consequent neglect of his family, came to a head when Ginger got drunk at another impromptu dinner at Ned’s and told Ned he was dictatorial and rude. Tony and Ginger talked it out and Tony assured a doubtful Ned that he could be successful with both job and family. But after Ned left town with Eve, Tony again forgot a family commitment because of his work. Ginger confided her unhappiness to Vicky Paisley who urged Ned to involve Ginger in a teen counselling program at the store, warning Ned things would get worse before they were better between the Coopers. Tony told Ginger he needed her and his work because both made him feel successful, and success at work demanded long hours and some neglect of his family. He asked her to be patient. The Young And The Restless Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: John Conboy Lorie Brooks had a plan to help Mark Henderson, who admitted that he couldn’t be intimate with any woman because his young bride died in his arms on their wedding night. Since then he had dated only very young girls so that he wouldn’t have to face his problem. Lorie used sensitivity therapy: drawing articles of different texture across his bare back to make him more aware of his sense of touch. Jed Andrews, Lorie’s agent, told her that her published was financing a small vacation to New York to meet her. Jed offered Chris Foster, Lorie’s sister, a one time modelling job, posing as a mother for a baby food ad and Chris was amazed to make $150 for a morning’s work even though the photographer said it was a rough business and she should stay out of it. Leslie Brooks Elliot stopped in Chicago to see her mother on the way to her concert in Boston. She couldn’t remember seeing Jen so happy. Leslie didn’t realize that her arrival could cause so much attention, but reporters from all media were waiting for her. The beginning of her concert tour got very good reviews. She suggested her husband, Brad, asked her sister Lorie to come to her New York debut and talked to the Maestro about the job as publicist with the orchestra because they were grateful that she gave up writing the book that very much paralleled their lives – a concert pianist, who had been in a mental institution, with a writer sister and they both vied for the handsome doctor who had given up his profession. Lorie decided to accompany Brad who was going to the concert, since Jed backed out as her escort, telling Brad she had an appointment their anyway. Jed arrived to take her to the airport, but Lorie said she was going with Brad and he should go home to his pregnant wife. Jed let it drop that Betty lost the baby 4 months ago, and 2 months later they were divorced, after telling her that since Leslie, not Brad, was responsible for the offer of concert publicist, she should drop all thought of having the book published. In New York, Lorie visited Mr. Park, her published, who read the final chapters she brought with her and then said they had to be changed because the ending wasn’t consistent with the character development. He insisted that it wasn’t the writer who got the man, but the concert pianist. Lorie explained how she meant all this and refused to change it since it was her story based on fictional characters. Mr. Park said they would tear up the contract and she could return the $5.000 advance. Since Lorie was beginning to feel badly, she had decided this might be for the best. She visited the Maestro and liked, but had committed herself to, the job, yet. Stuart, Leslie’s father, called Brad to say that since Jennifer, his estranged wife, wasn’t coming, he and Leslie’s youngest sister, Peggy, would arrive for the concert and meet them in the hotel suite, just as Jennifer called Leslie to say she and Bruce – Jen’s lover and Stuart’s one-time best friend – would come for the debut and were invited to the suite. Snapper Foster suggested that Chris use her modeling money to go to New York for the debut. Jen, Bruce, Stuart and Peggy arrived early and were shouting at each other as Lorie arrived. She told them to be quiet because this was Leslie’s debut and nothing had to spoilt it. Accidentally, Lorie slammed the door on Leslie’s fingers. Nothing seemed to be broken, but she couldn’t play the piano. Brad wrapped and packed them in ice because Leslie refused to give up the concert. Lorie blamed herself and was sure that Leslie did also, but Leslie said it was only an accident. The swelling went down and Leslie’s concert was beautiful. At the party afterward, Leslie sang and theatrical agent Eric Bronson asked her to get in touch with him. Bronson later called, wanting to speak to Leslie about her career, but she asked Lorie to see him and find out what he wanted. Jed flied in to convince Lorie that if she didn’t rewrite the last chapters or refund the $5.000, Park Bros. would sue her. Lorie received a commitment from Brad for the money, but during the interview with Bronson, who refused to talk business with Lorie, Mr. Park called to inform Lorie that his superiors had decided to publish the book as it was. Before the hearing to determine who actually was Mrs. Phillip Chancellor, Ruth, the housekeeper who was with Kay Chancellor the night she signed the divorce papers, told everyone that Mrs. Chancellor was not intoxicated. So Greg Foster, Jill Foster Chancellor’s brother and lawyer, was sure that the case would be dismissed. Van Richmond, Kay’s attorney, finally cornered Brock, Kay’s son, who didn’t want to testify and would commit himself to no opinion before the hearing. Richmond told Greg that there was no chance the suit would be dropped, so Jill had to come to the hearing. Kay testified that she was drunk because she found an empty vodka bottle beside her and didn’t know that Phillip, her then husband, had been there. Greg suggested that if she was drunk, then Phillip was a scoundrel and tricked her, but Kay protested. Brock fenced with Richmond while being questioned and said his mother could have been asleep when he came. Ruth was called and said she was there when Mrs. Chancellor signed the papers and finally admitted that Mrs. Chancellor had been drinking a lot and she told Brock that his mother had passed out, but Greg brought out that the bottle was empty and Mrs. Chancellor passed out when Brock arrived 3 or 4 hours after she had signed the papers. The judge said he would consider all the facts and give them a decision. Both sided knew that it could go either way. Bill Foster, Jill’s seriously ill father, heard about the lawsuit and visited Mrs. Chancellor in her hotel room telling her how much Phillip really loved Jill and that if she would drop the lawsuit so that Jill could remain Phillip’s widow, she could have the estate and the inheritance to which Kay finally agreed, but Jill refused this, since she could never visit Phillip’s grave on the estate. Kay called to say she had changed her mind and would not drop the suit. Brock refused to see his mother, so Kay went to him promising to give up living in the past including the suit if Brock would help her. Richmond called to say the verdict would be in at 10:00 in the morning, but Brock told Kay she was to tell the judge that she was dropping the suit first. In court, Kay sat silently when Brock said she wanted to address the judge. After reciting all the evidence, the judge found that Kay, not having had a drink for some time, was therefore susceptible. The divorce and marriage were invalid. After threatening Kay, Jill was informed that she had 10 days to move off her property. Bill Foster told the family that Mrs. Chancellor promised to let Jill visit the grave, so they should all move out. Chris, against Snapper’s wishes, was going to do some modelling to help the family. Bill was touched when Snapper called him “Dad.” Jill was having Phillip’s grave moved to a small cemetery when Kay arrived with a court order to stop Jill. Kay would have Jill put in jail if she set foot on the property.

I know this was for Adam and Nicole in EON but who were the characters involved in Passions ?

I enjoyed both 2002 and 2003 episodes. The show was declining but still very much watchable. It was a mistake to write Isabella in a corner. She could have stayed much longer and kept Paul's character interesting. With a solid recast of course because Eva Longoria wouldn't have stayed long. I liked the interactions in the 2003 episode. I wish they had worked more on Lauren as a cougar with Raul. He was so hoooot. I was crazy about him as a teenager ahah. Just wished they had the party at the Colonnade like in good old days. I love the ranch but the set was tiny for a big party like this.

I have no idea ... may I ask you where you found this ? It is wonderful !

