I wonder how much Labine and Avila Mayer had planned for LOL before going out to create RH. The infamous bigamy plot seemed to be their idea so maybe they had planned some longterm stories (same with Felicia's mystery).

She responded passionately. Both were stunned and Paul left wordlessly. Neither seemed able to forget the kiss. When Anne’s mother, Phoebe, refused to heed Anne’s warning not to interfere in her life, Anne moved back to her apartment with Nick’s help. He noticed she was somehow different since Paul’s visit. Stacy Coles thanked Anne for helping her see what she was doing to Jamie. Wyatt Coles visited Joe to find out more about COPE’s group therapy, not understanding what was involved or Stacy’s interest. Gently, Joe told Wyatt that Jamie wasn’t accident prone, but had been abused by Stacy. Wyatt admitted he suspected that but refused to acknowledge it because he had have to deal with it. Wyatt told Stacy about his discussion with Joe. Stacy steeled herself for his anger and hatred, but was surprised when he said it was their problem and he accepted some of the responsibility because he was unnecessarily neglected her and Jamie for his work. He said they had a chance to build a new life together. When Wyatt said things would be better, she honestly replied they already were. Stacy thanked Kitty for her help. Hal Short went to see Joe about his flu symptoms and found he had infectious mononucleosis and was hospitalized. Talking with Jeff Martin, Hal asked if he knew Kitty Shea, and looked forward to seeing her when released because he was an old friend of hers. He asked Frank to get him a phone book so he could call Kitty, aware Kitty would be very surprised to see him. Phoebe, determined to break her son Linc’s romance with Kitty, gained Kitty’s sympathy because of her separation from Charles and tried to intimate Kitty into ending the relationship because her background was so different from Linc’s. Linc got the story from Kitty, finally, and tried to reassure her by saying all he wanted was to marry Kitty and raise a family. Kitty told him she couldn’t marry him because pregnancy could be fatal to her. Linc finally won her over by saing, “Be my life, my family, my love,” and they could adopt children. Linc told Phoebe to stop her interference, but Phoebe was determined and snooped into Kitty’s medical files during an appointment with Dr. Clader, later telling everyone she learned of Kitty’s condition from Kate Martin. Phoebe begged Linc not to let the family name die, or worse, go to a child of questionable background. Linc said it didn’t matter. Charles confrontes Kate about discussing Kitty’s medical background, and when Kate denied it, Charles checked with Clader, who confirmed Phoebe was alone in his office for 10 minutes. Charles told Phoebe it was such tactics that had led to her having to hire companionship. Linc and Kitty planned a June wedding. Mary Martin admitted to Jeff she tried to get pregnant before given the go-ahead and she was 2 months pregnant, confirmed by Dr. Clader. Devious Claudette Montgomery used her knowledge of Paul’s visit to Anne and Margo’s secret facelift to keep Paul and Margo from pressuring her into findind a job. Ingratiating herself with Phoebe, Claudette accepted a job as Phoebe’s companion. Supposed to accompany Margo to New York on a buying trip, Claudette feigned illness, pressured Paul into taking her to lunch, then prepared a romantic dinner for them, subtly offering herself as dessert. Paul refused. Margo returned early and she and Claudette argued about the job with Phoebe, so Claudette toke a walk, ending at Phil Brent’s house. At Phoebe’s, Claudette met Anne and flaunted the fact that she lived with Paul – Anne’s ex-husband -, hinting they were very friendly. Upset, Anne had lunch with Nick to mend her fences with him. He was delighted. Margo pleaded with Paul to give her more time and affection and arranged for Claudette to move in with Kitty Shea. Phil Brent, aware that little Phillip, was her son since Ruth broke down and told him, resented Chuck for living the life he wanted, and spent as much time as possible with little Phillip, convincing Chuck that Phil was after Tara. Phil was laid off from his job with the EPA, but refused Nick’s offer of a job at the Chateau. He did accept a loan from Joe. Phil received an offer from EPA in Dallas, but turned it down, saying he didn’t want to leave Erica and the house. Erica, who was pregnant with Phil’s child when they married, was emotionally unable to accept her subsequent miscarriage and was presently a patient at Oakhaven Sanitarium where despite excellent care her condition had not improved. Incensed, Chuck told Joe it was because of Tara and Joe determined to talk to Phil. Ruth warned Phillip he should take the job before everything blew up. Phil refused. Chuck’s suspicious caused a rift between Tara and him, so he went to confront Phillip. Phil said Tara wasn’t his reason for staying, and was about to spill the real reason, when Claudette arrived. Chuck, relieved, assumed Claudette was Phil’s reason for staying. Tara was upset at Chuck’s conclusions, and checked it out with Ruth, who said Tara would have to ask Phil his reasons. Phil accepted Nick’s job offer. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch The Matthews family and friends were shocked to learn that Mary Matthews died suddenly of heart failure while on an idyllic vacation at St. Croix. Dr. Russ Matthew flew to St. Croix to bring home his father, Jim and his Aunt Liz. Jim, deeply despondent and lost without Mary, refused to leave the house where they were so happy and seemed unable to snap out of his depression until he finally realized his son-in-law John was working late because of his absence in the office and his daughter Alice was delaying her departure for Australia to join her husband Steven Frame, there on business, because of worry over him. Jim, determined not to be a burder on his family, turned down his daughter Pat’s request that he live with them but made an effort and returned to his normal routine. However, he was determined to keep every item in the house intact, exactly as it was the afternoon they left for St. Croix. Pat and John noticed their teenaged daughter Marianne had grown up since her grandmother’s death and were impressed with her continuing effort to be with and cheer up her grandfather. She was spending most of her afternoon running office errands for Jim but Pat began to realize part of Marianne’s motivation was the increased opportunity this gave her to see Willis Frame, Steve’s younger brother, who with Vic Hastings was running Frame Enterprises in Steve’s absence. Willis always made an effort to spend a few moments talking to Marianne and was taken aback when Angela Perrini, his steady girlfriend, insisted that Marianne had a crush on Willis and even casual conversation could easily be misconstrued by her as encouragement. Pat was upset to learn that Marianne’s assisting her grandfather was apparently interfering with her school work and admitted to John she feared Marianne’s interest in Willis because of the mistakes she herselft made at Marianne’s age. John promised to discuss it with their daughter. Alice was assigned special duty with 10 year old Sally Spencer who was brought into emergency after a car crash. Sally and Alice developed immediate rapport and it was to Alice that Sally turned when she was finally told her parents were killed in the accident. Sally told police Lt. Gil McGowan her parents were Peter and Janet Spencer of New York, that she went to school in Vermont and that they were moving to California. However, Gil found that every lead was a dead end. There was absolutey no evidence of their existence in New York and so, as Dr. Dave Gilchrist asked, what happened to Sally when she was able to leave the hospital. Alice postponed plans to join Steve in Australia as her departure would be another loss to Sally right now. Afraid of having to leave the hospital and Alice, Sally secretly stopped taking her medication. Mac and Rachel moved into their recently purchased home despite the fact that renovations were still going on. Mac was rapidly recovering from a serious polo accident but was still unable to walk. Mac pressed Rachel to learn to ride so they could ride together when he was well and, because Mac wanted it, Rachel arranged for lessons for her and her son Jamie with Phillip Wainwright. Phillip apologized for the crude pass he made to Rachel and at his repeated requests she agreed to forget, but she made it clear if he tried again she would tell Mac. Rachel turned out to be an instinctive horsewoman and made rapid progress in her lessons. Learning Rachel had visited Phillip’s house, Iris told Phillip to ask his girlfriend Clarice to move out but Phillip explained that unless Clarice was there, Rachel wouldn’t stop by and told Iris he would go on working on Rachel but he believed Rachel did not marry her father for his money and that the plan would ultimately fail. Iris warned Phillip – get results or his income would be over. Mac was indeed pleased at Rachel’s great progress in riding but was apparently jealous that Rachel and Jamie had visited Phillip’s house and when Rachel suggested that they had misjudged Phillip, Mac replied he had checked on him and found he was a wastrel. Rachel, however, replied that was how people have judged her in the past and maybe they should give Phillip the benefit of the doubt. Hoping Phillip’s move to his own home would eliminate him as a bone of contention between her and Russ Matthews, Iris was chagrined that Phillip’s frequent dropping by continued to anger Russ who instinctively disliked Phillip from the first. When her housekeeper, Louise Goddard, pointed out to Iris she was risking her own future to wreck Rachel’s marriage, Iris realized this was true and when Russ next visited, Iris asked him to marry her. He replied he was about to ask her. Mac and Rachel were pleasantly surprised when Liz Matthews visited to apologize for all things past, saying Mac’s death made her realize life was too short for grudges. Liz, who had hoped to marry Mac herself, deeply resented his marriage to Rachel. Liz and Rachel agreed to try to be friends. Realizing a housekeeper was a necessity in their large home, Mac and Rachel hired Beatrice Gordon who had impeccable references and was apparently very capable. The Corys were overjoyed when Dave told Mac his recovery was complete and he might begin to walk again. However Mac was upset to learn his New York associates had called an unscheduled Board of Directors meeting which looked like a proxy fight and they were circulating rumors that Mac would never be able to attend meetings again. Realizing Mac’s financial empirewas at stake, Dave gave Mac the go ahead to attend. Because of Jamie’s swim meet, Rachel was unable to accompany him. Willis was intensely proud of his new position as a partner in Frame Enterprises and was hurt and resentful when business associates tended to consult Vic, who had long run Steven’s office, rather than come to him. Determined to prove that he was the partner and therefore the decision-maker, Willis rashly undertook a mailing campaign to bring in new business of any kind ignoring Vic’s insistence the jobs were too small for Frame Enterprises. Finally, chafing under Willis’ power plays, Vic placed a conference call to Steve who told them both that Vic was in charge, infuriating Willis. However, Barbara Weaver told Vic if he didn’t resent Willis so much, he would realized Willis’ tactics were out of insecurity and that he should try to help Willis build his self-confidence. Indeed Barbara’s advice worked. Vic soon found Willis could usually reach the logical conclusion if not made to feel inadequate. Willis began looking for an apartment of his own. On Angie’s practical advice, Willis accepted Neal Johnson’s – Robert Delaney’s associate architect – offer to share his apartment. They felt financially it was the smart thing to do. Carol’s insidious sabotage of Lenore’s work in her husband Robert’s office had done more than discreet Lenore’s business competency. Indeed, not able to understand how she could make so many stupid errors in transcribing figures and losing papers, Lenore had come to believe that she was perhaps incapable of functioning in all facets of her life. This self doubt had made it even more difficult for Lenore to cope with Carol’s continuing investigation into the circumstances of the death of Lenore’s first husband, Walter. Lenore had vowed that nobody, particulary her son Walter Jr.; would ever know that his father was involved in swindling his best friend Steven and had himself committed the murder for which Lenore had stood trial. She had therefore virtually never mentioned Walter to their son. However Carol’s questions to the boy had instilled an interest in him about his father and Lenore found if extremely difficult to talk to him or anyone about Walter. Mary’s death proved another bad blow for Lenore and she had begun to have nightmares about losing everyone she loved as well as revival of nightmares about Walter which haunted her day and night. Her family and friends were increasingly worried about her but Lenore became very touchy on the subject of her mental health and resented any intrusions on her privacy. Having learned that Carol tricked Robert into being his best man, Mac invited Lenore to the house to apolize for this, but found it hard to believe Lenore’s certainty that Carol did it deliberately to start trouble. He told her the question wasn’t whether she had reason to be jealous of Carol but if she had any reason not to trust Robert. Lenore and Robert were arguing more frequently about Carol as whenever Lenore tried to point out Carol’s behavior was an attempt to break up their marriage, Robert cut her off saying she was irrational on the subject. Vic, learning of Carol’s newspaper clipping file on the Curtin trial, found she made the file herself; it was not sent to her by friends as she claimed and confronted Carol making it clear if she tried to make trouble for Lenore she would have him to answer to. Robert witnessed the confrontation and was angry at Vic’s involvement in his personal life. Carol told Robert that Vic did this because of his personal feelings for Lenore. Indeed, Vic had very strong feelings for Lenore but, respecting her marriage and wanting her happiness, was content to be a good friend to her. Carol blythly told Rachel that the Delaney marriage was in serious trouble and that very soon Lenore would have lost him and she, Carol, would be able to guide his architectural career to the great heights she knew it could achieve. Rachel however told Carol she realized that married love was a very precious thing and shouldn’t be destroyed, that Carol was using her feelings for Robert as an emotional excuse to damage Lenore’s marriage. When Rachel made it clear she wouldn’t help Carol in her scheme to take Robert from Lenore, Carol made it clear their friendship was over. Robert told Lenore he would have to give Steven an answer quickly on whether he would accept Steven’s offer to be the architect for the entire city Steven’s company was building in Australia. He explained that it was a fantastic career opportunity but Lenore said her life was here and she just couldn’t leave. When Robert mentioned he discussed the Australian project with Carol, Lenore angrily told him to make the decision with Carol, that Carol was intentionally coming between them. Robert replied she couldn’t do that if they wouldn’t let her and he tried to be romantic but she pulled away and he said that she hadn’t been near him for weeks. When Carol pressed Robert to go without Lenore, Robert repled that love was not that easy to find. Upset sufficiently by her nightmares and the arguments with Robert, Lenore agreed to see Dr. Richard Gavin. She reluctantly told him about the dreams but as soon as he asked direct questions about Walter, she walked out saying she couldn’t talk anymore. When Robert conferred on the phone with Richard about Lenore, Carol of course listened in. Robert told Steven via transatlantic phone that Lenore would not go to Australia so, as he saw it, he couldn’t accept the position. However, Carol told Vic that Robert had decided to take the job but it was being kept quiet at the moment. Vic went to the Delaney home telling Lenore that Carol said Robert’s accepting the position but she could be lying or misinterpreting again. Vic took Lenore to lunch encouraging her to talk out the Australia problem with him, not to play into Carol’s hands. That evening, Lenore told Robert why Vic came. Robert angrily suggested that maybe Vic was lying, that he made it up. Before their heated words could become an argument, Robert suggested they work this out and reached for her gently, but she pulled away crying that sex was his usual ineffective way of dealing with the problems they had. Robert stormed out of the house and stayed overnight at the office noting Carol was keeping clothes there again, something he ordered her not to do. The following morning, he sought out Vic venting his anger at Vic’s closness with Lenore implying he was interfering with their marriage. Carol had done a good job – Robert was very jealous of Vic and accused him of lying about what he said Carol told him. Meanwhile, Neal had told Lenore he deeply believed Rachel honestly wanted to prove she had changed and and had convinced Lenore to visit Rachel who was stunned at her arrival with Neal. After several uncomfortable moments, Lenore asked Rachel about Carol’s duplicity and fiding out this is why Rachel and Carol were no longer friends, Lenore began to see the change and whised Rachel happiness with Mac. Unfortunately, Carol walked in with architectural sketches for Rachel – hoping to end their estrangement – and finding Lenore there acidly commented Rachel’s switched sides. Unable to reach Lenore by phone, Robert had been drinking at the office and when Carol arrived she capitalized on the situation. With the right combination of words and liquor, Carol managed to turn his depression to her advantage and they spent the night together. In the morning, Lenore called him saying she loved him. Robert, remorseful, told Carol the previous night never should have happened. Carol replied it should have happened long before. As he apparently had his feelings for Lenore under control as a friendship, Vic had been seeing Barbara Weaver frequently. Barbara consulted Dave about her increasing severe headaches. She used to get them in law school whenever she had personal problems and admitted she was interested in a man who was not very interested in her. Barbara accepted a date with Dave and was pleased when Vic seemed jealous but was later annoyed when Vic canceled a lunch date to help a friend – Lenore. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore Jennifer Hughes, unable to explain her feelings of restlessness to her husband Bob, asked for time.

When Lisa asked Natalie, who had taken Carol’s job at the bookstore, if she had ever been married, Natalie took a long time to answer no. John Dixon had a bone graft on his ankle. The prognosis was good, but his wife Kim broke down, afraid to get her hopes up again. John sent Dan to comfort her and Jen saw them and realized there was something between them. Betsy planned a surprise party for her “cousin” Emmy. Kim and Susan agreed to attend. Susan had been missing work lately dur to her drinking. Several times, Mark Galloway walked out on her because of her drunkenness and lies. The day of the party, Dan reminded Susan of it. She arrived early, drunk, and made a shambles of the decorations and frightened Betsy. Kim took her home and ran into Chris Hughes in the hall. Dan visited Susan after the party, urging her to pull herself together because only she could do it. David told Dan he couldn’t cover for Susan anymore when Susan missed a skin graft. Kim asked John to speak with Susan. John told Kim that when Susan lost Emmy, she lost her last hold on Dan and that was killing her. John confronted Susan with the same idea – she no longer had Dan to love or to hate. John had more tests that showed the bone graft was taking. Overwhelmed it was almost over, Kim cried, then finally allowed Dan to kiss her. Susan returned to Dan’s office to retrieve papers. Seeing Dan and Kim kissing so unnerved her she couldn’t recall what she was doing from minute to minute. Jay Stallings “rescued” her from a bar. Joyce Coleman, after seeing a list of the prosecution’s witnesses and denying she knew any of the names unfamiliar to Grant, called Chris Hughes. She bound him to the lawyer-client secrecy pact, then told hm things that would damage Grant’s case, but refused to tell Grant or let Chris tell him. In a moral dilemma, Chris consulted with Pa as to what to do, deciding he had to honor his word. Despite reassurances to the contrary, Joyce felt Lisa wanted to testify against her to hurt her. Lisa pleased with Dick Martin not to call her but he insisted he needed her testimony. Pa deduces from information from Nancy, who learned from Kim that she saw Chris outside Joyce’s apartment, that Joyce was the client Chris was worried about. Dick Martin used Lisa’s testimony, that Joyce still loved Grant and had hopes of winning him back, to establish motive. Grant had no choice but to try to discredit Lisa’s testimony in order to help Joyce. His efforts failed. The prosecution called Dolores Grave from San Francisco.

Joyce said Grant was her only hope. Days Of Our Lives Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: Betty Corday Beginning on Monday, April 21st, the soap expanded to one hour, airing from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm. Determined to learn once and for all what hold her stepfather, Jack Clayton, had on her mother, Jeri, Trish goaded Jack calling him a wife beater until, furious, he called her a tramp just like her mother, handed her a clipping and walked out. She opened it and found Jeri’s picture and a story of her arrest for soliciting a vice cop. When Mike later returned to the apartment he platonically shared with Trish, he found her unable to speak, obviously in shock. He called his mother, Dr. Laura Horton, and his stepfather, Dr. Bill Horton, who rushed over and treated Trish. They called Jeri who went to wait for Trish to wake up. Mike meanwhile made disaparaging remarks to Laura and Bill about Jeri’s past. They tried to warn him not to prejudge people but he made it clar that Laura, unlike Jeri, would never fall off her pedestal. Laura and Bill said nothing but inwardly realized what would happen if Mike learned that Bill, not Laura’s first husband, Mickey, Bill’s brother, was Michael’s naturel father. When Trish awoke, Jeri tried to explain that she worked as a call girl for 3 months when Trish was an infant and Jeri, broke and sick, had no way to support her child and feared welfare would take her. Trish, bitter and disillusioned, made cutting remarks and told Jeri to leave her alone. Jack later went to the diner where Trish worked to plead Jeri’s case but Trish taunted him and refused to listen. Michael walked in and ordered Jack to stay away from Trish. Jack hit him and they fought on the floor. Trish became hysterical. Trish later rushed Mike, unconscious, to the clinic where he was found to have a concussion in the same area of his brain where he was hurt when hit by a truck several years ago. Realizing Jeri’s planting a showdown with Jack, Laura went to Jeri’s apartment and refused to leave when Jack arrived. Laura warned Jack to pack and leave but he tried to explain Trish needled him into telling her. Jeri, livid, refused to listen and ordered him out. Trish told Jeri about the fight but made it clear she would rather not have Jeri at the hospital where the Hortons would be. Alice Horton, Michael’s grandmother, couldn’t make Trish see she had to have compassion for her mother, but Julie Anderson, Michael’s cousin, told her Jeri was about to tell her the truth herself and explained that she and her own mother Addie were estranged for many years until just before Addie’s death and she regretted the years they lost. Mickey Horton, who had been suffering from amnesia and was known as Marty Hansen, learned of Mike’s accident and recalled Mike’s previous head injury. Realizing he had another memory from the past upset him badly and he told his wife Maggie, in the hospital doing therapy to regain the use of her legs, that he wanted to go back to their farm in Brookville where strangers didn’t make so many demands on them. From the fragments of memory he had, Marty blamed himself for Michael’s previous accident until Alice explained Michael saw Bill and Laura together and realized that was why she wanted the divorce. Crying, the boy ran into the street and was hit by a truck. Marty felt he had to understand Mickey and Laura’s marriage to figure out if his father Tom could be right when he asked if subconsciously Marty wanted Maggie to remain weak and dependent on him. Michael however passed the crisis and regained consciousness. Marty told Mike he realized when he heard about the accident that he cared about him as his son and hoped it was not too late. Michael answered it was not. Jack came late at night to Trish’s apartment insisting he had to talk to her. She phoned Bill for help and he soon arrived, acidly telling Jack that Mike was okay but that he was taking Trish away so she wouldn’t be alone until Mike returned. Bill brought Trish to his father’s house and Alice assured Trish she was home. Tom, realizing Trish could easily believe that all men were like Jack, tried to explain that her lack of affection in her home during her childhood and Jack’s subconscious feared that Trish could turn out “like mother, like daughter” had deprived her of normal healthy affection and therefore explained her suspicions of Jack’s sudden affection and concern as she was a grown woman. This was why he terrified her. He tried to convince her not to fear all men, as not all men were not like Jack. When Jack went to the diner and appealed to Trish, saying he loved Jeri and wanted her back, Trish answered he didn’t know what love was or what a family was, but added she was partially responsible because she always resented him. Jack then went to Mike’s hospital room and apologized, trying to explain that it was all his fault. Mike tried to be compassionate and when Tom met Jack there he gave him a chance to meet the situation with respect, suggesting he was willing to give Jack credit for an attempt to be responsible and mature about this and make sure no future incidents occurred. Jim Phillips, who was running Mickey’s law office since Mickey’s amnesia, was stunned to find his ex-wife, Linda Patterson Phillips was in town. Linda told Jim she had grown up since the divorce and was planning to move to Salem so Jim could see his daughter, Melissa, who deserved to have both parents. Linda asked if Mickey had been located. Jim replied for all legal intents and purposes that Mickey was dead. Linda was therefore stunned to learn that Mickey was alive as Marty Hansen. When Linda was Mickey’s secretary, Mickey mistakenly believed Laura and Bill were having an affair and he subsequently had an affair with Linda. Linda hurried to the hospital to get a look at the new Mrs. Mickey Horton and introduced herself to Mickey explaining who she was and made it clear they had more than an affair, that he had asked her to marry himn, that she thought the child she was carrying was his, and that she only married Jim when she discovered Jim was the father. She added she had returned to Salem as all children had should know who they really belonged to. When Linda then ran into Laura, Linda asked if Marty knew that Michael was his son or didn’t Laura tell him yet. Jim made it clear to Linda that her decision to stay in Salem annoyed him because of her motives. He accused her of still being in love with Mickey. Linda insisted that she had no motives regarding Mickey and that he, Jim, still had the same anger and jealousy toward Mickey that destroyed their marriage. However Linda, who obviously still loved Mickey, encouraged him to turn to her for information about his past which annoyed Laura and Bill greatly. Marty was upset to realize he was remembering bits and pieces of the affair. Amanda Howard visited Greg Peters’ office to apologize and he apologized too. She admitted her declaration to become a tramp was to spite her fiancé, Dr. Neil Curtis, and she realized it was dump. Deciding to channel her efforts constructively, Amanda began working at the clinic. She accepts a dinner date with Eric Peters, Greg’s brother, to celebrate her job and they ran into Greg and his wife, Susan. Susan was very resentful to learn that Greg forgot to tell her Amanda was working at the clinic as Susan herself funded this clinic. Over dinner, Susan admitted to Greg she might indeed need psychiatric help for her jealousy of Amanda and over her obsession with baby Ann. But as she laid her feelings open to him she realized he was looking past her, at Amanda, and hadn’t heard a word she had said. When Eric took Amanda home he explained his novel “In My Brother’s Shadow” meant just that, it was largely autobiographical. And as he was leaving, Eric told her one night soon he would ask to stay and he hoped she would say yes. Amanda was somewhat taken aback by his honesty. Susan saw Laura and at her suggestion returned to work at the clinic. She walked into Greg’s office to find him comforting a distraught Amanda following an accidental meeting with Neil and was stunned to see what affect Neil had on Amanda whom Susan had only seen under the best circumstances. Susan told Greg she could begin to understand why he rushed to Amanda every time she called during during the past turbulent months. When Susan told Eric about Greg’s preoccupation with Amanda, Eric replied Amanda was not a husband stealer, if she and Greg weren’t making it, she shouldn’t use Amanda as an excuse. Neil, meanwhile, near financial ruin due to disastrous investments, had decided his only out was marriage to Phyllis Anderson and her generous divorce settlement. However, learning from Phyllis that Julie was divorcing Bob, Phyllis’ ex, and Phyllis has had hopes of remarriage to Bob, Neil he had to reconcile Bob and Julie to clear the way with Phyllis. He therefore ignored medical ethics – he was Julie’s doctor – and told Doug Williams whom he had guessed Julie intended to marry that Julie was pregnant with Bob’s child and was planning an abortion. As Neil had assumed he would, Doug broke with Julie telling her their relationship wouldn’t work, suggesting she return to her husband. This devastated Julie. She had placed all her trust in their love. She confronted him again insisting he couldn’t mean it, but convinced Julie had to not have this abortion for her sake, he insisted that he didn’t mean it, that he did not love her, which tore her apart. Sure Doug did not know about her pregnancy, Julie could only surmise that the memory of her mother Addie who was married to Doug until her death the previous year was still the factor between them. Feeling abandoned and alone, Julie was bruised further when Phyllis spoke glowingly of the future she and Bob would have and flaunted the shop lease for the boutique she planned to open, exclaiming it was a gift from Bob. Julie finally exploded when Phyllis flaunted her other woman status, coldly announcing that she, Julie, was never the other woman during Bob’s marriage to Phyllis. Learning that Julie was still going ahead with he abortion, Neil took the only available step; he told Bob that Julie was pregnant. Bob therefore sought Julie out and asked her not to do anything to make it impossible for a reconciliation. He told Julie he loved her more than ever. Julie admitted she needed someone but wouldn’t trap him by saying it was him. Julie well realized that she would have emotional problems as a result of the abortion but had decided it was the only way out. Ironically, the nights before her scheduled surgery, Doug wondered if he should go to Julie and told her he wanted her and the child. But when he called her lake house, there was no answer. She was staying at her grandmother Alice’s. Julie checked into Doctor’s Hospital in despair of loneliness and emptiness. Alice arrived to be with her giving her comfort. But Julie couldn’t believe Alice’s assurances that there would be other babies with the man she loved. Doug, suddenly realizing that he had driven Julie to this by omission, rushed to Salem Hospital to claim her and her child only to find she was at Doctor’s Hospital Neil, perhaps suffering pangs of conscience, speeded Doug to Julie and called to delay the surgery realizing he might have blown his chance if Julie got Doug, Phyllis would get Bob. Bob, meanwhile, learning Julie was going through with the surgery was cheered by Phyllis’ surprise visit and told her he wondered if their divorce wasn’t a big mistake. As Doug arrived, Dr. Turner told him that Julie must have had changed her mind – she had disappeared from the room. Julie had gone to to Alice’s where she held her half-sister, Hope, Doug’s daughter. She told her grandmother she remembered how much her mother sacrificed to have this baby. Julie then met with Bob telling him she was pregnant and realized she should have told him as soon as she found out. She then asked for the reconciliation he suggested. Julie was stunned when Bob coldly asked if it was a reconciliation she wanted or a father for her child, pointedly implying he had doubts if the child was his.

Dr. Alan Stewart sympathetically comforted his new bride over the loss of her former husband, the father of her baby son. The baby, after surviving the horrendous ordeal of Toni’s toxemia pregnancy, was delivered prematurely and named for Mike. Biter accusations flared when 13 year old Greta Powers, Mike’s step-sister, stubbornly refused to continue psychotherapy and persisted in her conviction that her brother’s spirit was still alive in another man’s body because of a brief meeting in the hospital with a limping stranger who spoke to her with a voice exactly like her dead brother’s – Mike’s face was totally destroyed by the ship explostion and he was reluctant to notify his family because he feared the disfigurement would be permanent. Dr. Lee Chaing, assisted by the devoted British nurse Dawn Eddington, performed successful facial restorations giving Mike both a new face, and a new lease on life. Mike pleased with his new face, made the long journey home to tell Toni and his parents, Drs. Matt and Maggie Powers, of his remarkable escape only to find Toni on the verge of marrying his cousin Alan. Believing Tony no longer loved him, Mike, like in the poem of Tennyson’s about a self-sacrificing seamon, “Enoch Ardon”, returned to Singapore, just missing Greta’s attempt to trace him down at the Madison Hotel. – Rev. Joe Turner, accompanied by Maggie to prove to her distraught daughter once and for all that Mike didn’t stay at the hotel on November 15th, found out form the regular check that he wasn’t the one of duty that day because of illness. A barman who no longer worked for the hotel registered a man using Mike’s name including his medical title and the address where he and Toni had formerly lived! Everyone was stunned by this eerie turn of events. Alan fearing he might lose Toni to a phantom, finally tracked down the elusive barman and learned that the mysterious man didn’t resemble Matt’s photo of Mike, but he did have something to do with the sea, and somehow must have known about Toni’s plans to remarry because of his references to “Enoch Ardon.” Mike, recently returned from a medial trip to the countryside near Singapore, proclaimed his new found love for Dawn. His dreams of finally finding happiness with Dawn were suddenly shattered when Capt. Zeb, Mike’s former superior officer on the ill-fated ship, arrived for a social visit with his old friend, Dr. Chaing. Capt. Zeb, finally convinced that the stranger before him was really Mike, told Mike of Toni’s delayed remarriage. More importantly, he told Mike that he was the father of a son.

Everlee must have been a medial doctor at one time, and he actually desired Iris’ death to gain control of her fortunes for his own greedy purposes. Althea quarrelled and ended her friendship with Tom when she insisted she alone would discover where Everlee was licensed so she could prove conclusively Everlee’s evil deception and break his murderous spell over Iris.

As Rex too Althea out to the mountain cabin where he said Iris was resting, Iris struggled to reach them and couldn’t but managed to get the operator on the phone before fainting. She was rescued, but, unconscious, she was unable to warn anyone of Althea’s danger. At the cabin, Rex tied Althea and started a fire in the basement. Tom, having finally got the warning from Iris, burst in and rescued Althea after knocking Rex down. Tom took Althea to his apartment because she had lost her keys and joyfully agreed to let her spend the night. Her smokey clothes caused restlessness, so Tom undressed the sedated Althea and put her in his bed. In the morning, Althea asked what happened and was chagrined when Tom gave only accounts of his rescue of her. She finally asked if he was avoiding discussing it because she made love so badly.

Furious he ordered her out and never to come back causing her to leave in tears. Ed meanwhile had been waiting to examine Ken and seeing Janet run out and hearing Ken’s yelling went to her to comfort her and assist her to the living room unaware that Ken in the doorway could see him walking out with janet.

His family was mostly coal miners and he worked for the White Construction Company which was a subsidiary of the Collins Corporation. He went through college on a football scholarship, but was hurt in his sernior year, and was unable to play and not having learned anything, he dropped out. He planned to take one day at a time and money wasn’t important. After this disastrous dinner, nothing went right. The Collinses felt Steve had no sense of direction and was using Liza. Steve was upset because he felt Liza was displaying him. Liza wanted to move in with Steve and Janet said if Steve was going to leave it was better that he did so before they became involved but Liza said it was already too late because she had fallen in love. Since Liza had been avoiding Steve, he confronted her on campus where she told him she didn’t know how to hang loose so it was all or nothing and Steve decided he would not be pushed so it was nothing. Steve told Dave Wilkins that he might be leaving town soon. The reading of Wade Collins’ father’s will was to be in Henderson and his brother, Clay, was flying in from London. While Janet and Wade were waiting on the private plane flying Clay into Henderson, it crashed on the runaway when hit by a smaller plane. The pilot was killed and Clay was rushed to the hospital. Dr. Bob Rogers wanted to operate immediately, but the only available surgon was Shafner who Wade wouldn’t let do the surgery because he was inexperienced and not a neurosurgeon. Against Bob Roger’s wishes, Wade called Tony Vincente, who was recuperating from a serious heart attack. After examining Clay, Tony said he had to operate immediately or Clay could be permantenly paralyzed even though Tony had been warned that he whould not be doing surgery yet. Jo told Wade how dangerous it was for both Clay and Tony if Tony went through the operation, but when Wade sent the request to stop Tony from operating, it was too late. During the operation, Tony became dizzy and had to take oxygen, but finished and they both came out in good shape. Tony had the confidence he needed to continue but in the day following Jo became distressed because he had become over-confident and was talking on too much tiring work. When Tony complained about Clay being a bad patient and not taking his advice, Jo and Bob could only laugh. Clay was running hic business from his bed and upsetting the whole hospital system. Wade told Janet how Clay had always hated him because Clay felt their parents loved him more than Clay. Stephanie Wilkins had decided to take a job in Switzerland, but when Dave, her ex-husband, found out, he went to Kathy Phillips and asked her to help stop Stephanie from taking their daughter, Wendy, out of the country. She told him that because he hadn’t kept up his child support he probably wouldn’t win the case, but it would delay her for awhile.

Somerset Written by: Don Appell, Doris Frankel & Frank Salisbury Produced by: Lyle B. Hill Ned Paisley wanted Tony Cooper as an advertising executive and Tony wanted the job, but he felt he owed it to his father Rex to tell him face to face. Ned pressured Tony by telling him he had another prospect, so Tony took the job then called Rex long distance. Ginger was upset that Ned pressured Tony. Ned asked Eve to move in with him but she refused. Ned told Eve he was ready for a commitment to her, any kind of relationship she wanted. Eve put him off and he finally offered marriage, whiwh they planned to discuss at dinner. Ned’s sister, Victoria, also unattached, was returned to Somerset from Europe. Afraid Eve might tell Julian about her keeping the penthouse apartment, Kate Cannell told Julian about it. He was angry, not so much because it was a needless extravangance as because she did not tell him about it. Kate was increasingly worried about having Julian’s baby through Tom Conway’s sarcasm because she wanted to continue her job as publisher but Julian wanted her to be a full time mother. Tom enjoyed pointing out the drudgery of diapers for Kate versus the exciting life Julian would continue to lead. Kate told Tom not to tell anyone about her pregnancy for 3 months. To silence him, Kate told Tom that Julian adored her and after the baby came, she would be able to use that to get her way. Kate invited Tom to lunch and asked him to stop taunting her about the baby and her marriage. Tom told her he had loved her ever since the weekend they spent together prior to her marriage and had hoped to win her, but he would back off as he saw her marriage was strong. After realizing that woever was breaking into Jerry and Heather Kane’s cabin was doing so with their dog Muffin inside, Lt. Price had Muffin checked for tranquilizers, to no avail. Greg Mercer, Heather’s half-brother, and Julian wondered how the person knew so much about them because the phone calls and the break-ins had come at the worst possible time. They were unaware of the voice-activated tape recorder hidden in the cabin. Vic Kirby, still a suspect, had an alibi for the night Heather’s dress was destroyed. Lt. Price advised they move out of the cabin. They returned from work to find Muffin missing. Jerry told Heather he was sure that Muffin was still alive because otherwise they would have found him, dead or alive near the cabin. Muffin was indeed alive and safe somewhere. Eve, Heather’s mother, had been furnishing an apartment for the Kanes at the Dover House, an apartment building with good security. Ellen Grant convinced Eve that giving the apartment as a surprise gift at the wedding reception for them would be embarrassing, and Jerry and Heather needed a place to move to. Ellen and Eve drove to the cabin when they head Muffin was missing and Eve told them about the apartment. Jerry and Heather made ic clear they did not want to move, but under the circumstances they would accept the apartment. Eve was upset at their reaction to the apartment, which was furnished in modern décor, a far cry from the rustic simplicity of the cabin. Eve arranged with Ned for them to be able to exchange any furniture they wanted. Reluctantly, with the help of Eve, Greg and Jill, they packed to move to the apartment. Eve was supposed to meet Ned for dinner, but when her car wouldn’t start, Heather gave Eve her car. On her way down the mountain, Eve had an accident that totaled the car. She was unconscious and Stan and Jerry agreed that the longer she was comatose, the greated the chance for permanent brain damage. They were particularly concerned about her vision. Ned, waiting for Eve at the Hayloft, received the news there and relayed it to Kate and Julian, who were dining there. They all went to the hospital, where Kate was upset by Julian’s obvious concern for Eve. Julian sent Greg out to find more information for the paper. Greg found the brake cylinders were punctured, making the charge attempted murder. As Eve came out of the coma gradually, she mistook Ned for Julian and told him that Julian was the love of her life. Ned was in shock as he left the hospital. As predicted, Eve’s sight was impaired but Stan and Jerry felt it would improve. Worried because Ned hadn’t been to see her, Eve prodded Heather into calling him from her bedside. Ned, politely and coolly, told Heather that he couldn’t find time to visit, Eve, puzzling Heather, who told Eve that Ned sent his love and would visit when he could, relieving Eve. Moved by a sudden outburst of tears from cub reporter, Carrie Wheeler, Greg made an effort to make friends. Carrie told him she wanted to be a top journalist, but since she was a woman she would have to work had and would not be able to make any personal commitments ever. Carrie revelaled to Ginger that she hated her own father. Greg was in love with Jill, but Jill repelled his advances kindly. When Heather was told the wreck wasn’t an accident, she recalled seeing Vic Kirby near the cabin the night before. Vic denied he had anything to do with the wreck and told Jerry and Lt. Price he no longer thought Jerry was decent and honorable, puzzling Price. The Young And The Restless Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: John Conboy Jennifer Brooks knew that her daughters think she was wrong for wanting to divroce their father for another man, but as Stuart Brooks had a heart attack before she could tell him, she was only concerned that he get well. Peggy, Jennifer’s youngest daughter didn’t want to stay with her mother but Brad, her brother-in-law, said she should because Stuart had asked that Dr. Bruce Henderson, his friend and Jennifer’s lover, be called as a consultant. After seeing Stuart, Bruce told Jennifer that they had to not see each other until Stuart was well because his heart couldn’t stand the strain they had to not be responsible for another heart attack. Stuart took Bruce’s leaving as a sign that he was in good hands and told Brad that he had so much to live for. But after awhile Peggy’s prediction that Stuart would be able to see a change in Jennifer came to pass. Stuart feared the change had to do with Jennifer thinking about how their intimate relationship would change because of his heart attack, but Jennifer managed to reassure him. Peggy had been having a rough time dealing with the upheaval in her life and when Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son, and Peggy’s date before all this, called and went to see her, he found her trying to be seducting wearing Lorie’s dress and manner stating this had to be how to get what you wanted out of life. She tried to seduce him, but he blamed their parents and left. Brad found Peggy in Lorie’s outfit at a campus hang-out made up and making out. Brad tried to convince her that this was not the real Peggy, but Peggy was hurt and claimed this was the way everyone else got what they wanted and went back to show Brad that she could act like Lorie and her mother. When Greg Foster told Brad about the letter from his father and that Chris thought it was from the Regis Hotel in Chicago, Brad said the Regent got confused with the Regis. As Greg prapred to go to Chicago, Chris’ memory was jogged by a letter from the Board of Regents, but promised her husband, Snapper, she wouldn’t tell Greg because Snapper feared that a “visit” from her husband who had been absent 9 years would only hurt his mother. Sam Powers told Greg that he was planning to ask Liz Foster to marry him, but promised Greg he would wait for his return. Greg found nothing in the registration cards, but saw a memo of supplies that Bill Foster “Logan” the janitor had left on the desk and sought out his father in the basement. After telling him what had become of everyone, Greg said he would tell Jill and then think about asking him for a visit. Snapper found out Greg had gone to Chicago, blamed hris for telling Greg and had to apologize when he found out she kept her promise, but told Sam to go ahead and ask Liz to marry him. When Greg got home, he was convinced by his mother’s happiness that he shouldn’t tell her until he remembered that if she married Sam believing Bill was dead, she would be guilty of bigamy and he could be disbarred for knowing. He told Snapper she had to be told and the $1000 repaid to the insurance company. Greg told Liz that his fater was alive and wanted to come home for a visit upsetting Liz because he had been declared dead and she had made up her mind to marry Sam. She would have preferred Greg had not said anything. Greg said that since he knew he had to tell her or she would have been guilty of bigamy if she married Sam unless she got a divorce. After thinking about it, she began to sway when she told Snapper what Greg said and might let him come for a visit. Snapper was sure Sam would understand if she had to get a divorce first. In order to get Jill Foster away from her husband Phillip, Kay Chancellor told Jill she’d send her to college and when Jill said it had been too long since she had been to school, Kay visited Jill’s family telling them of her offer, Jill’s refusal and that she hoped they could change her mind. At dinner that night, Phillip gave Jill a large solitaire engagement ring to wear on a chain. Greg guessed who Jill was in love with when he put everything together, but Jill said she would move out if Greg told Snapper because she deserved some happiness and was going to marry Phillip. Kay told Jill that if she ever intended to marry a man of background and means she had to attend college so that she wouldn’t feel inferior. The more Kay, an alcoholic, recovered from her drinking problem the sorried Jill felt about hurting her, but told herself the marriage was over long before Phillip fell in love with her. Jill was so distraught that when Phillip intercepted her and took her to the cabin in the woods, they had no intention of being intimate, but it seemed right and it happened. Kay saw them and rushed to the phone and ordere a case of vodka, but her son Brock’s singing and her reading of the 23rd Psalm got her through this trying time and she cancelled the order because as long as he didn’t leave her, she didn’t care if he slept with Jill. She had Brock deliver a dress to Jill for the ladies luncheon to be the following day. While waiting for the women to arrive, Kay became distressed when she remembered Phillip and Jill together, but after Brock again calmed her with his singing she was the gracious hostess she once was showing Jill that it took a special kind of woman to be Phillip’s wife. When Phillip came home, Jill told him that she was not good enough, but Brock saw Phillip try to kiss away Jill’s doubts and tell her he would ask for his divorce as soon as she left Kay’s employ. Kay told Brock that Jill had doubts about marrying this secret man she refused to talk about, but was sure he would persuade her. She offered Brock access to the family money if he would marry Jill to save her from this situation. Brock took Jill to his “quiet place”and told her thay they were both searching for something and would do well together. She accepted his proposal and after meditating they pledge their honesty and Brock asked God to accept their vows. Jill’s family was shocked when they found out she had married Brock, but she said she would explain later. They told Kay who was happy for them, but when Phillip came in and Jill had to tell him he was almost beside himself. Because they had no place to go, Kay offered them Brock’s father’s cabin in the woods knowing what memories it would hold for Jill.

Neil’s first episode was great ! His initial interaction with Dru is fun and I loved John and Drucilla’s relationship. The two other storylines were enjoyable as Brock found out Gina married Clint and was shot, Brad wanted a divorce from Cassandra and the business implication. It was very short before her demise I remember as a kid how shocked I was when Cassandra was killed off.

I think everybody loved Carol who seemed like the perfect little wife. Natalie was much more like Lisa with some vixen vibes. Maybe Lisa didn’t like the resemblance for her son.

I haven’t read all of 1975 I am typing so I am not sure Lorie had much interaction with the Chancellors but she was a friend of Brock and Brock is marrying Jill in April so maybe there will be some more.

I hope you are. But even if she is fine, she is 86 !

Bill Bell loved to recycle many of his stories.

I posted in the DTS forum synopses from early 1975 and Liz appeared to be still quite a mess.