Tad Martin, heeding Mary Martin’s screams to run, as she wrestled with an escaped convict, managed to call Joe Martin at the hospital. When Joe, with Jeff in toe, arrived at the apartment, they found Mary on the floor, shot three times. They rushed her to the hospital, where all efforts to save her failed. Jeff, her husband, was devastated, unable to believe anything so awful could happen to one as lovely and warm as Mary. Jeff wouldn’t allow anyone to straighten up the apartement, and found himself unable to cope, even with Tara’s help. His father, Joe, told Jeff the best remedy for his pain was work and persuaded Jeff to go back to work, but Jeff found it difficult to concentrate, despite the image of Mary telling him to practice his profession. His vision was interrupted by Dr. Frank Grant, and when Grant left, Jeff called for Mary desperately. Mary, before her death, had given the police enough information to enable them to catch her killer. Hal Short, greatly tempted by Phoebe Tyler’s offer of a great sum of money for any information from Kitty Shea’s p ast that would stop Kitty’s wedding to Phoebe’s son, Lincoln, decided to reject Phoebe’s offer. Linc and Kitty’s wedding brought bittersweet memoried for Anne Tyler and Paul Martin and for Tara Tyler and Phil Brent. Claudette Montgomery noticed the looks between Anne and Paul. After the ceremony, as Phoebe was passing through the reception line, she pretended to faint, thus keeping Charles from the reception at Mona Kane’s house. Mona, Charles’ secretary, and Charles had been seeing each other, to Phoebe’s chagrin. Linc and Kitty went off to Canada for an idyllic honeymoon, slightly tainted at the end by a call from Phoebe, who was drunk, crying because she was alone and frightened, especially after what happened to Mary. The line went dead, and when Linc was unable to reach Phoebe, he traced Charles to Mona’s, where he asked Charles to check on Phoebe. Charles was repelled by Phoebe’s drunken condition, and prepared to leave after sobering her up, but stayed the night after Phoebe appealed to him on a patient-doctor level. Mona was beginning to admit to herself that she loved Charles, and was finding it difficult to accept Charles’ stance that he still had responsibilited to Phoebe until their slip was more permanent, a step he was beginning to contemplate, especially since Mary’s tragic death, which had made everyone aware of how short life really was. Nick David, aware that Anne was still in love with Paul, urged Anne to fight for Paul. Paul took Anne home from the hospital the night of Mary’s death. He told Anne that when he lost her, he lost the best part of himself. Anne, however, refused to commit herself, not wanting to be the cause of his marriage breaking up. Paul went to Oregon on business, but before he left, he told Anne he wanted to talk when he returned, calling her during the trip to remind her. Anne told Linc the situation when he returned from his honeymoon, and he told her that Paul’s marriage was already over, that she had be breaking up nothing. Claudette Montgomery, Margo Martin’s daughter, hinted to Margo that Anne might be in Oregon with Paul. Margo checked it out under the pretense of checking with Anne about a line of men’s toiletried and was relieved that Claudette was wrong. Claudette was with Anne when a bouquet of roses from Paul arrived, and was snide. Anne threw her out. Paul called, telling her he was done early, and asked Anne to meet him in New York that night to talk. Margo, meanwhile, was planning a second honeymoon for Paul and herself when Claudette told her about Anne’s flowers. Drunk again, Phoebe had a vicious argument with Claudette – who called Phoebe a “lush” – ordering Claudette out. Phoebe then called Linc saying she would kill herself if he didn’t come to her. As it was his first real time with Kitty since returning from their honeymoon, Linc asked Anne to take over, which she did, foregoing joining Paul. Linc later checked with Anne and finding what she had planned, he sent her off. Paul, after fighting disappointment that Anne wasn’t there to greet him, was ecstatic when she arrived. Erica Brent manipulated her husband Phil into saying they could have a baby in 6 months, but nobody was more affected by the fleetingness of life than Phil, and he told his mother, Ruth Martin, he was going to tell Tara he knew her son was his, not Chuck’s, despite Ruth’s warning of possible bad effects on little Philip. Erica, meanwhile, rejoiced to her mother, Mona, that she was glad she hadn’t told Phil she knew little Philip was his because Phil might have left her. Phil took a hamper of food to Jeff’s apartment, where Tara was helping him sort Mary’s things. Jeff couldn’t take anymore and sent Tara off with Phil. Chuck was at a convention in New York, so instead of taking Tara home, Phil took her to the chapel where they exchanged vows before he left for Vietnam. There he told Tara he knew her son was his, and Tara admitted she had never stopped loving him. They spent the night together, deciding to tell their families and Chuck that they wanted to marry. At Phil’s request, Nick covered for him with Erica. The following day, Tara told Ruth more than she should and called Phil, who made an excuse to Erica and went right over. Tara called Joe and asked him to come to her apartment, since she and Phillip realized they had to tell Ruth and Joe before Chuck. Joe was furious, telling them he couldn’t condone their plans, but Phil and Tara remained adamant. At home with Ruth, Joe accused her of betraying him and being a poor wife for not warning him. When Phil explained the situation to Nick, Nick encouraged Phil to fight for his son. Kitty, intending to keep working after her moneymoon, was angry with Margo for putting in Hal Short’s toiletries line, and putting her in charge. Margo was surprised at Kitty’s vehemency, so Kitty felt compelled to back down and agreed. Claudette and Hal had been seeing a lot of each other, but Claudette was upset when Hal refused to help her make a drug connection, warning her to stay away from it. Claudette then tried to connect through Danny, a man she picked up at the movies, telling him money was no object, so, despite Hal’s warnings, Claudette made her connection. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Beatrice Gordon, the Corys’ housekeeper had agreed to allow Police Lt. Gil McGowan to investigate the disappearance of her daughter Jennifer several years ago. Gil managed to locate Sharon Miller, Jenny’s roommate at college, who had received Christmas cards from Jenny every year except this last one. Sharon regretted not knowing the name of the boy Jenny was involved with as she was sure Jenny loved him deeply. Bea and Sharon found they knew different sides of Jenny – Bea saw her a towboy; Sharon as a self-contained young man who dated many men on campus. Willis Frame hid his fury at his sister-in-law Alice’s announcement that Vic Hastings would run Frame Enterprises and move into the executive office Willis had been using. He refused Alice’s offer of Steve’s apartment upstairs from the offices at first, feeling it was a consolation prize, but reconsidered and moved in making sure Alice believe he wholeheartedly accepted the decision as best for the company. He made a big show of working hand-in-hand with Vic. Architect Carol Lamonte tried to incite Willis against Vic’s taking over but Willis, while enjoying her support, made it clear that he made his own decisions. When Angie Perrini, Willis’ secretary and girlfriend, accidentally left Vic’s confidential file drawer open, Willis surreptitiously went through it and stole one of the letters. Vic Hastings told Lenore Delaney’s mother, Helen Moore, that Lenore forwarded divorce papers to be given to Robert along with the message that she loved Robert and so wanted to set him free. No one knew that Vic assisted Lenore in her break with her past and recent move to Washington D.C. Lenore was terribly afraid that somebody had found out her first husband Walter Curtis was a murderer. She feared this knowledge would destroy her son, Wally. Learning about the divorce action, Robert proceeded to get drunk and never showed up to make his speech as architect of the Cory complex at the complex opening. He bitterly told his attorney Barbara Weaver it was not fair that he had no chance to face Lenore over this but realizing it was futile, he signed consent. Robert continue to drink heavily. Alice reminded Vic that in addition to Robert’s having been Steven’s best friend, Robert had counted on the supermarket project, which Carol got, and she felt the Pendleton Museum architectural contract should go to Robert. Vic agreed but told Alice he had reservations about Robert’s being able to handle it due to his personal problems. Robert, pleased to be awarded the Pendleton Museum project, was determined to pull himself together. But Carol, who wanted this project, was furious and went to Robert saying he got it as a charity case, his friends feared he was hitting bottom and Vic was risking this because he was secretly in love with Lenore. Robert threw Carol out, but her words echoed in his head and he started drinking again. Willis made it clear to all concerned he thought Robert was a has been and predicted dire results on the museum. Willis took pleasure in heaping abuse on Robert’s preliminary sketches, drawings Robert knew weren’t good. Robert realized something was wrong – he did not remember making the revisions on the sketches or even seemed to recognize his own handwriting. He was growing desperate and drinking steadily. Carol told her attorney, Scott Bradley, recently arrived from New York, that she wanted him to use his friendship with Lowell Pendleton to sway him into giving her the museum contract instead of Robert. However, Mac Cory told Scott that Carol did not do the innovative work on the Cory complexe, she just tried hard to make everyone think she did. Alice Frame was determined to go ahead with her adoption of young orphan Sally Spencer despite the death of her husband Steven. A case worker will visit for several months and the search for Sally’s relatives had to continue before adoption could be finalized. Alice seemed oversolicituous for Sally’s safety and worried constantly about her swimming in the pond Willis built for her and climbing trees. Barbara Weaver’s steady dating with Dr. Dave Gilchrist came to an abrupt end when Dave suggested that as two adults who lead rather lonely lives he would like her to move in with hm. She made it clear she was shocked that he felt she would even consider it. But he replied that she was so afraid of being hurt she couldn’t accept being wanted. Barbara accepted a dinner invitation from Robert but made it clear to her boss John Randolph it was just a friendly gesture. Barbara was disquieted when John then pointed out Barbara dropped men whenever they began to become more than just friends. Under college student Chris Pearson’s tutelage, Marianne Randolph’s school work had improved dramatically and she was preparing to take entrance exams for Bay City College. Since Chris and Marianne were following the rules – they couldn’t study alone, etc. – John gave Marianne permission to go to Chris’ friend’s engagement party at the country club. However, Marianne was apprehensive about a party where everytone was older than she and suggested instead a drive to the lake. Chris was willing, under the condition she got her father’s prior permission but, sure John wouldn’t allow it, Marianne allowed Chris to believe John agreed until the evening was over. Chris then told Marianne he was very serious about her and therefore they had to tell her father the truth to prove that they levelled with him. However, Marianne procrastinated for a week and when she finally told John he became furious at Chris inisisting Chris instigated the change in plans and that Marianne was only protecting Chris. When John made it clear he believed he couldn’t trust either Marianne or Chris, Marianne, feeling that her father expected the worst of her, moved to her grandfather, Jim Matthews’ home. Pat, Marianne’s mother, tried to show John he was being unreasonable in his dislike of Chris and distrust of Marianne, but John felt he was acting in her best interests. John took Marianne to dinner and after really listening to her, began to admit she was growing up. When he told her he would mend fences with Chris, Marianne decided to move back home. John and Chris had lunch together and John began to realize Chris was a fine young man. When Adam McGowan told Dr. Russ Matthews that Iris Carrington, his fiancee, had broken up her father Mac’s marriage to Ada’s daughter Rachel by hiring Phillip Wainwright to come between Mac and Rachel, Russ didn’t want to believe the woman he loved could be capable of such treachery. However, Clarice had shown him the check Iris gave her to keep quiet about the plot and so Russ acceded to Ada’s plea for fairness and confronted Iris with the story of Clarice and the check. Iris insisted Clarice was promiscuous and she gave her the check to get poor Phillip out of her clutches. Iris told Clarice’s boss, Mr. Edwards, at the Steak House that Clarice used her job to meet men to support her and then blackmailed them. Afraid of big trouble, Edwards fired Clarice on the spot. Neal Johnson who had been dating Clarice confronted Iris who promised to get Clarice’s job back if she returned the check. Realizing the importance of the check, Neal urged Russ to see Phillip and hear his side of the story. Phillip confirmed everything Ada told Russ and added Cynthia Whitfield could confirm it as she recommended him to Iris for this job. Russ confronted Iris on her deceit, outlining her schemes and falsehoods. She desperately tried to lie her way out of it but when he started to call Cynthia, trapped, Iris hysterically screamed, “All right. I did it! Are you satisfied?” She tien insisted that it was entirely to protect Mac and she could make it up to him, Russ, when they were married. Russ painfully told her she was a spoiled woman who used the people she claimed to love and told her they would never be married. As he turned to leave, she hysterically screamed, “Noooo” and collapsed in convulsive sobs. Russ and Neal agreed Ada should tell Mac immediately, but Mac had left on a fishing trip in Canada. Sybil Wakefield, Iris’ jet-set friend from New York arrived in Bay City and immediately began snooping to get at the bottom of Mac’s breakup with Rachel and Iris’ broken engagement. Iris was desperate that Sybil not find out the truth and was constantly avoiding her. Clarice couldn’t find a job. Edwards had blacklisted her all over town. She wouldn’t let Neal loan her money, especially after Iris’ accusations, so he persuaded her to move into the room Willis had just vacated until she was back on her feet – a no strings attached relationship. Clarice was thrilled when Mac offered her a position as a receptionist at the Cory Complex. Sybil was putting bits and pieces together and asked Phillip if Iris didn’t break up Mac’s marriage because of her obsession with her father. Sybil recalled that even in college Iris had always been over the edge about “her daddy.” Louise Goddard, Iris’ secretary, tried to convince Russ to see Iris pleading she didn’t intentionally mean to hurt Mac, she was a confused child underneath it all. Russ refused, offering to have Dr. Dave Gilchrist see Iris again. David, who grew up in the same social circles as Iris, was concerned about her mental state and dropped in on her often. Phillip informed Clarice and Neal he had to leave town as he had a legitimate job as a riding instructor in Arizona. He told Clarice loving her made the difference in his life. Learning Mac was coming home, Iris camped out in his living room, managing to make sure she saw him alone first. Immediately upon his arrival, she tried to convince Mac to move to her house but Russ arrived with Clarice before she could accomplish this and they showed Mac the check. As Mac began to realize the truth at last, Iris seeing his fury at her became hysterical and brokenly walked out. Mac told Ada that he was determined to win Rachel back, but Ada reminded him that Rachel’s valued had changed, and that she wouldn’t settle for less that she had with him. Mac later told Iris he would love Rachel until he died and could never look at her, Iris, again. Iris, in deep terror of social, as well as personal disgrace, begged Russ to take her back, saying she wouldn’t bear to have her friends know she had been jilted; she offered him a quickie divorce and settlement if he would marry her. Disguster, he left saying never. Worsening matters, another jet setter, Loretta Simpson arrived at Iris’ bent upon learning all. Rachel returned to Ada’s explaining she had been living in a cabin in the mountains where she was free to think. She had come to pick up her son Jamie and planned to go right back. She was quiet and composed upon learning Mac knew the truth but refused to call him. “I’d rather be alone,” she said, “than to go through again what I have just gone through.” She said she loved Mac too much and he didn’t love her enough or he would have trusted her. Since Rachel wouldn’t call Mac, Ada called him and stalled Rachel until he arrived. He begged Rachel to stay and work it out insisting he never stopped loving her. She admitted she still loved him, but couldn’t live with a man who did not trust her. Mac begged for another chance, insisting he could handle his jealousy, but Rachel replied what they had was special and it no longer was. She painfully explained her whole world was him, she never loved anyone the way she loved him and it hurt so much to have it all destroyed. Rachel explained she lied sometimed to keep from losing what she had. Mac said he could help her but she relied he couldn’t and she couldn’t keep him from being jealous. When he asked if they couldn’t live with their faults, Rachel replied “I don’t want less than what we had.” Only when Mac pleaded that she had to stay for Jamie’s sake as Jamie had come to see him as a father, did Rachel agree to think further on it. Mac vowed he would win her back again. Hopinto to at least salvage her social standing in New York, Iris was undone to overhear Sybil telling via long distance that Iris had been jilted and was in a decline. Iris furiously order Sybil to leave immediately or be thrown out. Loretta tried to soothe Iris by telling her Dave Gilchrist’ attention to her was more than just professional. Iris stormed into Mac’s home pleading he had to not punish her any longer. Mac told her he was too permissive with her as a child and tried to show her her obsession with him destroyed her marriage, her engagement and he, like Russ, had to escape her to save himself. But when she hysterically cried “Rachel has turned you against me”, Mac’s concern turned again to rage and he ordered her out. The following day, Mac brought Rachel roses saying they got married so fast they never got to know each other first. Mac courted Rachel with dinner dates and when he furthered his pleas with kisses and embraced, Rachel responded to him, admitting how much she had missed him and went home with her husband. Mac asked Rachel if she would like a baby like Nancy, her half-sister. Rachel radiantly replied more than anything in the world. Disconsolate at Mac’s reconciliation, Iris swallowed all the sleeping tablets Dave prescribed for Louise to dole out to her. She then called Dave to thank him for an easy way out. Dave rushed over, pumped her stomach and walked her all night. Iris begged Mac not be told – she couldn’t stand his pity. Rachel, learning of the suicide attempt by a slip of Louise’s tongue, tried to soften Mac’s heart toward Iris, but Mac explained closeness to Iris risked his own happiness. Finding Loretta gossiping long distance about Iris, Louise virtually shipped her back to New York. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore Grant Colman was preoccupied with a newspaper photo of a small boy claimed by his ex-wife Joyce to be his son. Grant considered this to be another lie until Lisa suggested it could be true. After considering the letters “OMI” on the back of the clipping, and listening to the tape Joyce made under sodium penthothal in which Joyce said she didn’t visit her friend Sue in Laramie because she hadn’t seen her since high school, but then said the word “hospital,” Grant concluded that she could have gone to Laramie, Wyoming to have the baby. Lisa asked Grant to look at a house she had seen that would be perfect for them, but later was disappointed to hear it had been taken. When Grant asked her about the house she made excuses so Grant wouldn’t feel badly about not having time to see it, and then learned Grant was the one who had rented it. Lisa was talking about when they’d move when Grant broke the news that he was going personally to Laramie. After a suspicious feeling, Lisa visited her doctor who confirmed she was pregnant, but due to complications, he was not sure she could carry full term. She decided to keep the news of her pregnancy a secret from Grant, because although Joyce wrote him saying there was no baby, he didn’t believe it. Tom Hughes asked Natalie Bannon to marry him and when she accepted, he announced it at the family’s 4th of July picnic. Lisa felt that the sense of completeness that Tom and Natalie had just mean Natalie was trying to cut everyone out. Jay Stallings and Natalie had a hard time understanding the close relationship between Carol, Jay’s wife, and Lisa, her ex mother-in-law, but Tom said if it came to a choice between Natalie and his mother, he would have to choose Natalie. Lisa felt Natalie was too private a person and Jay felt Natalie was hiding something. Natalie saw Jay come out Susan Stewart’s apartment building late one night with lipstick on his cheek, claiming to have been to a business meeting. One evening Carol told Jay that she had been in the bookstore when a couple came in and thought Natalie was a Mrs. Ralph Porter from Kilborne, Pennsylvania, visibly upsetting Natalie. Pa Hughes called the family together for what they expected would be the announcement of his coming marriage to Mrs. Kopecki, but turned out to be an invitation to dinner on Saturday because they were already married in a quiet ceremony with no fuss. The whole family gathered when Pa left for his honeymoon at his brother’s farm. There was much tension when Jennifer Hughes was selected to attend a heart association conference in Cleveland, because she had to leave her daughter, Frannie, for a week. Even though Dan Stewart tried to show Bob that Jennifer had professional need just as he did, Bob missed the point and furthered insulted her by asking her to give up her conference and attend his with him in August. Nancy, Bob’s mother, made it clear that she thought Jennifer was shirking her responsibility when asked to take care of Frannie for the week, but then told Jennifer she would when Bob explained that Jennifer really loved both Frannie and her job. But after everything was settled, Jennifer found she couldn’t really leave Frannie after all. Bob’s ex-wife, Sandy Garrison, was in town separated form her new husband and reluctant to talk about it to anyone but Bob. She told over lunch, after a frantic call, that Norman seemed like such a gentleman, but she saw his other side. She would gladly give up all her interest in their cosmetic business, but she knew he’d never let her go and he would soon trace her there to Oakdale. After much fear over little Emmy Stewart, her temperature was finally going down. Dan told his ex-wife Susan that she should be sure she didn’t want to drink anymore as she was on her feet again. Kim Dixon, who would soon marry Dan, was leaving for Nevada the following week to get divorce from John. As John’s ankle was in good enough shape that he could walk with a cane, he was back at his medical practice, but told Dan that Susan’s problem was that Dan was going to marry Kim and it wasn’t helping him either. Dr. David Steward was going to ask the hospital board to take Susan back, but Susan called Dan when she got drunk again after spending the evening with Jay. John visited Kim telling her that if she married Dan it might destroy Susan. Kim was crushed when she heard this put into words, even though she had known it all along. Dan lashed out at Kim because he felt John was just trying to get Kim back. John tried to help Kim later by saying that Susan had always caused her own problems. Dan, unable to sleep, was just about to call Kim when Susan called, desperate for a drink. Dan talked to her until the urge left, but Kim, calling Dan, couldn’t get through. The following morning, she called her sister, Jennifer, and wrote Dan a note explaining that she had to get away for a few days by herself, but would let Jennifer know where she was staing. Dan told John that between them, they had forced her out of town. John replied he would do anything to win Kim back. Susan was upset to find that John had used her to his own advantage. Days Of Our Lives Written by: Pat Falken Smith Produced by: Betty Corday Linda Patterson Phillips was badly shaken when Marty Hansen – Mickey Horton, who was still suffering from post-heart surgical amnesia – uninvited her to the farm explaining he couldn’t escape from his past if he took it with him, that he and his wife Maggie needed to be alone. Linda painfully confessed that since Marty told her about his increasingly frequent memory flashes, she had to know if as his memory returned, he would still be Marty who loved Maggie or the Mickey she still loved so much. Marty again assured her that his whole life was Maggie. The Hansens found therapy equipment and an encouraging note from Tom and Alice Horton, Mickey’s parents, awaiting them in Brookeville and Maggie conscientiously performed her therapy in the tranquil surrounding of her own home. Linda accepted Jim’s remarriage proposal and they drove up to tell Maggie and Marty they would remarry in a month. Maggie, meanwhile, tormented by visions of Mickey and Linda’s affair years ago, failed from the parallel bars and was found unconscious. She was hospitalized with a slight concussion. Maggie asked Linda to stay for a few days. Realizing it would be good for Maggie, Marty agreed, but privately told Linda he would otherwise prefer she leave, as being alone with Maggie in Brookeville had stopped the flashbacks and put his life in order again. Linda assured Marty she planned to be a good wife to Jim and would cause no trouble. Immediately following Jim Warner’s death in surgery, Dr. Greg Peters showed Jim’s angiograms to Dr. Tom Horton. They both agreed surgery should have been done 3 months ago and Greg insisted Tom open an investigation of negligence on the part of Dr. Neil Curtis. Amanda Howard, Neil’s ex-finacee, with whom Greg was in love, overheared and tried to persuade Greg not to destroy Neil. Tom visited Cynthia Warner who told him Neil gave Jim excellent, devoted care and often forgot to send the bill. She explained Jim’s father and brother died in an open-heart surgery and Jim felt he would also die if he had surgery. Tom was moved by her faith in and vindication of Neil. Greg informed Neil he had started an investigation. Neil warned Greg he would fight to the finish for the practice and his woman. Amanda was upset that Tom would investigate Neil based on Greg’s resentful charges, but Tom convinced her he was doing it to help Neil, as Neil’s professional problems might be destroying hom. Understanding Tom’s intent, Amanda told him of the poker establishment Neil frequented. Deciding on a course of action, Tom contacted the gambling pro and that night Neil was shocked to find Tom sitting in on his game. Tom played a pushing game and luckily managed to win. Neil was the big loser. Late that night Tom told Greg he couldn’t press charges against Neil; he was a sick man, a compulsive gambler, and needed help. When Greg insisted on going ahead, Tom asked if he was that lacking in compassion or that much in love with Amanda. Tom later told Amanda that Neil was a compulsive gambler who actually had to lose and it could probably be traced back to problems of lacks in his childhood. Neil told Amanda he was going to pick up the pieces of his life by himself, that he wasn’t the man she needed, but asked if she would be there when he had made it back to the kind of man she should have. He later added he had to face the fact that a had a gambling problem and planned to quit cold turkey, but needed her help and support when the going got rough. Amanda agreed as long as Neil allowed to let friendship go both ways and accept a loan of $10.000 towards the $20.000 marker J.R., the gambling pro, held. But as soon as Amanda left, he called the pro arranging a seat in that night’s game. Amanda told Tom that Neil seemed determined to cure himself and she trusted his resolve. Tom seemed doubtful explaining a compulsive gambler had need to lose, to be self-destructive. Neil lost $5.000 more and was upset when J.R. wouldn’t advance additional credit. Finding Tom covering with his patients – the game was not over until morning -, Neil made excuses about oversleeping, a rural patient, etc. Tom had already spoken to J.R. and when Neil insisted he hadn’t gambled since the night he played with Tom, Tom asked, “When are you going to stop lying. I just called J.R.” Tom then told Neil he was going to use the money he won to apply to Neil’s losses and that he discouraged Greg’s negligence charge because “you don’t throw the book at a doctor who’s sick himself.” Desperate to play again, Neil conned Amanda into giving him $10.000 more, ostensibly to pay off all debts once and for all. However, Greg, visiting Neil to say he was dropping the charges, discovered Neil was playing that night. Greg took Amanda to dinner, then parked in front of the poker club preparing her for bitter disappointment. She insisted Neil was not there, he couldn’t be. Neil meanwhile had won heavily. Amanda was devastated to see him leave. Greg told her she couldn’t help Neil and had to break away from him before he destroyed her. Greg offered her his help and his love. Shortly after Greg left her apartment, Neil showed up claiming he was not coming from a poker table, but a medical house call. Finding Eric babysitting with little Annie, Greg told his brother there appeared to be a pull between him and his daughter and therefore, probably between him and Susan, also, suggesting he, Greg, wasn’t totally responsible for his marital split-up with Susan – Susan and Greg’s daughter, Annie, was actually Eric and Susan’s child, a result of that one night in the park -. Greg sublet an ultramod bachelor pad. Finding Amanda at Greg’s nex place, Susan, unable not to, apologetically asked Amanda if there was anything between her and Greg. Amanda assured her they were just friends. Tom told Susan she had to accept Greg as Annie’s father if she was to make anything of her marriage, but Susan, discovering Eric was dating Amanda, found she was jealous of Eric seeing another woman. Greg told Susan he wanted a total separation at present and he would not be visiting Annie. Doug Williams’ new quarters behind his nightclub Doug’s Place were finished, complete with the room his late wife Addie had planned for their child, Hope. Doug had nearly despaired of finding a suitable person to care for Hope until Rebecca North, a young, attractive woman, replied to his ad and Doug immediately hired her without checking references. Robert LeClair, Doug’s close friend and relief singer at Doug’s Place, talked with Rebecca about their mutual love of children, but the subject was apparently painful to her. Rebecca was dismayed to run into Neil who reminded her she never kept her last appointment. She explained she had to put the pieces together and the past behind her. Neil, noticing she couldn’t refer to the past without tears, cautioned her not to get too involved with Hope as a surrogate mother. Rebecca was trying to keep her personal life separate from her job but her boyfriend, Johnny Collins, a commercial artist, who couldn’t find work, bitterly noted she was paying the rent on their apartment but was only there one day a week. He showed up at Doug’s Place introducing himself as her finace to a crestfallen Robert and ignoring her insistence that place was off limits, went to the bar determined to meet Doug. When Bob Anderson, over his wife Julie’s objections, insisted his ex-wife Phyllis would redecorate his office, Phyllis was thrilled, but their daughter Mary came down on Bob about once more keeping Phyllis tied to him, being a crutch so she didn’t have a make a life for herself Julie Anderson was crushed to learn from her son David’s fiancee, Brooke that David often went off on drinking benders. And these episodes were becoming more frequent. David was rarely home at all. Attorney Don Craig told Julie his investigation of Brooke showed nothing about her parents, yet she always attended expensive schools. Brooke overheard Doug and Julie talking about the happy memoried they shared and Julie telling Doug that Bob had finally accepted she was having his child but adding the baby could have been Doug’s and should have been – Julie and Doug were romantically involved before he married her mother Addie and she subsequently married Bob Anderson. – Brooke then ingenuously told Julie in front of Don that Julie was glowing from carrying “a love child.” Julie made light of it, correcting the term, but Don, furious, later told Brooke he could see through her. He later tried to warn Bob, who refused to believe Brooke would hurt Julie. Brooke, meanwhile, self-righteously ran to Phyllis saying she couldn’t contain herself any longer. She called Julie’s baby a love child because she overheard a conversation between Julie and the man she believed was the baby’s father. Phyllis tried to tell Bob that Julie’s baby wasn’t his. He stonily told her she was wrong. Hearing this allegation from Phyllis, Neil insisted it was not true – he was Julie’s doctor – and under pressure Phyllis admitted Brooke told her she knew who the real father was. Neil caught up with Brooke on the terrace of Julie’s home during a family party asking “How dare you tell Phyllis you overheard Julie talking with the “real” father of her child?” Brooke insisted she did overhear a conversation proving Bob was not the father. To be sure Neil called Doug aside and told him about the rumor going around. He asked if there was any possibly the baby was his. Doug replied he wished to God it was, but it was not. Neil then took Brooke aside once more and told her either she called Phyllis explaining the story was untrue, or he would tell David what she had done which would end their relationship. Brooke was furious, but realizing Neil meant it, called Phyllis and told she made up the story. However, after the call, Brooke angrily told Neil she was still sure Julie’s baby wasn’t Bob’s, and Bob, walking by the room, overhead this. Bob tried to pretend nothing was wrong but, tormented, wondered if Julie could have done that to him. When Brooke later told Bob about David’s drinking, implying this was the only one of many secrets Julie had kept from him, Bob told Brooke outright that the baby Julie was carrying was his and she didn’t play games about things like that. Brooke called Phyllis back saying a man close to Julie threatened her into saying what she did, but the story about Julie was true. Having convinced Phyllis of her sincerity and concern for her and Bob, Brooke congratulated herself on one of her better performances. Phyllis convinced Bob to meet her at the Lake Side Bar where he again told her Julie wouldn’t lie to him about the baby. But, returning to the party, Bob broached David’s drinking problem to Julie. When Julie admitted she hid the problem so not to hurt Bob, he asked to what lengths would she go not to hurt him and asked if the baby she was carrying was his or someone else’s. Julie was shocked at the question as she felt they had this problem settled at the time of their reconciliation. In tears she assured him she never slept with another man all the time they were married, even though she tried to get Don Craig to make love to her. Don refused because of her reasons. She told Bob it was his baby but she wished it belonged to any man in this world but him. Doug was stunned when later that night Julie walked into Doug’s Place with a suitcase, stating, “I have moved out on Bob.” As Doug held her to comfort her, Bob walked in. Julie angrily made it clear to Bob, “I’ll be damned if I’ll go home with you.” She guessed that Brooke started the rumor and Bob confirmed it. Doug told Bob he and Julie had a relationship years ago and Brooke could have misinterpreted remarks he and Julie made about raising Hope. But Julie walked out and went to Don Craig’s apartment, finding Mary Anderson there. Mary left, obviously upset that Julie broke up her evening with Don Craig. But Phyllis admitted to Mary what she had done and Mary was ashamed, assuring her mother if the baby were another man’s, Julie would not have returned to Bob. Phyllis finally confessed to Mary that they owed Julie on another score. Julie covered the fact that Phylli’s accidental shooting of Mary at the lake last year was actually an aborted attempt by Phyllis to kill Julie. Brooke and David, meanwhile, fought about her attitude towards his mother and his continual drinking. Brooke insisted she was miserable because she loved him so much, and couldn’t reach him. Julie stayed overnight at Don’s where he offered her hot chocolate, a should to cry on, and sympathy. In the morning, Julie decided to fly to Chicago and follow the scant leads Don had uncovered on Brooke’s family. In Chciago, Julie found Brooke’s mother, Mrs. Hamilton, a janitress, who apparently drank – she offered Julie cooking sherry -, living in a shabby apartement. She explained she worked at the girl’s school and got Brooke in on scholarship but Brooke then refused to acknowledge that she was her mother, claiming her mother was dead. Brooke’s father apparently abandoned them long ago. Julie tactfully gave Mrs. Hamilton plane fare to come to Salem for the wedding when the date was set, explaining it was a gift from her husband. Mrs. Hamilton was pathetically eager to hear about Brooke, she had no idea where she was or anything about David. Julie left for Salem feeling ill and uncomfortable on the plane. Phyllis apologized to Bob saying it was all because she never stopped thinking of Bob as her husband, but was determined to that then. David found a note from Brooke under his door saying her whole world had caught up with her and all she could do was split; that she didn’t know why she said and did the things she did. She added she loved David, but couldn’t cope with his drinking. Bob went to Don’s office to ask about Julie. Don angrily assured Bob that nothing happened between them, as it never had, but wished he were the baby’s father. He admitted the intensity of his love for Julie and added they was a