MARCH 1975 All My Children Written by : Agnes Nixon Produced by : Bud Kloss Mona was horrified to learn that Phoebe had made Mona's job as Charles' secretary and her friendship with him the crux of an ultimatum - either he fired Mona or they could no longer live together. Mona therefore resigned her job feeling this would ease the pressure on Charles. But Charles furiously told Phoebe either she made a full apology to Mona or when he returned from a medical convention in Baltimore he would rove to his club. Charles convinced Mona to stay on during his absence but Phoebe confronted Mona about this demanding she be gone before his return. when Mona replied she was only staying until a replacement was found Phoebe again neurotically accused Mona of flaunting her attempt to break up the Tyler marriage and threatened to go the the Hospital Board of Directors to expose this “middle-aged femme fatale of the desk set.” Learning this Charles told Phoebe she'd made his life a living hell and over her protests and later pleas he moved out. Charles asked Mona to stay on as he'd need her more than ever. Phoebe, unable to accept the scope of what she'd done told her daughter Ann she'd be patient and Charles would core to his senses and return. Since his wife Erica had been institutionalized for treatment for a breakdown following a miscarriage Phil had not been allowed to see her. He had been informed she still refused to believe she lost the child and had continued to confine herself to bed where overeating and without exercise, the resultant weight gain fed her pregnancy fantasy. Finally allowed to visit, Phil was devastated at her unkept appearance and complete misery as she begged him if he loved her and his baby he would take her hore. Unable to understand why he couldn't, she cried hysterically and had to be led to her room. The final blow for Philip came when he lost his Job at the EPA due to lack of funding. He bitterly told Tara he was a loser, he never got any of the breaks, everything he touched turned to ashes. Tara and Phil both encouraged the closeness that had grown between Phil and his namesake, little Philip, Tara and Chuck's little son, but both were careful not to let it slip the truth that Philip not Chuck was the child's father. Philip and Tara married themselves without clergy just before his being sent to Vietnam where he was reported killed in action. Tara married Chuck Tyler to give her child a legal name and father and most friends and relatives believed Chuck was the child's father. Phil recently learned the truth but for his son's security and emotional well-being he had agreed to conceal this from Tara and Chuck. Mary and Jeff were ecstatic at the possibility that Mary was pregnant. But Mary's joy was shattered when her mother suffered another heart attack and died just after Mary arrived at her side. Tests and x-rays on young Jamie Coles indicated that his injuries were not the result of an accident as his socialite mother, Stacy Coles, insisted, but rather were repeated child abuse. Ann, who grew up in Stacy's social circle, pressed Dr. Joe Martin to talk to Stacy and her business executive husband Wyatt to persuade them to get help from COPE, the organization that helped parents who couldn’t deal with their own emotional problems and take them out on their children. Stacy, furious at the implications, refused to listen to Joe and demanded that her child be released. However, feeling this was what would happen, Ann had taken Jamie from the hospital and had convinced her ex-husband Nick Davis to conceal her and the child. Realizing it had to have been Ann who took Jamie, Joe and his brother, attorney Paul Martin recently divorced from Ann, tried to stall the Coles while they with her brother, Linc Tyler, tried to locate her. Stacy fearing a police investigation would expose her part in Jamie's injuries stalled Wyatt's attempts to call the police. Ann called Stacy promising to return the child if Stacy would go to COPE, but Stacy hung up on her. Wyatt and Stacy fought constantly over what she felt was his neglect of her, leaving her constantly alone with their child, and his insistance that her financial demanded upon him required his overwork and that her incessant spending precluded household help. Realizing Ann was running a serious risk of going to prison for kidnapping, Nick told Paul where she was and Paul forcefully convinced her to relinquish the child to him. As the boy was being physically checked, Joe and Paul tried again to explain COPE and Ann's reason for taking Janie to the Coles. Stacy refused to let Joe continue and demanded Jamie immediately. The Coles were jubulant over the return of their son, but Stacy was furious when Wyatt had to immediately leave for the office. When Jamie began to cry Stacy reacted neurotically and began to recall her own mother, Mrs. Littleton, who verbally abused her as a child - Mrs. Littleton did not want a child and emotionally battered Stacy constantly - and she began to physically take her frustrations out on Jamie. However, Kitty Shea inadvertently arrived with Stacy's new dresses preventing further injury. Fortunately in a polite gesture, Stacy agreed to pass around COPE posters for Kitty and when later Jamie again driove Stacy to the brink of sanity she grabbed the poster and dialed the COPE number. Giving her name, Stacy requested entrance in a parent therapy group. Wyatt was incredulous that she'd done this saying she was not one of "those people" she just had to control her temper. When she insisted she was going and asked him to go with her for moral support, he equivocated. Margo, recently married to Paul, showed her annoyance at Paul’s preoccupation with Ann’s involvement in Jamie’s kidnapping. Considerably older than Ann, her jealousy and insecurities needed little actual encouragement. Claudette, Margo’s daughter, in Pine Valley to obtain a divorce from her socialite husband, rarely missed an opportunity to point up the difference in Margo and Paul’s age and went out of her way to show Paul how sympathetic and understanding she was in areas where her mother was not and suggested she, Claudette, would be happier with an older man. Paul, uspet that Ann might resent the harshness of his argument to gain Jamie’s return, went to apologize to her. As they talked about past misunderstandings, hidden feelings seem to surface between them and when he suddenly kissed her, she passionately responded. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Determined to break up her boss Robert’s marriage to Lenore, Carol had been researching Lenore's murder trial and the subsequent accidental death of Lenore's first husband Walter Curtin. However, she soon realized she was unable to get mare informatIon than the newspaper accounts and, deciding you could catch more flies with honey, apologized to Lenore for this intrusion into her Iife which Lenore loudly objected to and implied she would drop it – Lenore stood trial for the murder of Wayne Addison and discovered after the acquittal that her husband Walter, who was her attorney, killed Wayne. When Walter accidentally died in a car crash, Lenore vowed no one should know that her son Wally’s father was a murderer -. After assuring Robert that despite past differences she and Carol could get along, Lenore began working in Robert’s office doing routine details to free Neal Johnson and Carol for more specialized duties. Carol made a great show of friendship towards Lenore and when Lenore, whose past work record indicated an ability to assume heavy responsibility, began to make careless error after careless error, Carol quickly jumped to her defense claiming Lenore had too great a burden working full-time and being a wife and mother. However, unknown to anyone, these careless mistakes were the result of Carol’s carefully laid sabotage plan. Carol had been secretly changing figures on cost lists that Lenore had made and removing and concealing important work orders and reports making it appear Lenore couldn’t cope with the simplest routine detail. These unexplainable errors were shattering Lenore’s confidence in herself and, coupled with the pressures of bitter memories of Walter which Carol had stirred up, Lenore was beginning to fear she was losing control. When her mother Helen suggested their friend psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gavin see her, Lenore adamantly refused to discuss the situation with him. Learning Lenore was hospitalized after Walter’s death, Carol tried to pry information from Dr. Russ Matthews who was Lenore’s doctor by referring to Lenore’s breakdown. Russ insisted it was only a shock reaction and not Carol’s business. The reaction was not to Walter’s death as much as to having learned Walter was the murderer. Marianne and her mother Pat were still at constant odds over Marianne’s adolescent sensitivity to her mother’s resquets that she know her daughter’s whereabouts. Marianne felt Pat didn’t trust her or treat her fairly, in fact, when her father, John, decided Marianne couldn’t accompany her grandparents on their planned trip to St. Croix, Marianne insisted this was Pat’s doing. Marianne’s emotional upheavals were further complicated by ther overreaction to John and Pat’s personal arguments. Ironically, these were usually over John’s compioning Rachel. Willis, Steve’s younger brother, and Angela Perrini were dating frequently and had become quite close. Willis had told Angie that he no longer resented Steve for never contacting his family after he, Steve, had become wealthy as he, Willis, had the same ambitions Steven did and wanted all the same things Steven had achieved. Angie reminded him he didn’t have to be rich for her, but he replied he had to be rich for himself. Alice was upset at the extremely large total of the charge accounts Willis had made on the Frame accounts. She explained she understood he would just charge clothes, not watches and other personal items. Willis immediately said she misunderstood and thought he was to charge everything but would pay it all back and would even pay room and board as he was working for Steve’s company. Steve, pleased to realize Willis no longer resented him, told Alice the charges didn’t matter. However, when Steve’s construction company had an offer to build virtually an entire city in Australia, Steve realized he would have to be there for a considerable amount of time. He began legal proceedings to make Willis a junior partner saying Frame Enterprises should be a family company. Alice, reluctant to see entire control of Frame Enterprises in Willis’ hands, suggested to Steve that Willis was inexperienced in the business and safeguards for Jamie should be unsured. However, Steve was convinced Willis could handle it and had partnership papers drawn up. Vic would make policy decisions while Willis learned the business. Willis earned John’s, Vic’s and Angie’s respect when he prepared a well thought out, comprehensive plan for training himself for his new responsibilities by following a Frame Enterprises project from conception to completion. Steve told Robert he would offer him the architect’s job on the Australia project if he accepted it. In telling Neal and Carol about the possibility, Robert remarked he wouldn’t tell Lenore until the possibility became fact. So Carol immediately called Lenore and told her how exciting it was that Robert was going to work in Australia. Badly upset, Lenore confronted Robert on this as he arrived home making it clear she couldn’t uproot Wally, she wouldn’t consider going to Australia. Rachel and Mac were back in Bay City awaiting completion of renovation on their new home and were about to leave on their honeymoon. Mac was furious to learn his daughter Iris had managed to steal a copy of his new will from John’s law firm. Realizing the relationship between Mac and Iris was badly strained over Mac’s intention to make Rachel his chief beneficiary, Rachel convinced Mac not to sign the will yet. Learning the honeymoon date had been advanced, Iris frantically told Phillip he had to do something to break up her father’s marriage. Phillip, having dissipated the Wainwright fortune, worked at compromising young women who were marrying into socially prominent families. Phillip virtually challenged Mac to a polo practice by parrying Mac’s pleas that he had no time and implying Mac was too old. When Mac therefore accepted, Phillip pressed Rachel to accept the riding lesson he had been offering her and she agreed to meet him at three. She took the lesson but was furious when Phillip then made a crude pass at her insisting young women couldn’t be happy with older men. She pushed him away, striking him with her riding crop and walked out. An hour later, Mac was brought into Bay City General Hospital with head injuried and Phillip told the staff and police that Mac apparently fell from his horse but, he, Phillip, had his back to Mac at the moment and couldn’t be sure what happened. Mac’s injuries were very critical and Alice, a speciality nurse, was called in on the case. Rachel blamed herself as she gave Mac the polo equipment. Of course, Iris used this opportunity to blame Rachel, and Liz, who had hoped to marry Mac herself before he became involved with Rachel, felt that Rachel had indeed destroyed Mac as she predicted. Iris continually badgered Rachel about marrying Mac only for his fortune. Rachel, sickened at this, pointed out that it was Iris, not she, who seemed to be preoccupied with Mac’s money. Indeed, Louise Goddard, Iris’ secretary / housekeeper, realized, seeing Rachel with an unconscious Mac, that she did love him and Iris was furious when Louise told Iris she was making a great mistake by trying to break up this marriage. Louise, realizing Iris was getting into this far deeper than she realized, returned the stolen will to the Randolph office after receiving assurances that the matter would be dropped there. Iris, who had been using Liz in her plots to break up Mac’s marriage, brought Liz to see Mac at the hospital. However, the emotional strain Liz had been under reached its head when Mac asked her to be kind to Rachel and, upon seeing Rachel in the corridor, Liz physically attacked Rachel and had to be restrained by orderlies. She was hospitalized and by the following morning realized that she had indeed lost control. In her first move towards self-preservation, Liz told Alice she didn’t want to see Iris as Iris put her in stress situations she couldn’t handle; she had to accept the fact that Mac was married to Rachel. Soon released, Liz accompanied Jim and Mary Matthews to Steve and Alice’s home in St. Croix for a vacation. While it appeared Mac might have permanent spinal damage and might never walk again, Dr. Dave Gilchrist was able to tell Rachel, after extensive tests, that Mac would in several weeks be able to move around pretty well, the disc was not shattered, just ruptured and it would heal. Allowed to work in his hospital room, Mac had Barbara bring him the new will which he signed, with Vic and a reluctant Alice as witnesses. Iris pressed to have Mac returned to her house for recuperation but he and Rachel insisted he would go to Rachel’s apartment until their home was finished. Iris then tried to have Alice agree to continue nursing him but Alice refused despite Iris’ neurotic charges that Rachel had the money signed over to her, with Mac at her mercy, Mac could be done for. Dave was appalled at this as it was obvious to him as it was to so many people that Rachel deeply and completely loved Mac as much as he loved her. Linda Metcalf recently engaged to Zac Richards became Mac’s private nurse and between Linda and Rachel, Mac felt completely well cared for. Dave provided sleeping pills, however for Mac so he wouldn’t be getting by on nervous tension. When Rachel was asked to sign the will as executrix, she suggested that Iris be asked to be executrix instead to try to change her opinion about Mac and the will. With Rachel in constant attendance of Mac, Phillip was spending all his spare time with cocktail hostess, Clarice Hobson which annoyed Iris considerably. Clarice had overheard much of Iris and Phillip’s conversations but Phillip refused to elaborate on why they constantly discussed Rachel. Phillip pointed out to Iris the executrix couldn’t challenge the will – if she agreed, it would make Rachel believe Iris had finally accepted the situation – furthering their plot to destroy Mac’s marriage. So Iris visited Mac and Rachel and sweetly apologized and accepted the honor. In St. Croix, Jim and Mary Matthews’ idyllic second honeymoon was shattered when Jim discovered Mary unconscious on the patio. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore Bob was puzzled about Natalie’s attitude toward illness, observing she appeared to take illness as a personal insult. Suspecting cirrhosis of the liver, Bob convinced Natalie to have more tests which showed she had Wilson’s Disease, a hereditary disease in which the body failed to rid itself of the copper, that would have killed her had she developed it as a child. He assured her that with daily medication, she’d be able to live a long time, but because it was hereditary, she had to inform any man she intended to marry. Tom, Bob’s son, was Natalie’s constant companion, and as his feelings deepend, Tom asked his mother, Lisa, to make contact with Natalie for his sake. Lisa complied, although she had misgivings because she was fond of Tom’s estranged wife Carol. Natalie wasn’t responsive to Lisa’s overtures, suspecting Tom was behing them. Tom also asked his father and stepmother, Jennifer, to invite Natalie and him to dinner. Jen didn’t understand Bob’s reticense when she suggested they make the evening soon, and was further confused when Natalie wasn’t receptive. Carol was finding the strain of working in mother-in-law Lisa’s shop too much and gave her notice, despite Lisa’s objections. Jay Stallings heard of it and asked Carol to come to work for him. Carol was reluctant, feeling a loyalty to the Hugheses. Jay warned she’d never be free to live her own life until she cut the ties with her past. Natalie lost her job and when Tom heard of it, he asked Lisa to hire Natalie to replace Carol. Lisa would rather not but under Tom’s pressure agreed to think about it. Jay overheard them and reported to Carol who finally decided to cut all ties with the Hugheses except Jen. Jen told Bob everyone’s life seemed so full except hers. When Natalie asked Lisa for Carol’s job, Lisa gave in. Carol told Jen she felt her problem was she was too square and would change her life. Jen warned her against it. Carol invited Jay to dinner and tried to be romantic, but when Jay tried to make love to her, she couldn’t because she didn’t love him. Jay went to a bar where had just left Susan after an argument about her drinking. Jay and Susan spent the night together, but Susan didn’t remember it the following morning. Susan promised David she’d try to straighten out. John noticed that his wife Kim and his doctor Dan were avoiding each other and asked if they were concealing something about his condition. They reassured him. Kim tried to get out of going to Betsy’s school open house when she learned Dan was going, but couldn’t face Betsy’s disappointment. After the program, while Betsy left them at the ice cream parlos, Dan finally told Kim he loved her. Kim told him she didn’t want to hear it and rebuffed further attemps by Dan to reiterate his feelings. John was sent home from the hospital. At home, he told Dan that he had come to terms with himself and his past and would try to be a more human doctor. He also said Da and Kim were the most admired and important people in his life. Dan got Kim alone and got her to admit she had deep feelings for him, too, but she insisted she had to honor her promise to stay with John until he had recovered, so, to make it easier on them, she asked Dan that they not see each other until then. The night of the open house, Susan arranged to see her daughter Emmy, but when she arrived to find Ellen babyshitting, Susan, who was accompanied by Mark, stayed only 10 minutes. They went to a bar where Mark left her briefly to make a call. A man accosted Susan, but Jay, who was there with Carol, “rescued” her, telling Mark he’d never neglect his woman like that. Mark and Jay confronted each other the following day increasing the bad feelings between them. Susan called in, saying she wouldn’t be in, upsetting David Stewart as she knew it would. David was concerned by Susan’s increasing neglect of her work. Dan received a call from the police who had found Susan too drunk to drive and requested he pick her up and take her home. He did but they stopped for a snack and ran into Jay and Carol. Susan ordered a drink, to Dan’s dismay, then she refused to stay long enough to drink it. At her apartment, Susan wouldn’t listen to Dan’s solicitous advice about her drinking, saying he lost his right to interfere in her life. Mark arrived and threw a jealous fit. Susan threw them both out. The following morning, Susan berated Bob for discharging a skin-graft patient early, insisting the procedure was scheduled for 10 a.m. Bob finally persuaded her to check the chart and Susan was humiliated to find he was right that they procedure was scheduled for 8 a.m. adding to her hangover problems. She also didn’t recall seeing Jay and Carol. Grant accepted his estranged wife Joyce’s case. She had confessed to deliberately killing a man. Lisa was supportive of Grant, saying it would all work out perfectly, but her expression betrayed her. She asked Bob to remind her if he saw her waivering. Grant found that Joyce knew the man she killed in the accident the previous fall. His name was Gregory Paget. After the breakup of the marriage to Grant in San Francisco, Joyce had briefly dated Paget, but when he pressed, she’d broken it off. He had forced himself on her one night, making Joyce feel very guilty. This was when she came to Oakdale, where on top of the guilt, she’d live the fantasy that she could repaire the right in her marriage. Paget had discouvered her whereabouts and discovering Joyce’s hopes, he’d tried to blackmail her. The phone call she’d received the night of the accident was from Paget. She went to his motel room where he’d demanded money and made a pass. Joyce had fled in panic and racing out of the parking lot, she’d hit and killed Paget when he tried to flag her down. She remembered hitting her brakes but couldn’t recall whether it was before hitting Paget. Grant pointed out that Joyce had wanted to kill to protect her fantasy about reconciling with Grant. Grand and prosecutor Dick Martin, and ex-friend of Lisa’s, appeared to be an even match. Dick interviewed Nancy Hughes and Lisa about Joyce’s hopes when she arrived in Oakdale. They gave opposite answers. Grant was sure he could get Joyce off. Chris Hughes, his law partner, was doubtful. Grant and Dick met to set a court date. They felt each other out regarding witnesses and evidence. Grant appeared to have the upper hand until Dick received a communique from San Francisco. Lisa tried valiantly to retain her support of Grant, but admitted confusion to Bob. An early trial date was set. Days Of Our Lives Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: Betty Corday Under enormous strain during the operation to determine if his Maggie’s spinal tumor was cancerous, Marty Hansen – who was Mickey Horton and had amnesia – was stunned when Bill, his brother, told him Maggie’s cyst was benign, as he suddenly remembered Bill telling him some years ago in the same waiting room that his then wife Laura and her unborn baby had survived surgery. Marty, terribly upset as he began to remember bits and pieces of his life as Mickey, told himself it was not memory but rather a visualization of episodes about which he’d been told. Since additional orthopedic surgery was done when the cyst was removed. Maggie was told that she stood an excellent chance of walking again but would require months of therapy in Salem hospital. When Marty pressed Tom to allow Maggie to return to Brookville for therapy, Tom asked if Marty really wanted Maggie to walk again or did he subconsciously wanted her to remain dependent upon him. Accepting the necessity of therapy in Salem, Maggie encouraged Marty to drop by the law office and found something to occupy himself. Feeling completely betrayed at having found her fiancee Neil Curtis with another woman the night before their chancelled wedding, Amanda Howard had made it clear that this was the new Amanda, a pleasure seeker who would use men as they used women. Neil, upset that he couldn’t reach her, told Greg Peters to watch out for Amanda, infuriating Greg at the implication that Amanda could act like a tramp. Susan, Greg’s wife, met Greg’s brother, Eric for lunch to explain Greg’s overinvolvement with Amanda was hurting their marriage and as she wanted it to work, she asked Eric to date Amanda. Eric agreed because he loved Susan but Susan was unaware of this. Amanda indeed made an attempt to pick up men at Doug’s Place but Don Craig, alerted by Julie, pointed out to Amanda that she couldn’t do it and she allowed him to take her home when they found Greg waiting anxiously. Greg angrily told Don he was not wanted there and then furiously upbraided Amanda for her behavior. When she acidly replied that she didn’t need his protection, she was not his lover or his wife, he angrily grabbed and kissed her, then pulled away in horror. She bitterly asked if he was another Neil Curtis, ready to take a patient to bed. When Neil ironically arrived and admitted he had asked Greg to keep an eye on her, Amanda furiously threw them out saying they were a perfect pair – the cheating husband and bridgegroom who cheated the night before his wedding. Susan made clear to Greg that her bitterness over his having no time for her or baby Ann. She said she was through with his insulting her intelligence, it was apparent he wanted Amanda dependent upon him, it was part of his obsession. Furiously she added she had had it with waiting – two could play this game. Greg accused Susan of being a mother first and last and only negligibly a wife. Angrily Susan mentioned Eric causing Greg to explode in fury – baby Ann was Eric’s natural child, a result of that one night in the park. – But when the word divorced was mentioned, it sobered them both as they realized how much was at stake. Bill told his wife Laura that he had painfully learned that he would never be a father to young Michael so he’d settle for a comfortable Uncle Bill relationship. Bill was actually Michael’s father but Michael and Marty/Mickey believed Mickey was his father. However, Michael expressed to both Bill and Laura his pride in Bill as a surgeon and assured Bill it was fine about the baby he and Laura were expecting. Julie told attorney Jim Phillips to start her divorce proceedings from Bob Anderson immediately but was shocked to see Bob arrive at Doug’s Place for dinner with his ex-wife Phyllis. She insisted to Doug she was not jealous, she just didn’t like to be made a fool of in public. She told Bob she had filed for divorce and he might date whomever he pleased. Phyllis and her daughter, Mary, were jubilant over this and Phyllis told Bob she’d be there for him. Julie told Neil, her doctor, to arrange for an abortion but Neil encouraged her to think further. Realizing this abortion had to be done before she and Doug could have a life together, Julie insisted that it had be scheduled quickly. However, learning of Laura’s expected child badly upset her. Both Don Craig and Laura tried to discourage Julie from this but her mind was made up, she wouldn’t discuss it. Pressed again by his stockbroker for the $20.000 he desesperately needed, Neil tried to make an approach to Phyllis as she had once offered to loan the money to him but he was upset to learn she was seeing Bob. Realizing he had to separate Bob from Phyllis if he was to get close to Phyllis and her money, Neill went to Doug – having figured out that Doug was Julie’s reason for the divorce – and pretended to “accidentally” mention Julie was pregnant and was planning an abortion which would emotionnaly harm her. Neil realized he was messing up Julie’s life but told himself he had no choice. Doug, badly hurt, told Jeri he couldn’t allow Julie to have this abortion as she already suffered over the years she lost with her don, David, having originally given him up for adoption and she couldn’t sacrifice a second child. Feeling he knew what was ultimately best for Julie, Doug decided to break with her without letting on he knew about her pregnancy and to press her to return to a life with a man she didn’t love. He told her chemistry between them wasn’t enough to build a life on, he didn’t want to be tied down, didn’t want the responsibilities of a relationship with her or any woman and told her to run along to her husband who loved her. He concluded by saying he was through breaking up marriages. Julie, devastated, told Jeri there was no reason to go on without Doug. Jeri tried to show Doug he could be wrong, but Doug insisted that Bob had a right to a possible son and Julie deep down needed this baby. When Doug told Neil he had to stop Julie from having the abortion for her own emotional sake, Neil said the only way they could do this was if Bob was pressed to reconcile with Julie and he couldn’t, because medical ethics, tell Bob, but Doug could. Doug therefore pressed Bob to admit that he wanted Julie back desperately and encouraged him to make another attempt. Julie, at the lake house, desperately tried to make sense out of what Doug said and refused to discuss the abortion with Tom Horton, her grandfather, who visited her there. Bob later arrived and asked Julie if there was another man. She painfully and truthfully said no one. Bob told her that he loved her and wanted her back and staying all night in the living room was there to comfort her when she had bad dreams over Doug. Julie was torn when Bob suggested bringing her son David home from military school. David could be the son he had always wanted. Afraid her daughter Trish would learn the hold her husband Jack had over her was knowledge she once turned in desperation to prostitution to support her infant child, Jeri agreed to leave town with Trish before Jack returned from his most recent alcohol bender. However, Jack returned the night before their planned departure and Jeri, resolved to deal with threats and violence from him, was shocked when he threatened suicide if she left him and told her that he loved her, something he had never done in their nearly 20 years of marriage. Trish was furious that Jeri had once more given in to Jack who when drunk had, on occasion, badly beaten Jeri and she felt she had to confront Jack once and for all to learn what his hold was on her mother. The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock Produced by: Joseph Stuart Half way around the world in Singapore, Mike’s fantasies about his wife Toni, who had become Mrs. Alan Stewart, became less poignant to deal with and the focus of his love life gradually turned towards lovely English nurse Dawn Eddington. Watching Dawn care for a frightened, abandoned 3-year old Chinese boy while the authorities located the child’s mother, Mike was impressed with Dawn’s tenderness and maternal affection, something he believed Toni never possessed. Dr. Lee Chaing, Dawn’s adopted brother who was pleased about Mike’s growing love for Dawn, looked forward to the arrival of his friend Captain Zeb Kirk. Mike’s former seacaptain was the one who informed Matt Powers and Toni of Mike’s death after the explosion at sea and knew of Toni’s baby son, Michael Paul Powers by Mike who unknowingly left Toni pregnant when he ran away to sea to conquer his drug habit. Mike prepares to leave town on another medical trip to the needy residents of the countryside. When Alan and Toni returned home from their idyllis honeymoon in Hawaii, they found that 13-year-old Greta Powers was aloof and hostile. Toni questioned Matt who sadly told her of staff psychiatrist Dr. Chuck Weldon’s diagnosis about Greta’s obsession over Mike being alive due to her encounter with a limping stranger at the hospital who sounded just like her brother. Greta didn’t recognie Mike because of the total reconstruction of his face. Greta was convinced that Mike’s spirit had entered the body of this man whom she believed to be a survivor of the ship disaster. Toni and Alan planned to have another baby quickly after Steve gave Toni his reluctant O.K. Toni preferred to ignore the one in three chance of reoccurrence of toxemia from which she nearly died in her first pregnancy and assured everyone she would be able to handle having two babies so close in age. Hank and Lauri feared that professional record promoter Harry Auger would somehow lured talented medical student singer Andy Anderson away from his chosen carrer of neurosurgery. Tom resented Chuck’s continual interference into his and Althea’s private lives. Althea who was no longer officially on Iris’ case refused to stop caring about her obviously ill friend. Althea, visiting Iris, secretly stole a sample of some herbs when she learned that Rex, faith healer, had been insisting that Iris drink them in a tea along with a special diet. She had Tom analyse the herbs. Althea, realizing they were all low in sodium, wondered how the classical treatment for incipient heart failure figured into Everlee’s plans. Tom and Althea, dining at the posh Chanticler Room, accidentally met Iris, who insisted that they joined her in a celebration toast to her forthcoming marriage to Rex. Althea, stunned by the news, helplessly watched Iris overindulge with champagne and caviar, but leapt into action when Iris suffered a heart seizure and had to be hospitalized. Matt suspected and tested for T.B. which was a far cry from the exotic African disease Rex had convinced Iris she contracted as her punishment for not finishing her dead husband’s charitable work among the poor natives. Desert Vista, the tranquil, warn haven for recuperating Ann Larimer, turned out to be a stormy explosive environment because Dr. Nick Bellini, Ann’s fiancé, felt she didn’t have enough trust in their love for the final commitment of marriage. Ann, concerned about her permanent lung damage, steadfastly refused to tie Nick down to an invalid. Althea learning of the situation from Steve who recently returned from Desert Vista, tried to convince Ann by phone that she lost Nick long ago when she refused to trust him and that Ann might lose Nick for good if she didn’t stop making conditions on their love. Karen completely recovered from her amnesia, and permanently working in the hospital clinic, was proceeding with her plans to regain the love of her young son Erich by becoming a constant visitor to the Aldrich home. Adding to further anxieties Carolee and Steve learned the dreadful facts from their lawyer that Carolee’s adoption status as Erich’s legal mother could be overturned in the courts if Karen, once thought dead, demanded Erich back. Alterted by his brother Jason in Texas that Jason’s step-daugther, Stacy Wells, a student at Baldwin College, apparently was having problems affecting her grades as well as her emotions, Steve visited the girl but she refused to open up to him. Learning of Steve’s failure, Carolee volunteered to try speculating that if the problem was a man, she might talk to another woman. Actually, Stacy, whose personal esteem was badly shaken by believing herself an embarrassment to her socialite mother and her real father – a dashing ladies’ man, she felt a grown daughter was socially unacceptable to them – had fallen in love with Peter Terrell, resident artist at Baldwin, only to learn he was married. When Stacy made it clear she wouldn’t have an intimate relationship with a married man, Peter declared he was asking his wife a divorce immediately but then reported he couldn’t as she was out of town. Stacy was not sure she believed him and contemplated the bottle of sleeping pills she told Steve were allergy tablets. The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson In a defiant showdown between Danny and Morlock, Danny, desperately trying to force a confession of guilt from Morlock about the death of Danny’s wife, Babs, struggled and shot Morlock with his own gun. The police, realizing the shooting was accidental, did not press charges against Danny, and Morlock was rushed to the hospital with a serious but not fatal wound. Morlock, groggy with painkilling drugs, believed he was dying and made a deathbed confession to his numerous coldblooded murders, starting with the arrangements for seaman Floyd Porter’s planting of the bomb on the yacht Sprite which caused the drowning death of Adam Drake’s lovely young bride, Nicole. He explained that Babs overheard Morlock’s and Porter’s conversation about the Sprite and had to be permanently silenced, as did Porter later when he was in prison. Furthermore, Morlock confessed in front of Chief Bill Marceau and others that he killed Taffy Sims, just the way Adam had postulated the murder occurred! Martha was the innocent victim of a diabolical syndicate scheme of blackmail. Unfortunately, this deathbed confession, although witnessed, was not given with awareness of consent and therefore was inadmissible court evidence and could not be used to save Martha from prison. Adam, armed with the details of Taffy’s murder, confronted lawyer Paul Fairchild whose bravado facade crumbled and he gave the police the valid confession they needed. Even though Morlock and Fairchild would be imprisoned, Morlock had remained silent about the real head of the syndicate, Walter LePage, a respectable businessman, leading Mike Karr, head of the Crime Commission, and others to believe the clever Morlock might be the leader. When there was talk that the Crime Commission should remain a permanent committee, Nancy, Mike’s wife, became fearful for his safety again. Johnny and his young wife Laurie settled into running their popular New Moon Café as John’s double agent undercover work had ended. When Laurie, still emotionally shaken from the ultimely death of her former husband Vic Lamont, showed signs of being ill, she went to the doctor and was ecstatic to learn she was pregnant. After Martha’s acquittal, ADA Brandy Henderson, who had gained favorable notoriety in the Marceau trial despite the outcome, found her budding romance with Adam abruptly ended. On a post trial visit to New York, Brandy’s brother, Dr. Quentin Henderson, who was busy setting up his new practice in psychiatry, noticed his sister’s depressed mood and planned to keep in close contact. Adam did not want to forgive Brandy for her forceful attack on Martha despite his protests that he realized she was only doing her job. Brandy, as well as Nancy, both suspected that the real reason for Adam’s attitude was his obsession that somehow Nicole might still be alive. The Karrs were disturbed to learn that Adam had been secretly running an ad in local Caribbean papers offering $5000 reward for information about Nicole. Adam had hopes she survived the explosion and perhaps had amnesia. Adam, who had resumed his law practice partnership with Mike, delivered the revised will naming Kevin Jamison as heir to the Whitney millions and was shocked to learn from Geraldine that Nicole had a first cousin, Serena Travis Faraday, the black sheep of the family, presently living in Capital City with her publisher husband. Adam told Mike he had resolved the Nicole situation and was no longer looking for her but Mike asked if his interest in Serena wasn’t yet another search for Nicole. When Kevin’s new foreign crime reporting assignment had to begin immediately after Martha’s trial, Phoebe was forced by Geraldine to make a decision and let Kevin leave without marrying her first. Geraldine forcefully pointed out not only how prestigious the trip would be for Kevin’s career, but that she would disinherit him if they married, and Phoebe wisely realized that Kevin would never forgive her for that. Phoebe not only found herself without her fiancé, but without a job as well since psychiatrist Dr. Jim Fields had left for Canada. Widowed Tiffany Whitney accepted without reservation charming Noel Douglas’ proposal and prepared for happy married life ignoring Geraldine’s warning about not knowing enough about the attractive financial consultant. Unknown to everyone, Noel had been making regular intimate visits to Tracy Dalla’s apartment reminding her of the old days in Chicago. Tracy insisted she didn’t want to carry on their relationship once Noel married but he had different plans. Danny, as Babs’ ghost had been laid to rest, went to Tracy’s apartment – while Noel remained hidden in the bedroom – and bumblingly confessed his love for Tracy. Following Tiffany and Noel’s simple home wedding ceremony, Geraldine’s toast to the couple’s future happiness was ominously interrupted when her champagne glass suddenly fell from her hand and was shattered.

Jessie under expert care began a rapid and favorable recovery. Diana, on the other hand, having confessed in open court and produced the real murder weapon to save Jessie, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for 2nd degree murder. Diana’s lovely younger sister, Beth Maynard, a recently graduated RN, arrived to care for baby Martha and assumed Diana’s nursing position at the 7th floor desk. Ross Jeanelle, fired for his bungling of Jessie’s case, was apologetic and just before leaving for another job in a nearby town, told Beth that the secret of the whole murder laid in Jim Hobart’s mind – Jim’s heavy drinking that night had led to a complete blackout of the entire evening. – Beth staunchly believed in her sister’s innocence and vowed to uncover something that would clear Diana. Peter Taylor, bewildered by Diana’s confession, felt she might be trying to protect him form the murder charge even though he had sworn to her he did not kill Phil.

She finally confessed to her only close friend, Jane Dawson, that she was pregnant but that she would never divulge the name of the father. When Jane, fearing that Augusta might be close to a nervous breakdown because of her loneliness and unhappiness coupled with her financial concern for her future, went to Peter, a psychiatrist, and asked him to help Augusta professionnaly, Peter agreed, and later visiting Augusta found she was indeed close of an emotional crisis. Audrey, terrified with the irresponsible stranger Jim had become since he started drinking heavily, forbade Jim to care for her young son Tommy. Jim became enraged and abusive when he finally learned that it was Audrey, not Brewer as he believed, who told Steve about his continued secret drinking which led to Jim’s reapplication for his old job being refused and to Brewer being hired as the head of the Cardiac Unit. Blaming Audrey for the complete mess, even for indirectly placing Brewer in his new job and at the hospital that fateful night, Jim packed and stormed out, leaving Audrey. Lucille, Audrey’s sister, distraught over Audrey’s fate, told Steve who was once married to Audrey and was considering future with Kira Faulkner, about Jim’s abandonment of his family. After several days without word about Jim’s well-being, Audrey tracked him down to Johnny’s Bar and pleaded with him to come back and try to remember what happened that night to help save Diana. Jim was still being haunted by nightmares of seeing Brewer not only alive but dead and the confusion was tormenting his conscience. After Beth echoed Audrey’s pleas, Jim decided he had to find the truth no matter what and prepared to retrace his steps the night of the murder. Attorney Lee Baldwin oversaw setting the scene making sure that many of the people who were on the 7th floor that evening would be present. Even Jessie, still hospitalized and recuperating, insisted upon dressing and taking her position at the desk. However, Augusta nervously asked Lee if she could beg off saying she had not feeling well. But Lee insisted her presence was crucial as she was the only person Jim recalled seeing. At the appointed time, Jim arrived and disposing of his pocket flash in an ashtray, steeled himself for the ordeal.

He persuaded Holly’s husband, Ed, to refill the prescription and Holly brought the tablets. Ken then staged his scenario by telling his partner Mike Bauer, his mother Barbara and her husband Adam that Janet’s refusal to allow him to come home proved he had no future, that Janet was the villain depriving him of the one thing he wanted – the life he needed to be a whole person.

Sara had managed to break through the wall the young T.J. had erected around himself to insure that he could be hurt no more. Having been emotionally battered by his mother and eventually abandoned by her, T.J. was found by the police in an abandoned building and brought to Cedars for treatment for malnutrition and ulcerated legs. On the road to recovery, he feared a foster home and threatened to immediately run away. Mr. and Mrs. George Lawrence, experienced foster parents who had had success with difficult boys, agreed to take T.J. but, upon meeting him, told his social worker they didn’t believe they could handle it after all – he meant it – he would run away. Pam, after Tim’s emergency surgery delivery of her child following toxemic endema, was crushed to learn the baby had Hyalene Membrane disease and her survival was doubtful. However the baby, whom she named Samantha, managed to miraculously survived lung collapse and began to gain weight and responded to treatment. Meanwhile, Ed Bauer informed Tim that he would be examined by an investigating committee to determine the results and repercussions of Tim’s actions in this matter. Tim was afraid to face Pam but when he finally did, he was relieved to see she was not angry at hom but rather she was deeply concerned about his future. Pam convinced Steve to allow her to testify in Tim’s behalf. The hearing was convened. Steve outlined the two basic charges: Tim did not notify Ed of the change in Pam’s condition as he was ordered to, thus deliberately disobeying orders, and he lied to the Charge Nurse saying he had Pam’s verbal permission to operate in order to prevent her from calling Steve, the Cief of Staff. Tim was terribly upset to find Pam was testifying and he insisted her condition did not warrant her being out of her room. Pam tried to take full responsibility saying Tim was right, she was risking her life and the baby’s and the fact that they were both alive was only due to Dr. Ryan’s actions. However, Steve and Joe explained the case did not rest on her consent but on the two specific charges. When asked for his own remarks, Tim outlined his own philosophy of medicine. He admitted he was subjective, subjective about death; that he saw medicine and his career as man against death and he beat death in Pam’s case; he would do it again if he had to. He realized this may cost him his residency which meant everything to him but his is what he believed. As the board deliberated the case, Tim was sure he was going to be dismissed from Cedars and was stunned when Steve later announced he had been reinstated as Chief Resident but was on 6 months probation – broke one regulation and he was out. – Tim was upset to learn his objection to Pam’s testimony, putting his patient’s welfare ahead of his own, was the deciding factor – he felt the case should have been decided on its own merits. He noted this proved you had to live by the rules, you couldn’t fight City Hall. Steve replied if you had learned that, you had learned a lot. How To Survive A Marriage Written by: Margaret DePriest Produced by: Peter Engel Johnny McGhee arrived for work as bartender as Noah’s Ark to find J.B. being held at knife point by a supposed robber. The man was actually one of the men who had been passing counterfeit bills there. Johnny begged the man to take what he wanted and to get out, but the man lunged at Johnny with the knife. Johnny parried the thrust and stroke him. As he fell, the man his his head on the bar. Johnny told J.B. to call an ambulance. Instead, J.B., sending Johnny for a nearby doctor, ascertained the man was dead, picked up the knife, planted a picture of Johny and the man passing counterfeit money and left. When Johnny got back with the doctor, the doctor pronounced the man dead and called the police. While Lt. Bowling and the police investigated, J.B. came back, denying he was there before. Since no weapon were found and Johnny was an ex-prize fighter, Johnny was arrested and charged with Murder I. Maria called Johnny, finally got through and learning what was going on, rushed over. Bowling told her to get a lawyer. Frantic, Maria went to Fran who steered her to Peter Willis. Peter took the case although he was a corporate lawyer. Maria finally got to see Johnny by giving permission for their bank statements to be examined. In his investigation, Bowling was assured by Sandra Henderson and Maria that Johnny never lied, and that J.B. was suspect for telling Johnny to accept large bills late at night. Bowling asked J.B. for his bank statements. J.B. refused until he realized doing so would make him look suspicious. Later, Sandra told Maria about Jerry Nelson. Maria was ready to trace him herself, becoming gradually convinced that Peter was incompetent. Johnny told pregnant Maria to back off, passing the information to Bowling who appeared reluctant to follow it up. Joan told Larry Kirby her own fears of Peter’s abilities in a criminal case. J.B. visited Jerry Nelson informing him that the messenger was dead and Johnny would take the rap thanks to his setting the thing up in the beginning and planting the picture. Jerry also had a copy of the picture and tried to blackmail J.B., but he was surprised with J.B. replied he had an envelope for the D.A. in his safe in case Jerry tried any more strong arm stuff. J.B. said he could just write this money off. When Bowling learned Maria was looking for Nelson, he convinced her to back off, or she’d drive him underground. He also let her know he was investigating J.B. Bowling scared J.B. when he mentioned it was strange that the counterfeit bills were passed the first night Johnny became manager when Johnny himself didn’t know he was going to be manager. Larry felt that his wife Chris was rejecting him sexually to get revenge for his leaving her for Sandra and going through the divorce. Although neither wanted another child, neither would submit to sterilization and Chris refused to take the pill. Feeling caged in by her remarriage and the contraceptive impasse, Chris increased her alcoholic nips, even taking a flask to work. Dr. Robert Monday noticed Chris’ pain and offered to help. She asked for tranquilizers to help her, but he refused, saying they might just become a crutch. Chris then accused him of not being a friend. Susan set Chris up again to appear uncooperative, widening the breech between Max and Chris. Larry confronted Chris about finding another job, refusing to believe Chris and Max maintain a professional attitude at the office. When Chris admitted she had no intention of finding another job Larry arranged to see Sandra. Sandra, however, told him she only wanted him in an honest relationship and if he was feeling quilty and wanted someone to dump it on, he could go back to Chris. Larry ran into Maria at Sandra’s apartment and offered to help. At work, Susan Prichett discovered Chris’ flask and subtly encouraged Chris to drink, resulting in Chris making mistakes that aggravated Max, culminating in his finding her drunk at the end of the day. He drove her home where she made several alcoholic attempts to seduce him, adding to his disgust. Larry arrived home to find Chris in Max’s arms through no fault of Max’s, adding to Larry’s suspicions. Chris swore to stop drinking, but when Sandra called from Maria’s to ask Larry’s help, Chris didn’t listen to Larry’s explanation, and took a drink before going to work. When she couldn’t reach Larry after work, Chris felt things were back where they were before the divorce. Larry arrived home to find Chris drunk and he called Sandra to come verify his whereabouts. Lori was disgusted at seeing Chris drunk. Chris wouldn’t listen but wished she could believe. She left. Larry withdrew his help from Maria to assuage Chris. Bored, restless, and unable to bend about her feelings for Larry, Monica Courtland succumbed to the persistent charms of Robert Monday. Max warned Robert that he wouldn’t tolerate Robert’s establishing a personal relationship with patients until Robert pointed out that Max had one with Joan Willis. Love Of Life Written by: Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer Produced by: Jean Arley Rick Latimer was very broken up when Kate told him she was going to marry Dr. Ted Chandler and move and Monterey, California, but tried to pass it off as a business disappointment when Meg sensed his feeling for Kate. Rick knew the way to keep Meg and her $200.000 interested in Beaver Ridge Lodge project was to keep her happy emotionally. After insisting that Beatrice, Kate’s mother, come to California with them, Ted and Kate were married in Mayor Bruce Sterling’s office by Bruce in a simple but beautiful ceremony. Meg wanted to keep her personal relationship with Rick a secret because she was afraid Van would use it against her. Rick let Meg have her way when she disapproved of the interior sketches for the lodge and he gave her a free hand at decoration when she said she intended to use her own money, not the $200.000 she was giving him, even consenting to have her mother, Sarah Caldwell, fill the dining room with live green plants. At Arlene’s insistence, Ben tried once again to ask Meg for the $500.000 she promised to give him as a wedding present on the day he married Betsy Crawford to buy a house, a car and a stock the pro shop at the lodge. Meg said that he could start anytime and she’d pay the bills, but he’d not get his $500.000 until his wedding day. Ben was very uncomfortable when Betsy read him a letter from her father praising his integrity. Betsy questioned the advisability of giving them $500.000 because they hadn’t earned it and she wanted Ben to stand on his own. Meg said she looked on it as a freedom, not an obligation. Ben decided he had to divorce Arlene “temporarily” because marrying Betsy was the only way he would see this money, but Arlene wanted $10.000 as an incentive to share Ben with Betsy and advised him to get it from Rick before she talked. Rick told Arlene that this had better not be blackmail after Ben confessed his marriage to Arlene and his desire to do anything for ½ million dollars, giving Rick one month after his marriage to complete the Beaver Ridge project before Mg went to pieces over his running off with Arlene. Betsy had found a stone cottage that she had fallen in love with. At the same time, Arlene had found and furnished an apartment in silver, mauve and fur. Ben thought it was ridiculous to spend so much effort and money since they would be leaving in about 6 weeks because Betsy’s parents were coming home early. She told him everything was movable, but the bed – and that moved. – Rick asked Ben how he could have gotten everything so messed up when he could have been such a good con man. Cal was upset over David’s mental relapse, but Van and Bruce assured her that David could be stronger when he was well for having dealt with his feelings about his father. David feared rejection from Cal and told Dr. Bryson that she was his only reason for getting well. He already feared Cal would find someone else and Meg furthered this fear when she finally visited him. Meg, Van and Bruce all agreed Cal should take a vacation and Cal was going to take her grandmother with her until Dr. Bryson called asking Cal to reassured David after her mother’s visit. Cal had to assure David that she had no desire to date anyone else after Meg had planted the idea that Cal might get bored waiting for him. Meg asked Rick to offer Cal the granary so that she would be away from Van. Cal was suspicious, but Rick assured her that Meg had nothing to do with it and she promised to consider the offer.