time when he hated Bob, because Bob had everything he wanted, but “You blew it. I don’t hate you anymore Bob. I feel sorry for you.” Don added Bob’s actions indicated guilt over divorcing Phyllis, guilt he was taking out on Julie. David tried to explain to Tom he had a hang-up as if he was two people, one who wanted and needed his mother’s love, and another who rejected it because it haunted him that Mom gave him away. This is why he drank and was a factor in Brooke’s being unable to reach him. Don met Julie’s return flight. In the airport coffee shop she discovered she was hemorrhaging. Tom admitted her to University Hospital where OB Dr. Mel Bailey privately told Tom it didn’t look good. When Julie asked for her son, Doug found him at the lake house and made it clear to David he was the one person Julie needed most. He had to be a man and be there for her. At Julie’s insistence, Bob was not notified and was not on her limited visitors list. The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock Produced by: Joseph Stuart Karen Werner, angry that Carolee Aldrich took Karen’s natural son, Erich, out of town on the day Karen had planned to take Erich to the circus, insisted that she have Erich to herself the following day. Disappointed that the circus tickets couldn’t be exchanged, they went to the zoo, which Erich informed Karen he had done many times. Erich refused to have a good time, angering Karen who called her lawyer, beginning proceeding to get custody of Erich, charging that Carolee was deliberately working to poison the boy’s mind against her. At the same time, Karen asked Matt Powers for a recommendation to a Kingsbury hospital, claiming it was impossible to work under the same roof with Carolee, who was avoiding Karen. Steve and Carolee’s lawyer prepared a rebuttal to Karen’s charges, and arranged for Steve and Karen to meet with the judge before open court proceedings were begun. Carolee was hurt at being excluded, vowing not to let Karen get away with things any more. At the meeting, Judge Bowman explained he would prefer to settle the custody matter out of court to save Erich’s feelings; Noting that Carolee was Erich’s human mother for 4 years, the judge suggested a meeting with her. Karen categorically refused, and the judge didn’t push, asking them to bring Erich for an interview the next day. Karen met with Erich, promising him day camp, a New York trip and attendance at the same school if he lived with her. The judge said he might consider joint custody, which would mean Erich’s bouncing back and forth, but suggested Karent bu given a 3 months temporary custody, following an evaluation. The agreed. Anticipating Carolee’s unhappiness, Ann told Steve not to castigate himself, telling him he did everything he could. Ann Latimer continued to offer solace to Steve, who was warned by Althea that Ann might be too involved. Steve brushed it off, then angrily told Althea to mind her own business. Matt Powers was happy to welcome two new members to the Hope staff – nurse M.J. Match and intern Rico Bellini, Nick Bellini’s nephew. M.J. and Rico celebrated at Pete’s where they observed an argument between Stacy Wells and Andy Anderson, who accused Stacy of teasing him and backing down. Stacy, in tears, inhaled a piece of steak, and was saved from suffocation by Rico’s quick actions. The following day, Rico paid a house call on Stacy to check her resultant sore throat and was observed by Penny Davis, who coyly suggested to Andy that Stacy might be doing him wrong. Stacy, uncharacteristically, kissed Rico passionately to “thank” him for saving her life. She want on to tell him there was more where thar came from and she just wanted fun with no strings. Rico agreed that was all he could handle at the moment. Stacey had been told by Peter Terrell, the errant art professor who drove her away from Baldwin, that she was afraid of sex. To Carolee and then to Toni Powers Stewart, Stacy wondered if losing her virginity might not be the answer. Both warned she might be letting herself in for great pain if she played at sex without love because she was not the type. Despite their warnings, and because of a deep attraction for him, Stacy seduced Rico who was upset because, as a virgin, obviously she wasn’t the type of girl he thought, but assured her she was great. Mike and Matt Powers began a new, closer relationship when Mike told Matt he would accept help in finding a job, and Matt did not condemn Mike’s interests in forensic medicine, but instead said he was proud of Mike for finding his own way. Mike got a job with the medical examiner, realizing he wouldn’t return to Singapore because he still loved Toni. Toni, afraid of losing Michael Paul, agreed to date Mike, so he would come to see how much the baby needed her, not because, as Mike suspected, she still loved him. Alan was incensed. Tom Barrett, conducting lithium experiments similar to those Mike did years before, asked to meet Mike to pick his brains. Mike agreed, then asked Toni out to dinner to review the notebook with her. Meanwhile, Matt urged Toni to set a time limit to the dating. She brought it up at dinner, but Mike asked how one could set a time limit on love. When they returned to Martha’s house, they found Alan there, and Mike and Alan came to blows. Toni and Martha threw both out. Mike asked Maggie to return the engagement and wedding rings he gave Toni, which Maggie had kept. Unwillingly, Maggie did so, reminding Mike that it took more than rings to make a marriage; it took living together, and that was what Toni had with Alan. When Mike saw Toni in Alan’s arms, he realized the truth of Maggie’s statement, and took a new tack to win Toni’s love. He agreed to a time limit – 3 months – if Toni would live with as his wife for that time. If she didn’t love him then, he would not take Michael Paul from her. Alan said there had to be some way to win her freedom other than by sleeping with Mike, and suggested they checked out no fault divorce in California. Toni hedged. Alan’s work was being adversely affected by his worry over Toni, so Matt decided to suspend Alan for a week! Ann and Althea continued at loggerheads over Nick Bellini, who was in Arizona, because Ann couldn’t believe Althea and Nick didn’t love each other still despite Althea’s reassurances. Althea concluded Ann was as neurotic as Nick said when he and Ann broke up. When Ann questioned Althea’s disposition of a patient, Althea attributed it to resentment. The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson After having spent a pleasant and uneventful weekend with Serena Faraday and her 7-year old son Timmy, Adam Drake was disturbed by Serena’s sudden disappearance and was outraged when he found Timmy, terrified by what Adam believed was a child’s fantasy of a dark haired woman who had intentions of harming him, had been left totally alone. Unable to locate Serena, Adam drove miles out of his way to return Timmy to boarding school and then back to Monticello. Brand Henderson, Assistant D.A., and her brother, psychiatrist, Quentin, were equally mystified by Serena’s odd behavior and Brandy was pleased to learn that Adam claimed he has become involved with Serena for the last time. Suddenly Adam was notified by Capitol City police that Serena, who left Adam’s name beside her bed, had been found barely alive in a tenderloin hotel apparently after trying to commit suicide from an overdose of sleeping pills. Adam, reluctant to get involved again, but responding to Brandy’s pressured, returned to Serena’s bedside and discovered she had no idea at all as towhy this happened or where she was after she had said goodbye to Adam after their weekend outing. Serena, appalled to learn about Timmy’s abandonment, admitted these “blackouts” were very serious and should seek professional care. When Mark, Serena’s ex-husband, learned of the suicide attempt, he questioned Adam and announced his plans to take his son away from his “unfit” mother. Mark, caliming he never saw any evidence of blackouts during their years of marriage, insisted Serena only used that as an excuse to have repeated affairs with other men. Serena defended herself to Adam’s inquiries about Mark’s insistence that Timmy’s conception was “clouded,” but admitted she did have a particularly long blackout around that time. Adam, investigating the circumstances of Serena’s attempted suicide, learned from the desk clerk that he saw a dark haired woman enter Serena’s room – Serena had been registered under the name of Ann Smith – and jumped to the conclusion that this might not have been suicide at all but a possible attempting murder. Unknown to everyone, the threatening dark haired woman who played such a mysterious role in Serena’s life was in truth her own self – a dual personality! Josie, the aggressive side of Serena, acted out all this hidden desires the more refined Serena would never think of doing. Josie, who, unlike Serena, was aware of her other side, referred to Serena as her hateful sister and posed a valid threat to Serena’s well-being. It was Josie who had taken up the task of disrupting the marriage of Johnny Dallas and his expectant wife Laurie under the direction and financial support of Gerald Kincaid, sinister underworld mobster. Kincaid, who had a spy network so entrenched that it included Brandy’s private secretary in the D.A.’s office, wanted Mike Karr’s, Head of the Crime Commission, every move watched by his son-in-law John and was using Josie to drive a wedge between the already quarrelling couple. Laurie having had one miscarriage and almost losing this baby too had become overly protective of herself resulting in a widening schism between them. Laurie finally moved from their apartment to her parents’ home where she told Nancy, her mother, about John’s “affair” with another woman who had even had the nerve to phone their apartment. Deciding to go to the New Moon for a possible reconciliation with John, Laurie was further convinced of his infidelity when Josie, seeing Laurie enter, brazenly kissed John. Nancy’s concern for her husband’s safety was reduced somewhat when Mike told of his plans to resign as Head of the Crime Commission because he felt personally responsible for the failure of the Commission to protect the life of their secret wtiness Ernie Casper. Later, he reconsidered when it was pointed out that a resignation would only be cause for a victory celebration among the underworld and he prepared to deal with the unexpected offer of valuable inside information from Walter LePage, a wealthy and respected businessman. After LePage’s bungling, which led to many mob arrests, Kincaid was appointed the new head of the Monticello organization. LePage, fearing for his life and wanting to make a secret deal with Mike, demanded Mike provide immunity, secrecy and assistance in fleeing in return for the names of people only the head of crime could know, but warned their plan had better work or they would both be dead men! Josie, who had taken up residence in Kincaid’s Monticello apartment while working for Kincaid, even had a momentary brush with Adam and Brandy at the New Moon Café, but passed by them, totally unrecognized by Adam. When Serena, suddenly awakening to find herself in this strange apartment, was shaken and bewildered, she went to Adam’s resident hotel where he and Brandy were making plans for a weekend trip and enlisted his help in finding a room in the same hotel. Tracy Dallas was forced to go back to work at her brother’s restaurant as a waitress again when Noel Douglas, fearing Mrs. Geraldine Whitney and Kevin Jamison would expose his unfaithfulness to his new bridge, Tiffany, cut off all future financial support. Danny Micelli who once proposed marriage to Tracy, was overjoyed but sympathetic to Tracy’s loss of what everyone believed was a high playing fashion job. Geraldine’s feigned heart attack successfully ended Kevin’s engagement to Phoebe Smith. Kevin, suspicious after a doctor’s visit, confronted her about the EKG which showed no change from previous one and the perfect timing of her attack in cancelling his marriage. General Hospital Written by: Richard & Suzanne Holland Produced by: Tom Donovan Dr. Joel Stratton, cardiac specialist, was convinced the only solution to save Dr. Steve Hardy and General hospital from a messy, prolonged court battle over a series of malpractice suits that had been brought against him, startling with the Pizzarra case, was to resign immediately. Joel was appalled that in five of the disputed cases, he overlooked glaring symptoms that even a first year med-student could have diagnosed as severe heart problems. With the exception of the Pizzarra case, where even Steve clearly felt the symptoms were too clouded by circumstances to make Joel soley responsible for the fatal misdiagnosis, all the other cases appeared to be inconsistent with Joel’s otherwise highly professional care of patients. Steve “pocketed” Joel’s resignation and, suspicious the files might not be telling the whole truth, left for Los Angeles to interview cardiac nurse Anne Barr who worked with Joel before taking a new job on the coast. Steve and lawyer Lee Baldwin saw a sinister pattern in all the transcripts, which showed Joel as the only doctor who treated and recorded the patient’s history, as being a rather odd coincidence. While Steve was away, Dr. Jim Hobart was asked to join the team of doctors as an investigator into the patients’ case histories on behalf of Stratton. Jim, embittered over what he believed was a raw deal when Joel took away his job as Head of the Cardiac Unit, still refused to face his own failings caused by excessive drinking, both as a doctor and as a husband to Audrey. Jim, successful in obtaining a tape recording of former patient Mr. Harold Lipman’s complaints made in the presence of his lawyer allowed Joel to hear the worst. Joel incisively tuned in on the change in vocabulary between Lipman’s mundane verbiage and his slick recital of medical facts and mentioned it to Margaret Colson, Assistant Administrative Head, but she dashed his hopes by saying prospective malpractice clients were always coached. Kira Faulkner, popular TV newscaster, told Lee that Steve, her former fiancé, had held the story back long enough from the public and that she fully planned to expose Steve’s reluctance to allow Joel’s resignation to be processed and exposed as admissible evidence of his negligence. When Steve returned from L.A. armed with the evidence that nurse Barr gave him, coupled with some startling facts about discrepancies in the hand writing and typing on the case histories. An expert would testify that the typewriter used had only just been bought so that the older case histories couldn’t possibly had been typed on the new machine. Steve confronted the only person who had both access and motive to harm Joel through forged hospital files – Margaret Colson! Although she vehemently denied all knowledge at first, faced with the overwhelming evidence Steve and Lee had comiled, she broke down and finally exposed her hidden grudge of a lover’s rejection. Steve faced her with a possible prison term for forgery and Margaret signed a confession prohibiting her from ever working in any hospital again. Dr. Peter Taylor, the father of the imprisoned Augusta McLeod’s almost due baby, told her in no uncertain terms that he couldn’t allow his wife Diana to adopt the baby. He felt that although one day he would tell Diana about the baby, at present with their only recently newfound happiness, so precious and fragile, after years of struggle, he absolutely would not allow anything to destroy it. Augusta, starting her labor pains alone in her cell, cried out for help but since the prison doctor wasn’t available, the authoritied contacted Peter who arranged to have Augusta’s baby son delivered at General Hospital. With a police guard at her door at all times and the prospect of being hospitalized only a short time before returning to prison, Augusta begged Lee Baldwin to arrange the adoption with a wealthy family, while she read over the “surrender papers” which, when signed, would irrevocably give away her son. Since this was out of his usual line of legal work, he contacted Mrs. Caroline Chandler, a long time friend, who operated an adoption service to find suitable parents for the baby boy. Augusta, who had refused to see the baby, donned her robe and viewing her son in the nursery poignantly bid him all the luck and happiness in life she never had. Cameron Faulkner’s successful proposal of marriage to Dr. Lesley Williams startled the worldwide news services. It wasn’t ofthen that such an handsome, wealthy, powerful, and eligible man decided to remarry and suddenly Lesley found herself catapulted into the high society publicity of Cameron’s jet-set world. When an unsuspecting Lesley opened her door after receiving numerous bridal gifts at a surprise shower in her home, she found her young ulcer patient Felix Buchanan on her threshold. She tried to explain that she was leaving shortly to fly in Cameron’s private jet to Switzerland for her marriage and their brief honeymoon, but the demented Felix informed her that he had come to save the “good, pure Lesley” from the “evil” Faulker and she had not to marry Cam. Arriving to take Lesley to the airport, Cameron became a captive audience to the emotionally ill man who threatened to shoot Cameron if he moved! When Larkin, Cameron’s pilotn phoned a second time about Cameron’s tardiness, Felix gave conflicting answers to questions, alerting Larkin to trouble. He immediately called the police. Lesley, appealing as Felix’s doctor, warned him his severe abdominal pain meant internal bleeding from a perforated ulcer, and he was risking his life with his actions. Cam, attempting to save Lesley’s life, was shot just as the police arrived! Felix, weakened by the loss of blood collapsed and the police rushed in to find Lesley desperately trying to save Cam’s life. The Guiding Light Written by: Bridget & Jerome Dobson Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg Dr. Ed Bauer, Chief of Staff at Cedars Hospital, impatient to return to his duties as both Head Administrator and neurosurgeon, removed the protective sling from his healing arm – Ed’s hand was paralyzed when his emotionally disturbed brother-in-law Ken Norris, who was then institutionalized, shot hom -. Bert Bauer, a little concerned that her son might be rushing his recovery, was nevertheless pleased, and recognized Ed’s need to return to Cedars to begin functioning as a doctor once again even if he couldn’t resume handling the surgeon’s scalpel. The entire family, overjoyed with Ed’s partial recovery, looked eagerly forward to the arrival of Ed and Holly’s first baby. Holly was privately tormented by the knowledge the baby she was carrying was really Roger Thorpe’s. The baby was conceived during the early tempestuous months of her marriage to Ed when they had separate sleeping arrangements. Discovering her pregnancy a month later, Holly made up with Ed and allowed everyone to believe he was the expectant father. When Holly’s roving brother, Andy, returned from Europe to settle down in his mother Barbara and step-father Adam Thorpe’s garden cottage, Holly turned to Andy as the one person she felt she could trust with her secret. He stood by her and supported her emotionally during her pregnancy, developing a close bond between brother and sister. Holly, frightened the baby would arrive on time, but a month early by everyone else’s calculations, or that the baby would strongly resemble Roger, was terrified Ed would discover her deception and be hurt terribly as she truthfully cared for her vulnerable husband. Holly made a promise to her unborn child that no matter what happened, the baby was hers and she would love it always. Holly on an errand for Ed at the hospital ran into Bert and Peggy Fletcher in the cafeteria and forced herself not to show her true feelings when she learned that Peggy, who once was deeply involved with Roger, but cut off their relationship when he inadvertently endangered her son Billy and her life with his loan shark dealings, planned to contact Roger at the Metro Restaurant where he worked and tell him of her plans of reconciliation. Holly unable to mask her sudden labor pains was observed by Dr. Tim Ryan, who rused her to the delivery room where Ed, standing by his wife’s side, participated in a short, easy delivery of a perfectly beautiful 6-1/2 pound baby daughter. Since everyone believed Holly was a month early, combined with the small birth size of the baby – Christina -, no one questioned anything, allaying all of Holly’s fears, but Andy’s advice to put everything behind her and to enjoy the love and security of Ed’s marriage was diminished when she secretly observed Roger viewing his baby in the hospital nursery after he visited her. Popular lead rock singer, Chad Roberts of the “Electric Eye,” one time close high school friend of Leslie Bauer, underwent extensive testing at the free clinic to determine if his recurrent “conscious” blackouts were physiological or emotional. Dr. Steve Jackson and his new intern Tim were puzzled by the test results which dead-end causing them to suspect the frightening possibility of a brain tumor. Although Chad’s angiogram was negative, while hospitalized, he experienced a brief blackout period where he later realized he had forcefully flung a water glass across the room. Chad nostalgically reviewed old school photos of Leslie, once his “steady” in school. Pam Chandler resumed working with Dr. Sara McIntyre after the birth of her daughter Samantha and found her aguments with Tim with whom she had to be in close contact on a special research project more frequent. Dr. Joe Werner and Sara had slowly developed a close relationship with 10-year old T.J. who had known nothing but abuse, neglect and rejection all of his short life. When T.J. wrote a poignant essay depicting his vagabond life with his errant mother and received not only an “A” grade but accolades from his teacher, T.J. was cruelly teased by another boy and got into a fight. Joe, thrilled that T.J. didn’t revert to an old pattern of running away but came to Sara and Joe, stormed off to defend “his son’s” rights at school. Love Of Life Written by: Margaret DePriest Produced by: Darryl Hickman The opening of Beaver Ridge was not the joyous occasion that it should have been when Cal Aleata ran into her ex-fiancé, David Hart, with Arlene Harper. David told Cal he would still be in the hospital if it weren’t for her mother Meg. Cal tried to figure this out, and spent a sleepless night over it. When she couldn’t reach David, Cal confronted Meg who admitted she told David he had every legal right to leave the hospital and she only helped him get out for Cal’s own good because David was so mentally ill that he could never lead a normal life and she wanted everyone to be able to see this. Cal was so furious at Meg that she drove off even though the night was so foggy that visibility was almost impossible. Rick Latimer, Meg’s lover, followed Cal because he could see how upset she was and knew that she had a tendency to drive very fast when she was mad. Meg’s son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Betsy, tried to find out from Meg what happened and upon hearing the story, Betsy, Cal’s best friend, phoned around trying to locate Cal. Rick finally found Cal in a ravine where she had gone through a guard rail at a fairly high speed. When he couldn’t get her out of the car, he covered her and phoned the police who called Van and Bruce Sterling, Cal’s aunt and uncle. When Bruce tried to explain to Meg and Eddie, Meg’s ex-husband and the only husband of Meg’s who had been a father to Cal, Meg jumped to the conclusion that Cal had told them and they hade come to criticize her. When they arrived at the hospital, they found that Cal hadn’t arrived yet and when she did they knew nothing of her condition. Meg insisted on seeing Cal but the doctor wanted Van to see her since Cal was asking for her. Although she had always been jealous of Van, Meg gave in graciously. Cal was confused and the cold she felt reminded her of when she and Van were locked in the meat freezer and she feared she would die. Van told her she would live a long time, but the doctor wasn’t as optimisic about Cal’s chances. Meg and Van met in the chapel where Van assured Meg that Cal still loved her and the two sisters found they hadn’t been this close in years. Dr. Torino gave them the bad news that although she was still unconscious they weren’t worried because she had no cranial fractures, but Cal’s back was broken in two places. Meg accused Dr. Torino of being incompetent because he was young and not actively trating her, but he tried to explain they could do nothing until she came to. Meg asked Rick and Van to make Cal see that she was only trying to do what was best for her, but Van refused to take sides. Rick and Meg were in Cal’s room when she awoke, but the doctor hired Meg out when Cal screamed for her to leave. After Dr. Torino found out what happened before Cal’s accident, he forbade Meg to see Cal, so Meg threatened not to fund the hospital, but Dr. Westhiemer, the administrator, stood up for Dr. Torino whom Meg accused of incompetency. Ben made excuses about going to the golf course and then showed up at Arlene’s – his legal wife – and was surprised when she showed him the pearls David had given her and vowed she would be a rich woman one way or another – since it would be at least 6 months before Ben could get the ½ millon promised by his mother Meg after he married Betsy. – Arlene spent much of her time with David and was thrilled that he treated her with the respect that no one else would give her. She kept telling David that he was sane and not to let anyone step on him. Arlene’s mother called, asking her to come home and whe Arlene finally got an answer at her mother’s house after two days of phoning, a woman said she left without collecting her pay and the house had been turned upside down. Arlene confided to David that she didn’t want the ranch own,er her mother’s boss, to know where she was so he suggested that he hire a private detective. Ben showed up expecting Arlene to come up with an idea to get the ½ million in the immediate future because Cal’s accident had him convinced that Meg would jinx things somehow because she always ran everyone’s lives. Arlene told him not to come back until he could be a little concerned about her problems too. Arlene’s mother later arrived with a black eye, having left Arlene’s father. Arlene visited David and told him about Cal’s accident. He blamed himself for the accident but told Arlene that while he didn’t hate Cal, he no longer felt any love for her. Ben told Betsy he couldn’t live out the 6 months with Meg, but they had a better chance of leaving gracefully if Betsy explained it. When Meg arrived home saying she needed them there, Betsy explained that Ben needed to be on his own, but after Meg said she would consider not giving him the money if they did something that immature. Ben said they would stay, making Betsy very angry. Charles Lamont had asked Van if he and Felicia might be married in her garden and if Bruce would perform the ceremony. Sarah was decorating with flowers and Eddie was donating the wine. Johnny seemed troubled about his grandfather’s marriage to his school teacher and became very sullen. Charles had made arrangements for them to get their marriage license in private, but Felicia showed up hours late after much mental anguish giving the story about a flat tire on the way back from an art show in another town. Her hands were shaking as she signed the license. Johnny commented on the fog and the possibility of calling the wedding off the following day, but Felicia said it would be moved inside. After they found out about Cal’s accident, Felicia suggested that it be called off and Charles agreed, but later suggested that they be married privately in Bruce’s office and take their honeymoon later. Felicia gave Sarah the impression that Charles was the one wanting to postpone the wedding, but when she asked Van if she and Sarah would be witnesses, Van could see she was distressed. One Life To Live Written by: Gordon Russell Produced by: Doris Quinlan While the police investigation of the shooting murder of Dr. Mark Toland proceeded, a personal secret investigation was being conducted by the handsome and mysterious adventurer Tony Harris, who had arrived in Llanview with his Japanese/Vietnamese “ward”, Michiko. When Police Lt. Ed Hall discovered that the jade medallion, found in Toland’s room was an ancient PI (pronounced “bee”), a valuable religious artifact reported stolen from a Vietnamese museum, priced at $25.000, Vinnie Wolek, working without pay for the police – at the expense of looking for a needed salaried job – insisted Harris had to be involved with Toland’s murder. Through Joe Riley, Tony learned of the jade’s past and value. It appeared Tony was deceived by Michiko – who claimed she was duped – into paying a small fortune for an old family jade heirloom which was smuggled out of Vietnam to San Francisco where Toland, unaware of its real value, stole it along with the rest of the Randolph documents which would prove Tony – who knew nothing about this aspect of the story – was the long lost illegitimate son of wealthy Victor Lord. Vinnie further complicated the police investigation by stealing a note written by Toland on San Francisco hotel stationary, but bearing no salutation, in an overzealous attempt to somehow connect Harris and Toland. Meanwhile, the break Ed had been waiting for appeared when his young son, Josh, suspicious of meeting Tim Siegel out in the woods – the police had kept Tim under surveillance in the hope he would be caught actually finding the missing murder gun – discovered one of they younger boys who had been playing in a tree house had been hiding the gun all the while. The gun, with all the fingerprints smudged beyond recognition, was identified as the murder weapon. Ed, convinced more than ever that Tim was involved with the murder, went to the Siegel house and attempted to break down the alibi that Eileen, Julie and Tim had concted that they were all home during the entire evening. Comparing Julie’s fingerprints with some found in Mark’s room, proving she did go to his room after all. Ed confronted the Siegels with this evidence that he had to arrest Julie, who confessed she went to Mark’s only to be degraded and spurned by him. Tim immediately stepped forward and confessed to the murder! With a confession, Tim’s apparent knowledge of the whereabouts of the weapon, and an artist’s rendering of the youthful visitor to Toland that night, which looked like Tim, and coupled with Tim’s known hot temper and fierce devotion to his sister, the evidence against him seemed overwhelming. Novitiate Jenny Wolek, who cared deeply for Tim, couldn’t believe that Tim could be a murderer. He had only just proclaimed his sincere love and desire for a marriage to her if she world forsake her religious vows. Jenny confronted the imprisoned Tim with what appeared to be an inconsistent personality – one tender and truthful, the other a so-called murdered - and found Tim wanted her to follow her original calling and to believe that anyone, even he, could be a killer. Tim’s arrest for Mark’s murder made headline news in The Banner and caused Viki Lord Riley to turn to Dr. Larry Wolek for guidance. Should she come forward and tell the police what they believed was Toland’s real motive for coming back – to blackmail Viki with the threat of revealing to Joe he carried a hereditary heart disease which could affect future children, as it had affected Megan -. Desperate to protect Joe from this knowledge, Viki had told Larry she planned to assume all responsibility about not being able to become pregnant as her own falt claiming she was infertile. Susan Barry believed Viki and Larry were meeting clandestinely and was further shocked when she happened in on Joe and Cathy Craig and found them in an innocent but rather compromising embrace – Cathy, who found her life rather settled and boring at present, didn’t feel any spark between herself and Steve Burke, who obviously cared deeply for her. – While drunk beyond awareness of her actions, Susan mailed an anonymous to Viki saying, “No matter what you do, Joe is going to find out,” but was later puzzled to find an incorrectly addressed envelope to Viki which she could not recall writing. Matt McAllister and Dorian Cramer were surprised with Tim’s confession and hoped the heat from the investigation would be off them. Matt, finding a letter on Victor’s desk telling of a personal advertisement in San Francisco newspapers discretely requesting the heirs – hopefully his son – of the Dorothy Randolph Estate to contact lawyers regarding an inheritance, railed at Dorian who really felt less threatened than Matt by the possibility of a long lost son turning up to upset their ultimate plans to control Victor and Lord Enterprises. Ironically in a chance meeting between Victor and Tony, who had been using Michiko’s illness – Dorian actually discovered a slight case of anemia, common to orientals who fond the American diet difficult to assimilate – to search Dorian’s premised for his lost securities which Toland stole from his mother. Victor found Tony a rather odd sort of person. Ryan’s Hope Created by: Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer Written by: Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer Produced by: Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer The soap premiered on Monday, July 7th from 1:00 to 1:30 pm. When Frank Ryan, ex-cop, lawyer and reform candidate for councilman in Riverside area of New York, mysteriously fell down the back stairs at Riverside Hospital, his skill fracture and broken neck horrified his family and friends. His wife, Delia, mother of his son John, ironically, was glad the fall occurred because Frank would have to stay home with her. Dee chaffed because Frank always volunteered for extra duty, then went to law school nights, and presently had spent all his time campaigning. On the other hand, Dee became hysterical when she contemplated Frank’s being a vegetable as a result of his injuries, causing her to depend increasingly on Johnny and Maeve Ryan, Frank’s parents, for support. Dee couldn’t stand to see Frank unconscious, but was terrified when he had periods of consciousness. Dee’s fits of hysterics frustrated Frank’s sister, Mary who called Dee a baby. Indomitable Mary Ryan had just graduated from college, and managed the campaign office. She was devastated by the news of Frank’s fall, but was determined to keep the campaign going. The mystery of Frank’s fall was being pursued from two sources. Bob Reid, Frank’s brother-in-law, best friend, campaign manager, and former police partner, could find no physical reason for the fall and was puzzled by $6500 found on Frank, which had subsequently disappeared. Bob couldn’t understand why Frank visited Nick Zabo, a traction patient, who was a known loan shark. Jack Fenelli, an investigative reporter, brought up on the docks, was interviewing Mary for background for a story when they learned of the fall, and he was also interested in the fall and money, especially since his natural cynicism caused him to think Frank was too good to be true. According to Mary, Frank’s candidacy was prompted by a group of poor citizens whose tenements he had saved from demolition by the hospital. Frank won the primary, then won the party’s backing by proving he had the zealous support of these people led by Mary. Frank had refused financial support from large special interests, thus the mystery of the $6500. Bob asked Dee to see their bank book when she denied knowledge of the source of the money, saying Frank never gave her any money. Frank was found by Roger Coleridge, resident in neurosurgery, who used life-saving procedures in the rescue. Roger’s father, Ed Coleridge, acting head of the department, ultimately did the evaluation on Frank and performed the surgery that relieved the pressure on the spinal cord, although he did so with trepidation since he and Johnny Ryan had been best friends all their lives. Faith Coleridge, Ed’s youngest child, was an intern along with Frank’s youngest brother, Part. Faith was in medicine because she wanted to be, it pleased her father, whom she adored, and it irritated older brother Roger whom she disliked, although she admitted he was a good doctor. The other Coleridge sibling, Jillian was a lawyer working for the hospital and teaching law. She grew attached to Frank when he was one of her students, and had had an affair with him. Unbeknownst to his family, Roger had borrowed money from Nick Zabo, who had a bowling ball dropped on Roger’s foot when Roger failed to pay on time. The reason Frank visited Zabo the day of the accident was to tell Nick to lay off Roger, who suddenly paid Zabo back after Frank was admitted to the hospital. Zabo, afraid of further questioning by Bob Reid about Frank’s visit, intimidated Roger into ordering no visitors. Faith Coleridge was being pursued by a fellow intern, Bucky Carter, who was advised by Pat Ryan that Faith was interested only in medicine. Bucky managed to persuade Faith to have dinner on his houseboat, revealing his relationship to the Buckminsters and Carters, the money behind Riverside Hospital, and his love of sailing. Faith asked her father’s permission to continue to see Bucky socially, puzzling Ed. Faith then told Bucky she wanted only friendship, because she was recently burned by a man. Faith was upset by Bucky’s interest because she felt she couldn’t give of herself. Bucky was surprised by the sudden appearance in New York of Dr. Eleanore “Nell” Beaulac. She had come for a position as a neurological radiologist and to do research at Riverside because they had an image intensifier. Her cousin, Marshall Westheimer, Hospital Administrator, had arranged an interview with Ed Coleridge. When Ed turned Nell down because he had no position or money available, Nell went back to Marshall, who explained the financial repercussions to Ed, who acquiesced, but not without telling Nell he resented the pressure. Nell had left her husband, Dr. Seneca Beaulac, a prominent researcher, because she had had to postpone her ownambitions in favor of his projects, and felt it was her times. Against her wishes, Seneca followed her, cataloguing all he left behind, to persuade her to return for another few months. Nell refused, but said she didn’t want a divorce. He promised to wind up his work in Minnesota and return to her soon. Nell crossed swords with Dr. Moultry and Nurse Gonzales, causing Ed to reprimand her for poor staff relations. She told him she would do as she pleased. Frank finally began to gain consciousness, responding to sound, but showing no reflexes. Because Frank’s fever was up, Ed asked Nell to do chest x-rays and to help evaluate his broken neck. She wasn’t hopeful. Frank uttered two words in periods of consciousness – Delia and pushed.