They decided that Johnny had to apologize before they could give in to him, which he finally did. Di, a social worker, had a 42-year-old pregnant woman as a patient who couldn’t get over her fear of having a first child at this age. She claimed she and Di were too old to have children, so Di told Jamie she didn’t want to wait to have children. Di saw Dr. Bryson at Van and Jamie’s request and decided that if Jamie was willing to have a child, then they should before the risk got greated. Charles walked in as Van was telling Di she hoped Di didn’t want a baby to hold onto Jamie and Charles insisted that Di was out of her mind to let Jamie talk her into this. Unable to convince Di, Charles deided to go to Jamie. Felicia started planting seeds of doubt in Charles’ mind about keeping Sarah as a housekeeper because her family might need her. Felicia’s headaches got worse but she refused to go back to Dr. Bryson because she felt he would suggest that she stop seeing Charles because her former lover, whose death drew her into therapy in the beginning, was also an older man. Felicia blew up at Sarah accusing Sarah of resenting the time Charles spent with her, but then begged forgivenesse. Sarah realized who was behing Charles letting her go. Felicia flew into a rage and called Dr. Bryson for help when Charles attempted to make love to her and she then became upset with Dr. Bryson, rejecting therapy when he asked her who Charles reminded her of when she became aggressive.

Matt McAllister had called for Jim Craig, Victor’s doctor, but since he was out of town, Larry Wolek, Victor’s son-in-law came over. Dorian had ordered an ambulance from Richmond Memorial Hospital where she was on staff since her dismissal from Llanview Hospital. Larry, Joe and Viki all rushed there. Larry assured Viki that Dorian had given Victor excellent care. Matt, Victor’s protégé, was afraid Victor would die before his (Matt’s) ambitions were filled. Viki felt this was her fault since she argued with Victor about Joe and feared that Dorian would let him die since he was the major contributor to the hospital that dismissed her. When the ambulance arrived, Dorian had to tell Larry that only she could go with Victor since she was not on staff at Richmond. When Victor came around, Dorian assured him that he would live and when Jim arrived he was satisfied with Dorian’s care, but was not satisfied that she didn’t call his partner when he couldn’t be reached since Victor was his patient. Dorian claimed she was only trying to save Victor, but Dorian and Matt were both counting on Victor as their ladder to success. Dorian asked Matt’s help since Jim wanted to move Victor to Llanview Hospital in a couple of days and then he’d be out of her hands. Being truthful and straight would get anyone on Victor’s good side and Dorian used this, not backing down when she gave an order. Victor used the move to Llanview to show how much power he had. He knew Dorian was using him and told her he’d think it over whether he wanted moved since she had promised him he could go home quickly and Jim had threatened a long confinement since he disobeyed last time. Finally, Victor said he’d go to Llanview which was more convenient for Jim, but only on the condition that Dorian go along. When Jim said this was impossible, Victor threatened re-evaluation of his funding of Llanview if he was refused. The Llanview Hospital medical board conceded that Dorian might treat Victor and only Victor, but she felt this was the first step. Although Victor approved of Dorian’s relationship with Matt, she had too many scores to settle to become involved. Timmy Siegel was quitting law school with only 6 months to go.

Eileen was trying to get Joe and Jim to use some of her trust fund to help Ben Farmer, her lover, start an advertising business. Besides not liking Ben, they felt the business venture unwise. Her daughter Julie was making life miserable by suggesting that Ben was only interested in her money. Ben had finally landed a client, so Eileen asked Viki’s help, but Viki advised her to decide if she loved Ben first and then see if that was altering her judgement. Julie visited Ben telling him to stay away from her mother. Eileen visited Ben knowing and afraid he would ask about the money and became very upset when he mentioned Julie’s visit. She was ready to help by offering her house as an office, but left crying when Ben wanted capital. After another fight with her mother, Julie decided to move out so that if Ben came back, Eileen would have a chance. Timmy became friendly with Jenny, but was bewildered to find she was a nun when he asked for a date and shifted his attention to Sheila Raferty, a new nurse. Sheila was jealous of Tim’s preoccupation with Jenny as Tim felt Jenny was throwing her life away. Tim got a job through Jim doing construction work at the hospital. Pressure was getting Cathy down when she was to give a lecture and her nurse-sitter became ill. When Joe heard this he offered to watch Megan, his daughter. Cathy began to doubt herself, but Steve told her she had never to doubt but that she did the right thing. Julie wondered if Cathy was still interested in Joe when she asked if Viki was pregnant. Joe and Cathy settled their differences over Megan’s care and Jo was allowed to see her whenever he pleased. Jim, Cathy’s father, told Cathy that Dr. Thornby wanted Megan admitted to the hospital for tests so that she could be operated on within a week.

She tried to fool him by putting a robe on over the dress she slept in after drinking herself to sleep. Larry lectured her again about seeing Dr. Polk but she claimed three Hollywood shrinks didn’t help her mother. Then, she refused to accept a call from her mother even though Larry tried to convince her it didn’t have to be because her mother was drinking. Susan claimed her mother drove her to drink and Larry said knowing what caused the problem solved half of it and he’d always be there to help. When Timmy met Susan at the hospital he was sure he knew her. Susan tried to talk to tim before he told anyone that they once spent a weekend together. After a trying evening at the Rib Cage she told Tim she had changed, no longer drank or saw her mother, and really liked Larry and begged him to tell Larry. Search For Tomorrow Written by: Ann Marcus Produced by: Mary-Ellis Bunim Visiting Jennifer in prison, Scott told her he had moved up the hearing date and she had to be good until then. When she went back to her cell, Jennifer looked for the tranquilizers she hid in her pillow and was caught when she became frantic because they were missing. The whole wing was searched when she insisted she lost only a picture and a letter, but ather the search, Marie, another prisoner and Jennifer’s friend, told her she got rid of the pills out of fear Jennifer might use them. Marie was setting up a grievance committee and was warned by Mrs. Jackson, the prison psychologist, against starting trouble. Mrs. Jackson called Jennifer in to tell her that her name would be brought before the parole board meeting in 3 weeks and if she was very good, stayed away from bad crowds and did as she was told, then she could have her baby out of prison. When word got back to the committee that Jennifer wanted to quit they elected new leadership and send Jennifer several threatening messages, letting her know they had ways of hurting people “accidentally.” After visiting Jennifer, Scott started drinking his meals at home and at bars. Jennifer’s father was making good on his threat to ruin Scott’s law practice. Kathy and Scott drew up their own divorce papers, but when Scott told her how much he loved and needed her, Kathy insisted on getting the divorce immediately in the Virgin Islands. Eric, their ward, told Scott he would always love Kathy and hate Jennifer for breaking them up. He asked Ellie if he could live with her if Kathy wouldn’t take him because he would not live with Jennifer. John and Ellie both told Scott he had to get hold of himself. John became very angry when clients he had referred to Scott couldn’t even reach Scott. Eunice decided Doug, Scott’s deceased father, would have wanted her to talk to him. Tony insisted on seeing his chart because he didn’t believe he was being told the truth about his heart condition. When Jo suggested a vacation when he was released from the hospital, Tony told her he thought he was being lied to, that he would never be will and the risk of having another heart attack was great. He called John in to update his will so that Jo would be provided for. Tony was moved to a private room and tried to do too much, convinced he could prove them wrong. When he was released to go tome, Tony was concerned about returning to surgery and about functioning as a husband. Jo finally called psychiatrist Wade Collins asking him to help Tony out of his depression without letting him know. This was just what Wade needed because he was feeling guilt over being a bad son since his father’s recent death because he had put off visits to his father and had taken him for granted. This proved his wife Janet’s theory that doctors were people too. Wade couldn’t help Tony’s depression because Tony had convinced himself that his career was finished even when he was told that although they would like him to take a leave of absence and do research writing, the doctors will let him follow post operative cases for half days. He jumped to the conclusion that he would never operate again, but was told to have a little patience. Stephanie was depressed after he realized she had lost Tony forever through her own greed and with Tony ill, Stephanie was very down. Her daughter Wendy said they Scouts were going on an overnight campout but secretly went to Oakdale to see her father, Dave Wilkins, to see if he could bring Stephane out of her depression.

Learning Steve had decided to leave town, Liza asked him not to go. She realized she was really in love with him and became confused because she didn’t want to hurt Bruce. She told her grandfather Stu Bergman she took back everything she said about his ideas on live being old-fashioned because it was overpowering, intoxicating and wonderful and she had to break up with Bruce. Stu asked her to wait until she had considered it carefully, but Liza couldn’t let Bruce feel she loved him. Bruce refused to believe Liza was serious and by not taking his ring back he didn’t have to accept this. Steve got an apartment and a job with Dave Wilkins. Liza was no longer afraid of a physical commitment and confessed how happy this new love had made her to her mother Janet Collins. Liza decided that Bruce had to accept reality and insisted he take his ring and understood their future didn’t include marriage. Feeling he was in the right, Bruce went to tell Steve that he wouldn’t let Liza get hurt and that everything was fine until he came alone. Bruce was telling Steve that he wouldn’t let him take Liza through his hippy hitchhiking way of life when Liza walked in. Bruce wanted to take Liza home, but she refused, telling Bruce that she was responsible for her own life and he had to let her make her own decisions. Janet was concerned that Liza was rushing into this especially when she found Liza was having an affair with Steve and the family didn’t even know him. Liza fixed up Steve’s apartment, cooked dinner and then broke the news that he was to meet her family. He was upset that she didn’t ask him first, but agreed to the dinner plans. Somerset Written by: Robert J. Shaw & Winifred Wolfe / Don Appell, Doris Frankel & Frank Salisbury Produced by: Lyle B. Hill Extermely worried about the anonymous notes she had received saying, “Those who live in sin, die in sin,” Heather was afraid to stay alone in the cabin she shared with Jerry. Jerry tried to reassure Heather by having an old friend and neighbour, Vic Kirby, change the locks. Vic expressed his distate that Heather was living with Jerry outside wedlock. Jerry told Heather she was being too hard on Eve by not telling her of his background, but Heather said her mother deserved her enmity for lack of faith in Jerry. Jerry went to the hospital, with Heather’s blessing, to accept a staff position from Stan Kurtz. When he arrived at Stan’s office, he overheard Eve expressing outrage that everyone knew about Jerry except her. Jerry stepped in, arranged a meeting and told Eve the whole story about Wendy and why he left medicine. The New York police still hadn’t found Wendy’s murderer. Eve was pleased with Jerry’s telling her, but had persistent uneasiness about him. When Eve realized that Jerry was in love with Heather and they intended to be married, she began plans for a big wedding, despite their expressed wish for a small, simple ceremony, Heather began to receive anonymour phone calls where the person didn’t say anything, and her panic increased when she discovered Vic Kirby had a key made for himself when he changed the lock. She begged Jerry to get the key from Vic. Unaware that they were being recorded by a voice-activated tape recorder hidden high in the cabin rafters, Heather and Jerry planned an immediate elopement. When Scott and Jill dropped by unexpectedly, they were invited to accompany Heather and Jerry who were married in a lovely simple ceremony across the state line. Later that night as Jerry and Heather celebrated their marriage, they received another phone call – “Till death do us apart. Death to Heather.” Jerry made an appointment with Lt. Price and asked Vic for his key, which Vic gave up grudgingly ,saying he has had a key to the cabin since before Jerry was born. Vic went on to express his disapproval of Heather and the marriage. During a hurried lunch, Heather and Jerry told Eve of their wedding, upsetting Eve. Greg thought it was great. Despite her continued misgivings about Jerry, Eve planned a reception for the couple and she and Greg went to the cabin for dinner, and witnessed one of the awful phone calls. Lt. Price wasn’t optimistic. Terri told Stan that the person threatening Heather was deranged, but could be anyone. Concerned about Heather, Julian got involved when it came out Vic’s wife died the previous year embittering him, and Vic had a key to the cabin. Julian interviewed Vic and was upset by Vic’s attitude towards Heather. When Ned, Eve’s lover, asked if the reason she was spending so much energy on wedding plans for Heather, was because she wanted a wedding of her own, Eve assured him she was satisfied with the status quo, so he hinted that she was still keeping herself free for Julian. Eve disabused him of that idea, later admitting to herself that Ned was right because she would always love Julian. Eve decided as a wedding present, she would give Jerry and Heather a completely furnished expensive apartment. Ned told her they would hate it because it wouldn’t be theirs, upsetting Eve. A new cub reporter on the paper, Carrie Wheeler, complained to Julian, that her talents as a reporter were being wasted on society news and she asked for an assignment she created which infringed on Greg’s beat. Julian turned her down, saying it was important to her experience to do society news, so Carrie went to Kate who, when she learned of Julian’s decision, backed Julian and upbraided Carrie for trying to play them against each other. Carrie harbored jealous, hurt feelings against Greg. Ginger Cooper then began to play matchmaker, since Jill appeared out of the picture for Greg. Skipper MacKenzie saw Ellen as his step-mother, not Jill. Skipper was released from the hospital. Ellen asked Jill to consider the idea that her attraction to Scott might be to a father figure, since Ben and Scott shared many qualities. Jill accused Ellen of using that as an excuse because she wanted Scott for herself, but when Scott received an offer form Eastern University that he couldn’t turn down and asked Jill to marry him, Jill turned him down, saying it was too soon after her husband Mitch’s death for her to make such a commitment. Jill apologized to Ellen and realized she still had a strong attraction to Greg. Kate was entranced by the idea of bearing Julian’s child, telling Tom Conway that having a child was the ultimate fulfilment for a woman. Tom scorned motherhood, especially for Kate, pointing out that Julian would insist she give up her job and its social position and amenities and that babies were hard work. Kate mentioned a baby nurse, and Tom said Julian would never hear of that. Knowing Tom was right, Kate was torn when she thought she was pregnant. When her pregnancy was confirmed, Tom’s worst predictions began to come true when a delighted Julian said she could quit her job and everything else and concentrate on their baby. Kate told him to stop being oversolicitous. The Young And The Restless Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: John Conboy Snapper was very uptight thinking about the letter from his father who was requesting a visit after he deserted the family 9 years ago. Chris, his wife, came across the typed letter from Chicago with no return address and thinking it might be Sallyn the mother of Snapper’s one, opened it. Chris assumed that Snapper would contact his father, but Snapper told her to forget it. Finally Snapper decided to tell his mother Liz but when he found that Sam Powers had finally brought a smile to her face after 9 lonely years, he tore up the letter vowing that his mother would not be hurt. Gwen Sherman had donated the money she made as a prostitute to an orphanage run by Sister Theresa, a Mexican run, and was also donating her time. After Greg told Gwen how much in need of money they were, Gwen persuaded an old “customer” who gave her a hard time at the restaurant where she worked to help by telling Sister Theresa in his presence how happy he would be to write them a check. Gwen asked Sister Theresa if, with her past, it was possible to become a nun and she received the answer she wanted. Greg called the Allegro for Gwen and was told that she had left to become a nun. He went to the orphanage to say goodbye and wished her well. When Chris saw Greg ask the Sisters to pray for his father, she could ne longer keep Snapper’s secret. Greg pushed her for information and she thought she remembered the letterhead saying “Regis”. Greg called but found out that his father had never been registered and rooms started at $75 and hung up before the heard the clerk say they were sometimes confused with the “Regent.” Liz cancelled a dinner with Sam when she rememberd it was her wedding anniversary, but Sam convinced her that she had to live for the present and she went out, much to Greg’s regret. Greg told Snapper he knew about the letter and would find out what was going on at the Regis and then told his mother. Snapper realized he was contacting the wrong hotel. Kay Chancellor’s luncheon for Jill her companion and Liz was successful in that it made Liz feel sorry for her, but it had convinced Phillip, Kay’s husband, that she was well enough to be asked for a divorce. When Kay asked her son, Brock, how God decided who received when two good people wanted the same thing, he replied: “The most deserving one.” Kay told Jill that she thought Phillip was planning something special for her when she was well. Phillip asked Jill to dinner not giving her time to go home to change. Kay used the opportunity to make Jill feel guilty when she fussed, insisting that Jill wear one of her dresses. Phillip and Jill both agreed that she could no longer remain in Kay’s employ and Phillip insisted on supporting her. Jill asked to quit immediately, but Kay persuaded her to give 2 weeks notice hoping that would be enough time to avert the divorce she was sure Phillip would ask for. Phillip and Jill wondered where Kay could have gone on her own when she visited Liz at the factory to tell her Jill had quit and to ask her help as she was sure Liz knew about Jill and Phillip. Liz tried to convince Jill that she couldn’t build a happy marriage on another woman’s misery. Kay realized she had to move quickly if she was going to keep Phillip. She offered Jill something her mother couldn’t give her – a college education at a good eastern school. Lorie was 3 months being in her rent, her father Stuart had disowned her, so she asked Phillip Chancellor for a loan and a job, but told him not to feel obligated because she saw him with Jill. All of Jennifer’s daughters were concerned about her: two hoping she would make the right decision – although they differed on what that was – and two wondering what was bothering her. No knowing that Dr. Bruce Henderson was the reason Jennifer had to get away, Stuart called him unadvertently giving Bruce the information he wanted – Jennifer’s destination – Key Biscayne, Florida. Lorie showed up at Leslie’s apartment thinking Leslie would have joined their mother in Florida and she would have Brad, Leslie’s husband, to herself. Lorie felt that at almost fifty their mother was old enough to make her own mind. Mark, Bruce’s son, tried to make Stuart aware that he should convince Jennifer how much he needed her without coming out with the truth. Bruce called Jennifer from the lobby saying he would leave if she wanted him to, but she invited him up telling him that she was terribly lonely, but hadn’t made up her mind and wouldn’t go home until she did. After spending several days with Bruce, she decided to ask Stuart for a divorce and she and Bruce would but a piece of land and he could practice in Florida. Lorie had called Mark saying she wanted to discuss his father and her mother, making him break a date with her sister Peggy. Mark found that Lorie was in favor of the divorce and asked if it wasn’t because she resented her father’s favoritism of Leslie and wanted to get back at him. On a hunch, Peggy went to Lorie’s and when she found Mark there, broke down cyring and rushed out convinced that Lorie was trying to steal Mark from her. Mark went to see Peggy, but unable to get her to trust him he had to tell her about his father and her mother. When Leslie couldn’t reach her mother by phone and then found out Dr. Henderson was still registered at the hotel she decided to fly to Florida, but was stopped by Lorie, who received a call saying Jennifer wanted to meet with all the girls at 3:00 at the house, but had told Stuart she would be home, in the evening. Jennifer told the girls she had spent her life denying herself love for their sake and hoped they would understand when she asked Stuart a divorce. Stuart told Brad that he had been thinking wile Jennifer had been away and wanted Brad to take over more responsibility so that he could fill the void in Jennifer’s life as the girls had left by growing up and, he added, he was becoming fatigued. He had made arrangements to take Jennifer on a much wanted trip to Europe for a month. Brad detained him when he wanted to go home early, and later Brad and Sam Powers found Stuart lying unconscious on his office floor. Brad massaged Stuart’s heart on the way to the hospital saving his life. Snapper asked Brad how he knew what to do but Brad told him to forget it. Peggy broke down at the hospital refusing to stay in the house with her mother, so Lorie would take care of her. At the house, Leslie gave her mother the airline tickets to Europe and Jennifer was explaining that you couldn’t buy love when Brad called asking them to return to the hospital when Stuart suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Brad injected adrenalin and massaged Stuart’s heart until it resumed functioning on its own. Brad said, “Nice work Docotor,” to Snapper who replied, “That’s what I was going to say, DOCTOR!”

You might be right ! I love them all.

That is terrific ! If they had brought Eileen Fulton too, I would have been in heaven

After reading the summary, I really enjoyed watching this episode. The music is very outdated I think but the female characters of Augusta and Diana seem so interesting !