Clay Collins’ visits to Karen had done her a world of good. Wade resisted the doctor’s recommendation that Clay continue to see Karen, but had to admit Clay had been good for her. Karen withdrew when the doctor asked if she didn’t want her father all to herself. Clay was trying to stall Mr. Chambers about the merger and insisted that their father had to have been senile to have suggested that he could not run the business more knowingly than Wade, so Wade showed him the letter written long before the will that suggested Clay’s ipmulsivness at the time of Karen’s commitment was the reason for the letter. Clay played on Janet’s sympathy by saying he had to move out of the house. He rented a penthouse apartment with the idea that Stephanie Wilkinson, his assistant, would move in with him, but when she refused because her daughter would be coming hom from camp soon, Clay rented her a smaller apartment in the same building.

Bob told them the medical report showed bruises on Tony’s body, but the ones on his neck looked like he could have been choked. Kathy asked Sam Hunter, the D.A., if he could give her Robin’s address even though she was a juvenile and it wasn’t public record. Sam agreed to try, but after McCredy told him not to call “Mr. Billings” because he could lose his appointment as D.A. and not to concern himself over the question of whether Robin Kennmer’s disappearance had anything to do with Dr. Tony Vincente’s death, Sam told Kathy he couldn’t find her current address. Robin showed up again at Jo’s and this time Jo asked her what she knew about Tony’s death. Robin became scared and fled, but Bruce, Tony’s ward, followed her to the bordello where she worked. He asked for her and when shown upstairs, he told her how concerned and upset Jo was over Tony’s death. Robin called for help.

Joey had searched the streets for Robin feeling that she had been talking to someone, but when he couldn’t find her, he called “Mac,” who gave Sam Hunter 2-1/2 hours to get back to town and call off the police search. Hunter resented this treatment, but McCredy reminded him he knew what he was getting into and would go along with the rules or be tossed out. Having no place to go, Robin sneaked into Jo’s house, but when she would no longer stay awake, Jo found her asleep and promised not to call the police. Kathy offered to help Robin go home after she said thay she was not safe from Joey who was waiting for her outside the hospital the night of Tony’s death.

Bell Produced by: John Conboy After Phillip Chancellor’s funeral, his wife of a few hours before his death, Jill, moved her family into the Chancellor estate because Kay Chancellor signed the house over to Phillip while apparently drunk. When Kay called and asked Ruth, the housekeeper, to bring her some things at the hospital, Ryth told her that her things had been moved out and Jill and her family had moved in. Kay called the police telling them that a former employee had moved into her house and she wanted them evicted. When Brock saw his mother in a rage, he promised to look into it. After visiting Jill, and finding that his mother gave up the house, Brock had to back and told her. Jill visited Kay in the hospital, where they blamed each other for Phillip’s death and Kay vowed that Jill would pay for it. Kay called Phillip’s lawyer, Mitchell Sherman, and asked him to get the house back for her, but he could only refer her to another lawyer, Steve Ramsey, because if this went to court he could be called to testify about the divorce. Steve questioned Kay about the divorce and marriage, he told her that it was not a matter of just getting her house and property back, because if she didn’t remember signing the divorce papers, they could possibly prove that the divorce is invalid thereby making Jill’s marriage to Phillip null and void and Kay would inherit everything. Brock tried to convince Kay that she was better off without the house and the house was better since it had became a “home,” but Steve had got a court date set and turned the case over to Van Richmond, his partner, who reminded Kay of the dangers of taking a “poor, honest family” to court. Jill’s family seemed to be enjoying the house, but after several days of having nothing to occupy her time, Jill’s mother, Liz, asked Ruth for a dust cloth and then helped with the cleaning. After a full morning, Jill insisted that her mother put on the new bathing suit her son Snapper brought over – she should start realizing she was a woman – and swim or sit by the pool. Even though it had been many years since Liz had had a bathing suit, she seemed to like the idea if nobody would watch. Snapper and Jill set up a surprise dinner in the dining room for Liz with Sam Powers. Sam offered to ask Bill down from his room, but Liz said that Ruth, the maid, took good care of Bill; sometimes too good. Dr. Mark Henderson visited Jill because he was concerned that she didn’t want the baby she was carrying, but she told him about her love for Phillip but that she just didn’t want to tell anyone yet. Greg received the petition from Steve Ramsey and called Jill, who told Brock that if he didn’t stop his mother, she would and she wouldn’t be responsible for what she might do. Greg questioned Ruth about the night Kay signed the divorce papers and gave up the house. As she thought about how much she enjoyed having Bill in the house, Ruth stated Kay had been drinking, but always knew what she was doing when drunk. Brock reminded Ruth that only the two of them knew what actually happened. After Regina Henderson went to Stuart Brooks with her suspicions that his wife, Jennifer, was the other woman in her husband Bruce’s life, Stuart called his daughter together. Peggy had left home, moving to a boarding house, saying that she was going to summer school, but Stuart found that she wasn’t enrolled and asked the girls to explain. When they told him nothing, he confronted Jennifer who admitted she was in love with Bruce Henderson, but had decided to stay. The girls all knew, but Peggy said it was too late. Stuart said that staying because of the girls and out of a sense of duty was not enough, she should pack her things and go to Bruce. Chris and Leslie tried to persuade their mother to try again, but she said she had to think things out. Lorie couldn’t let her go alone and so rushed after her. The following morning, Leslie called Lorie to find out if Jennifer went to Bruce in Chicago and found she was still at Lorie’s. Brad, Leslie’s husband, felt it was a bad idea to rush over there, that they should let her see what it was like without her daughters and then maybe she would come home, but Chris and Leslie decided to go anyway. Lorie was trying to convince her to go to Chicago and finally told them all the reason Jen had no choice – although Peggy had moved home again – if their mother went back, Peggy would leave again and that while she was in the rooming house, a guy gave her marijuana to take her troubles away, and when he tried to force heavier things on her, she couldn’t handle it; ran out and showed up crying at Lorie’s door. Jennifer went to the phone and called Bruce, telling him she had changed her mind and was coming to Chicago. That morning, Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son, showed up at the Brookses’ and was asked to stay by Stuart even after Peggy ordered him out. Stuart said he knew about Bruce and Jennifer and she was probably in Chicago with him, but Mark informed him she was not there. Stuart started wondering where she was. Mark learned Jen was on her way to Chicago and asked his father to send her home, but Jennifer told Bruce there were reasons she couldn’t return. After Phillip’s sudden death, Lorie was left with the bills he was going to pay. She received a $5.000 advance in her book if she would sign a contract agreeing to have it published under another name, because of the sensationalist publicity her last book and centerfold received. When she thought about Leslie starting on her concert tour, Lorie signed, saying the book would be done in 3 weeks. Mark Henderson visited Lorie again and was taunted by Lorie who said he didn’t come to talk about family problems, but to see her and she had the vague impression he was using her. She asked him to spend the night, but he claimed “he couldn’t” and ran out. Lorie brought him back and he admitted that he had seen doctors but his problem wasn’t a physical/medical one. He revealed he eloped with his childhood sweetheart only to have her die of an embolism in his arms on their wedding night. He added he was since then unable to achieve an intimate relationship with another woman.

He is.

Wonderful ! As a French guy, I appreciate that !! How did you find such a clear version ?

Thanks for the articles !

I have no idea indeed. I agree it seems weird they left as it was Bridget’s parents’ creation. Were the ratings that bad ? I thought the Phil Brewer murder mystery was well received.

It is based on the best I could find. The Dobsons were still credited on GH in May and they were said to have created the Chad character on GL. Same for LOL. DePriest replaced Labine and Avila Mayer some time before July as they left to focus on creating RH.

Not much from what I think (I only browsed quickly the upcoming summaries). Lorie will be in debts as Phillip was supposed to pay her bills but he died before he could. Lorie will move to the novel storyline completely I think.

Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Iris Carrington was proceeding with plans for her wedding to Russ Matthews, but to the dismary of her housekeeper, Louise Goddard, seemed to completely disregard Russ’ personal wishes for the wedding or the future. Over his objections, she had invited her vacuous jet-set friends from New York for the ceremony and had actually told Russ’ aunt, Liz Matthews, that despite Russ’ desire to havie children, Dennis, her son by her previous marriage, would just have to be enough for Russ. However, Louise’s greatest fear was that Iris would completely lose Russ when he discovered that instead of accepting her father Mac Cory’s marriage to Rachel, Iris was still engineering a plot to break up that marriage. Indeed, Iris brought Phillip Wainwright from New York to try to put Rachel in a compromising position, but the plan hadn’t worked. Phillip was deeply hurt by the loss of his girlfriend Clarice when she discovered that he was part of this shabby scheme and Phillip had tried to show Iris that Rachel indeed loved Mac, not his money, and it was only Iris’ jealousy that prevented her from seeing that. Iris continued to drop remarks to Mac in Rachel’s presence about how dangerous Phillip was with married women which upset Rachel, as it increased Mac’s jealousy. Rachel had continued her riding lessons with Phillip, but only on the condition that attorney Barbara Weaver, her good friend, was always with them. Phillip finally set up a meeting with Rachel and Barbara at which time he begged Rachel to get Mac to take her out of Bay City until Iris’ wedding was over, for the sake of her own marriage, but he refused to discuss it furtuer. Iris, realizing that if it was going to be done, she was going to have to do it herself, embarked on a new scheme. Under the guise of giving all relatives a piece of her jewelry in honor of her wedding, Iris told Mac that Rachel should have an antique brooch which belonged to her mother. She showed it to Mac who was delighted by her choice. After Mac left, however, Iris pried a pearl out of the setting. Later when Rachel arrived, Iris presented the brooch to her in Louise’s presence insisting she wanted her to have it and wear it to her wedding. However, when Louise left the room, Iris pretended to notice a pearl missing and told Rachel she’d have it immediately fixed and bring it to her. After Rachel left, Iris told Louise Rachel took the brooch with her to her riding lesson. Iris then had the brooch repaired and bribed the jeweler to forget he ever saw her. Rachel, meanwhile, worried about Phillip’s words, asked Mac if they could go away, suggesting their absence at the time of the wedding – Rachel was previously married to Russ – would make things easier for the Matthew family. However, when Mac reminded her the opening of his publishing complex was approaching, she dropped the subject. Mac was confused when Rachel told him Iris kept the brooch to have a missing pearl replaced when Iris told Mac that Rachel had the jewelry. Learning that Phillip was leaving town, Iris realized she had to act. She summoned Mac in tears and told him Phillip repaid the personal loan she made him with a brooch given him by his married lover – the brooch she gave Rachel. Iris insisted she hated telling him this, but it proved Rachel had been unfaithful from the start. She discounted the missing pearl story by displaying the perfect setting and called in Louise who honestly said she saw Rachel accept the brooch from Iris. Mac was devastated. He painfully told Iris she shouldn’t have told him this, saying he had never loved before. Iris was aghast, asking if he didn’t love her mother. Mac brokenly revealed that marriage was arranged and Iris’ mother died before they had a chance to know if they loved each other. Mac then questioned Barbara who staunchly defended Rachel against Iris’ insistence that Barbara was shielding her. Barbara insisted that Rachel would never hurt Mac. Learning Rachel had already left for her riding lesson, Iris dispatched Mac to catch Rachel and Phillip together. When Iris then assured Barbara she had done all of this out of love for her father, Barbara disgustedly replied she didn’t love him of she couldn’t have destroyed his happiness. Rachel was reluctant to wait at Phillip’s without Barbara but he quickly told her the whole truth about Iris’ scheme explain losing Clarice made him realize love was more important than money. However, Mac walked in and finding her there was convinced Iris’ story was true. Rachel, seeing the level of Mac’s insane jealousy, didn’t try to defend herself, rather she asked why he was willing to believe Iris instead of trusting his wife. He replied in light of all this he couldn’t. Crushed, Rachel felt she had lost Mac’s trust forever and went to Ada’s leaving Mac with Iris who continued to turn the knife in his wounds. Rachel later tried to reason with Mac at their home. Despite her assurances she loved him and had done nothing wrong, Mac asked if she was the girl who hit Phillip with the crop. When she admitted this explaining she concealed it for their sake, he insisted this kind of live proved he could never trust her again. Rachel told Mac of Iris’ plot but he called this an ugly lie. He suggested they try to make a marriage out of what was left but Rachel in tears, replied if he couldn’t love her the way she loved him, she didn’t want it – she couldn’t live with that after what they had together. When Clarice, who was dating Neal, learned of the breakup, she confronted Phillip on his involvement. Believing he had no part in what Iris did, she gave Ada the check Iris gave her to keep quiet about the plot. Clarice kept the check with no intention of cashing it. Ada called Russ and Clarice told him the story. Russ didn’t want to believe the woman he loved could be capable of this treachery but Ada appealed to his sense of fairness begging him to find out if Iris was guilty of creating this entire situation. Ada returned home, with hope, to find a note from Rachel saying she had gone away to pull herself together. Alice Frame and her brother-in-law Willis, returned from Oaklahoma where the funeral for her late husband Steven Frame was held at his family home. Alice was grateful the funeral was there as she had learned much about Steven’s past and was grateful that Steven’s sister, Emma, had come to Bay City to help her and Willis through this trying time. Alice was determined to go ahead with a single-parent adoption, but the judge ordered an additional search for recently orphaned Sally Spencer’s relatives be undertaken before the case was heard. Rachel’s son, Jamie, whose father was Steven Frame, had been taking the death of his father very badly, but Emma’s reminiscences helped. Since Steven’s death, Willis had pressed his power play moves againt Vic Hastings for outright authority control at Frame Enterprises. While it was Vic who had the experience of the company, Willis made it clear he was the partner in the firm – a partnership which John Randolph, the firm attorney, and Vic realized Willis would never have had if he were not Steven’s brother. Architect Carol Lamonte, who was furious with her plan to break up her boss Robert’s marriage to Lenore worked, but backfriend in that Robert fired her instead of falling into her arms, had gone to Willis to convince him to give her, not Robert, the contract on the shopping center for which Frame Enterprises was the contractor. When Willis pointed out the shopping center project was almost promised to Robert, Carol told Willis if Robert did the job, Vic would get the credit as he arranged this. If Willis got a new architect, he got the credit. Vic tried to explain to Willis that Carol was too inexperienced to go the job and she was only doing it to hurt Robert, but Willis, annoyed at what he felt was interference by Vic, replied the decision was his alone. Carol, meanwhile, sneaked into Robert’s office and copied the bid file on the supermarket project; her bid therefore came in considerably under Robert’s. Carol continued to play Vic against Willis, but Willis finally told her the company couldn’t afford to take the loss if her lack of experience blew the contract. Insisting she needed the chance, Carol, who was wealthy in her own right, offered to guarantee to underwrite her losses, if any, to make up the difference. With this guarantee, Willis gave Carol the contract. Furious at learning of the contract award, Robert confronted Willis scathingly saying Carol bought the award. Willis again pointed out the decision was his and forbade Robert to discuss it with Vic of would ruin Robert’s company. Carol then visited Neal Johnson, Robert’s associate, flauing her suite of offices at the Bayview Towers, admitting she was out to ruin Robert because of the way he treated her. Carol, unable to be Robert’s carrer guiding force, was apparently trying to be Willis’s career mentor by cutting Vic out of Frame Enterprises. While Vic had always given presentations for the company, Carol pressed Willis to do the shopping center presentation himself as people would otherwise think Vic ran the show. She virtually told Willis, unless he ran all facets of the company, people would think he was a token figurehead. Willis further infuriated Vic by ordering him not to go to Washington D.C. – Vic had helped Lenore secretly leave town and had arranged a job and an apartment for her. – However, to gain him out of town for the presentation, Willis finally told Vic he should go to the Frame D.C. office the following day and he, Willis, would handle the presentation. When Willis refused to back down, Vic said he could announce his resignation at the same time. John persuaded Vic to hold off his resignation for Alice’s sake as well as the company’s and warned Willis to make concessions to keep Vic, because without him there would be a question of leadership in the firm that could ultimately destroy Frame Enterprises. The customers’ confidence laid with Vic. Alice had been reluctant to get involved in the business, but learning of Vic’s threatened resignation, she agreed to try to persuade him to stay. She said Vic should decide the next project. Willis soon realized presentations weren’t his thing, they were Vic’s and he needed him, if only for that. Carol, however, told Willis she had access to virtually everything he needed to make the firm his and cautioned him not to play it safe. Ironically he noted that his girlfriend Angie disapproved of his course of action and without her approval, there was no enjoyment in the work. Willis confided to Angie he had helf inferior all his life – that creepy Willis in his hand-me-down clothes – and he was determined no one would stand in his way of being “someone.” Touched, Angie promised she wouldn’t let anything come between them. Angie’s pleasure at hearing Willis make conciliatory statements to Vic on the phone were a little dimmed when Willis admitted John convinced him he needed Vic. John made Alice, who held control of Frame Enterprises, see that Steve had intended Vic to run the company if he couldn’t, that Willis was assuming authority Steve never intended him to have. Alice acquiesced for the good of the company, but expressed concern that Willis not be humiliated in his necessary eviction from the executive office he had been using. Even though it had been almost 10 years ago since her daughter Jennifer disappeared, Beatrice Gordon, the Corys’ housekeepr, finally agreed to allow Gil McGowan to being a new confidential investigation. Marianne Randolph had met Chris Pearson, a junior at Bay State College, who was applying for a summer job at Frame Enterprises. While Willis seemed unimpressed by Chris, Marianne put in a good word for him and Chris was hired on a temporary basis. Suddenly, Marianne, who had definitely decided against college, had begun to study hard for her exams with Chris’ help, hoping to enter Bay State in the Fall. Chris and Marianne began dating and he took her to a dance at Bay State. However, when they came home late and her father John found them kissing on the sofa, he read Chris out for bringing her home late and for what he assumed happened. Marianne was furious at this overzealous embarrassment. Chris went to John’s office the following day to offer his apology again and to tell John that Marianne needed confidence in herself. Both Pat, John’s wife, and Jim Matthews, his father-in-law, told John he was overreacting, that fathers invariably resented the boys their daughters dated. Gil had agreed to unofficially help Robert in he search for Lenore, but pointed out her letter made it clear she left of her own accord. Neal told John that Robert was not doing any work, he had lost all interest in everything. In fact, he had turned his curring project entirely over to Neal and noted his only friend was his bottle. Helen Moore, Lenore’s mother, tried unsuccessfully to make Robert see he was destroying himself and the company. Barbara had started to refuse to see Vic socially. She explained that she was fed up with his “secret errands” which she felt indicated indifference towards her and she couldn’t tolerate it. She made it clear that she had guessed his errand was Lenore, that they were out of town the same time and since he wouldn’t explain it, she would no longer see him. When he complained about the way she had treated him, Barabra said she was treating Vic the way he was treating her, with indifference, and that Lenore stood between them and always would until he talked to Robert. Vic visited Lenore in Washington. She admitted she still loved Robert but maintained her right to leave. Vic hoped to keep the D.C. office open so he could visit Lenore every few weeks. When Robert, intoxicated, found Carol at Willis’ office, he tried to warn Willis that Carol was a barracuda. Carol’s vindictive verbal assault on Robert shocked even thick skinned Willis. Since Jim Matthews had started to shake the depression he had suffered since the sudden death of his wife Mary, his sister-in-law, Liz, was suddenly very worried that Jim might be susceptible to a conniving woman’s advances. Jim’s son, Russ and Dr. Richard Gavin poo-pooed this. Russ and Dr. Gavin later agreed it was actually Liz’s problem, not Jim’s. Liz assured Dr. Gavin she was not romantically interested in Jim but she was afraid he could be taken advantage of.