No idea yet. We will see in the upcoming months I guess. Lorie seemed to be in a transition after Brad and Leslie’s wedding.

Yes Bailey created the show but she didn’t stay very long as Rick Edelstein was head writer a few months and then Margaret De Priest until the end. Afterwards, she replaced Labine and Mayer at LOL when they went to create Ryan’s Hope.

FEBRUARY 1975 All My Children Written by : Agnes Nixon Produced by : Bud Kloss When Tara's son, little Phillip, required surgery following an accidental fall from a tree-house, Phil was happy to donate blood upon learning his namesake had the same rare B- blood that he had. Until learning Phillip's blood type, Tara was the only other known donor. Phil was astounded to learn that when a child and a mother shared this rare B- blood type it was almost inevitable that the father had the same type. He began to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Everyone had admitted that Tara was pregnant when she married Chuck, but nobody said that it was Chuck's baby - Tara and Phil married themselves years ago before he left for VietNam. Then when he was reported dead and she found herself pregnant, she married Chuck Tyler to give her son a legal father. - Little Phillip survived the spleenectomy, but while his condition was critical Phil watched Chuck comforting Tara and realized that in crisis, Chuck and Tara were like one - Chuck was her strength and virtually her life. However, when Tara's grandmother Kate told Phil that the baby was born on December 21st four years ago, Phil triumphantly admitted to himself he knew it all the time. He came right out and asked his mother Ruth if little Phillip was his son. Ruth tried to evade the question, but Phillip persisted saying he had to hear the answer from her. He wanted to protect little Phillip and realized Chuck and Tara needed each other but had to know as it would prove that Tara did not set aside her love for him as easily as he had thought she did. He could then accept not having Tara and his son if he knew the truth. After Phil promised her he would not tell another living soul, Ruth, in tears of agony, told Phil that little Phillip was his son. Phil and Ruth discussed the baby's security and Phil promised he'd never claim the child or destroy the security he had with Chuck and Tara. Indeed when Tara and Chuck dropped by to visit him, Phil managed to conceal what he had learned remembering Ruth's warning that the baby's future was on the line. Chuck and Tara feared that Phil might put the pieces of the blood type puzzle together and watched for any sign that he might know but decided that he did't. Ruth warned Phil about becoming overly preoccupied with little Phillip, but Phil replied he loved his son and would give his life for him and just wanted to get to know him. Ruth feared the overabundance of energy Phil was turning towards the boy might reveal that he knew the truth. Little Phillip recovered and was released. Meanwhile, Phil's wife Erica, at Oakhaven Sanitarium for an emotional breakdown evolving from a recent miscarriage which she couldn’t emotionally accept, was undergoing shock treatment as she had shown no improvement at all. Having recently returned from a world cruise, Phoebe was shocked to realize that her husband Charles' friendship with his secretary Mona had become closer during her absence. Phoebe was aghast to learn Mona had Christmas dinner at the Tyler home neurotically insisting Mona was insinuating herself into Charles' life and trying to take her place even in her own home. Phoebe's daughter Ann cautioned her that this reaction could indeed drive Charles to Mona, if she wasn't warm and loving she would lose her husband. When Ann warned her father Phoebe was out for Mona's blood, Charles angrily replied Mona's friendship was his most precious possession and he'd fight Phoebe to the end on it. However, Phoebe went on and on about the shoddiness of the relationship implying it was a shabby and embarrassing middle-aged affair, disgusting and infuriating him. Phoebe finally landed the ultimatum - either fire Mona or we could no longer live under the same roof. Incredulous at accidentally learning of Phoebe's ultimatum to Charles, Mona went to Phoebe and informed her she was resigning her job - not because Phoebe's ultimatum was justified but only to make Charles' life a little easier as he was a good friend, something everyone but Phoebe seemed to understand. But upon learning what Mona had done, Charles confided to her his feelings for her had indeed deepened beyond friendship. When Mona interjected they couldn't talk about this Charles replied his life was intolerable and he had to make changes. Linc told Kitty he was falling in love with her. She replied that they were comfortable with each other and always enjoyed being together but she hadn't thought beyond that. Paul was annoyed at the way Margo's daughter Claudette “didn’t lift a jewelled finger” to help around the apartment. She was visiting with them as she had separated from her socialite husband Spencer Montgomery. Margo, who engineered Claudette's marriage to Spencer, was dead set against her daughter throwing away the Montgomery money and social position. Margo admitted she raised Claudette solely to be a wealthy man's wife. Claudette, who made a repeated point of the age difference between Paul and Margo, noticed the scar behind Margo's ear and guessed about her face lift. Margo finally admitted it but warned Claudette that Paul was not to know as it would spoil everything. Claudette promised but when Paul firmly refused to be Claudette's lawyer in the divorce because Margo was against it, Claudette told Margo either Margo convinced Paul to be her lawyer or she would tell Paul about the face lift. With nowhere to turn, Margo asked Paul to represent Claudette saying she lied about visiting Claudette the previous summer, that she went to New York to think things over, hoping her absence would make Paul realize he loved her and wanted to marry her. She explained that since she didn’t visit Spencer and Claudette after all she didn’t understand until then that the marriage really should be ended. Paul forgave Margo for lying about the previous summer but added he hoped this would be the last lie he uncovered. Margo then told Claudette that Paul knew about the facelift, but was angry she lied about it so Claudette was not to mention it to Paul as it would cause tension. She hoped they would never compare notes on this. Unable to live with Phoebe's constant interference, Ann moved into her own apartment. While working for the child-abuse program, COPE, at the hospital, Ann ran into an old friend, Stacy Coles, who brought her 2 year old son, Jamie in for treatment after a tricycle accident. After seeing the child’s injuries and the fear he had for his mother, Ann was convinced the child was a victim of child abuse. Joe was skeptical until Jamie’s x-rays showed previous fractures. He visited the Coleses, a socially prominent family, and asked to check Jamie for what Stacy called his accident-prone nature. She nervously refused but her husband Wyatt, who was upset that everytime he was away on business Jamie had another accident, agreed to discuss it with Joe. Stacy and Wyatt agreed about his heavy work schedule which she acidly pointed out still didn’t provide for her the way her wealthy father did. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Dave was amazed when Carol turned ice cold towards him upon learning he'd agreed to be Mac Cory's best man. Since his relationship with Carol had recently become intimate, it hadn't occured to Dave that Carol was hoping her boss Robert Delaney would reconsider and be Mac's best man. Carol was interested in Robert despite his marriage to Lenore. Lenore was well aware that Carol's interest in Robert was far more than is good for her marriage and admitted to Pat she was also jealous of Carol's independence, as she, Lenore, recently gave up her career to be a housewife in order to save her marriage. Lenore was upset to discover Carol was keeping clothes in the office/apartment and spent nights there and she insisted Robert tell Carol to remove them. Robert, who'd already done this once, made sure Carol removed them immediately. When Vic Hastings suggested Lenore work at home for Frame Enterprises she eagerly accepted, but Robert was furious to learn that she was doing this without consulting him. However Steve made Robert see housework couldn't fulfill Lenore's need to feel independent and if she had to work, it was better if she worked at home than outside the home. However Lenore decided to give it up for Robert's peace of mind. While plans had already been started for a new house for Mac and his fiancee Rachel, Rachel discovered the lovely Tudor Clayton Estate was for sale, a house she passed on her way home from school every day as a child and pretended that she lived there. Seeing what this house meant to Rachel, Mac insisted that they looked at it. Jamie, Rachel's son, adored the house and Mac insisted they were buying it to Rachel's delight. Meanwhile, Iris, Mac's daughter, determined that Rachel, whom she felt was socially inferior, never marry her father, had brought Phillip Wainwright to Bay City. Phillip, having dissipated the Wainwright fortune, worked at compromising young women who were trying to marry into socially prominent famIlles. Iris bought a partnership at the Springview Riding Academy but announced that Phillip was the new owner, supplying a reason for his staying in town. Phillip, chagrined to find that Rachel hadn't succumbed to any of his charming passes, told Iris this might be an impossible task. However Phillip pressed Rachel to let him teach her to ride as a surprise to Mac, and Iris, with her housekeeper, Louise Goddard, laid plans to take compromising pictures of Rachel when she was out riding with Phillip. Ada, Rachel's mother, explained to Mac Rachel didn’t realize how badly she might be hurt by the cold shoulder she would receive if she continued with her plans for a Bay City wedding and convinced him to suggest to Rachel that they marry in New York. Rachel told Mac she could care less about others' attitudes, but if this was what he wanted, she would definiteiy agree. Mac then impulsively asked Rachel to marry him the upcoming weekend at his New York townhouse adding he felt it was best to tell Iris only when it was over. As Dave Gilchrist was about to leave for New York a surgical emergency arose and had to cancel out. Instead of calling Mac's list of alternate best men, Carol called Robert and told him there was a business emergency, he had to fly to New York immediately. Only when he arrived did Carol, the maid of honor, told him he was there to be best man. Carol insisted it was too late to get anyone else and for Mac's sake Robert acted as best man. Rachel and Mac were married by Supreme Court Justice Fred Merrill in a private ceremony, with a large reception following. On her wedding day, Rachel told Carol she was afraid as everything she had dreamed about was coming true, not the material things, but a wonderful man who loved her and wanted to take care of her and to whom she wanted to be a good wife. Mac gave Rachel a beautiful mink coat as a wedding/Valentine's Day present. Rachel was thrilled but asked Mac not to spoil her. Ironically, Phillip, Iris and Louise learned of Mac and Rachel's wedding while waiting for Rachel to arrive for her riding lesson, prepared to take their blackmail photos. Iris was near hysteria and went into seclusion at her house telling Phillip marriages could be broken up as well as engagements, she wouldn't let Rachel keep Daddy. Phillip convinced Iris she would have to pretend to approve the marriage in order to stand a chance of breaking it up. Iris was appalled to overhear at John's office that Mac's will was being revised making Rachel chief beneficiary. Both she and Liz, who had hoped to marry Mac herself, were sure Rachel insisted Mac change his will in her favor, that she married Mac for his money. Liz whose whole life had become an obsession to save Mac from Rachel was encouraged by Iris' assurance she'd find a way to break up this marriage. Iris and Phillip stole a copy of Mac's will from John's office confirming what Iris overheard. Finding the will gone John confronted Iris but she denied taking it. Again Iris accused Rachel of marrying Mac for money and Rachel, disgusted, told Iris she hoped Mac never found out how vicious his daughter was. Mac was furious to find Iris had a copy of the will. He assured her Rachel didn't even know of the changes and added this insane jealousy had irreparably harmed their relationship as father and daughter. Not knowing how to explain it to Lenore, Robert for the next week said nothing about the wedding. But Carol sent him a nautical clock with a note "To the Best Man, a momento of our sharing Mac and Rachel's happiness." Lenore found the note and figured out what has happened. Robert tried to tell Lenore he had no choice but Lenore blamed Carol saying it was what Carol wanted and what Carol wanted - she got. Lenore later told Pat she was sorry she was so hard on Robert but it always made it harder when he invariably defended Carol to her. Robert later admitted to Lenore that Carol tricked him into being Mac's best man, but Lenore pointed out he was wrong in concealing it from her after it was over. She then told him that she, Lenore, had a jealous nature and that that part of it was her fault and that she’d try to change. Having learned from Rachel that Lenore's first husband Walter Curtin died under somewhat mysterious circumstances in an automobile accident, Carol had asked Gil McGowen as well as other Bay City residents about Walter's death and had even questioned Lenore's son by her marriage to Walter, young Wally, this much to office worker Neal Johnson's disgust. Lenore was fur-ious to discover Carol was prying into her past and that she has even questioned Wally about this - Walter Curtin neurotically believed the only way he could hold Lenore's love was with expensive gifts and he became involved with swindler Wayne Addison in a scheme to fleece Walter's close friend Steven Frame. Walter eventually killed Wayne and when Lenore was arrested for the murder, he successfully defended her without revealing it was he who committed the crime. When Lenore later learned the truth Walter's shame drove him from the house and, speeding, his car crashed, killing him. Lenore was determined that no one was ever to know the truth about Walter -. Lenore confronted Carol furiously telling her to stay out of her personal life. Carol managed to twist the conversation to imply Lenore was unreasonable. Lenore, feeling she indeed might be taking things out of proportion, asked Robert for a job in his office explaining she'd feel useful and perhaps less resentful of Carol. Robert suggested a baby could make her feel useful but accepted Lenore's reply that it was unfair to have a child to solve one's problems. Carol visited the newspaper office to collect a dossier on Walter Curtin. As Carol continued to blythly break dates with Dave whenever it was convenient, he finally told her she used men and he'd had it – they were through. Since Vic's obvious feelings for Lenore were a barrier between him and Barbara, she as much as told Lenore she couldn't get anywhere with Vic as long as he continued to have such deep admiration for Lenore. Lenore reminded Barbara Vic's feelings had never been reciprocated. Angela Perrini, the daughter of the McGowen's neighbors, returned home after being laid off from a car plant in Ogden. With Ada's help, Angela was hired to replace Lenore in Steve's office. At Ada's suggestion, Steven's younger brother Willis introduced himself to Angela and they seemed to hit it off quite well. John and Pat's daughter, Marianne was going through a difficult teenage period, resenting her mother's insisting she know Marianne's whereabouts. She felt her parents didn't trust her and found fault with virtually everything Pat said. At Pat's suggestion, Marianne spent time with Alice, Pat's sister, and with her grandparents, all of whom she felt understood her better than Pat did. Marianne was further upset by any disagreements Pat and John might have. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore After a night of pain, John chaffed at Bob that nobody except Kim, his wife, ever visited him, Susan arrived and encouraged John to curry Kim's sympathy as the only way to keep her. Susan had decided to stay in Oakdale. Meanwhile, Kim told her sister Jennifer that she hated to whine about her promise to stick with John, but she was having trouble accepting her own decision. Jennifer reminded her she had a way out - leave John. Noticing an attraction between Kim and his doctor, Dan - Susan's ex-husband -, John used every opportunity to needle Dan about finding a woman, embarrassing Kim who was trying to keep her feelings for Dan in check. In front of Ellen, Dan's mother, Kim asked Dan how long John's recovery would take. If all went well, he said 3 to 4 months, but if not, John would require a bone graft and recovery would be extended. Kim was overwhelmed, and Ellen noticed the attraction between Kim and Dan as he tried to comfort her. Betsy asked Kim to attend an open-house at school because Dan couldn't. Put that way, Kim couldn't refuse, and when Betsy told Dan that Kim would attend, he said he'd try to be there too. David told Dan he'd noticed a new vibrancy in him lately and when he started to ask why, Dan told David he was not free to discuss it because others are involved. John's continual reference to their future together irritated Kim and finally she reminded John that their agreement was that she'd stay only until he recovered. He tried to back off, but Kim wouldn't allow it. He warned he'd fight for her Tom told his mother, Lisa, that he thought Carol, his estranged wife, was a wonderful girl, cheering Lisa, but she was crestfallen when he went on that although he didn't like Jay Stallings, he was glad Carol had someone. Tom was growing closer to Natalie Bannon. Her medical tests showed a liver dysfunction and Bob wanted to begin treatment immediately, but she refused and made him promise not to tell anyone. Carol received notice of the date of their divorce hearing and went to see Chris Hughes to ask if it was too late to call off the divorce. Chris told her it was not. Jay tried to cement his relationship with Carol but she told him they'd never be more than friends. Carol called Tom and arranged to have him over for dinner. She began the evening by admitting she started most of their arguments. He assumed part of the blame but added the divorce was a good idea because people who were once in love could have things go wrong that ruin a relationship. Carol feigned a headache and Tom left. She then broke down in tears. Tom was aware that Carol was suggesting a reconciliation, but he was too involved with Natalie. The following morning, Jay was talking with Lisa about breaking his lease when Carol arrived for work. He saw something in her demeanor and broke off the discussion. Carol tried to quit her job, but Lisa wouldn't let her. Tom decided to move in with his grandparents to help assuage their feelings about the divorce. Natalie said she understood. She had another "attack” and finally allowed Bob to begin treatment, in secrecy. Tom let Jay Stallings know he didn't think Jay was good enough for Carol. Carol admitted to Jay that her marriage was over because Tom wanted it that way and accepted Jay's invitation to dinner. When David Stewart went to see Joyce Coleman about a missing report, she insisted it was with the tests she sent him. He asked her to look and when she found it, he said one little mistake wasn't “fatal.” But Joyce went to pieces. She had also gotten sleeping pills from Bob to help her over her nightmares. Bob and Grant, her estranged husband, tried to get Joyce to see a psychiatrist about the lingering guilt over the accident she had last fall when she killed a man who'd stepped from between parked cars. After talking things over with Susan, Joyce decided things weren't so bad after all and theorized if she went to a psychiatrist, Grant might think something was wrong with her. Susan left and Joyce decided to go to see Grant, unaware that Grant and Lisa had reconciled and were having dinner in Grant's apartment. Joyce was devastated when Lisa opens the door. She murmured “So that's how it is,” and stumbled out. When Joyce didn't show up for work the next morning, David started a search for her. Grant finally received a call from the police that Joyce was there. She stumbled into the police department and made a confession that she deliberately killed that man the previous October explaining she did know him after all. Lisa swallowed her feelings about Joyce and stood by Grant. Joyce refused to see anyone, but finally asked to see Chris, asking advice on how to fire her court-appointed lawyer. Chris told her that since she wouldn't hire her own lawyer, the court appointed one to protect her. Joyce didn't like all the lawyer's questions, but Chris said she owed it to herself to tell the whole story. Joyce said she didn't owe anybody anything. Prosecutor Dick Martin, an old friend of Lisa's, was back in town and met with Grant about Joyce's case because she was refusing a not guilty plea on any charge. Grant said he had already seen Joyce to explain she might face Murder I if she didn't take her lawyer's advice. Joyce did fire her lawyer and asked Grant to take the case. He was torn. Susan finally went to see Emmy. When Dan arrived, Susan said she'd visit Emmy only when he was not around. Jennifer continued in remission. Days Of Our Lives Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: Betty Corday Having discovered her fiancee, Dr. Neil Curtis, the night before their wedding with a negligeed young woman, Amanda Howard left a suicide note at Julie’s lake house and disappeared. An all night search was conducted by friends and the police and finally Dr. Greg Peters found Amanda unconscious in a wood shed. Everyone was relieved that she attempted to save her life by seeking shelter and upon regaining consciousness, Amanda confessed that at the last minute she realized she did very much want to go on to live. Amanda's feet were badly frost bitten but painstaking treatment paid off and there was no tissue damage. Amanda refused to see or discuss Neil saying she hated him and it was all over. Greg was very upset when Amanda finally admitted to him she wouldn't see Neil as she was afraid she would go right back to him, that she did still love him. Both Neil and Laura felt Greg was verprotective of Amanda and Neil wondered why Greg had assumed so much authority where Amanda was concerned. When Laura told Amanda she had to face Neil she agreed but when he begged for her forgiveness she refused to listen. She coldly said she was returning his engagement ring and bitterly asked how much he filled in her wedding gift, the blank check, for, how much it cost her to almost marry him. He replied that he forgot the check and he'd see that it was returned to her. Amanda told Laura there was nothing to be gained in listening to Neil's side, she was through with him and with all emotional involvements. Susan, Greg's wife, bitterly told his brother Eric that Greg's priorities placed Amanda far ahead of her and their daughter Ann. Maggie was terribly depressed that there was still no feelings in her legs following the preliminary surgery to help her regain the ability to walk – she has been paralyzed since her teens ago - but had agreed to one last set of X-rays. Maggie and her husband Marty - Mickey Horton who had assumed the identity of Marty Hansen following amnesia after open heart surgery almost 2 years ago - were shocked when Drs. Tom and Bill Horton, Mickey's father and brother, found a tumor on Maggie’s spine and realized surgery was necessary as it could possibly be malignant. Maggie was devastated but when she realized Marty was under even greater strain than she was, she calmed down and after a talk with Bill, who would perform the surgery, she agreed to go ahead. At Maggie's request, Michael was sent for and was with Marty during the surgery. So absorbed in fear and tension Marty didn’t even realize he called Tom Dad - but Michael and Tom were well aware of it. Phyllis Anderson, trying to reach her ex-husband Bob, happened to call during the search for Amanda and learned only that Bob was staying at his club in town and that Neil was at the lake all night. She informed Bob Julie might be ill as her doctor was there. Bob rushed to the lake and learned about Amanda. He told Julie he loved her and pleaded with her to reconsider their separation. However, he was angry to find Don Craig there – Don was helping in the search - and another ugly scene prompted by his uncontrollable jealousy ensued. Julie was virtually nauseated by Bob's jealousy, at this moment she loathed him for wallowing in his jealousy rather than thinking of Amanda. Bob told Tom he knew his jealousy was destroying his marriage, but he just couldn't help it. He later returned to his club. Persuaded by his grandmother Alice that attempting to live platonically with Trish Clayton would be bad both for their reputations and their nerves, young Mike Horton moved in the middle of the night to his grandmother's home. However, Bill, Mike's stepfather - Bill recently married Laura after her divorce from Mickey/Marty - visited Jack Clayton to talk stepfather to stepfather realizing too late that Jack knew nothing about Mike's living with Trish. Jack vented his spleen over the situation at Jeri, Trish's mother, saying he hoped Trish charged more than Jeri did. After continued insults Jeri hysterically slapped his face and when Jack threatened to tell Trish all about Jeri’s past for Trish’s own good, Jerri said she'd kill him and walked out. Jack rushed to Trish's apartment and seemed angry to find Mike not there. As he was strong-arming Trish, saying like all mother like daughter, Michael walked in and sarcastically informed Jack that he slept at his grand-mother's. As Jack tried to push Michael into a fight Jeri walked in. Realizing from Mike's remarks that Jack had been coming on too strongly with Trish, Jeri privately told him she was leaving him. He replied if she did he would tell Trish her mother was a call girl. Michael furiously told Laura that BIII had messed up his llfe by going to Jack and that he was moving back into Trish's apartment to protect Trish. In agony Jeri confided to Doug that Trish's father walked out on her when she got pregnant and when Trish was born Jeri got sick and couldn't sing. Broke and desperate, she became a call girl - that's how she met Jack - and he was threatening to tell Trish. Julie, resting at Doug's Place following the harrowing episode with Amanda, overheard this and consoled an embarrassed Jeri by saying she herself did all kinds of things the year after she gave her son away, that she could understand desperation. Julie reminded Jeri that she gave Trish the most important thing a child can have - love. Unable to tell Trish the truth, Jeri was considering leaving town to avoid all confrontation. Doug later told Julie how proud he was of the woman she was, helping Amanda, helping Jeri and being compassionate. He added if she had decided about her divorce from Bob, he, Doug, wanted to marry her. Julie was unbelievably happy at a second chance at happiness with Doug whom she had loved for so long. But feeling slightly under par, she had Neil give her a check-up. She was horrified when he told her she was 2 months pregnant. Her bitterness at being pregnant with the wrong man’s child caused her to lash out angrily at Alice who had brought Doug’s daughter, Hope out for a visit – Hope was Doug’s child by Addie, Julie’s mother, who recently died -. Julie, deciding her marriage was impossible and her future was Doug, told Neil she wanted to arrange an abortion but he insisted she think it over for a few days. Her resolve shaken, Julie prayed in the hospital chapel for Maggie’s life and for guidance in her own. She was stunned when Alice told her she had guessed Julie was pregnant and considering abortion and begged her not to do this. Julie tearfully replied she had to but didn’t know if she could. When Neil mentioned to Phyllis his stockbroker had threatened to sell him out if he couldn’t cover his last margin call, she gave him a check insisting it was a straight business loan with interest. Neil told her he was deeply touched but he couldn’t accept a loan from a patient and tore up the check. The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock Produced by: Joseph Stuart As plans proceeded for Dr. Alan and Toni’s wedding on Valentine's Day Alan learned that his former