Lisa burnt hers, Grant put his in a pockey. On they honeymoon, after a simple civil ceremony, Lisa found the letter. They decided to open it and found a photo of a small boy, supposedly Grant’s son whom Joyce had and gave up without Grant’s knowledge. They dismissed the photo as a hoaw. Lisa was disturbed when she noticed Grant’s enthrallment with a child in a restaurant, and later at home, when she discouvered he hadn’t destroyed the photo. Grant told Chris Hughes about the situation, then said he would just put it out of his mind. Chris didn’t believe him. Lisa confronted Grant, who said he only wanted to spare her. Kim Dixon, finally free of her commitment to her husband John, as he was recovered from a smashed ankle; rejoiced in her love for Dr. Dan Stewart. She was uneasy about coming between Dan and his ex-wife, Susan. Kim’s sister, Jennifer Hughes, reassured her. Dan urged Kim to get a quick divorce, and Kim discussed it with John, who said she could do whatever she wanted, but he had been countin on the 6 months a divorce would take in Oakdale to try to win back her love. To reinforce his feeling to Kim, Dan shared Betsy’s real parentage to her. Betsy was his real daughter, but he felt it best to have her think of him as his uncle because of the emotional upheaval of her mother’s death. Kim looked forward to mothering Betsy and Dan’s daughter by Susan, Emmy. When Emmy didn’t recover from a cold and sore throat, but became worse, Dan rushed her to the hospital, where she was found to have bacterial meningitis, Dan tried to contact Susan but to no avail. Dan’s father, David and John both found Susan unconscious from drinking and were unable to rouse her to get to the hospital. Kim finally succeeded with a cold shower, eggnog, and determination. Susan begged for a drink, but Kim refused, making Susan realize Emmy needed her. Susan almost collapsed at the hospital, but Dan straightened her out by calling her a quitter. Ampicillin was prescribed for Emmy, but had no immediate effect on her 105° fever. After a long day at Emmy’s side, Susan ran into John. She clung to her purse, and recalling another time when she had scotch stowed in her purse, John asked her to leave her purse with him. Susan was torn. Finally, when Dan interceded, reminding her he had been there, she gave the bottle to him. They stood vigil all night. Kim confided to Jen that she didn’t feel she could take Dan from Susan and resolved to stay away from him until Betsy, aware of Dan’s feelings for Kim, said Dan needed her. Kim went to the the hospital to find Susan had disappeared. She offered to search and found Susan in the Chapel. Kim told Susan Dan wanted her, then stayed behind, shocked at herself. Emmy was worse. Jennifer found the competition in her med classes was terrific, and when she expressed her feelings of inadequacy to Bob, her husband he was supporting, saying once she was organized, she would do well and he was proud of her. Jen and Bob both tried too hard to reassure each other that the classes wouldn’t have any effect on their lives, despite the disruption of plans through such things as a conference with Jen’s teacher scheduled during dinnertime and Jen’s helping Kim with Susan, necessitating her going to class without going him first. Nancy Hughes, Bob’s mother, refused to understand when Jen turned down a morning of shopping or dropped Frannie, Jen and Bob’s daughter, off in an emergency. Candidly, Nancy pointed out to Bob that the inconsistency of adult supervision in Frannie’s life was bad. Jen did better and was selected to represent her class at a conference in Cleveland, necessitating her leaving Frannie alone for almost a week. She was afraid to tell Bob. Bob’s ex-wife, Sandy Wilson Garrison, arrived in town – for a reste – and lunched with Bob. Chris found Sandy’s son, Jimmy, was living with Sandy’s father. Sandy was evasive about her past. Jay Stallings, after assuring his bride, Carol Hughes Stallings, that he never looked at anyone after meeting her, had to do some fast talking to keep her when Carol discovered he had a tryst with Susan. During the upheaval, Jay demanded Carol choose between him and the Hughes clan. They ironed it out, and went apartment hunting, choosing an expensive apartment near Kim. Accidentally, Tom Hughes, Carol’s ex-husband, saw his girlfriend’s medical file on his father Bob’s desk. Bob refused to discuss Natalie Bannon’s case. When Tom asked Natalie about her recurring visits to Bob, she insisted it was just flu, then stormed at Bob for allowing Tom to know so much about her illness. Suddenly, she told Bob he could tell Tom, then when he did, Natalie accused Bob of being unethical to break them up. Tom took that to Bob, who reassured him, then confronted Natalie in front of him. Through fast-talking and a show of tears, Natalie cleared herself. Days Of Our Lives Written by: Pat Falken Smith Produced by: Betty Corday Julie Anderson, badly hurt by the very cold reception she received from her son, David, explained to Doug Williams that David obviously came home for his inheritance from his grandmother, and he was showing his natural father, David Martin’s playboy traits. Indeed, David had asked Marty Hansen – Mickey Horton – to look at the trust papers to see if it could be broken. Julie later told Marty it might be better if David couldn’t get the money immediately, as he would have to rethink his lifestyle, and give Julie time to get a line on Brooke, David’s new fiancee, whom she was convinced was putting on an act. Indeed, seeing Brooke clowning around at Doug’s Place while Doug rehearsed – Julie had long been in love with Doug -, Julie acidly remarked she had “seen Brooke’s performance from the beginning.” Brooke appeared to be crushed and hurried in tears to Phyllis Anderson’s boutique – Phyllis was Bob’s ex-wife – finding Bob there. She told him in tears Julie was sarcastic to her and Bob left to confront Julie. Playing Phyllis’ jealousy of Julie, Brooke told her she wanted Julie to love her as her own mother had died. Phyllis compassionately embraced Brooke, who stood there self-satisfied. Brooke then fed Phyllis’ self-pity, assuring her Julie got pregnant only to hold Bob, and telling Phyllis she would get Bob back one day. Bob castigated his wife Julie for being cold to Brooke and Julie in turn was annoyed that Bob was at Phyllis’ again. Julie then went to Don Craig for reassurance. He told her that he found Brooke dressing up in Julie’s clothes and noted her fascination with them as if she had seen what she wanted and was moving in on it. Learning of David’s half-million inheritance, Don warned Julie not to meet this straight on or she would lose. He suggested playing it Brooke’s way – fight sweetness with sweetness. While out walking, David accidentally discovered The David Martin clinic, which he didn’t know existed. Walking in, he found Susan, who was shocked to see him. He vaguely remembered her as the woman who took care of him, but was amazed to learn she was his father’s wife. Realizing what lied ahead, Susan asked Doug to tell Julie she would accept anything Julie felt she had to tell David. When David finally asked Julie to tell him about his father, David Martin, Julie straightforwardly explained she and David were in love, but following a lover’s quarrel, he got Susan pregnant, and, at Julie’s prompting, married her. Susan then would not give him the divorce she had promised and when Susan’s baby, Dickie died accidentally as a result of David’s inadvertent carelessness, Susan shot and killed David and was later acquitted on a verdict of temporary insanity. David accepted all this, coming away with admiration for his mother. Their relationship seemed to become closer and David began to fell he had come home. Brooke however was horried to find that David was honest in his admiration of Julie and insisted that she was leaving. As David tried to pacify her by reminding her of the money, she tried to alienate his affections for Julie by reminding him that Julie gave him up for adoption. David was disgusted at her attempt, but felt he had to find out why. He questioned his grandfather Tom Horton, who admitted it was he who practically forced 16-year-old Julie to give her son up for adoption. He then added Julie returned and fought to regain him in a bitter custody battle and then married Scott Banning so David would not lose the only father he ever knew. David was deeply affected by this. He felt he owed her so much and admitted he hated Mom for all the wrong reasons, because he never understood. When Julie told Susan she had to tell David the truth, she was horrified when Susan hysterically accused her of throwing her to the wolves. Still sure that Brooke was not what she appeared to be, Julie asked Don to investigate the girl’s background. Brooke, however, decided to try another angle, and went to Julie contritely confessing she tried on her clothes and Don caught her. She said her parents did not have money, she was a scholarship student at the university and put on the act she did as she was afraid Julie would think she wasn’t good enough for her son. She then asked Julie’s forgiveness. Julie, overjoyed with her new friendship with David, accepted Brooke’s apology and even sent Brooke on a shopping spree to Phyllis’ boutique. She then told Don to cancel the investigation, but he replied, “You may be taken in, but not me. I’ll pay for the investigation if I’m wrong.” Julie, sure that he relationship with both Brooke and David was fine, was very happy and content with her life. Even with her new clothes, Brooke still couldn’t keep out of Julie’s closet and trying on Julie’s full length mink told herself, “I’m going to have it all – money, position, clothes, and nobody is going to stand in my way.” David warned Brooke she’d better cover that story about a dead mother before Phyllis started repeating it and Julie picked up on it. So, Brooke cleverly told Bob, with tears in her eyes, she always said her mother was dead, making him feel like a cad for mentioning it. However, returning from an evening out, Julie found Brooke and David making love in Bob’s studio and told David his lack of discretion could embarrass Bob. David cruelly reminded her of his illegitimacy, saying like mother like son. Julie slapped his face. Julie was horried, sure she had lost David again. Brooke later assured her she hadn’t but implied she, Brooke, was the one who can smoothed the troubled waters. Depressed by David and her marriage to a man she didn’t love, Julie drove to Doug’s Place where Neil Curtis, in a moment of honesty, told her Doug still loved her and made reference to her cancelled abortion. Julie confronted Doug who admitted he broke off their marriage plans to stop the abortion. He admitted he loved her, but they both realized there was nothing they could do about it. Bob awoke to find Julie gone and Brooke; on a calculated hunch, called her at Doug’s Place – Brooke had sensed something between Julie and Doug -. Julie rushed home and surprised Brooke by gaily telling Bob she had been having hot chocolate at Doug’s Place. Robert LeClair had returned from Paris and Doug asked him to come back to work as as singer at Doug’s Place as he needed more time for his daughter Hope who would soon be living with him. Marty Hansen told Linda Phillips he felt he could confide in her because she made no demands on him and admitted he was remembering his past – Marty who was Mickey Horton had amnesia following open heart surgery and until recently had no memory of his previous life. – He once had an affair with Linda. He was married to Maggie Hansen who was recovering from surgery to regain use of her paralysed legs -. Linda tried to hide the desperate need she had to know if he remembered their affair as she saw his disgust over the man who hwas Mickey Horton. Linda continued to make herself indispensable to Maggie, and it was to Linda that Maggie admitted she was terrified of Mary’s memory returning as the Horton world was more interesting than the Hansen world. Bill Horton, Maggie’s doctor and Mickey’s brother, accused Linda of undermining Maggie’s spirits by actually proposing the idea of Marty’s memory returning and he ordered her to stay away from Maggie. However, without Linda there to support her, Maggie’s courage faded and her therapy suffered a setback. Marty, seeing Maggie’s helplessness, went to Linda, accusing her of abandoning Maggie. She tearfully told him Bill ordered her to stay away. Marty insisted that Linda was important to Maggie and had to visit her. Mike went to Linda accusing her to using Maggie for her own motives. He was disgusted at his father for being taken in. Marty decided that Maggie’s recovery didn’t need to occur at the hospital and he began arrangements to take Maggie home to the farm and provide therapy for her there. Linda had agreed to accompany them. Feeling Maggie’s health as well as Michael’s relationship with his father were being risked, Tom accused Marty of taking Maggie away from the hospital for his sake, not her’s. Upset to learn Michael wouldn’t visit the farm if Linda was going to be there. Marty confronted the boy who told Marty that Linda was not giving Maggie reassurances, she was increasing her doubts and fears. Marty warned Mike not to make him choose between his wife and his son. Maggie told Marty they couldn’t leave while there was trouble between him and his son. Trish Clayton, with whom Michael lived platonically, pointed out that if indeed Linda had driven a wedge between him and his father, perhaps he had better go to the farm to protect Maggie’s interests. Maggie told Tom she feared that staying in Salem could give her husband another heart attack. Linda tried to win Mike over by admitting she loved Mickey, but not Marty. Mike asked if Linda’s daughter was his half-sister. Linda said no, but she wished she were. Mike wasn’t swayed and still refused to go to the farm. Jim Phillips believed Linda’s reason for cancelling her apartment lease was their possible reconciliation, until he learned she was going to the farm. He was furious at Marty’s appropriated his ex-wife and his daughter, and was sure Marty was becoming Mickey again. Trish missed her mother Jeri badly, but told her step-father not to instigate a search for her. Then Trish asked Doug to help her conduct the search. Brooke, prying this time at Trish’s, had learned Jeri was once arrested for prostitution and dropped this fact on David when she felt he was too attracted to Trish. Trish admitted to mike she was embarrassed that David and Brooke assumed they slept together because they lived together. Mike assured her whay they really were was what was important and they agreed they had a special relationship. Susan apologized to Amanda for her jealousy. Amanda assured Susan she was no threat; Susan’s husband, Dr. Greg Peters was just a friend, and she, Amanda, was still fighting her feelings for her ex-financé, Dr. Neil Curtis; However, at the clinic, Greg professed his love for her, but Amanda said she still loved Neil. She tried to convince him to return to Susan, but Greg said he doubted if the marriage could be or was worth saving. Amanda later admitted to Greg she was susceptible to him, but refused to hurt Susan’s marriage. She told him, however, he had shown her she could be with another man than Neil. Amanda had previously known that Susan’s baby, Ann, was not Greg’s child, but only when she read Greg’s brother Eric’s novel, In My Brother’s Shadow, did she realize that it was Eric who was the baby’s father and she asked Eric, who confirmed this. Greg told Susan he did have deep feelings for Amanda, but she hadn’t reciprocated. Susan, pleased he had opened up to her, told Greg the confrontation with Julie made her realize that she had been a shrew. Greg noted that she seemed different. Amanda told Neil she was upset by his letting himself and his career fall apart with his drinking and gamblind. She continued to insist, however, that she no longer cared about him romantically. But he pointed out she was very obviously concerned. Learning of Neil’s precarious financial situation, Phyllis convinced him to let her advance him a loan. Phyllis, who had been seeing Neil socially, remarked to Amanda that nothing could come of it because of their age difference, among other things. And, when Neil tried to make Phyllis accept him as a serious man in her life, she backed off, afraid to take this sept. When Neil finally paid Greg his overdue salary, Greg accused Neil of being law in his practice, noting more and more of Neil’s patients were coming to him, Greg. Neil told Greg that was what he was being well-paid for. Neil was jubilant at a change in luck in his poker game and arrived at Amanda’s with his winnings to repay a loan she had made him. He was horrified to learn Greg had been trying to locate him. His longtime patient, Jim Warner, had suffered a massive attack and surgery had been delayed as Jim’s wife, Cynthia, had refused to give consent without Neil’s concurrence. Arriving at the hospital with Neil, Amanda was touched at Cynthia’s complete faith in Neil. When Neil later told Cynthia that Jim didn’t make it, she assured him he and the other doctors did all they could. Neil, in great pain, turned to Amanda incredulously stating, “My God, she’s trying to comfort us!” Amanda took Neil home to her apartment and put him to bed. Greg arrived and angrily announced he was filling charges with the medical board against Neil for being out of touch with his answering service. Amanda told Greg he was so self-righteous. If he ever fell, it would be a long way down. Greg then said he loved her but she replied Neil needed her, he couldn’t make her choose. As he insisted he needed her as a woman and continued to vilify Neil as a doctor, Neil walked in and assured Greg he would see Cynthia’s face forever. Greg angrily left and Neil admitted he heard their discussion and pressed Amanda to admit she had made love to Greg once. They argued and she threw him out. He went to Doug’s Place where Greg, still seething, dropped Neil with two quick blows. Neil, smiling, assured Doug he had it coming. The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock Produced by: Joseph Stuart Althea Davis, forewarned by her ex-husband, Dave, that their daughter Penny was on her way to Hope University to begin pre-med to be a better doctor than Althea, confided her ambivalence to Maggie Powers. She wanted what was best for Penny and wished her well, but couldn’t completely accept Penny’s determination to be a stranger. Maggie picked Penny up at the airport and and tried to make peace, but Penny rejected her efforts. Penny decided something she wanted was Andy Anderson, who was committed to Steve Aldrich’s step-niece, Stacy Wells, who was recovering from a bad affair with a married man. When Penny learned Stacy’s history of estrangement from her mother, she used that to begin to undermine Stacy’s confidence and convince Andy that Stacy was a weak character, because she wouldn’t stant to her mother like Penny stood up to Althea. When Andy didn’t buy the weak character bit, Penny realized she had to back off a bit. Meanwhile, after an attempt at reconciliation that failed, Althea was pained at Penny’s presence. The judgemental presence of Ann Larimer in Carolee and Steve Aldrich’s house didn’t ease the tension between Steve and Carolee since Carolee inadvertently told Erich that Karen Werner was his rela mother. Ann and Steve were becoming convinced they were the only one who understood Steve’s predicament. Meanwhile, as Carolee was planning to take Erich to visit her mother, Karen persuaded Steve to accompany Erich and her to the cricus the same day. Carolee felt as though she no longer counted, so decided to take Erich to Wyndham Falls before Karen got to the house. When Steve discovered they were gone and couldn’t reach Karen to head her off, Ann was there to sympathize. Karen demanded she have Erich to herself the following day and Steve agreed, afraid to cross Karen, even when he knew, from Erich’s happiness after Wyndham Falls, that Carolee was right. Steve was afraid Karen would drag out Stephanie’s parentage in a nasty court battle. Mike Powers left Singapore for home, unaware that his family was convinced the Mike Powers, who would arrive was an impostor named Robert Wales, an ex-shipmate of Mike’s. As he neared home, Mike’s fantasies about the attitudes of his father Matt and his wife Toni became more relatistic. Mike met a minister on the plane who caused Mike to reexamine his feelings about Toni, which he found in conflict with his feelings for nurse Dawn. Confused, Mike arrived at the Madison, where he was confronted by Alan Stewart, who called Mike a leach and impostor and demanded he leave. As they came to blows, Sgt. Ernie Cadman arrived. When Mike couldn’t remember the whereabouts of Martha Allen the night he and Toni were engaged, Cadman took an angry, bitter Mike in for questioning, and didn’t call Matt for 24 hours. Armed with Mike’s lithium notebook, Matt confronted the “impostor,” and belatedly realized the man was Mike when Mike quoted from the notebook. Matt embraced Mike, who caustically noted that bridging half the world hadn’t helped bridge the gap between them. Mike refused to see Alan who accompanied Matt, but Alan went in anyway to apologie. Mike refused the apology, pointedly demanding to see his wife, alone, in his hotel room the following day. Alan broke the news to Toni, who was glad that Mike was alive, and understood why he left the previous November, but was puzzled about his return. Alan and Matt tried to persuade her from seeing Mike alone, because he was bitter, but Toni maintained Mike had the right since she was his wife. Toni asked Mike why he returned and was stunned when he said he came because of his son. At his request, Toi showed Mike photos of Michael Paul and Mike was moved to tears. Mike asked to see his son, but refused to see Michael under Alan’s roof – ever, and demanded Toni set up regular meetings elsewhere. Hank Iverson, the only person to reserve judgement about the impostor theory, went to see Mike with open arms. Mike felt Hank was the only person who cared about him. Maggie asked Mike how he could leave the previous November, allowing not only Matt, but his sister Greta to grieve. Mike caustically noted Toni didn’t grieve long, but Maggie changed that idea. Afraid Mike might use her living with Alan as an excuse to impede a speedy divorce, Toni moved back with Martha, giving Mike hope she still loved him, as he had come to realize his love for her never died. Joe tried to convince Mike that Toni loved Alan, but Mike didn’t believe it because Joe was Alan’s best friend. Mike went to see his son and Toni early, but they were gone to visit Alan. Martha covered. When Mike and his son met, Mike talked to Toni through Michael Paul, saying he loved them both with all his heart. When Mike asked to make a new life, Toni said her life was with Alan. Mike told her she could have Alan, but he would not let another man raise his son and the would make it on their own – Mike’s face had been altered totally by plastic surgery following an explosion at sea. The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson Monticello’s Crime Commission, appointed to investigate the organized underworld activities of their beleaguered city, had been headed by the highly respected lawyer Mike Karr for over a year with the complete cooperation of Police Chief Bill Marceau and his trusted assistant, Lt. Luke Chandler. When the police finally contacted a possible secret witness, Ernie Casper, someone who had been high enough up in the ranks of the organization to name the names of all the important underworld bosses, an all out campaign of scrict security had to prevail to protect the life of his valuable witness. Mike, selected as Casper’s contact, met with him in a sleazy waterfront bar called Pier 19 and arranged to comply with Casper’s demands of no police protection and guaranteed him a large sum of money and a new identity in a foreign country for his valuable information. As good faith, Mike got Casper to agree to give the police the name of te mob’s informant placed in Police Headquarters, in return for $5.000. Just as Mike arrived at Pier 19, expecting to learn the informant’s name, he discovered Casper had been killed! Bill, Luke and Mike were mystified and chagrined as ti how their well-guarded secret could have poissibly leaked out resulting in the mob’s removal of their key witness before they could gain any useful information. The whole story leaked to the newspaper, presumable through the spy at Police Headquarters, further galled Bill and succeeded in frightening all other possible Crime Hearing witnesses underground. Johnny Dallas, once a part of the dyndicate as an undercover agent for the Crime Commission, had settled down into a peaceful life of running his popular New Moon Café and looking forward to the arrival of Laurie and his first child soon to be born after Laurie’s tragic and upsetting miscarriage. John found himself reluctantly involved again with crime when Gerald Kincaid, the mob’s silent partner in the New Moon, threatened Laurie’s life if John didn’t comply and “bug” his father-in-law’s private study phone so the mob could learn the name of the Crime Commission’s secret witness, who threatened the security of the anonymity of the mob’s key leaders. John, desperate to protect his vulnerable wife, complied, but almost immediately removed the bug. When Casper was found dead, John believed himself responsible but unknown to him, the bug hadn’t even been activated and it was the barman at Pier 19 who had informed Kincaid and who was really responsible for Casper’s death. Kincaid, cleverly seizing the opportunity to keep John entangled, gave John the complete ownership of the New Moon as his promised payment for services will rendered. At a follow-up meeting in Mike’s private study at home, Bill made a startling discovery that Mike’s phone might have been tampered with but they couldn’t be absolutely certain. Nancy Karr, learning of Mike’s activites, was alarmed over her husband’s dangerous involvement with hoodlums again and the possible threat to her home and family. Nancy was further concerned when Laurie, who had already confided in her mother about John’s strange over-protective attitude about her safety, and John appeared to be developing a rift in their heretofore happy marriage. At a confidential Crime Commission meeting between Luke, Mike and Brandy Henderson, who is the Assistant D.A. and liaison between the city’s law enforcement agencies and the Crime Commission, Luke told of the futile secret investigation that Bill had conducted to expose the spy at Police Headquarters, and postulated the spy had to be in the only other possible office that had access to confidential matters – Brandy’s office! Adam Drake found himself further drawn into helping the lovely and deeply troubled Serena Farady. Having only recently resumed his relationship with Brandy, Adam assured Brandy that Serena was only a friend who needed help, nothing more. Adam, reminding Brandy that their resumed relationship was to remain a casual one, discovered that Brandy had difficulty keeping her deep regards for Adam in check. Serena, showing Adam her lovely oil portrait slashed to an almost unrecognizable state, and a second lipsticked death threat on her living room mirror, begged Adam’s help. Serena was convinced her ex-husband, Mark was responsible for all the vandalism and Adam was half inclined to believe her, because Mark did have a duplicate key to her apartment. Mark stoutly denied any part or any knowledge of there stange happenings and warned Adam that Serena was just using him. Adam was further upset when Mark seemed to know about Adam’s weekend plans to spend time with little Timmy, something he couldn’t have possibly been told. Although Adam felt rather coerced into following up on Serena’s unsanctioned promises to her son Timmy, he was understandably concerned when Timmy, awakened from a nightmare told of a dark-haired woman who had come to his private boarding school wanting to kill him. Serena, who appeared to have a restrained, subdued and vulnerable character, was actually, unknown to everyone – even to herself suffering from the clinical malady of a dual personality. The Josie side was brash, sexually aggressive and domineering and presented an actual threat to Serena and Timmy’s safety. Serena rationalized her strange behavior as fatigue or memory lapses, which had plagued her sporadically since her transient and unstable childhood. While acting under the influence of the Josie personality, she became friendly with Kincaid, who believed he had uncovered blackmail material against John, because John and Josie were loves. Kincaid was annoyed when he called a phone number, secretly taken off an I.D. on Josie’s keyring, only to have a rather indignant Serena tell him she didn’t know who he was. After a delightful weekend together, Adam, preparing to drive home, realized a small gift had been left in his car and returned unexpectedly to Serena’s apartment. Adam, finding the front door unlocked, and a terrified Timmy, who had sought refuge by huddling behind his bedroom door, hysterically screaming for his mother to save him from the threatening dark-haired lady who had suddenly appeared, rushed to the boy’s rescue. Josie, who hid in the closet as Adam entered, managed to give Adam the slip by getting away in the elevator before he had a chance to catch her. Mrs. Geraldine Whitney’s simulated heart attack succeeded in her desire postponement of her ward Kevin Jamison’s marriage to Phoebe Smith, who had gone to work for the handsome and eligible Dr. Quentin Henderson, psychiatrist. Quentin had moved into his own apartment and admitted to his sister, Brandy, that he had fallen in love with his secretary Phoebe, who was discovering the young doctor had a sympathetic ear and firm should to cry on. When Geraldine accidentally overheard Kevin denouncing Noel Douglas’ infidelities with Tracy Dallas, she demanded Noel and all connections with Tracy as a price for Kevin’s and her silence to protect Tiffany from ever learning the truth. General Hospital Written by: Bridget & Jerome Dobson / Richard & Suzanne Holland Produced by: Tom Donovan Troubled times for the 7th Floor and General Hospital when Dr. Steve Hardy and Dr. Joel Stratton were forced to stand by and watch their medical careers be placed in jeopardy while controversy raged over who was entitled to research the various patient complaint files, including the disputed Pizzara case involving a malpractice law suite. While Mr. Thurston, Administrative Head of the hospital, and his assistant, Margaret Colson, who secretly bore a deep-rooted grudge against Joel, her former lover, had the files, Steve and Joel were completely unable to defend themselves against the charges. Steve, insisting he had complete confidence in Joel as a cardiac surgeon, was still worried about the reputation of the hospital because of his fiancée Kira Faulkner’s public announcement of the unsubstantiated charges brought against the hospital, which she had publicized on her popular newscast program. Steve’s personal feelings for Kira had been affected by her actions because he believed she should have been helping him and what obviously was a most important element in his life – General Hospital – and, instead, was defending her right to be an investigative reporter and expose the truth to the community no matter what the consequences. Kira believed their was no point in having an engagement if they couldn’t even discuss their future wedding date and returned the lovely diamond engagement ring to Steve. When Kira finally obtained the needed legal papers to gain accesse to the transcript and files, Thurston refused at first, threatening a long court battle, but Steve effectively fought for Kira’s legal rights, claiming the longer the hospital refused to allow anyone to see them, the more it appeared to the public that the hospital, was trying to cover up and Thurston relinquished the controversial records to Kira. Later, at the T.V. station, Steve asked a favor from Kira to allow Joel and him to have the files so that they might review them and to thus delay her public announcement. At some personal risk to her career and the station’s “scoop,” she agreed to let Steve have the records. Joel, who had lost all will to fight the malpractice suit, appeared to have lost his confidence in his medical judgements as well, and refused to operate or give his opinions on medical consultations. Steve, pleased with Kira’s cooperation about allowing them a few days to examine the transcripts, was upset over Joe’s defeatist attitude and wondered about Joel’s innocence. When Margaret permitted Joel to see some original patient files, he was stunned to read about his questionable diagnosis and procedures in handling the case. Even though Joel couldn’t truthfully remember the former patient clearly, he was forced to realize he might have been negligent in the handling of the patient’s cardiac procedures. Audrey Hobart, whose life had been a series of battles with her drunken husband the former Head of the Cardiac Unit, Jim, had been driving to seek help and guidance from the local AL-ANON Group. When Jim mistakenly assumed Audrey’s evening meetings with lawyer Lee Baldwin, a reformed alcoholic, were come kind of a tryst, she confessed her fears over his drinking and all about AL-ANON. Jim, hurt and belligerent, insisted he was not an alcoholic and refused to allow Audrey to go to any more meetings. When Jim cut his hand in a drunken encounter at Johnny’s Bar, the barman took him to Joel and the Free Clinic where Steve, who happened to be there discussing the malpractice suit with Joel, insisted on driving Jim home. Steve, understanding Audrey’s concern for her unemployed husband, suggested Jim use his expert medical knowledge to act as one of the impartial examiners of the complaint files against Joel, who ironically as the man who replaced Jim as the head cardiac surgeon. When signs of serious heart complications were added to the already dangerously ill Joanne Dawson’s critical kidney damage, brought on by the complications of a strep infection, her worried mother Jane turned to her friends for emotional support. Jane, believing Joanne would soon recover and making plans to being a more meaningful life together with her cheerful, sweet little daughter, as her divorce from Howie, was behind her, was completely destroyed when Joanne’s little heart just couldn’t function any longer and the child died. Jane shocked her concerned friends when she bitterly lashed out at Howie for having a secret vasectomy which prevented her from bearing more children. Diana Taylor, who remained beside the grieving mother, realized how much she would lose if her only daughter, Martha, had been in Joanne’s place. Diana and Dr. Peter Taylor, who was secretly the father of Augusta’s unborn child, had just purchased a lovely new home and were finally a happy family unit. Peter consistently refused to discuss Diana’s desire about adopting another child. After the death of little Joanne, Diana believed Peter should be the one to go to the women’s prison and tell Augusta about Jane’s loss because of Augusta’s close friendship with Jane. Since Peter was the one that Augusta confessed to and had received mail from her, everyone believed that the sympathetic psychiatrist was just a close friend of the otherwise friendless confessed killer of Dr. Phil Brewer. Jessie Brewer, formerly married to Phil, recalled a conversation where he openly inferred Peter and Augusta were much closer than just good friends. Jessie, who was trying to understand the reasons why Phil became such a different person just before his murder, regretted mentioning Phil’s hostile innuendos to Peter. Peter’s intended arrival was noticed by prison trustee and cellmate Billie Dutton as being more than just a casual visit from a friend. Dr. Lesley Williams, deeply hurt and bewildered over Joel’s sudden coolness towards her, reflected over her life and concluded she could never have a lasting relationship with any man. Unknown to anyone, Joel feared the recent discovery of heart trouble might mean the same serious inherited problems that claimed the life of his brother Owen and he didn’t want Lesley to know. Working daily in the Free Medical Clinic, which was supported by the wealthy Cameron Faulkner, Lesley treated a timid young man named Felix Buchanan for peptic ulcers which were aggravated by emotional stress and a poor diet. Felix, an unemployed veterinary assistant, was fearful of hospital, but promised to follow all Lesley’s medical instructions. Lesley, who had had to change her phone number recently because of numerous anonymous crank calls from a muffled voice claiming he loved her and wanted to protect her from the dirty world, was unaware that Felix not only had been the one calling her, but was also keeping her little English style cottage under surveillance as well. Cameron told Kira, his ex-wife, of his plans to propose marriage to Lesley. Lesley, not wanting to be alone forever and highly impressed with Cam’s desire to have more children, was undecided about her answer to Cam’s proposal. The Guiding Light Written by: Robert Cenedella / Bridget & Jerome Dobson Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg Dr. Ed Bauer, recovering from surgery following gun shot wonds inflicted by his emotionally disturbed brother-in-law, Ken Norris, told his wife Holly that Dr. Steve Jackson was not eager to do a resection of the neurona in Ed’s arm because while there was a 50 percent chance of total cure, there was also a 50 percent chance of total permanent paralysis. Ed felt, however, as a neurosurgeon, that his present partial paralysis was as hopeless as total. Recovered enough to undergo electromyography, Ed’s test results showed scar tissue indeed blocking the nerve, requiring cutting and resuturing. Ed was called upon to give a deposition to the police in which he explained that Ken was not responsible for what happened and to put him on trial would be as senseless as the shooting. On the basis of Ed’s statement and his personal plea for Ken, the criminal charges against him had been dropped and he was entered into a sanitarium for treatment. Barbara Thorpe, Holly’s mother, was overjoyed when her son Andrew called from Paris and agreed to come home upon receipt of money that Adam, Barbara’s husband, would send him. Barbara told Adam she might have done something wrong because Andrew stayed away and out of contact for 5 years. She was apprehensive about his return. When he arrived, he apologized to her for not being there when she was going through the enormous problems with Ken. Indeed, upon his first visit with the family to Ken in the state hospital, Andrew was badly upset and felt it was indeed hopeless. Andrew admitted to the family he had literary aspirations and when Barbara offered him the guest house, he agreed to stay there under the condition he would refurbish it. Holly pointed out he could stay and write there as well as anywhere, but Andrew replied that while he was staying for the present, he was not sure he could write there. Andrew immediately sensed Holly was under pressure and brushed off her assurances it was Ed’s arm injury, pointing out he had always known when she was concealing something. Under Andrew’s pressure and her own need to share the burden, Holly told her brother about her disastrous affair with Roger Thorpe a few years ago, her subsequent entrapment of Ed into marriage, the problems of her affair with Roger when he returned to town. Holly explained the baby was Roger’s, she and Ed were sleeping in separate rooms when it was conceived and she was terrified that Ed would realize this when the child he had so eagerly awaiting was born a month too early. She admitted her feelings for Roger were ambivalent, she wouldn’t have made love to him if she didn’t love him, but Ed was her concern. Her guilt had been increased with Ed’s recent firm declaration of love and hope in their marriage. Roger, who was in love with Peggy Fletcher, continued to assure Holly everyone would merely think the baby was prematrure. Andrew assured Holly she was no longer alone in this – she had him. Young Billy Fletcher called Roger thanking him for attending his school play, explaining his mother, Peggy, saw Roger and was not mad – Peggy and Roger dated seriously until Roger inadvertently endangered Peggy and Billy’s lives when he became involved with a loan shark. – Roger later told Peggy he attended the play for himself, not to upset her. She answered she realized this and felt Billy had a right to his own friend. Peggy later told Leslie she was afraid to take another chance with Roger, even though she really wanted to, and later admitted to Ed that she was drawn to Roger, almost against her will. Holly became quiet upset when Ed casually mentioned this conversation with Peggy. And, despite her desire to forget the past, Holly, upon learning Roger might go to Mexico on a business venture with a friend, begged him not to go. Roger later told his father, Adam, he was not leaving, but the reason was his hope he could somehow reconcile with Peggy. Pam Chandler, whose infant daughter Samantha was living at home with her at Bert Bauer’s house, told Peggy nothing would be gained by telling David he had a daughter. David, a college student, with whom Pam had lived, was unable to accept the responsibility of marriage or parenthodd when Pam found herelf pregnant and she moved to Springfield to have her child. Pam was somewhat down at Peggy’s glowing report of how Tim was a different man when he was around Billy, more outgoing and happy, and she later admitted to Bert that it did bother her that Tom was dating Peggy albeit casually. Running into Tim at Ed Bauer’s, Pam was pleased when he complimented her saying motherhood seemed to agree with her and when he indicated a desire to see Samantha, Bert enlarged Pam’s assurance he could visit anytime with a dinner invitation which Tim accepted. As the evening of the dinner approaches, however, Pam suffered from growing apprehension over it which Bert recognized as Pam’s hidden feelings tom him. After a series of probing sessions with Ed and Steve on his reasons for changing medical specialties, Tim was allowed to switch from OG/GYN to neurosurgery on the understanding he had to drop from chief resident to assistant resident in his new speciality. Tim, who dated Peggy casually, dropped his guard at one moment to say there was a girl in Springfield. When Peggy, sensed his tone, asked if things ended that badly, he replied, “She’s dead.” Leslie Bauer took over Janet Norri’s job at the free clinic working with her father, Dr. Jackson. Leslie was happily surprised to run into Chad Richards at the clinic. She went steady with him in high school. He explained he had been playing guitar with a local band, but recently left the road tour. He was at the free clinic as he had been having headaches and sort of conscious blackouts. He came to, but never was really out. Leslie was very upset when Steve later said he was ordering tests for Chad as his symptoms indicated a possible brain tumor. Drs. Sara McIntyre and Joe Werver were very upset at young T.J.’s vehement refusal to return to the foster home and Sara hesitantly asked Joe if T.J. could possibly live with them. She was thrilled when he said he had been thinking the same thing and their only fear was that T.J. couldn’t take another failure. The boy was overjoyed to learn they wanted to be his foster parents and was more than pleased with the gift of a ball and glove awaiting him when he arrived at the Werner home. T.J. was introduced to Billy Fletched and they hit it off beautifully, particularly when T.J. turned out to be a baseball natural and Billy invited him to practice sessions. T.J. then impressed the coach and was asked to join the team. T.J. was wary of the idea of summer school until Joe and Sara assured him even if he didn’t do well, it wouldn’t affect their concern for him. As Joe carefully built T.J.’s confidence in himself, the bonds of family in the Werner household seemed to grow stronger every day.