military chaplain, Reverand Joe Turner, who had recently accepted the position as Hope Memorial's chaplain, would perform the ceremony. But plans were being made in far off Singapore which might affect the happiness of Toni and Alan's life together. While Mike, who survived the explosion at sea, tried to decide whether or not to contact his wife Toni, who believed he was dead, nurse Dawn Eddington deeply in love with Mike, objected to the interference of Dr. Lee Chaing, her adopted brother, and sent him away when she felt Lee had thwarted her plans to live with Mike. Mike, not able to bear being the cause of friction between the two people to whom he owed his very Iffe, promised Lee he would not live with Dawn. He asked her to understand his feelings too, while he attempted to forget his love for Toni. He needed time to develop a new love for this young nurse who so tenderly cared for him through the months of his facial restoration surgery. The long awaited day of Toni and Alan's wedding arrived and everyone except young Greta, Dr. Matt and Maggie Powers' daughter, who was to be a bridesmaid, was jubilant. Greta, haunted and obsessed by the brief meeting with a stranger who spoke to her with Mike's voice - she didn't recognize her brother because of his new face - believed devoutly that the limping man was a survivor of the ship disaster and Mike's sprit had somehow entered his body. The pressures of her inner conflict to in some way prevented Toni's remarriage caused Greta to faint while the lovely and moving ceremony was in progress. Later that night, after the newlyweds departed for an idyllic honeymoon in Hawaii where Alan's parents lived, Maggie interrupted Greta, clutching baby Michael - Mike was unaware he left Toni pregnant when he ran away to sea - absorbed completely in her own seance ritual attempting to contact her brother's spirit. Maggle fearing her daughter might be emotionally disturbed, contacted the hospital staff psychiatrist, Dr. Chuck Weldon. Dr. Weldon reviewed Greta's medical history - about a possible reoccurence of a serious emotional state she had suffered from 4 years before - with Dr. Althea and was impressed with Althea's loveliness and intense compassion. Althea, accepting Tom's invitation for a relaxing ski weekend at Stony Mount Lodge, found in her companion a kind and sympathetic ear to her problems about her alienated daughter Penny. Tom bore the scars of his unhappy childhood when his parents' constant quarreling shut him out of their lives. Tom, resenting the intrusion of Dr. Weldon into his and Althea's private plans, felt Weldon should restrict his gathering of Greta's medical history to office hours only. Althea, still worried about malevolent Rex Everlee's control over ailing wealthy Iris Fonteyne, was upset to learn Rex had obtained a new unlisted phone number for Iris, effectively cutting off communication, and forcing Iris to miss her weekly medical check-ups. In a visit to Iris, Althea learned she had developed strange symptoms of shortness of breath and swelling around her mid-torso area in addition to her low-grade fever. Althea privately suspected heart complicatIons and was puzzled about what these new symptoms combined with Iris and her dead husband's prolonged stay in Africa could mean in the final diagnosis. Everlee, who appeared to have professional medical knowledge, had secretly diagnosed Iris' illness as a fatal African virus which insidiously destroyed the heart muscle. Preparing to depart on her return flight to her native Germany, Karen was subjected to a sudden jolt when the airplane skided on the icy runway and she was rushed to the hospital unconscious. It was a seemingly contrite Karen who awoke to find her complete memory restored. All her medical knowledge and the bitter times leading up to the kidnapping of her little son Erich, which ended in the plane crash and her 4 years of amnesia had returned to torment her. Steve and Carolee legally adopted Erich, who miraculously survived the crash, and Carolee had raised Erich as her own child. Although Erich knew he had another mother who died, his love and security was entwined with the only mother he could remember, Carolee. Karen, anxious to reclaim Erich, suggested that when she was released from the hospital where she was recovering from the effects of whiplash from the plane accident, she became friendly with Erich and eventuany told him she was his real mother. Steve and Carolee fearing the effect all this might have on Erich, were still further upset over the possibility that Karen, who had been catching up on the new medical procedures she had missed, had regained her old job back in the hospital clinic. When Matt discovered a dedicated young med student, Andy Anderson, starving because he was unable to finance his medical studies, he arranged with Pete, a local cafe owner, to have the conscientious student sing and play his guitar evenings. Lauri Everson, formerly a professional singer, and her husband, Hank, believed that the talented Andy would develop "Pete's PM" Into a student nurses' after hours hang-out. The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson Martha’s defense attorney, Adam recalled deceitful lawyer, Paul Fairchild, to the stand in a vain attempt to force him to admit that Taffy was actually shot after Martha left the apartment believing that she had murdered Taffy – in a private conversation with the frightened Fairchild, Mrolock admitted he was the one who shot Taffy and threatened him with force if Fairchild didn’t agree to face the charges as an accomplice when Martha was convicted. – Adam had no recourse but to plead with the prosecuting attorney Brandy and DA Ira Paulson for a continuance in the trial so he could prove his theory that Fairchild and Morlock, a known underworld hoodlum, engineered the whole plot to further entrap Police Chief Bill Marceau in order to gain syndicate favors. The only side benefit from Adam's theory about Taffy's missing hair curlers in the police photos of the corpse - Martha insisted Taffy had her hair set when she supposedly killed her - was that Martha, after the long months of feeling responsible for her adopted daughter's mother's death, could feel the personal relief of knowing she didn't kill Taffy after all. Denied the continuance, Adam prepared hls summation for the jury hoping he could persuade them of Martha's innocence. Mike, almost completely recovered from hepatitis, planned to be at Adam's side when court reconvened. Ira, who felt guilty for causing a rift in Adam and Brandy's personal relationship, agreed to go with Brandy to the Karrs’ home and offered the defense the opportunity for Martha to plead guilty and to hopefully obtain a lesser prison sentence - Brandy privately informed Ira she planned to resign as Assistant D.A. as soon as the trial was over. - Adam stubbornly refused to consider their suggestion because he firmly believed in Martha's innocence, but agreed to contact her and present her with this distasteful option. Kevin, deeply involved with reporting the Marceau trial for the newspaper, was surprised and pleased to learn from Geraldine that he was to have a new and prestigious assignment as a world crime correspondent as soon as the trial was over. Kevin was unaware that Geraldine maneuvered the assignment to separate him from Phoebe. He told Phoebe that this trip would be a fantastic honeymoon, but Geraldine, who didn't want Kevin to marry, had her own plans for his future and wasn't pleased at this sudden turn of events. When Joe Pollock, Kevin's editor, told him he had to leave within a week's time to cover an important murder trial in London, Phoebe, unable to commit herself to hasty wedding plans, broke off her relationship with Kevin. Wealthy and sophisticated widow Tiffany Whitney was swept off her feet by charming Noel Douglas' proposal of marriage and told Geraldine she was going to accept no matter what her objections were. Geraldine felt Tiffany didn't really know enough about the background of this disarming man and feared he might be a fortune hunter. Geraldine, further disturbed to learn Tiffany planned to move from the Whitney mansion when she married, feared being left alone to rattle around in this large house. Noel, who secretly payd intimate visits to Tracy Dallas' apartment, had told Tracy his interest in Tiffany is strictly business, and he had convinced Tracy to temporarily pick up his expenses at her brother Johnny's restaurant, the New Moon Cafe. Johnny, double agent for the police and the syndicate, had led this dangerous incognito existence for months, with only a few close people aware of his undercover role. John and Laurie were pleased with the overtures of goodwill from Kay and Vic Lamont. Vic, Laurie's first husband, was the one person who believed in John's worth when he was released from Redstone Prison. It was Vic who found him a job and loaned him the money to purchase the New Moon. When seemingly respectable businessman, Walter LePage, Kay's father, who unknown to everyone was the head of the crime syndicate, learned that Vic and Kay had invited Laurie and John to dinner, he viciously berated John's character. Vic, in defense of the man who once saved his life - Vic was doing undercover work for the police in prison - blurted out the truth about John's double agent role. LePage, furious, contacted Morlock who arranged to have John murdered in an early evening robbery of the cafe so no suspicion would fall on the syndicate. However, it all fackfired, when Vic, who had gone to pick up the Dallases for dinner, realized the crazed robber planned to shoot John. Stepping in front of John, Vic was savagely and senselessly gunned down ! Vic died before his grieving wife Kay could even reach the hospital. LePage, enraged that the intended victim, Dallas, was still alive, ordered Morlock to take care of the matter himself. Because it was the impression of Mike and others that John was the intended victim, they planned to expose John's "cover" hoping to remove all retaliatory threats to his life. John, alone at the New Moon, waited to tell Danny his closest buddy the truth at last, when Morlock arrived to kill John. When Danny's arrival interrupted his murderous plans, the thwarted Morlock viciously lashed out with cruel innuendos about Danny's virtuous wife, Babs, who was mysteriously murdered. Morlock let slip that he knew she went to Floyd Porter's apartment. Danny lunged at Morlock and they had a brief fight before John could separate them and sent Morlock away. Danny who felt a gun strapped to Morlock's body in the struggle was worried and guessed the real truth about Morlock's late night visit so John finally told Danny about his undercover police work. Danny went to Lt. Luke Chandler who was unfortunately too preoccupied about the recent discovery of two bodies who had been identified as Vinnie and Otis, the gunmen who committed the robbery and murder at the New Moon. They were found at the bottom of a gorge after their car crashed on the winding mountain road leading to the stateline. Morlock cleverly arranged for Vinnie and Otis to use that particular car because he had disabled the brakes knowing they would be killed on the road, thus terminating the police investigation. Danny, not getting any immediate satisfaction from Luke, went to face Morlock and somehow forced the truth from him about Babs’ murder and his attempted murder of John. Morlock denied everything and, anxious to get rid of Danny so he could return an important call to LePage, demanded Danny to leave. Danny defiantly searching the room for the gun to prove that Morlock had intended to shoot John, discovered it in Morlock’s bureau, and as Morlock struggled to regain possession of his gun, they tumbled onto the bed, locked in their life and death embrace, and a shot rang out! General Hospital Written by: Bridget & Jerome Dobson Produced by: James Young / Tom Donovan Lee Baldwin, defense attorney for Jessie, who had been accused of the dreadful bludgeon murder of Dr. Phil Brewer, was stunned when Jim's courtroom testimony which everyone counted on to vindicate Jessie had the opposite effect. Instead of admitting he saw Phil dead before Jessie even reached the room, Jim suddenly and unequivocally claimed Phil was alive when he went to meet with him late that night. Audrey, Jim's long suffering wife, was forced to realize that Lee's only hope for saving Jessie now lied in returning Jim to the stand and publicly exposing his incompetent and drunken behavior which led to his dismissal from General Hospital's Cardiac Unit. Lee forced Jim to admit in open court that he had been drinking heavily and actually couldn't remember that night clearly because he had blacked out from his over-indulgence, thus discrediting him as a witness. Jim later cruelly blamed Audrey for his public disgrace and bitter friction developed between them, destroying what little confidence Audrey had in Jim to stop drinking and to find a new job. Audrey's desperation drove her to seek advice from Lee, a former alcoholic. He tried to convince her she couldn't face this problem with Jim alone and should seek help from AL-ANON. Since Jim's callous testimony has damaged Jessie's case, there was little hope that the Preliminary Hearing Judge would dismiss Jessie so she wouldn't have to face a criminal trial in Superior Court for murder. Jessie's friends were very concerned over her resignation to the situation facing her. Jessie, who had become visibly sicker with each passing day, refused to care about her health, appearance, or defense. Lee and Dr. Lesley Williams both suspected Jessie might be trying to protect someone else. They were equally puzzled, however, about the character of a person who would allow Jessie to suffer so much to protect them. When Dr. Steve Hardy finally demanded the truth about Jessie's health, he discovered she had a suspected case of San Joaquin Valley Fever. He was furious that both Leslie and Kira Faulkner who knew that Jessie was gravely ill did not ignore her demands of secrecy and told him immediately. A schism developed in Kira and Steve's relationship when she told him she suffered too deeply from insecurity while married to her unfaithful husband, Cameron, to be able to compete with Steve's love and concern for Audrey, his former wife, and with Jessie, too. Lesley, who had become involved with wealthy fiancier Cam Faulkner since she accepted his generous offer to underwrite the expenses of the Free Medical Clinic, felt caught between her desire to believe in Jessie's innocence and Dr. Joel Stratton, to whom she was deeply attracted and, who had doubts about Jessie. Lesley allowed herself to be influenced by Joel temporarily and, succumbing to his lack of faith, tried to get Jessie to admit guilt and obtain a lesser sentence. Lesley, appalled at her own lack of trust, immediately begged forgiveness from Jessie and later told Joel she felt his influence over her emotions might not always be beneficial to her individuality. Joel was still boiling mad from his discovery that Cam had Joel's life investigated, ostensibly as a routine business procedure before investing in the Free Clinic. When Lesley decided she had to move from Jessie's home to develop her own life-style, Cam helped her rent a quaint English cottage. Upset that Joel refused to make a life-long commitment, Leslie broke off their relationship. Assistant District Attorney Ross Jeanelle, perplexed over the possibility of a missing matched second half to the geode, which the police were holding as the alleged murder weapon, confirmed his suspicions when Lesley explains she and Joel did have matched paper weights. Unknown to everyone Diana Taylor, tormented by memories of the night Phil died, and by Jessie's ordeal, wrestled with her conscience about revealing that she has been hiding the other blood stained half of the geode. Determined to clear Jessie, at whatever cost to herself, Diana went to Jessie's hearing, and as the Judge declared his decision to have Jessie tried for murder, she rose, proclaimed she murdered Phil dramatically producing the real murder weapon. Lab reports showed that hair as well as blood were embedded on the surface of the geode. Chase Murdock, D.A., furious with Ross' apparent bungling of the case, fired him. Jessie released Lee as her attorney, insisting Diana needed him. Lee was upset as Diana had decided to plead guilty and had waived her right to a Preliminary Hearing. Augusta McCloud, who secretly became pregnant with Dr. Peter Taylor's child while he was separated from his wife Diana, decided to have an abortion and free Peter of any obligations to her. At the last moment, struggling against the affects of presurgical anaesthesia, she telephoned Peter who assisted her in convincing the doctors she didn't want to lose her baby after all. Augusta's only desire was to somehow bear the problems of an unwed mother, and for Diana, who couldn’t have more children, to never know the truth about this child. After Diana's shocking revelations in court, Peter told Augusta that although he felt a responsibility for her and the baby, he could only concentrate on his beloved Diana. Jessie admitted to Peter she saw Diana leave the office in a state of shock just before she, Jessie, found Phil's body. Jessie, Phil's former wife, had always felt guilty for his raping Diana and wanted to protect Diana whom she believes did kill Phil from a prison sen-tence. Peter departed stunned, and Jessie, in a sudden violent coughing spasm, collapsed unconscious. Guiding Light Written by: Robert Cenedella Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg A ten year old boy known only as T.J. was found by the police living alone on the streets suffering from malnutrition and ulcerated legs. Admitted to Cedars he refused to eat or allow himself to be touched or treated. Finally Dr. Joe Werner realized the ulcers had to be treated and had T.J. sedated to clean the sores making him even more distrustful. Joe sent his wife Dr. Sara MacIntyre, among others, to try and get through to T.J. and she felt she apparently also struck out. However Louise Johnson, welfare case worker, told Joe that Dr. Maclntrye was the only person who did make an impression on the child and asked Sara be assigned to the case. Sara was reluctant to assume the responsibilities of T.J.'s case as it would require a great deal of time and emotional involvement, but eventually agreed. T.J. told Sara his father split before he was a year old and his mother abandoned him. She used to go off with her boyfriend Harry for days at a time but there was food in the house. However, the last time she never came back and when the food ran out and the rent was due he had to live in the streets. He also added that Harry had hit him with a board. Sara told Louise about T.J.'s background. Louise explained the best they could do was to find a foster home for him realizing he'd probably run away anyway. To please Sara, T.J. allowed his legs to be treated and agreed to eat so the IV tube could be removed. Peggy had lost all faith in Roger after he foolishly put her life and her son Billy's in danger when he got involved with loan sharks. However, Billy, who had grown to love Roger, secretly visited him asking why Peggy told him she would not be seeing Roger anymore. Roger carefully tried not to contradict what Peggy said then went to Peggy pleading that their breakup was hurting Billy. She replied it was her fault for letting Billy get to know and love Roger, who wasn't worth it, and when he asked for another chance she told Roger he blew his chance. Billy blamed Peggy for spoiling everything. Roger's firm was in bankruptcy and he vowed he'd pay back every cent. He was trying to get any type of work he could. Adam meanwhile could no longer afford his nonsalaried job as full time board chairman at Cedars - Adam and Adam's step-daughter Holly Bauer each put up half the money to bail Roger out from the loan sharks. Holly's share came from her inheritance, but Adam had virtually destroyed the investment portfolio upon which he and Barbara lived - . Adam told Ed he had to take consulting jobs as he wouldn't accept a salary from Cedars as the hospital couldn't afford it Janet Norris was finding her job as administrator at Cedars' Outpatient Clinic very rewarding personally as well as easing her financial situation. However her estranged husband Ken tried to get Janet to resign at the clinic and take a legal secretarial job with a friend of his. When she adamantly refused he confided his resentment to his sister Holly who told him Jane was not worth it, reminding him Janet was driving the car when they had the accident which blinded him. Ken suddenly rea]ized that his vision was beginning to spontaneously return. Despite his doctor Ed Bauer's - Holly's husband - admonition that he had to be told if this occured in order to medically aid his vision recovery, Ken concealed this and suddenly told Janet he was a burden on Barbara and Adam and would like to take her up on the offer she made after the accident - he wanted to return to their house. Janet was stunned at this request and told Ken she had to think about it. Dr. Tim Ryan told Bert Bauer that pregnant Pam Chandler had underlying kidney disease condition and they had to take her baby prematurely to make sure she lived, as she was toxemic and ran the risk of fulminating eclampsia which could be fatal. Tim grew increasingly upset as he couldn't convince Pam she was risking her life. When Pam developed exaggerated reflexes, hyperflexia, Tim, did an amniotic tap determining the baby's chances of survival were 25 percent. Pam still refused to allow surgery saying that was not good enough. Tim asked Dr. Ed Bauer to obtain a court order to do the surgery over Pam's objections but Ed made it clear that this could only be done when a patient was not conscious. Tim's roommate, Ed Bauer and Dr. Jackson told him his emotional involvement in this case meant he had lost his objectivity and unless he could get a grip on himself he would be removed from it. Agitated to learn Pam's hands had been trembling for 2 days, a final symptom before eclampsia, Tim again tried to pressure Pam into surgery and again demanded Ed apply for a court order. Steve suggested anticonvulsant treatment materials be kept secretly in Pam's room but warned Tim no surgical decision in Pam's case was to he made without concurrance from a senior surgeon. Steve and Ed privately agreed Tim was too subjective to be allowed to operate on Pam. However when Pam collapsed in eclampsia Tim immediately ordered an OR and assembled his surgical team. He told the OR charge nurse he had verbal surgical consent from Pam - thus deterring him from calling Steve - and performed a brilliant caesarean on Pam. Her baby, a girl, however, weighed only 3 pounds and had an Apgar Score of only 3 indicating survival was doubtful. There was also a possibility of Hyalene Membrane disease. Ed and Steve learned of the surgery just as Tim was finishing and notified him he was under suspension for deliberately violating direct instructions and procedures pending an investigation of this matter. How To Survive A Marriage Written by: Margaret DePriest Produced by: Peter Engel Monica Courtland became so insulting when Chris told her mother that she was going to remarry Larry Kirby that Chris asked her to leave, but she found no relief when she went to Noah's Ark because J.B., the owner, told Monica that life was too short to waste it running the lives of others. Larry and Chris continued to have small spats, but Chris was determined to see this through even though Larry constantly tried to assert what he felt was male superiority. Chris was also having trouble with Susan Pritchett, the office nurse, but was developing the ability to survive Susan's caustic tongue. Dr. Robert Munday could see that Susan was trying to make Chris appear an unfavorable idiot in Dr. Max Cooper's eyes and told Susan that if she didn't lighten up he'd explode and the fallout alone would wipe her out. Larry told Chris it was obvious she'd have to quit working for Max and she agreed to look for another job. When Larry came by the office Susan sew seeds of doubt by saying that Chris was behind closed doors with Max, as usual. Chris seemed to have the prewedding blues and needed a couple of drinks the day before her wedding. She explained to her daughter Lori that Monica might not want to come to the wedding, so Lori called and got her promise to come. Monica was telling everyone that this would never work and she had tried to talk sense into Chris when Chris walked in and told Monica she could only stay if she made no more cutting remarks. When the judge pronounced them man and wife in Fran Bachman's living room on Valentine's Day, Monica, repulsed, hastily left. When Chris returns to work she asked about sterilization since she and Larry had decided to have no more children. Max was telling Chris how much more sensible a vasectomy was when Susan walked in. Susan was sure to tell Larry when he called that Max and Chris had been discussing his vasectomy. Of course Larry exploded at Chris and would not accept that she was asking medical advice, not discussing intimacies. Larry equated masculinity and sterility and felt Max was trying to castrate him. Larry got so angry that he confronted Max telling him to stay away from Chris and to fire her. Larry was accusing Max of still being involved with Chris when Susan, who had dropped in earlier, slipped out of the bedroom. Larry was so humiliated that he got drunk at Noah's Ark and cried on Sandra's shoulder. Johnny McGhee, the bartender, tried to tell Sandra that the affair she had with Larry was in the past and he had just remarried, but Sandra was still a glutton for punishment. Max called Chris telling her to solve this problem within 24 hours or she'd be out of a job because if he was going to be cast as the other man he wanted the pleasure of being the other man. When Larry arrived home drunk, Chris started drinking to provide him with a mirror. Larry and Chris' breakfast discussion started with a fight over Chris working for Max and ended in an argument in which Larry claimed that no one would give him a vasectomy because it was the woman who got pregnant. Chris went to Fran for support, but Fran gave her two pieces of advice - a husband came before a job and forgive a husband a long ago infidelity. When Chris asked Johnny, he said he wouldn't allow Maria to work for a former lover. Larry and Chris tried very hard to understand each other. Chris assured Max that Larry had no say over her job and he would not interfere again. Monica felt that it was not important to follow Dr. Munday's instructions about her high blood pressure because no one cared what happens to her. Dr. Munday replied a mother was always a mother, she shouldn't be ashamed of that. Johnny and Maria decided that they needed a relaxing vacation to produce the much wanted increase to their family. After having been jealous of Sandra, Maria was surprised to find she liked her when she met her. Johnny resented being maneuvered into managing Noah's Ark by J.B. Maria told him to either take it or quit, so Johnny confronted J.B. telling him that he not only didn't like that, but felt there was something shady going on. He added he was going to lose his temper soon and he once killed a man when he was a boxer and didn't like being pushed around by guys delivering envelopes. J.B. agreed when Johnny said he'd only be a bartender and waiter. Maria thought she was pregnant and went to Max's office where Chris stepped over Susan's head to ask Max to see Maria. He agreed she was probably pregnant, but had to wait for the test results. J.B. offered Johnny extra money to do a liquor inventory figuring that when Jerry Nelson came to get his cut from the counterfeit money Johnny would blow up and hit him. Sandra thought this was fishy since an inventory was taken last week.The plan went awry when Jerry sent a hood to pick up the money who threatened J.B. with a knife. When Johnny arrived the hood thought he had the money and came after Johnny who exploded and knocked the guy out. Fran Bachman, a widow, found that her daughter Rachel was growing aware of human relationships. Rachel said she wanted a loving relationship like her mother had with her father. Fran had not realized that time was passing quickly, Rachel was going to college in the fall and Greg was in line for a scholarship to a boarding school for gifted children. She felt restless and Johnny told her to get into the mainstream of life. Joan Willis was enjoying her new daughter at home and was sure she was perfect, but would not leave the baby's side. Peter asked Fran to babysit so that he could take Joan to dinner. The evening was a flop because she worried about Joyelle the whole time. Peter felt neglected.