Arlene told him their fabricated story about David finding her wandering drunkenly down the highway and taking her home with him to sober up.

Meg Hart offered her love the money to rebuild the club, but Rick said it was the only thing he owned lock, stock and barrel and didn’t want her money. Their Beaver Ridge project was different because she was a partner. Cal, confused about giving up on the mentally disturbed David, as her step-father Eddie Aleata, thought she should, went to see David, but he chased her out because he was nursing Arlene. Rick met her and took her back to Van Sterling’s who offered sympathy. Ben Harper, who had bigamously married Betsy Crawford, his mother’s choice, in order to receive $500.000, was anxiously living out his honeymoon on Paradise Island waiting to get home, get the check and leave with his secret wife, Arlene. He called his mother, Meg, who told been it had been arranged with the Crawfords that they newlyweds would stay with her. Rick, the only person who knew about Ben’s bigamy, had convinced Meg that Ben was not mature enough to handle money and a test period of 6 months would make a difference. Meg herself decided that since Ben had no job, because of the fire, until Beaver Ridge opened that she could keep an eyen on him too. When the newlyweds arrived home and Meg laid out her new plan, the tension was so great that Ben, nervously laughing, crushed a champagne glass in his hand. The following morning, he paid Rick a visit, saying it had to be Rick’s idea so Meg would finish Beaver Ridge before she collapsed over his leaving with the money and Arlene, but Rick claimed no knowledge. Ben threatened to tell Meg, but reconsidered, afraid Arlene might be hard to handle. When Ben finally visited Arlene and explained that he did not have the money, she was ready to run away without it, but Ben said they wouldn’t get very far. She agreed to wait, until she found out it was for 6 months, then said she might leave town or go crazy, but was assuaged by Rick who gave her a job at Beaver Ridge, infuriating Meg, who demanded a say in the future. Ben was alarmed when Betsy told him she would like to have a baby by the time her parents return from England. After warning Ben she didn’t intend to spend the 6 months alone, Arlene called David who arrived with a gift for his best friend, his mother’s pearls, adding to her delight by inviting her ot Beaver Ridge as his date.

One Life To Live Written by: Gordon Russell Produced by: Doris Quinlan The shocking discovery of police fugitive Dr. Mark Toland’s body – shot to death by a .32 caliber gun after a struggle, sometime between 9 o’clock and 10 o’clock p.m. – in the nearby parking lot of the Llanview Motel had rocked the peaceful existence of the inhabitants of the town. As the public clamors for more information from the local newpspaer, The Banner, owned and operated by the powerful Victor Lord, Police Lt. Ed Hall, investigating the Toland murder, had clamped the lid down tight on all information regarding the case. Ed received his first break when the motel’s desk clerk, Charley Woods, recognized Victor’s photo in the paper as one of Toland’s late night visitors. Since Ed was already suspicious of Victor, because of the unique, expensive umbrella found in Toland’s room – the other clue was a valuable jade medaillion -, he interrogated Chapin, Victor’s trusted man-servant, who denied Victor’s ownership of the umbrella. Ed, confronting Victor with the facts, learned that Victor received a call from Toland that night, but claimed he never entered Toland’s room because he was not in his room when Victor knocked. Further denying possible ownership of the umbrella, Victor claimed he couldn’t have left it inside the motel room. Victor recognized the umbrella as one he loaned to Dorian Cramer, and later confronted her in front of Matt McAllister, Victor’s trusted protégé, about it and learned that Matt had “borrowed” it because of the stormy weather when he went to Toland’s room to supposedly ask Toland to leave Dorian alone, but claimed Toland was absent whe he arrived. Victor, who was in love with Dorian felt betrayed by Dorian for not revealing her contact with Toland and ordered Matt to go to directly to the police and tell them his story, which he did, byt Ed was no more taken in by Matt’s story than anyone else’s. Eventually Dorian was able to regain Victor’s confidence and she learned of his love for her while it appeared that Matt had permantely lost favor with Victor. Matt bitterly threatened Dorian with exposure of all her devious plans to entrap Victor, and their plot to cover up knowledge of the valuable Randolph documents revealing the existence of Victor’s long lost illegitimate son if she tried to cut him out and got it alone. While Dorian attempted to gain the forgiveness Matt sought from Victor, she learned that Victor felt Matt had not only disappointed him personally, but professionally as well. Victor realized he was not only using Matt as an inadequate substitute for the son he longed to have to carry on Victor’s family name forcefully. Ed’s second big lead was the police artist’s portrait, taken from the description of the desk clerk, of Toland’s second vistor that night. Although Vinnie Wolek, against the wishes of his wife Wanda, was assisting Ed with the investigation, even though he was laid off because of City cutbacks on the police force, couldn’t believe the picture was really Tim Siegel’s, Ed was convinced that the entire Siegel family, Eileen, Julie and Tim, had been lying about being home the whole evening and therefore somehow knew of Toland’s death before the police informed them. Ed believed, since the murder was probably not premeditated, that Julie, who admitted seeing her husband Mark in town but claimed she never went to the motel at all, probably told her brother Tim, who was obviously covering up something, about Toland’s whereabouts. After her husband’s funeral, Julie, much to everyone’s concern, seemed to be slipping deeper and deeper into a dangerously depressed state. Ed decided to place a 24-hour surveillance on the Siegel household and noted a reaction when he mentioned the murder weapon. Julie, fearing Tim might have murdered Mark, removed the gun when she discovered the body and threw it away into a wooded area while she drove hom from the motel. When a strange, handsome adventurer, Tony Harris checked into the Llanview Motel with his Japanese “wife”, Michiko, who was a resident of Vietnam and appeared to have a dubious reputation, and began an investigation of his own into the Toland murder case, the curiosity of the police was aroused. Unknown to everyone, Tony, who was trying to retrieve a valuable smuggled jade piece that he believed Toland had, puzzled over a newspaper clipping about Joe and Viki Lord Riley’s wedding taken from the personal effects of his mother. Tony, while managing to meet Joe in a press lounge, claimed to be a freelance writer, and used Joe to gain access to the paper’s old files, when he learned of Julie, Larry and Dorian, who were all closely linked with Toland at the time of the Wilson murder trial. He polotted to further his secret investigation by getting to meet them all eventually. Susan Barry, whose drinking bouts thoroughly wiped out all the memories of her actions, believed the man she loved, Larry, was having an affair with Viki. What she didn’t realized was because of Larry’s respect of Viki’s personal problems about wanting to keep Joe’s illigetimate child Megan’s fatal inherited heart problem a secret from her husband, Larry had been draw closer to his former sister-in-law. Larry and Viki believed they were the only ones who knew about the reason why Toland came back, which was to gain enough money to buy a doctor’s practice in Central America. However, unknown to them, Toland’s first intention was to get Victor to give him the money for the valuable Randolph document which later fell into Dorian and Matt’s hands. Although Larry was puzzled by Susan’s odd behavior whenever Viki was around, and sincerely wanted to help her overcome the drinking problem, he told his sister Anna Craig that it was not a marrying kind of love. Cathy Craig, who believed her little daughter Megan had completely recovered from the serious heart ailment as the “successful” operation had been completed, resumed her career as a writer. Novitiate Jenny Wolek realized she had allowed the appealing Tim Siegel to mean too much to her personally when she attended Sheila Rafferty’s party and became jealous over Sheila’s attentions towards Tim. However the tables turned when Tim, showing too much attention for Sheila’s taste, assisted Jenny after she slightly sprained her ankle at the annual intern’s picnic. Jenny struggled from within over her desire to serve God, as a missionary nun in the Amazon, versus her growing affections for the young man she knew was in serious trouble over his lies regarding his true whereabouts on the night Toland died. She knew Tim was not at home because she called and spoke to Eileen, his mother, about the time of Toland’s murder. Search For Tomorrow Written by: Peggy O’Shea Produced by: Mary-Ellis Bunim Wade and Clay Collins were still feuding over the terms of their father’s will. Wade said he would turn over the profit on the 2 percent controlling shared but it was the control that Clay wanted. Wade seemed to be losing a lot of sleep over this and became very upset with his wife, Janet, when she questioned his motives. Through some long talks with Clay, Janet found out that Clay was always envrious of Wade and finally gave up to be a playboy, until he met Karen through a retarded children’s benefit and from then on, he tried to change to earn her respect. They became engaged, but when Wade came back to Henderson, she started to work with Wade, broke their engagement, and shortly thereafter, Karen and Wade announced their engagement. Clay said Karen had everything until her breakdown. When Wade visited Karen, taking the camera she had asked for, she did not remember his having visited before, even though he came every week, and she accused him of spying on her, like the flowers. Janet was upset with Wade when he got home because he had never told her about Clay and Karen, and she felt this is why Clay and Wade didn’t get along. Wade said this is just another play for sympathy on Clay’s part and he always tried to stir up trouble. Clay visited Karen, saying he was afraid and was going to help her to remember. Janet was also distressed that Liza had made up with Steve Kaslo and decided to move in with him for the summer. Steve was going back to work for Dave Wilkins at Collins Construction, but only on blueprints until his knee healed. He was going back to school at night to pick up his college credits so that he could apply to law school. Stephane Wilkinson finally told Wendy they were going to stay in Henderson. Her ex-husband, Dave, made some snide remarks about her working for Clay Collins when she told him she was not ready for a replay of their rocky marriage. Eunice Wyatt had an interest in Robin, a young girl picked up for prostitution, who was later brought in as an emergency patient and who had obviously been beaten, but claimed to have fallen down the stairs. She had been beaten for trying to leave town after being released from Juvenile Hall, and Sam Hunter, the new D.A., was warned by Mr. McCredy that there would be no more raids unless he was given direct order – he could “unbecome” the D.A. as easily as he became D.A. Tony Vincente operated on Robin and tried his best to help her, but she refused to talk. Jo picked up travel brochures for cruises all over the world, and decided she would take Tony away right after Bruce’s college graduation. Tony thought it was a good idea and planned to take her to Italy to meet his relatives. Bruce was going to New York to seek fame and fortune in the journalism world, and to leave behind the memory of Liza. He also felt badly that Amy Kaslo loved him the way he loved Liza. Robin had a visitor, Kim, whom she told about the beating and said she was leaving the hospital and town before she was released, so they wouldn’t catch her this time. Later, Robin received a call from Kim, held at knife point, asking when she would be leaving and then warned Robin before hanging up. Robin called her parents, but didn’t say anything, and then started to pack. She was stopped by Joey, one of her attackers, and was held until the hall cleared. Jo went with Tony to check on patient and had coffee with Dr. Bob Rogers while Tony went upstairs. Tony saw Joey drag Robin down the stairs and tried to rescue her. He wresled with Joey and when Joey pulled a knife, threatening to kill him if he and Robin couldn’t leave, Tony clutched his heart and fell down the stairs, where he laid dying while Jo was wondering where he was. Finally she found him, but Bob Rogers said he was dead. After the funeral, Bruce decided to stay on to be on Jo, and John Wyatt wondered what Tony was doing on the stiars. After Tony’s funeral, Jo answered to door to find a young girl who expressed her sympathy and admiration for Tony, but didn’t give her name – it was Robin. Scott Phillip was trying to find out just owh much financial trouble they were in when Jennifer broke the news her father was coming for a visit. She asked that even though Scott disliked Pace, he tried to get along with him for her sake as this was the first time Pace had attempted to be a father. Mr. Pace said he would forgive Scott, but Scott said he needed no forgiveness, that Mr. Pace was the one who had always tried to buy Jennifer’s affections. Then he offered to set Scott up in practice in Maryland and buy them a house, but Scott refused. Scott visited Kathy when he was out walking after Tony’s funeral, and said Eric, his step-ston, could come home when school was over, but Kathy said to let him stay. When Scott got home, Jennifer said he wouldn’t leave town because of Kathy. He admitted he loved Kathy, didn’t love Jennifer and never had. Trying to get away from the things Scott was saying, Jennifer, in hysterics, tripped and smashed through a sliding glass door. At the hospital, Mr. Pace overheard Scott telling the unconscious Jennifer he didn’t mean for this to happen. Mr. Pace told John Wyatt and Eunice he blamed Scott for the “accident” and everything that had happened to his daughter. After blood transfusions, stitches and minor facial cuts – the possibility of scarring not minor to Jennifer – the threat of a ruptured spleen became evident, and Dr. Josephson prepared to operate to save Jennifer’s life, engendering grave danger for the baby she was carrying. Somerset Written by: Don Appell, Doris Frankel & Frank Salisbury Produced by: Lyle B. Hill Eve Lawrence returned to her job at Paisley’s and she and Ned affected a businesslike demeanor, which neither was comfortable with. Eve had been in the hospital, the innocent victim of the person trying to kill her daughter, Heather Kane. Regaining consciousness, hse had mistaken Ned for Julian Cannell, and told him she had never loved Ned, devastating him, because Eve was the first woman he had ever loved. Victoria, ned’s sister, newly returned from Europe, got the story from Ned and told him that he, not Eve, made a fool out of him. With new-won courage Ned went to Eve’s office to try to fathom her feelings about him. Afraid of being hurt and humiliated further, Eve put on a brave front about continuing their successful business relationship and letting the past be the past. Ned solemnly agreed, and left, the conversation giving neither what they really wanted – a reconciliation. Eve, disconcerted, that night drank too much and allowed Tom Conway to make advances, but Heather dropped by, spoiling the mood. Carrie Wheeler, cub reporter on the Register, confided to her mother in Wilkes Barre that she really cared for Greg Mercer, her rival at the paper. Greg, meanwhile, showed real jealousy towards Jill Farmer and Tom Conway. Jill told Greg she wanted only friendship, but he refused to believe that, begging her to love and make love to him at the Kane cabin. Gently, Jill acknowledged his feelings but told him she didn’t love him, or anyone, because it was too soon after Mitch’s death. When Carrie found Greg put her by-line on a story he wrote for her because she had to go to her mother, she thanked him. He, in turn, responded to her, revealing the incident with Jill. Carey warned Greg not to let his self-esteem plummet because he was really a great guy. Greg took her to inner, but they ended up at her apartment where she offered her honor; he honored her offer. Later, Carrie received a phone call – her mother died. Greg pulled her together and got her to the airport, where he agreed to accompany her home. Upon arriving in Wilkes Barre, Carrie lashed out at her father, Jack, saying he had something to celebrate because her mother was dead, then refused to have anything to do with him. Carrie was bitter because her mother spent her last years paralyzed after a car accident. Jack had been drinking, but was never charged. When Greg tried to help, Jack told him it was non of his business. Dorothy Conrad, Jerry Kane’s deranged ex-wife, stood outside the Kane apartment and shot at Heather, who bent over at that moment. Sure her mission was accomplished, Dorothy left. Stan and Terri Kurtz arrived for dinner as the shot was fired. They called Lt. Price, who became more suspicious of Jerry who was detained by emergency surgery, and couldn’t account for every moment before he fot home. Radio and T.V. coverage were extensive and Dorothy was angry because she failed again. Julian was late getting ome to Kate after covering the story with Greg and driving Eve home. Kate was furious when she learned where he had been, accusing him of not only neglecting her for Eve, but of neglecting his responsibility as an editor for sitting on the story all the time and then being scooped. As she ranted, Julian told her to shut up. Lt. Price ordered Jerry to stay in town. When Price received the ballistics report on the bullet fired at Heather, and found it was from the same gun that killed Jerry’s girlfriend Wendy in New York a few years ago, he called Jerry and Heather in for questioning, revealing to Heather for the first time that Jerry was married before. When the shock wore off, Heather backed Jerry, who recalled Dorothy’s brother, Ralph, threatened any woman who came near him. Price found Ralph had an iron-clad alibi for the night of the shooting, but Jerry refused to believe it and left, against Price’s orders, to find Ralph. The following morning’s paper carried a factual story about Jerry’s disappearance, further infuriating Kate because she wanted more sensatonalisme. Julian refused to damange Jerry’s reputation through innuendo and another heated argument ensued. Eve visited Julian to find out if he knew Jerry’s whereabouts. He didn’. He picked up Kate up at Dr. Porter’s and Kate warned him there was such a thing as emotionally induced miscarriage. Jerry found Ralph in Florida – paralysed from the waist down. Ralph told Jerry that the divorce put Dorothy in a mental hospital. Jerry was devastated, assuring Ralph he sincerely felt the divorce was best for all concerned. Back in Somerset, Jerry told Stan and Terri about Dorothy, and the name rang a bell. They checked personnel files and found Dorothy was working at the hospital until the day Jerry came on staff. Dorothy, meanwhile, dressed as a nurse, and using the excuse Stan sent her, gained access to the Kane apartment which Jill had just left with Heather’s keys to pick yp some groceries. Dorothy pulld her gun and told Heather she had to die so Jery would come back to her. Heather played for time, learning Dorothy killed Wendy. Jerry realized Dorothy could be stalking Heather. Dorothy heard a key in the lock and hid, warning Heather not to scream of she was dead. Tom and Jill entered. After assessing the situation, Tom stalled for time. Jerry called to check on Heather, who called him Stan. He bolted out, leaving Terri to call the police. Jerry entered the apartment through the patio door as Dorothy was about to kill Heather. He asked for the gun, but Dorothy refused, talking about their past life. Saying they couldn’t be happy until Heather was dead, Dorothy shot and Jerry lunged, taking the bullet in the shoulder. Tom was able to grab the gun. Ellen and Eve rushed in – they had been coming for a visit -, followed by Lt. Price. Dorothy was taken away. Julian got a tip at gome and, unable to find Greg, left an angry Kate to cover the story himself. At the Kane apartment, he saw Eve was about to fall apart. He took her home where she had four brandies in short order. When he asked, she told him she had to drink to get through the tense days at Paisley’s. He refused her offer to stay the night, and when he left, she collapsed into tears of loneliness. Jerry and Heather claimed Muffin and moved back to the cabin. When Kate found out Julien took Eve home, her jealousy erupted again. Julian, sick of her outbursts about Eve, told Kate he was Eve’s friend and would help her again. Kate was disconsolate. The Young And The Restless Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: John Conboy Jill Foster, who married Brock Reynolds, in a self-performed ceremony that was still unconsummated, was told of the coming divorce of Brock’s mother, Kay, and Phillip Chancellor. Jill took Brock to the restaurant where Phillip used to take her, but they ran into Phillip with Lorie Brooks. When Jill fainted at home, Brock called Dr. Mark Henderson, who told Jill she was pregnant and she asked that he told no one. When Jill and Phillip met the following day, they found they were still in love and Jill told him about the baby, a result of the one time they made love. Since she was not breaking up Phillip’s marriage, she consented to marry him when his divorce was final. Phillip asked his lawyer for the fastest possible divorce and was told he could get it in 24 hours in the Dominican Republic if Kay consented. When Phillip told Lorie that their relationship had ended and he was leaving the country for a few days, Lorie flew into a rage saying he had been her whole life for several months and she put aside her book and had nothing but bills. He picked up the bills on his way out saying he would see to them. Kay confessed to Brock that she knew Phillip was in love with Jill and Brock confessed that he knew also, and married Jill to help her because he cared for Jill. Kay said Phillip ahd to come back to her because she had given up everything and prayed so hard, but Brock said this might be God’s will for someone else. After Brock left, Kay chastised God, and ended up drinking to soothe her nerves. When Phillip arrived after calling, she found God wouldn’t give her a second chance, and, so, signed the papers. When Brock awoke her from a drunken stupor, she refused to believe Phillip had already been there and that she had signed the papers. Kay tried to reach Phillip, to no avail; after his lawyer warned him. Kay finally reached the lawyer in the Dominican Republic, but it was too late and she swore that if she couldn’t have Phillip – no one would. She met his plane and insisted on talking to him. Once in the car, Phillip told Kay he couldn’t give her a second chance as the divorce was already final. When he requested she stop the car, Kay accelerated. A witness said she never tried to manuever the curve, but drove directly off the cliff! Jill told her family she wasn’t legally married to Brock, and would marry Phillip the following day, when Snapper, her intern brother, called and revealed Phillip was critically injured. Jill rused to the hospital to be with Phillip and insisted they be married immediately by the hospital chaplain. Snapped told the family they had little hope that Phillip would recover, while Jill was freshening up for the ceremony. She asked Brock about Kay and was told Kay was in very bad shape. After the ceremony, Phillip told Jill that he wanted her mother to quit her job at the factory and her parents were to start making plans for the new house he would buy them. He also asked Jill, her mother, and father, to go out to celebrate their marriage. Jill was in very good spirits talking about the future. Her parents agreed that things should continue as the were – until Phillip was better. After a while, Jill felt a compulsion to be with Phillip. Kay came out of her coma wondering where Phillip was and Brock explained that Phillip couldn’t come. Snapper, while checking Kay’s vital signs and finding them better, was summoned by a nurse. When Jill arrived at the hospital, Snapper tried to get her to sit down so he could talk to her, but she rushed to Phillip’s room and found the bed empty. Snapped held her as she screamed she loved Phillip. Jill went to the Chancellor house and ordered the maid to dispose of all Kay’s things, and, still in shock, arranged the funeral, a private service with closed casket, followed by burial on the estate. No knowing how to refuse, Snapper permitted Brock to attend. Greg was anxious to file for a surviving spouse’s award for Jill, because she was spending money for the funeral she was not legally entitled to spend. Meanwhile, alone in the hospital, Kay groped her way to what was Phillip’s room, pouring out her sorrow over the accident to the back of a sleeping form. Horrified to discover the man wasn’t Phillip, Kay stumbled out. Seeing a newspaper with Phillip’s name and picture, Kay discovered his death, but, suspicious of the closed casket, sneaked out of the hospital to the funeral. Kay tried to open the casket, but was led away by Brock who convinced her Phillip was dead. Kay wailed it should have been she, a sentiment echoed by an embittered Jill. Leslie Elliot was nervous as she rehearsed for the upcoming concert. Her husband, Brad, told her to admit her anxiety and face it. The whole Brooks family, except for Lorie who had an attack – due to a refusal to share the limelight, according to Mark Henderson – attended the concert which was a huge success. Jennifer Brooks finally realized the devastation of her intent to one day leave Stuart and marry Bruce Henderson when Peggy refused a call for her from Bruce and refused to be rational. Jennifer called Leslie, Chris and Lorie together and told them she would remain with Stuart because she could never be happy with Bruce after causing them all such pain. Peggy couldn’t forgive Jennifer, though, saying if Jen stayed, she went. Meanwhile, Regina Henderson, searching for the other woman in Bruce’s life, was convinced it was Jen and went to Stuart, trying to confirme her suspicions. Stuart was adamant it couldn’t be Jen until Regina asked if Jen had changed lately. His silence was her proof and Regina left. Lorie called her agent, Jed Allen, giving him as much of the manuscript as she had done, asking him to find a published. Jed asked if Leslie knew about this book, since it was a reflection on her life and Lorie said she knew – but didn’t mention that Leslie was upset by it. After Phillip’s death, it was a devastated Lorie who persuaded her father Stuart to keep Jill’s name out of the papers.

I updated May 1975 as I received the missing page from the issue: I added the end of AW, most of ATWT which was missing and end of OLTL. It is on page 5. I will try to post June 1975 before the end of the weekend !

Lucky you. It's a bit far from France ahah. I wish I could spend days there to read it ! I read that some archives were scanned to be online. I hope in the future they will scan the Bill Bell archives. It would be a delight !

Are these scripts donated available for the public ?

Phillip dies in June according to the synopses. Thanks for all the details about the Liz Foster / Bruce Henderson connection. It always sounded weird to me. Glad someone confirmed it.

I really don't think Bruce appeared before this storyline. I tend to think that the Liz connection is only fan fiction but I don't know for sure. Sally left during the second half on 1974. The Hendersons appeared in 1975-1976 mainly connected to Mark/Peggy then Lorie, and Jennifer/Stuart/Bruce. We don't know much about Regina yet. Not sure she had a big role.

I assume she is. TV age and real age are always weird. We have so many exemples.

I often saw or read that Bruce Henderson was Liz Foster's brother but it never appears this way on summaries. I always found it weird.

There is a missing page in the May 1975 so I don't have much of ATWT and the last few lines from OLTL. I'm very sorry. I found someone who had the issue so I should be able to update this as soon as possible. MAY 1975 All My Children Written by : Agnes Nixon Produced by : Bud Kloss Those close to Phil Brent continued to wonder why he rejected the Dallas EPA job when the EPA office in Pine Valley folded. Only his mother, Ruth Martin, knew Phil was staying because he couldn’t bear to leave his son, Phillip Tyler. Tara and Chuck Tyler were unaware that Phil knew little Phillip was his. Chuck tought Phil was staying because of beautiful, Claudette Montgomery, but Phil soon disabused him of that idea. Phil took the job at the Chateau offered by his father, Nick Davis, and everyone then assumed Phil was staying to be near his wife Erica who was in a hospital after suffering a breakdown when she miscarried Phil’s child. Mona Kane, Erica’s mother, went to see Erica and found Erica had finally accepted the miscarriage, but was upset that Phil hadn’t visited her. Mona persuaded Phil to visit Erica, whose insecurity about Phil’s love and jealousy of Tara were contributing to her problems. After his visit Erica persuaded Dr. Hansen to release her, as that was the only way to ease her mind. However, Phil’s knowledge of his son had affected his love for Erica, and he admitted to Ruth he only married Erica for the child she was carrying. Erica was hurt and angry when Phil left her right after arriving home to go kite-flying with little Phillip, despite her efforts to seduce him. Mona arrived to find Erica crying in the nursery. She persuaded Erica to be nice to Phillip to get off on good footing. Erica agreed, until Phil insisted on going to work that afternoon, even though Nick had said it was unnecessary. Mona tried to show Erica that Phil was right because it was only his second day. Nick was puzzled when Phil showed up. Mona told Erica that Phil turned down a job in Dallas to stay near her. Erica was puzzled because she and Phil had talked about leaving Pine Valley to get a new start, but a call from Claudette to Phil after he had gone to work caused Erica to think Phil had been having an affair with her. Erica confronted Phil saying she should return to Oakhaven. Phoebe Tyler was upset when she learned that her son Linc and his fiancé Kitty Shea were planning to hold their reception at Mona’s. Phoebe began a campaign to change the plans because she was still convinced her estranged husband Charles and Mona were having an affair. Phoebe lunched with Mona saying Linc agreed to the plan only to be nice, but would prefer a reception at the country club. Phoebe’s plan failed when both Kitty and Linc reassured Mona and Linc warned Phoebe to back off. Phoebe remained determined to break up Linc and Kitty, arranging one night for Claudette to dine with Linc and her at home. When Linc discovered the plan, he left. Ann Tyler, Linc’s sister, assured Kitty of her and her father’s support for the marriage. Phoebe asked Claudette to try to persuade Kitty to move in with her after their marriage. Claudette did so, but Linc was adamant they would not live with Phoebe. Kitty’s ex-husband, Al Shea, calling himself Hal Short, who was mixed up with drugs and went to prison for it in California, was a disct jockey in Pine Valley and begged Kitty not to reveal his identity or past to anyone so he could have a chance at a new life. Torn, Kitty agreed. Hal went to the boutique looking for Kitty and suggested Margo Martin put in a line of men’s accessories saying he could put her in touch with a man in California. The presence of Claudette in Paul and Margo’s apartment was causing increasing strain, especially when Claudette started to make advances towards Paul. Both Paul and Margo thought she was man-crazy and she confirmed Paul’s suspicions when she picked up a man at the movies and finally made an overt pass at Paul, saying she was not asking for marriage, just an afternoon in the hay. He refused and told Margo about the pass, demanding Margo have Claudette move out. To save face and to manipulate Margo, Claudette was packed and Margo asked to speak to her. Claudette marched out and arranged to move in with Kitty, without telling Margo. Claudette went to Phoebe’s after the move and found Phoebe “in her cups.” Phoebe removed sapphire and diamond earrings before going to bed. Claudette took one, denying the following day she ever saw them. Claudette dismantled the earring. When the pawnbroker asked for I.D., Claudette balked, but another man in the sho offered cash with no question so she took the cash. Claudette told Margo Paul made the pass at her, upsetting Margo more when she told her Paul visited Anne in her new apartment after Paul had said he hadn’t been there. Margo confronted Paul, ordering him to never see Anne again. Paul told Margo she didn’t own him and he would see anyone he wanted. The following morning, Margo apologized and admitted feelings of inadequacy regarding Anne. He agreed to a new start, but memories of Ann haunted him. Paul couldn’t get Anne out of his mind since the passionate kiss they recently shared, so he went to see Anne to see if it meant as much to her. She denied it at first, but as he was leaving, she let slip that it meant a lot to her too. In fact, attempting to get Paul out of her mind, Anne had resumed a close relationship with Nick Davis, seducing him after dinner one night. Growing closer to Mona Kane since his separation from Phoebe, Charles Tyler asked Mona about the future of their friendship. Mona asked to take it one day at a time. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Carol Lamonte was quite pleased at the apparent success she was having in her attempts to undermine her boss Robert Delaney’s marriage to Lenore. Carol first successfully undermined Lenore’s self-confidence by sabotaging her work in Robert’s office and then she unnerved Lenore by prying into Lenore’s previous marriage to Walter Curtin. Ironically, even Carol was unaware of the enormous emotional blow this interest in Walter had caused for Lenore. Lenore had discovered just before Walter’s death that he had killed Wayne Addison, whom he mistakenly believed Lenore was interested in, and had allowed Lenore, who was pregnant at the time, to stand trial for this murder. After his death, Lenore vowed their son Walter Jr. would never learn his father was a murderer. Robert realized Lenore’s anxieties were concerned with Walter but her refusal to share it all with him drove them even further apart. Realizing from Carol’s insinuations that Robert and Carol were even more deeply involved, Lenore confronted Robert who admitted he spent one night with Carol following an argument with Lenore but this mistake happened as Carol sensed he didn’t have a complete wife. Lenore replied she could only be what she was. Robert stated they could never have a marriage under these terms and he left alone for New York on a business trip. When Carol told Robert this break up was inevitable, it never was a real marriage and added she loved him, Robert replied he didn’t love her. Rachel Cory admitted to Mac that before her own marriage, she encouraged Carol to hurt Lenore and she was sorry about this. When Mac suggested she warn Lenore, Rachel explained she was afraid of the wrath of Carol’s revenge. After deep thought, Lenore realized that her marriage did matter deeply to her and she decided to fight for Robert, however he had not left word on where he was in New York and Lenore painfully realized only Carol had his phone number and Carol refused to give it to anyone. Realizing the mention of Walter upset Lenore, Carol picked up a man in a bar and enticed him to play “a joke on a friend.” Following her instructions, he called Lenore, calling her Mrs. Curtin, saying he was an old friend of Walter’s and announced that he had some things to say to Wally about his father. Horrified, Lenore was sure that her fears had come to pass, that somehow someone had discovered the truth and Wally stood to be destroyed. Lenore turned to Vic Hastings for help. She explained she couldn’t place her trust in a man that she loved and that she had to leave and take Wally away for his own sake. She explained Australia with Robert was not a solution because the people who threatened Wally would know where she was. Vic secretly arranged an apartment and a job for Lenore in Washington and Lenore left secretly telling no one she was going. She left behind a note for Robert saying she had to go, it was for the best he not try to find her. Carol meanwhile was taking great delight in refusing to give Robert’s whereabouts even to John Randolph, his attorney, and Willis Frame for business reasons. Robert reurned to find an empty house and Lenore’s note. Learning from Lenore’s mother what Carol had done he confronted her angrily. She explained he needed uninterrupted time to think and if he had wanted to, he could have called Lenore himself. Robert told Carol he loved Lenore and she, Carol, loved only herself. He fired her and ordered her out immediately. He then asked Barbara Weaver to begin a quiet search for Lenore. Carol then visited Angie Perrini at Willis’ office announcing she and Robert decided she should open her own firm and Robert suggested Frame Enterprises would give her part of the work they gave Robert’s office. Since his brother Steven Frame made him a junior partner in Frame Enterprises before leaving for Australia, Willis Frame had been involved in a power struggle with Vic Hastings for control of Frame Enterprises’ operations. Unable to defeat Vic, Willis managed to sidetrack Trevor Harvey, the liaison for the Australia project, visiting Bay City, and tried to undermine Vic by implying Vic put his personal life ahead of business and that he was a problem to the company. Willis was upset when Alice, Steve’s wife, told Trevor in front of Willis, that Vic was definitely in charge in Steve’s absence. When Vic left mysteriousluy for Washington to set up arrangements for Lenore, Willis used this in another attempt to back-stab Vic, implying Vic apparentlu didn’t care about their conferences. Alice had delayed joining Steve in Australia because of her concern and growing love for little Sally Spencer recently orphaned in an auto accident. Neither the police nor attorney Barbara Weaver had been able to find any trace of Sally’s parents’ past as all leads wound up in a dead end. Alice was thrilled to learn Steven was coming home for a visit and he told her via telephone that he was enthusiastic about adopting little Sally and taking her back to Australia. However, the day before Steven’s planned return, Trevor got a call from Sidney. Steve’s helicopter from the site crashed. Shortly after, Steve was confirmed dead. Willis was in great pain over the loss of his brother but managed to hold together for Alice who was devastated. Fortunately Alice had Sally with her and Sally, having recently suffered a great loss, instinctively gave Alice the love and comfort she needed. Willis and Alice agreed Steven should be burring at his family home in Oaklahoma and they went there agreeing to have a memorial service in Bay City. Willis was further hurt at learning the Australia Project had been given to another construction company. He bitingly told Vic if he had been there, together they might have been able to save the project. Rachel, formerly Steven’s wife and mother of his son Jamie, was badly shaken by the news. She felt great pain and compassion for Alice, but realized Alice would not believe it. Jamie was hurt and angry at the news. Gil tried to make him see life went on and he had to take Steve’s place. Beatrice Gordon, the Cory’s new housekeeper, had told Ada and Gil McGowan – Rachel’s mother and step-father – she had two sons in Scranton and in Tulsa, but her daughter Jennifer ran away 10 years ago just after starting college and she hadn’t heard from her since. Bea’s husband died soon afterwards and seeing Ada’s little daughter, Nancy, brought tears to Bea’s eyes.

They were shocked to find Marianne’s schoolwork had deteriorated so badly she would need summer school in order to graduate. However, Marianne announced she was planning to skip college and get an apartment with Ellen Rogers, her best friend. When John told Marianne she was going to college and Pat insisted it was necessary for her future, Marianne stomped off to the Rogers’ where Ellen’s parents encouraged the girls to do whatever they wanted.

Phillip who had dissipated his family fortune worked at compromising young women and Iris intended to use him to convince her father that Rachel married him only for his money. However Clarice Hobson, a steak house hostess, who had been living with Phillip finally pressed him to admit his tie with Iris and learning what he was intending to do, she moved out.

Phillip tried to tell Iris that wasn’t going to work, that Rachel really loved Mac, but Iris, desperate in her efforts do destroy Rachel, insisted he succeed or she would blackball him forever in New York. Having learned from Phillip that Rachel hit him in the face with a riding crop when he made a crude pass at her, Iris made a snide remark to Rachel and Mac about Phillip being hit by a woman with a crop because her husband walked in when they were kissing. This variation of the theme unnerved Rachel badly and when Mac left to attend Russ and Iris’ engagement party, she decided to cancel her riding lessons with Phillip. Learning he had no phone, she drove there to tell him Iris had made it clear that no man could trust his wife with Phillip and therefore she would no longer take lessons. Phillip was upset that Rachel came to his house alone and insisted she get out immediately, warning her to stay away from him for property’s sake. Ironically, Ada and Gil discouvered Rachel was at Phillip’s and rused there to explain to her that this could easily be misconstrued as a compromising situation. Rachel immediately told Mac upon his return about her visit to Phillip’s and was horrified at his extreme jealousy and his conviction she went to see Phillip alone for personal reasons. When Mac implied she seemed to have reverted to the girl she was before he met her, Rachel angrily replied he has obviously been listening to the Matthewses tear her down as he did not even know her before. Seeing how badly his doubts had hurt her, Mac told her he was wrong to accuse her and asked her forgiveness. Seeing Iris was planting seeds with Mac that Phillip had a secret married lover, Louise tried to warn Ada and Gil about Rachel being even accidentally alone with Phillip, however this just raised Gil’s suspcisious of Louise. Ada did mention this to Rachel abut Rachel dismissed it as gossip. Gil later asked Louise what her remarks meant but she was guarded saying only Phillip was dangerous. Learning Barbara was taking riding lessons with Phillip, Mac agreed Rachel could resume lessons as long as Barbara was with her.

For Julie’s sake, Bob had invited David Banning, Julie’s teenaged son, to come home when his school term was over. Learning David had accepted Bob’s offer, Julie was determined to make the best of the situation and to create a real family atmosphere. She therefore tried to mend fences with Phyllis Anderson, Bob’s ex-wife and was shocked when Phyllis angrily insisted Bob wold always belong to her in his heart and only went back to Julie out of a sense of obligation. Julie was extremely hurt when Phyllis’ daughter, Mary, viciously told Julie she knew the baby was not Bob’s and half the town was wondering who the real father was. Bob was shocked to learn of Mary’s vicious attack on Julie, but Julie said she felt Mary was afraid this baby would dilute her father’s love. When Julie added that Phyllis was obviously deeply hurt by the reconciliation, Bob confronted Phyllis asking if she had indeed thought he would return to her after the divorce from Julie. She insisted that both Julie and Mary were wrong on this, she only thought of him as a friend. Bon placed half of his Anderson Manufacturing stock in trust for the new baby. Don Craig cautioned Mary to stop slandering Julie and to give her father and his wife a chance to make their marriage work. Mary then apologized to Julie and retracted her cruel statements but later told her mother she would never accept this baby as her father’s child. Julie was apprehensive about David’s coming home again after an absence of so many years. She wondered if he would like her or resent her, if they would have any kind of relationship. Dr. Neil Curtis, meanwhile, had kept a shoulder available for Phyllis to cry on. When she castigated herself for misinterpreting Bob’s recent attention, Neil reassured her calling her a fascinating woman and bolstering her ego with lessons on the game of life. Neil, who was in seriopus financial trouble due to a floundering stock market position, realized that Phyllis’ divorce settlement would solve his financial problems. Doug had struck up a relationship with a young woman named Brooke who drank only ginger ale and was spending considerable time at Doug’s Place. She cryptically stated she was doing research and seemed very interested in the Horton family and their friends. However, upon meeting Michael Horton, Brooke couldn’t hide her secret. She told him she was David’s girlfriend and that he was meeting her there, but added it was a secret; David would introduce her to everyone. Brooke wired David saying, “Salem looked interesting. Did you know your mother is pregnant?” Later, Brooke happened to observe Julie and Doug talking and seemed to sense there were more between them than a stepfather/stepdaughter relationship. Badly shaken by her recent disappointment, Phyllis broke down to Mary just before the opening of her new boutique. She confessed from the first mention of divorce she had been putting on an act, she would never get over Bob. Suddenly, they were shocked to realize that Bob had walked in and overheard the whole conversation. Phyllis tried to assured him it was not as bad as it had sounded. Bob tried to bolster Phyllis’ confidence. Even with tranquilizers given to her by Neil, Phyllis couldn’t face the opening party, so Neil used another tactic. He told her the Hortons would pity her, if she couldn’t cut it. Furious at this, Phyllis made it through the opening beautifully. Julie, shocked to receive a call from David in Salem a week early, tried to reach Bob but was told he was at Phyllis’ boutique opening. She wondered if he was determined not to let Phyllis live without him or couldn’t he live without her? Arriving at Julie’s lake home, David announced he already knew about her baby and her separation, assumed he was an embarrassment to her because of his age and made it clear it would take time before they could be friends. Julie, who expected more than friendship from her son, was taken aback. David then announced that he had a girl named Brooke whom he planned to marry and he practically ordered Julie to get along well with her. When Julie asked what Brooke was like, David thought and replied, “Now that I see you again, I see she is a lot like you.” David brought Brooke for dinner and Brooke right off asked Julie to give her a chance to make her like her. Julie smiled and asked, “Why shouldn’t I like you?” But Brooke decided Julie hated her and ept insisting this to David, that his beautiful young mother was competing with her. David suggested Brooke was being catty and assured her Julie would okay the wedding even though he was underage. Brooke insisted that to play it safe, they put on a virginal act even though their relationship was intimate. Brooke carefully and calculatedly charmed Julie’s grandparents, Tom and Alice Horton, as well as Bob and Doug. She told Doug that Julie seemed not to like her and beeged him to put in a good word for her. Indeed Julie was instinctively aware that Booke was putting on a performance but couldn’t figure out what she was up to. But she confided to Doug she couldn’t stand David’s girlfriend. When Julie found David’s watch on Brooke’s bedside table – David’s persuasion overcame Brooke’s resolve -, instead of the angry moral speech David was braced for, she coolly informed him that Bob was a conservative man, so in her home, he, David and Brooke were to be discreet. She added it was in David’s best interest if he was considering a career in Bob’s company. Julie was shocked when David informed her that Addie, her late mother, set up a half million dollar trust fund for him before her death and he was planning not to work at all. Julie feared David might have playboy tendencies like his late father, David Martin, tendencies encouraged by Brooke. Brooke evaded Julie’s questions about her background as she was reluctant to admit her good New England family was also broke! Jim Phillips told David while he couldn’t touche the principal until he was thirty, he might be able to get the interest, but Julie’s consent was necessary. David also told Jim he was curious about the facts of his natural father’s death – Susan Peters, who was married to David Martin at the time, killed him while mentally incompetent after the death of their son Dickie. David died never knowing his real love, Julie, was carrying his child.- Don Craig dropped by the Andersons’ to find Brooke amusing herself in Julie’s room, in Julie’s clothes. Amused, he promised not to give her away. David was annoyed at Brooke’s foolhardiness in being in Julie’s room, but not annoyed enough to refrain from making love to her there. Learning Julie had natural enemies – Phyllis and Mary – Brooke sought them out and did her best to ingratiate herself. Trish Clayton found a letter from her mother Jeri saying she was leaving town because she could no longer stand the contempt in Trish’s eyes since Trish learned Jeri turned to prostitution for a few months after Trish’s birth to support her.