He said that his father, Mayor of Rosehill, made him angry by hurting Cal, David's fiancee, and so he shot him. Cal told Van and Bruce Sterling that David told her that he was coming home next week and she was going to give him the real Christmas that he never had. Bruce told her she should get confirmation from Dr. Bryson before she started her planning, but the doctor was out of town. Meg, Cal's mother, was wallowing in self-pity and talking of leaving town until her sister Van agreed that it might be a good idea, then Meg decided that she would not leave her son and daughter in Van's hands. When Meg heard that David was coming home she vowed to put a stop to it. She called Dr. Bryson from Cal's and had him tell Cal that David only said he was coming home to please Cal. David tried very hard to please Dr. Bryson and ignored Cal, finally telling her that he wished she wouldn't come to see him because she upset him. Dr. Bryson told Cal that David knew he was far from well and that Cal wanted him to be well soon. Cal began to feel she was following in her mother's footsteps - ruining the life of any man she loved. Learning from Cal and Dr. Bryson he was not to be released yet David became obsessed with leaving to the point of hysteria and had to be restrained. Ben Harper knew that he and Arlene had to come up with a way for him to get engaged to Betsy Crawford so that his mother, Meg, would make the investment with Rick Latimer in the lodge at Beaver Ridge and Ben could be set up in the pro shop.

Ben became over-zealous and hit his head when he fell, but Betsy and Meg were very concerned and Betsy accepted his proposal. He set up a June wedding because her parents would be back from a sabatical then, but after Betsy considered how Cal and David had been kept apart she wanted to elope the day Ben got out of the hospital. Ben took her to Van and Bruce's knowing they would talk them into waiting until June. Ben went to tell Rick and found that Rick had tried to get Arlene drunk in order to find out about her, but failed. Just as Ben felt Beaver Ridge was falling through Rick convinced Meg that it was her experience not just her money that he wanted. She signed the contract and Ben was ecstatic. When Rick took Meg to his house for the afternoon he proved that money was not all he wanted from Meg. At first Meg was afraid to commit herself, but then it changed her outlook on life. Ben asked her for the 550,000 she promised him to start the pro shop, but was flabergasted when she offered him $500,000. When she stipulated that he had to marry Betsy and prove his maturity first, he told Betsy that it was degrading for both of them.

Di asked Charles for a divorce one more time. Felicia Fleming had changed Charles' thinking and he agreed to the divorce much to Di's surprise. Johnny, Charles' grandson, couldn't understand why things couldn't go on as they were, as he was always hoping that she'd eventually come back home. Diana assured him that she would see more of him, but he gave back the watch that she had given him so that she'd think of him when she looked at it. Now that Charles was free of hatred, he professed his love for Felicia, but in return she became hysterical and asked him to leave. Sarah Caldwell, who was looking after Johnny and Charles since his heart attack, convinced Charles that he should call Felicia since she was probably taken by surprise.

One Life To Live Written by: Gordon Russell Produced by: Doris Quinlan The morning after baby Megan had an attack - which her mother Cathy Craig had to cope with alone -, Steve Burke came by and asked why Cathy didn't give in to Joe Riley's demands that Cathy hospitalize Megan until her operation. Cathy refused because she needed to mother Megan and was capable of providing the same care Megan would get in the hospital. Joe, having heard of the attack from Julie Toland, arrived to find Steve holding the baby and again demanded Cathy send Megan to the hospital. Cathy refused, and the ensuing argument upset the baby. Steve left, and Cathy threw Joe out, telling him to leave them alone and not to come hack. Cathy confided to Susan that she thought Joe blamed her for Megan's condition. Joe wandered over to his sister Eileen's to try to calm down. He found her redoing the family album and he asked questions about people he didn't recognize, discovering his family had a history of congenital heart problems like Megan's. Inconsolable, Joe went to the carriage house he and his wife Viki had been renovating, brokenheartedly recalling their plans for children. Inadvertently, Joe missed a business dinner with Victor and Viki, adding to Victor's bad feelings about him. Joe arranged a meeting with Dr. Larry Wolek telling him of the family medical history. Larry tried to reassure him, but Joe was sure he was to blame and said Megan meant then even more to him, which Viki overhears. Susan talked to Larry, volunteering to spend evenings with Megan, to relieve Kathy. Larry refused, saying she'd not be able to do justice to her job at the hospital, but Susan needed to feel part of a family and interpreted Larry's refusal as a rejection of her, so she went back to her apartment and began drinking. Larry sensed something was wrong so he followed her and found her drunk. She said she felt there was a wall between her and the rest of the world. Larry sobered her up and promised to help her. She refused group therapy, and finally rejected Larry when she found Danny and Larry were still devoted to Meredith's memory. Larry finally reassured her. The Woleks' cousin, Jenny, a nun, arrived for Vinnie and Wanda's wedding and to take courses at the university. Vinnie was sure she was no nun because she was young, attractive and "out of uniform.' Cathy was concerned about Jenny's reaction when she learned about Megan's illegitimacy. Jenny told Cathy that she can't condone her getting pregnant outside marriage, but felt she was a good mother. Wanda received a telegram from her brother Paul saying he couldn't give her away. Jim Craig agreed to fill in, cheering Wanda a bit. Everyone was ready for the ceremony but at the appointed time, Vinnie hadn't arrived. Larry couldn't find him. Eileen finally had to tell Wanda, who started into hysterics. But, Vinnie arrived with Paul who would give her away, a wedding surprise for Wanda from her bride-groom. Wanda and Vinnie were then married. Susan caught the bouquet and, speechless, ran out the front door. Wanda was a nervous bride. Eileen and her daughter Julie continued at odds over Eileen's continuing relationship with Ben Farmer, causing Eileen to back off from Ben a bit. So he took Julie to lunch to help ease her mind, but blew it by blaming Julie for the breakup of her own marriage to Mark. Eileen finally told Julie to mind her own business, widening the rift. Eileen's son Timmy arrived home from college, supposedly on a break, but he was disillusioned about lawyers and didn't intend to return, but couldn't bring himself to tell Eileen. Ben was anxious to begin his own business, but had no money, so Eileen volunteered but had to get Joe's permission since he was executor of her late husband's estate. Julie was livid, saying Ben only wanted Elleen's money. Julle decided to move out. Timmy was surprised Ben was younger than Eileen. A rift begins between Joe and Viki when she overheared him tell Julie that no matter how many children one had, the first was always special. Viki wasn't assuaged by Joe's insistence that their child will be special because it's theirs. Viki's fertility tests showed she was normal, but more tests would be taken. Victor chided Joe, his son-in-law, for paying more attention to Cathy Craig's baby, Joe's illegitimate child, than to him and his own wife, playing on Joe's own feelings of guilt over neglecting Viki. Joe let Victor know he was aware that Victor was still angry because Viki chose him over Steve Burke. To try to recement their love, Viki and Joe move into their home immediately. Victor was also upset with Matt McAllister for seeing Dorian Cramer, claiming Dorian was no good because of her actions during the trial. Matt stated his intentions of moving out of Llanfair to an apartment, then let Victor “persuade" him to stay, his plan all along. A larger breach opened between Joe and Victor when Joe disappeared for many hours instead of attending a business dinner. Viki warned Victor to stop getting so involved with others' problems or he'd have another heart attack. John Douglas refused Steve's offer of the editorship of the Sunday supplement, but Victor was determined not to give up so easily. Dorian cashed in a life insurance policy to pay John back because she didn't intend to be indebted to anyone. John asked her not to cut him out of her life too, but she asked to be able to run her life the way she saw it. Foolishly, Matt tried to press Victor for the editorship, but Victor warned him not to aspire to things beyond his talent and experience. Matt made love to Dorian, but she refused a continuing relationship. Found guilty of perjury she was given a $3000 fine, which she didn’t have. She also received notice of a rate increase at Melinda’s sanitarium, necessitating her sister’s transfer to a state institution. Dorian received permission to practice in another hospital, but had no patients yet. To stay close to Dorian despite her continual rejection of him, John accepted the editorship. Upset to learn that Matt was seeing Dorian, Victor stormed to her home where he experienced a pain in his arm and breathlessness.

She sublet the Whiting house and moved in, with John Wyatt's help and support in this trying decision. She couldn't understand why Jennifer, who was weak and dependent, should have everything and she, who was strong and independent, should lose everything.

She felt that if she told the truth they'd want her to get rid of the baby too. Scott hit bottom when Kathy files for to be divorced.

When Bruce and Amy arrived she feigned illness to leave early, but daydreamed about the kiss and fantasized on a more intimate relationship with Steve. Jo felt she couldn't return home until she had completely thought through her situation. As Jo sat in a motel room, Stephanie figured a way to tell Wendy that Tony was her father without putting herself in disfavor. She told her ex-husband, Dave, that if he wanted a down payment on the $15,000 she'd agreed to pay him for lying about Wendy's parentage he had to tell Wendy he was not her father. Dave took Wendy out intending to tell her, but remembered Jo asking him how he could disown anything so wonderful as Wendy. He went instead to Tony telling him the whole plot Stephanie devised to break up his marriage using Wendy as a magnet to attract him. Tony realized how unfair he had been to Jo and asked Dr. Rogers for a couple of days off. When Tony told Stephanie that Dave confessed the truth she tried to lie her way out of it, but finally said she loved him and that was worth any price. He ordered her out saying that the only love he had was for Wendy and for Jo and if she were decent she'd leave town.

Somerset Written by: Winifred Wolfe Produced by: Lyle B. Hill Eve told Ned Paisley she was glad she returned and spent the night with him. When he asked if he was able to make her forget about Julian she told him Julian and she were never lovers and thanked Ned for making her feel free. Scott MacKenzie told his new secretary, Jill Grant Farmer, how much her being around meant to him. She showed she was attracted to him too. Scott's son Skipper went out to Indian Point to sketch, met Jerry Kane, and helped Jerry do chores, resulting in pain. Jerry persuaded Skipper to rest, and Skip explained about his heart condition. Ellen Grant noticed the growing closeness between Scott and her daughter Jill and was hurt because she was beginning to fall in love with Scott - Jill and Ellen were both recently widowed -. Jill and Scott returned from a date and found Skipper unconscious on the floor. Scott called Dr. Stan Kurtz, who was having dinner with Terri at Ellen's. Skipper was in heart failure. Stan called Jerry, telling him he was the only one who could help Skipper and he was responsible because he let Skipper carry logs. Jerry tried to get another doctor to fly in, but the weather was too bad. He then recalled part of the Hippocratic Oath and started for town. He hesitated, but his girl, Heather Lawrence, encouraged him to go on. Jerry stopped the heart failure and ordered an OR. He realized Skipper had to have a heart valve replacement, but it was the same surgery he performed on Wendy who died in the OR in New York. Jerry gained Skipper's trust and Scott agreed to surgery. After a few anxious moments, Jerry began surgery which lasted 6 hours. Skipper survived the operation and Jerry refused to leave until Skipper was out of danger. Unaware of the crisis at the hospital Ned persuaded Eve to spend another night with him and the following morning she served him breakfast in bed. Ned told her he took her seriously and was close to falling in love with her. But Scott called with news about Skipper's operation, upsetting Ned enormously, as he was Skipper's godfather. Eve told him to get dressed, she'd drive him to the hospital. She never thought about how she was dressed - in her evening gown - until Julian arrived at the hospital for the story. Eve confided her embarrassment to Ellen, who observed that Eve was most worried about Julian's reaction and asked if she was not still in love with Julian. Eve admitted she'd always love Julian, but couldn't let that run her life. After a business meeting with Julian, Eve told him of her embarrassment, trying to feel him out. He was disappointed that she and Ned were lovers and brought up Ned's reputation. Angry, Eve told him she'd sleep with whomever she wanted, anytime, any place. Eve later admitted to Ellen that she'd always love Julian. Julian askes his new wife Kate if she'd like to have a baby. She did, but Julian asked her to think carefully about the impact on her life, hinting he'd expect her to curtail her professional life. Kate didn't agree to that, cleverly changing the subject to the joys a baby would bring them. Julian did the story on Skipper's heart surgery, and sent Greg Mercer for a follow up story. Late the following day, Skipper opened his eyes and talked. He asked to see Scott and both were delighted to hear Skipper would be able to lead a normal life. Skipper was puzzled about why Jill and not Ellen was with Scott. Greg arrived to follow up on Julian's story and was hurt to see Jill in Scott's arms. Heather finally persuaded Jerry to go home to sleep. At home, Eve arrived to congratulate Jerry, and indicated he was ready to answer her questions. Heather intervened and sent him to bed. Heather told her mother Jerry would answer questions another time. Greg arrived, and Heather told him to go. Jerry woke up, and against Heather's wishes, told Greg the whole story, saying he knew he was not responsible for Wendy's death and Greg could do what he wanted about the story. Greg told Julian the story. Kate wanted to run the story, but Julian said as long as he was editor, the Register would not print that kind of sensationalism. Kate was angry and the following day brought it up again, implying the Argos was cutting into their business and would print the story if they didn't. Julian again refused to print the story. Eve was angry because everyone seemed to know about Jerry but her. Ellen went to visit Skipper when he was out of intensive care and was hurt when he painted a glowing picture of the fun he, Ellen and Scott would have, because she was increasingly fond of Skipper, but knew Scott was attracted to Jill, not her. Ellen was glad that Jill had found someone, but was afraid Jill's attraction to Scott was a father complex. She admitted to Eve she was fond of Scott, but wasn't ready for love yet. Heather's living with Jerry was not a secret, but only a few close friends were really aware of it, so Heather was mystified when she received a note saying,"Those who live in sin die in sin." It upset her enough that Jerry destroyed it with Heather watching. Subsequently, Ellen and Stan were eavesdropped upon in their offices at the hospital. With Stan's encouragement and Heather's approval, Jerry decided to return to medicine because he was needed. He then demanded Heather and he heal the breach with Eve. Heather went to dress for bed and returned hysterical because she found another note - in her bathrobe pocket. The Young And The Restless Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: John Conboy Newlyweds, Brad and Leslie Elliott had gone to Palm Springs for their honeymoon where, unbeknowst to Leslie, Maestro Fausch was in concert. Leslie felt very insecure on her wedding night, but found she enjoyed being a wife. Brad arranged the newspaper so Leslie saw the ad for the symphony. Since Maestro put down her restaurant and her singing so badly after she quit the symphony she did not feel she wanted to attend the concert. Brad tried to tell her that if she wanted to be a concert pianist it needed not interfere with their marriage and then she would not be in the position her mother was now. As they sat down to dinner in their room the Maestro's wedding present arrived -three strolling violinists, and Leslie promised to attend the concert the following night. Using the excuse that the house was full the Maestro had them stand in the wings and then drew Leslie onto the stage where he made her promise to give one more concert. But when he visited them just before they left for home she claimed she promised under duress and surely he didn't expect her to keep it, but he replied he wanted to hear from her soon. They stopped to see Brad's parents on the way home. After overhearing her husband, Phillip, tell her companion, Jill Foster, that if she were suspicious, his wife would confront him and he could ask for a divorce, Kay Chancellor, an alcoholic, had listerilng devices installed in the house under the pretence that the staff was stealing. Her son Brock found her reading the Bible and explained that it was not what book she used, but she had to find Him; He couldn’t be given to her. Kay admitted she had always been jealous of Brock because his father loved him more than her and Brock was glad that Kay has finally felt a need for him. Phillip bought Jill a new dress and took her to dinner in a private dining room. He didn’t realize that Lorie Brooks saw him kiss Jill until Lorie explained the premise of her new book using Phillip's situation. Kay decided that she would fight for Philip by courting him again. She had Jill fix her hair, dressed in a striking evening gown and ordered Philip's favorite dinner. She asked Jill and Brock to dine with them, but when the maid became ill, Kay asked Jill to serve. Jill removed her plate, served dinner and ate in the kitchen. After Brock took her home Jill cried for Kay because she was trying so hard but Phillip loved her, not Kay. Kay overheard Phillip tell Jill that she had nothing to feel guilty about because he approached her with his love. She felt that she had wronged Jill, but had to still try to win Phillip back. Kay decided to play on Jill's conscience by asking Jill's mother Liz to lunch and using the close relationship between mother and daughter to bring out her guilt. Over lunch Kay went into how wrong she had been, how glad she was that Phillip had stayed with her and how she was going to court and win him. Lorie had a rough time after Brad and Leslie's marriage, but Brock tried to show her it was futile to go on rivaling her sister and very futile to go on loving Brad. Jennifer Brooks had a feeling of discontentment and was seriously considering going to Chicago to see her former lover, Dr. Bruce Henderson, who wass also her husband's best friend when Bruce's son, Mark, told Jennifer that his father was considering a divorce since his mother and father had never gotten along. Ironically Mark told Jennifer that his father was still in love with her. Bruce came to town under the pretense of seeing Mark, but told Jennifer that he knew what she needed and could give her understanding. Jennifer still felt a duty to her husband and children. Stuart Brooks finally realized that something was wrong with Jennifer, but she refused to tell him her problem. Against her better judgement Jennifer had lunch with Bruce at an out of town inn where she was seen by Lorie. Upon returning home Jennifer was shocked when Lorie agitatedly confronted her saying mothers didn't have lunch with other men in love nests. But when Jennifer told her she might be in love with Bruce, Lorie sympathized. Leslie realized that something was wrong and sent Brad to see her mother who sent him out of the house when he asked if there was another man. Leslie questioned Lorie until she admitted that their mother was in love with another man. Stuart finally realizing that Jennifer was deeply troubled offered to go away with her, but when she refused he told her that he had never taken the time, to tell her how much he loved and needed her. She decided to go to Miami and at the airport Leslie told her that she knew and wanted her mother to remember that they loved her. Chris Foster was upset when Snapper went to check out a hospital in Chicago when his illegitimate son lived. She didn't want him to promise that he wouldn’t see Chuckie in case he couldn't keep that promise. While he was gone she got involved with a tenant-landlord stuation which brought to light a small boy whose mother claimed had bruises due to a fall, but after a follow-up visit Chris was thrown out for accusing the mother of abusing the child. Snapper had been persuading his mother to declare his father dead, but even though he walked out on them 9 years ago, his brother, Greg was against it. But Liz asked Greg, a lawyer, to draw up the forms which she signed and decided it was better this way because she really felt he was dead and could face it. Liz explained to Greg that Snapper's hatred toward his father came from loving him so much, that when he left he felt betrayed. Meanwhile, a much alive Bill Foster had been given the word that he had 3 to 6 months to live and should contact his family. He couldn’t bring himself to call, but finally wrote a letter to Snapper asking if he might come home for a few days. Snapper, seeing Liz's peace of mind, said nothing.