He had experience frequent periods of spontaneous recollection and remembered both his affair with Linda Patterson and his heart attack. In fact, certain familiarities with his past made Laura, his ex-wife, Bill Horton, his brother and Laura’s husband, and his father, Dr. Tom Horton, uneasy as they felt he was remembering. But Mickey assured them he was not and told himself he had to not admit it for Maggie’s sake as she was very insecure about his past. Seeing Linda talking to Marty, Maggie intuitively knew Linda loved him. Pressed, Bill told her the whole story of the affair and Maggie was further depressed feeling Linda was one more threat to her marriage. When Maggie’s big day arrived for the first time on crutches since the surgery, she was suddenly so insecure and terrified at falling she couldn’t make herself try to stand. Learning of Maggie’s setback, Linda went to Maggie’s room, telling her she was involved with Mickey but the caring was all on her side. She explained she had come to Salem to reconcile with her husband Jim for her child Melissa’s sake and added she was no threat to Maggie, that Marty adored his wife. Bolstered by Linda’s words, Maggie, alone in her room, attempted the crutches again and succeeded. Linda later told Marty and then Maggie that despite what the Hortons might have said about Laura and Mickey’s marriage, he was not entirely happy with Laura and never loved her the way he loved Maggie. Linda made every effort to become Maggie’s friend and, in bolstering Maggie’s confidence in her marriage, made sure she encouraged Maggie to reevaluate the need for Laura’s psychiatric help. As a result, Maggie told Laura her therapy was inhibited by her awe of Laura. Laura agreed that was not what an analyst wanted but realized Laura had been undermining Maggie’s therapy. When Marty inevitably asked Linda how she could be sure Melissa was Jim’s child, since they were having an affair at the time, she lied, saying Laura told her during her own therapy that Mickey became sterile after Michael’s birth. However, when Jim later warned Linda that Mickey had to never know he had always been sterile for Laura’s sake, Linda accused him of having a thing about Laura and added she despised Laura and always had. Jim, who had temporized about a reconciliation with Linda, realized he could never forget that Linda loved Mickey. Linda later continued her campaign by pointing out that Laura would get praise for helping Mickey recall the past, but that she, Maggie, fit in only as Marty’s wife, not Mickey’s in the Hortons’ professional/social world. With Linda’s support, Maggie managed another milestone – walking on parallel bars into Marty’s outstretched arms. Laura, who was pregnant, received word her mother, institutionalized in a catatonic state since Laura’s childhood, had taken a turn for the worse. Laura and Bill flew to Chicago where they found her mother still unreachable. Just had Laura giving up all hope, Mrs. Spencer had a glimmer of charity and called her “Laura,” and later when Bill told the catatonic woman of his love for Laura, she reached for his hand.

Laura warned Greg his marriage was in trouble but Greg replied he didn’t seem to have a wife anymore. Greg and Susan continued to snipe at each other. He made insinuations about her closeness with Eric, about baby Ann – Anne was actually Eric’s child, not Greg’s – and she continued to press the point of his letting history repeat itself with Amanda.

When Susan stormed out to Phyllis’ boutique opening, Greg went straight to Amanda who pressed hm to make it up to Susan pointing out the only thing Susan had ever wanted was his love.

Jessie Brewer, returning to work on the 7th floor completely recovered from her serious illness was pleased for her close friend Dr. Steve Hardy’s decision to marry T.V. newscaster Kira Faulkner. Suddenly Steve and Kira’s future happiness was clouded by a malpractice suit involving Joel Stratton when the widow of Salvatore Pizzara claimed her husband was turned away from hospital treatment by Joel because the unemployed Pizzara couldn’t pay his hospital bills. Joel claimed Pizzara’s EKG tests showed no indication of heart trouble so he was not admitted, only requested to rest and return for further testing. Unfortunately when Pizzara wes later rushed back near death from a heart seizure and subsequently died, Mrs. Pizzara acting on the advice of Margaret Colson who had been rebuffed by her former lover, Joel, contacted Kira to start an investigation into General Hospital’s admitting procedures and possible incompetency of certain doctors. Kira incurred the wrath of Steve because he claimed she was reporting unsubstantiated rumors which had mushroomed, provoking other former patients to submit complaints in the hope of cashing in on the possible lawsuit. Kira defended her right as an investigative reporter to expose the truth whatever the consequences but feared their conflict of ideals had affected their romantic relationship. Mr. Thurston, administrative head, directed his assistant Margaret to keep all patient files under lock despite the fact that Steve wished to review the files to prove his and other doctors’ innocence. Privately making the agonizing decision to end his romance with Lesley Williams because of his recent discovery of heart trouble, Joe abruptly severed their close relationship. Distraught, Lesley pleaded with Joel to defy convention and to take her as a lover, no strings attached. Joel refused because he believed Lesley would regret her decision and that she should have a future including a family. Cameron Faulkner, hurt by his ex-wife decision to remarry, turned to the vulnerable Lesley whom he admired. Cam’s financial support of Lesley’s free clinic and his long standing animosity towards the rival for Lesley’s affections, Joel, caused Cam to tempt Joel with offers of another job out of town if he resigned, to supposedly spare the clinic of bad publicity regarding the Pizzara case. Cam tried to convince Lesley that Joel’s cooling off of their relationship coincided with Joel’s renewed interest in his former lover Margaret Colson. The Guiding Light Written by: Robert Cenedella Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg Dr. Joe Werner had just operated on Dr. Ed Bauer who was shot by his brother-in-law Ken Norris. Joe found the bullet had grazed but not cut Ed’s spinal cord, however the nerves were badly contused and Joe realized there could be paralysis. Surviving the surgery, Ed was moved to intensive care. In the midst of his deep concern over his brother Ed, attorney Mike Bauer, insisted that Barbara and Adam Thorpe call his friend Harry Davis to represent Ken. Ken was in the prison psychiatric ward at the City Hospital. He had been in a catatonic state since the shooting and Dr. Everhardt explained Ken suffered from paranoid schizophrenia advanced to acting out his dilusions – that his wife Janet was having an affair with Ed – and finally resulting in a catatonic withdrawal. Everhardt cautioned Barbara not to assume Ken’s guilt on herself – no one thing could have caused this. Ken would be charged with shooting Ed, but could avoid conviction if he was found able to be helped medically and if the victim, Ed, requested the charges be dropped. Holly, Ed’s wife, visited her brother in the psychiatric ward and was crushed at his total lack of response. When Janet later visited the surgical floor, feeling guilty and responsible, to bring her support to the Bauer family, Holly lashed out at Janet saying her concern was too late, “My brother is in a prison ward because of what you’ve done to him and if my husband has to pay for it with his life – it’s all your fault Janet! You’ve cost me my brother and maybe my husband too.” Janet recoiled as if slapped and ran out. Before Holly’s marriage to Ed and Ken’s marriage to Janet, Janet and Ed were in love. Joe found Ed’s fever was unexplainably rising despite the lab indicated antibiotic medication he had been given. Joe ordered more sensitivity tests. As Ed remained near death, Holly recalled his telling her how much it meant to him that they had a going marriage. Holly pleded silently to unconscious Ed, “Don’t die. Maybe I can make up for some of the lies I have told you.” Holly had a nightmare that the child she was carrying, Roger Thorpe’s child, would be born too early and would look like Roger, thus making it apparent to Ed the child was not his. Dr. Sara McIntyre and Barbara reminded Janet that Ken refused professional help, his illness took a whole lifetime to become this serious and she had not to blame herself. As Ed’s temperature reached 105°, Joe gravely informed the Bauers they might call their minister. As the family prayed Ed’s temperature finally went down a degree and the fever started to break. Joe was still sure the pathological report was wrong, that Ed survived only due to his extraordinary will to live. As Ed finally regained consciousness, he had no feeling in his left arm. Dr. Steve Jackson was called in on an neurological examination and found Ed had limited feeling in two fingers. Ed told Holly his desire to see his child kept him alive. The crisis past, Ed began a rapid recovery but was desperately upset over the mobility of his hand so necessary for his neurosurgical career. Sure there was a neuroma requiring resection of the nerve root he pressed Steve to perform corrective surgery. Steve stressed the inherent risks in this procedure and insisted they waiting for confirming diagnostic tests but promised if it was indicated, he would do the surgery. Janet decided to go to her mother’s in San Diego to gain some perspective. Sara feared young T.J. had left Springfield for good. The boy had recently run away from his newly assigned foster family the Coopers. However, T.J. was brought into emergency with a broken arm he received defending the puzzle Sara gave him. T.J. was again hostile towards his social worker insisting the Coopers weren’t his folks and he wanted to live alone when the hospital kicked him out again as they did the time before. Roger apologized to Peggy for confronting her about dating Dr. Tim Ryan at the wrong moment, but he explained he meant the criticism because the situation hurt him. Peggy was confused wondering why she couldn’t stop thinking about Roger’s telling her their relationship obviously meant more to him than to her. Peggy, who was deeply hurt by Roger’s inadvertently endangering her life and her son Billy’s when he got involved with loan sharks, asked herself if she could ever believe Roger again, but realized she wanted to. Seeing his mother looking at the picture of Roger and herself Billy gave her for Christmas, Billy went to Roger’s apartment insisting Peggy did want to see him even if she wouldn’t admit it. Billy explained that Tim had offered to go to his school play tonight with Peggy, but Billy begged Roger to come too. Roger said he couldn’t, he had to work, but Billy saw that Roger still kept the picture of him and his mother at his bedside table. The evening the the play, Billy and Tim reached rapport with Tim’s commiseration over Billy’s stage fright. Billy was grateful he was there but admitted to Peggy he wished Roger had been. Peggy told Billy truthfully that Roger was there – she saw him slip in and later quietly leave. Roger was offered a financially profitable opportunity in Acapulco, but told his father he didn’t want to be that far from Peggy. Pam Chandler had brought her baby Samantha home to Bert Bauer’s house. Tim had decied to switch his speciality from OB/GYN to neurosurgery. Love Of Life Written by: Margaret DePriest Produced by: Jean Arley David Hart had overheard his fiancé, Cal Aleata, talking with Rick Latimer and told Cal that his father “warned me about you, but I killed him for you and now I hate you.” He told his step-mother, Cal’s mother, that Rick was a devil and he was going to the river house to get Rick out of his mind. When Cal went to Meg, her mother, for help with David, Meg said she was at fault for neglecting David and running to Rick all the time. Jamie Rollins, David’s lawyer, got him to agree to continue therapy on an out-patient basis if Dr. Bryson would see him away from the hospital because he was afraid they would try to keep him there. Van felt rejected when Cal would no longer confide in her because everyone thought she should commit David. Van decided to contact the one person Cal still had a lot of respect for – Eddie Aleata, her step-father, by sending cables to all his home. Cal was delighted when she found Van had thought to cable Eddie and he had dropped everything to come to her. The Crawfords were very concerned about Ben Harper, their future son-in-law and his values since on the wedding day he would receive $500.000, but they decided that they couldn’t tell Betsy about their fears. Plans for the wedding progressed and Ben became increasingly nervous about being guilty of bigamy, but this was the only way to get his ½ million. Meg, Ben’s mother, was concerned about his relationship with lounge singer, Arlene, Ben’s wife – only Rick knew this -, and asked Rick to fire her, but Rick said the club was his domain. He told Ben he had to go through the wedding and stay away from Arlene. Arlene got an invitation to the wedding even though Ben had forbidden her to come. At Ben’s bachelor party, Jim Crawford became so distressed at Ben’s attitude over money that he told Ben if he found Ben had drawn Betsy into a society of loose morals, he would tear him limb from limb. Ben celebrated the rest of the night with Arlene and a bottle of champagne in her bed. The following morning, Meg showed hm the cashier’s check, but refused to give it to him yet. Everyone was wondering where Cal was, but she arrived after driving to the river house to ask David to come to the wedding. He became upset when he found Rick was going to be the Best Man in his place while Cal was Maid of Honor. As the ceremony started, David arrived in time to see fidgeting and Rick smiling at Cal. Everyone made it through the wedding but the wedding reception had a few hitches. The Crawfords were concerned about Ben’s responsibility; Meg was fuming because she felt Eddie Aleata was trying to embarrass her; Rick was concerned about Arlene drinking too much champagne and Vivian Carlson was trying to listen to all the gossip. Rick saw Arlene drag Ben off to the coat room and decided to show Meg that Ben wasn’t responsible enough to handle $500.000 and that six months of marriage to Betsy without the money would mature Ben and discourage Arlene. Ben approached Meg about the check after Arlene told him he had exactly five minutes to get the money before she went to Meg herself. Meg said things were too hectic and they would discuss it after Ben and Betsy got back from the honeymoon she had planned for them. At their hotel in New York, they would find tickets to “somewhere in the sun” as a gift from her. After the reception, Arlene confronted Rick accusing him of being responsible for Meg’s change in plans. He claimed to have known nothing of this new plan, but said Meg wouldn’t go back on a promise and Ben would have to come home for her and the money. David found Arlene drinking in Rick’s office and listened to Arlene talk about Rick managing everyone. Arlene called Ben’s hotel room, but when Betsy answered she said nothing, then passed out. David slipped back into the Club Victoria while Meg was moaning about Eddie being in town and after they left, David set fire to the lounge while Arlene slept in the office.

Felicia agreed to think about marriage, and after she caught the bridal bouquet at Betsy’s wedding, she agreed to a summer wedding but not to a definite date. Diana Lamont was the subject of much gossip because of her relationship and living arrangement with Jamie, who was not divorced yet. After her appointment as Director of Family Services, she found Vivian and Henry Carlson, owner of the local paper, had asked for her dismissal. Although Di would resign in Bruce, the Mayor of Rosehill, thought it best, he continued to support her. Until she told Van and Bruce that she was expecting, Bruce felt she was a very good chance, but there would be more pressure. Bruce accidentally let it slip to Charles, Di’s ex-husband, who thought she should get an abortion. When Charles toasted the future at Betsy’s wedding, Jamie toasted to Di’s baby. Vivian Carlson overheard and made sure that Diana and Jamie knew that she knew before she starts telling the whole reception party. Diana again suggested to Bruce that she resign, but Bruce and Jamie both made her see that to resign would be unfair to those participating in the Family Service program. One Life To Live Written by: Gordon Russell Produced by: Doris Quinlan Intecepting fugitive Mark Toland before he had the opportunity to confront powerful financier Victor Lord at his palatial estate Llanfair, Dr. Dorian Cramer led him to the nearby cottage, where he informed her of the desperate life he had led as a wanted criminal since his disappearance after the accidental murder of Rachel Wilson. He told her that while hiding in a rundown San Francisco hotel, he was amzed to see Victor Lord sneak into the hotel room of an elderly woman, Dorothy Randolph and how, unobserved, Mark eavesdropped on their private conversation. Apparently, many years ago, Dorothy and Victor had been loves, but when she discovered she was pregnant, they quarreled, Victor rejected her, and she disappeared. Somehow Victor had traced Dorothy to the old hotel years later, but still embittered by his treatment, Dorothy wouldn’t give Victor any information regarding her or the child, and sent him away. Mark who opportunistically befriended the old lady, one day found she had died peacefully in her rocking chair and stole all the family photos and other credentials proving Victor had a long lost adult son with the hope he could somehow make it pay off for him. When Lt. Ed Hall turned up in San Francisco, Mark was forced to flee to Central America where he had to lie low for many months. Finally with a forged passport obtained by the stake he won gambling, he returned to Llanview to extort $50.000 from Victor for the information regarding his son so that he could purchase a medical practice in Central America and begin a new life. Dorian warned of Victor’s severe heart problems and bought some time so she could tell Matt McAllister about the stunning turns of events. Matt immediately fearing what a long lost son might mean to his and Dorian’s revengeful schemes to control Victor Lord’s financial empire, went to Mark and successfully convinced him to trade his documents for blackmail against Viki Lord Riley concerning Joe’s serious hereditary heart problem which Matt learned from Dorian. Matt promised that Viki would pay anything to prevent Joe from ever learning about his inability to father a healthy child without the fatal heart condition that would eventually claim baby Megan’s life despite what everyone believed to be a successful operation on the child. Mark delivered the ultimatum to Viki - $50.000 in 72 hours of Jack would be told! He left a book of matches from the Llanview Motel where he was registered as Mark Rutherford and departed warning no one had to know that he was in town. Viki, terrified and puzzled as to how Mark could have got this confidential hospital record, suspected Dorian despite Mark’s vehement denial Dorian had nothing to do with him and that she didn’t even know about his return. Unable to raise the entire amount demanded, Viki went to Dr. Larry Wolek and poured out her dilemma. Larry suggested telling Joe the truth to end the blackmail attempt, but Viki feared for Joe’s emotional health and jer marriage because she felt he would demande a divorce to free her to have normal children. Larry insisted on going to Mark and trying to reason with him, and Viki, fearful of trouble, decided to go also. Susan Barry who felt she had been cut out of Larry’s life had begun drinking heavily and was disturbed to find she couldn’t always remember what had happened. Susan, resentful of Larry’s preoccupation with Viki, followed him to the motel where she, unknown to anyone, observed Larry enter room number 124 and eventually leave with Viki. Later when she asked about seeing his distinctive car in that area, she was further upset when Larry lied about never being out that way. Viki desesperately tried to raise the money. As the deadline drew closer, Joe noticed a change in Viki’s personality and repeatedly asked her what was wrong. When Julie Toland and Wanda Wolek were downtown arranging a trip at a travel agency for the high strung Julie, who had never forgotten her intense love for Mark despite everything, they observed Mark getting into a cab after leaving the travel agency. Julie, learning that the man was registered at the motel, insisted she must go there to see if it was Mark, positive that she might be able to help him. Julie demanded secrecy from Wanda and told her she would call Wanda when she had returned from Mark’s. Hours passed by and when Eileen Siegel, Julie’s mother, who had just ended her affair with Ben Farmer, arrived, Wanda tried to persuade her not to interfere in Julie’s life again. Eileen, unable to wait longer for Julie’s call, left Wanda’s apartment. Tim Siegel arrived home to find Julie on the verge of suicide. He forced the truth from the hysterical girl who told him of being completely rejected from Mark whom she loved deeply. Tim, enraged, left to confront Mark. Mark, frightened that others might also know his whereabouts since Julie recognized him in town, decided he was foolish allowing Matt to talk him out of his original plan of blackmail. Taking hs own key, he went to Dorian’s and retrieved the Randolph documents. Leaving the cottage, he was observed by a puzzled Victor Lord. Julie barely recovered from her suicide attempt impetuously decided to return to Mark’s. Fighting to keep Viki from having to borrow money from an underworld loan shar, Larry told her he would go again and plead for Mark’s leniency. Susan was distressed to learn from young Jenny Wolek that Larry had gone out again with Viki. Viki, realizing there might be serious trouble between the armed Mark and Larry, decided to go to Mark’s. Matt and Dorian, discovering the valuable Randlolph documents missing and realizing that their plan had fallen through, departed separately for Mark’s. Meanwhile, Mark had contacted Victor and demanded mysteriously that he come bringing his checkbook. Wanda, frightened for Eileen and Julie, confessed to Vinnie about Mark and he left speaking of avenging his brother Larry’s treatment as a murder suspect in Rachel’s death. Wanda, her fears heightened by a suden electrical storm, called Lt. Ed Hall to go after Vinnie. While the storm raged, the motel desk clerk was so deeply engrossed in a violence-filled detective program that he resented being interrupted first by Tim, then by Victor, both wanting Mark’s room number. Terrified of what might have happened to the missing Julie, Eileen was stunned when Julie arrived home and hysterically told oh finding Mark’s body near his motel parking lot where he had been fatally shot. Julie, almost incoherent, claimed she took the gun and threw it away because she feared her brother was responsible for the murder. Eileen, totally panicked over the frightening implications, invented a story that both Tim and Julie were at home al evening with her and Julie further claimed she changed her mind about going to the motel at all. Ed, puzzled about why Toland would risk returning to Llanview, was even more inquisitive about the possible people who knew about Toland’s return – certainly Julie was admittedly one, along with Wanda and Vinnie. Vinnie, who admitted to Ed about going to Mark’s, claimed he never saw him. However, when Vinnie exposed the fact that he saw Larry driving away, Larry was forced to lie about his reasons for being at Toland’s. In order to protect Viki’s secret and Viki, who privately admitted to Larry she went to Mark’s but never went out of the car, Larry invented a story of trying to get to Mark, who called him, to give himself up to the police. Ed’s thorough search of Mark’s room turned up three interesting clues, a very expensive, fancy umbrella, an expensive jade medaillon, and an address book. Further checks showed Mark, who had stayed in the motel for 6 days, made phone calls to Victor Lord and Joe Riley’s house. When Ed questioned Dorian while Victor was present, Victor defensively protected Dorian and provided an alibi by claiming they spent the entire evening together. Dorian, puzzled by Victor’s willingness to lie, was interested in Victor’s answer that it was for their “mutual benefit.” Matt and Dorian quarrelled about destroying the Randolph documents, which Matt claimed he easily retrieved from Toland’s room while Mark was missing that night. Matt warned that a son suddenly returning from the past would ruin her plans of gaining control of Victor’s wealth. Tom and novitiate Jenny, who was grieving for her former patient, Mrs. Schmidt’s neglected death, were arrested for disturbing the peace at a city council meeting organized to discuss nursing home practices.

When Wade visited Clay to tell him their father’s will was to be read and he had a lawyer, Clay asked him about “Karen and hier mental problem.” Clay decided he would have a lawyer too, and called Scott Phillips since his father, Doug Martin, was the best lawyer in town. Scott figured some of his problems were solved having a client like Clay Collins. When the will was read, Clay couldn’t believe that Wade, a psychiatrist, had been given 51% of the stock in the Collins Corporation and he, Clay, would manage it, but only had 49%. Wade couldn’t understand this and wanted to give Clay part of his stock until he read a letter from his father saying he was afraid that Clay’s only interest in the company was financial and he would sell stock and merge if given the power so Wade would hold this power. Wade decided to do as his father asked, much to Clay’s ire. Clay told Scott he had to break this will and then he would give him all the business. Scott tried his best, but he couldn’t find a way and was fired when he wouldn’t agree to find an illegal way. John Wyatt, Wade’s lawyer, did some investigating and found that Clay was going to merge with a company soon to be indicted and close the the Ohio plant putting many people out of work; two decisions old Mr. Collins was against. John suggested Wade vote against Clay, but Wade was uncertain that he wanted to further jeopardize his relationship with Clay.

Brock is at the Chancellors’ when Phillip told Kay he was moving out. When he refused her pleas of a little more time she headed straight for a bottle of scotch shouting at Brock to leave her alone, but he insisted she really didn’t want to drink herself to death. Brock’s singing of a religious hymn reminded Kay of her new-found faith and she cried as she smashed the bottle.

I agree. Peggy is probably the Brooks sister Bill Bell made less of. I loved seeing Lorie involved with the Chancellor. She will be more on May but I have only started working on them as I go back to work on Tuesday, it might be a bit longer but I will do my best to keep it posted for as long as you are interested.
