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. Lesley, desiring a change in environment in an effort to assert her individualism from Joel’s influence, moved into a comfortable English-style cottage.

Joel, realizing what the loss of Lesley really meant, went to her and, proclaiming his love for her was not just empty words, told Lesley she was the most important thing in his life. Cam, finding out that Lesley and Joel had become intimate again, warned her that Joel had been lest than honest with her and was only misleading her. However, while spending a quiet evening at Lesley’s, Joel told her he never wanted to be away from her at night again.

Desperate to find a way to change Janet’s mind, Ken continued to conceal the fact that his vision was returning and, upon hearing the radio report of a woman whose ex-husband remarried her after her suicide attempt, told his sister Holly he needed more sleeping pills as boredom had given him insomnia. 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. Ken maneuvered Barbara and Adam into accepting a dinner invitation. An hour before their projected returned, he took a few pills and dropped the rest under a table making it appear he would have taken them all but, unable to see, couldn’t find them. Adam and Barbara discovered him unconscious and had him rushed to a hospital. Everyone believed it was a genuine suicide attempt and only his blindness saved him. Tests showed he didn’t take a fatal dose and he was conscious and fine by morning. AS he demanded to be released, Adam and Barbara made the recommend psychiatric care at home a condition of their arranging this. Holly felt Janet was responsible and Janet herself felt guilty. Having broken with Roger over his uninitentionally placing her and her son Billy in danger from loan sharks, Peggy tried to remind Bill ythat they had good times together before Roger but she realized Billy indeed began to love Roger as the father he did not have and the pain the child suffered was tremendous. Peggy’s divorce from Johnny Fletcher became final and Mike, her lawyer, warned her not to let the Roger experience close her up to the world. When Roger tried to talk to her to find some way back, she again rebuffed him but painfully realized her feelings for him had not died. Roger, determined to pay back loans from Adam and from Holly to repay the loan sharks, was driving a cab days and waitering at the Metro at night. Pleased by Holly’s pregnance, - Holly had told Ed the child was his even though she knew the baby was Roger’s – Ed Bauer told Holly they had a real marriage going and he appreciated what they had together. However, as soon as he left for Berkeley to attend a medical seminar, Holly immediately sought out Roger insisting he needed not to pay back the loan, “it was for us.” He reminded her she had a husband but she insisted she loved Roger. As he tried to retreat and evade, Holly steamrolled his objection forcing him to give her his key so he could spend the day decorating and cleaning his apartment and making plans for what he painfully realized she saw as new beginnings for them. 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.

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.

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. Diana found out that Jamie lost his job in the CIA's office because he became involved with her. She felt Jamie was dissatisfied with his career and it was her fault. She called D.A. Howard who said that if their relationship was legal he'd take Jamie back. After clearing the air with an argument, Diana and Jamie made a vow to love each other. 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. Felicia agreed to lunch the next day and agreed to be friends, but was afraid of anything more than that because of hurting him. Jamie took time off to spend the week in Alabama with Di while she got her divorce. Everything seemed to be going right until he remembered that he had to locate Sally, his wife who left him. Although Dr. Ted Chandler gave Kate Swanson several chances to leave the ghosts of her dead husband and child in Rosehill and no to Monterey, California, Kate couldn't tear herself away. He felt fate delayed his plane in New York, but still Kate refused. When he called her from California Kate said that when she thought things out she'd call him. Beatrice, Kate's mother, finally told Ted she'd keep him informed but he should not call Kate, thereby making her very lonely and vulnerable. Kate was almost beside herself when she realized that she really loved Ted. She tried to call him, but couldn't reach him because he was actually right there in Rosehill. She quickly agreed to marry him and admitted that she was ready to take a trip to California to throw herself on his mercy. 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. Search For Tomorrow Written by: Ann Marcus Produced by: Mary-Ellis Bunim Jennifer’s father threatened to ruin Scott professionally if he didn't give up her case. Scott weighed everything and decided he belonged with Kathy, his wife, and told her he'll stand by his promise to break off with Jennifer if she'd hold off taking a lease on the Whiting house. Jennifer was not adjusting to prison life even though psychologist Mrs. Jackson had tried very hard to show her that if she followed the regulations she'd get out sooner. The doctor had given her tranquilizers because he claimd she was nervous, but Jennifer confided to her friend Marie she was hiding them. When Jennifer and Marie were put on kitchen duty Jennifer fainted and Marie talked back to the indifferent guard getting herself a week in isolation and Jennifer ended up in the infirmary where after a series of tests they told her she was pregnant, She assured Mrs. Jackson that Scott would be thrilled. Scott went to the prison to set Jennifer straight. Scott had lied about loving her to keep her from another suicide attempt, but she broke her news first. She becomes hysterical suggested an abortion. Scott asked her to think about it and gave up the idea of telling her he didn’t love her. When Scott told Kathy that he had asked Jennifer to get an abortion, Kathy replied that it was too late and not to say he loved her because it was not true. 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. Jennifer told Mrs. Jackson that Scott was delighted and was going to divorce his wife right away so they could be married. 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. Deciding he had ruined enough lives, he told Jennifer he wanted her to have the baby and he would stand beside her. When she asked him about the divorce, he told her that he and Kathy were going to be divorced, but failed to mention that Kathy was the one who filed. But when he told her that Marie wrote him about the tranquilizers she was hoarding and asked her to get rid of them she accused him of lying and claimed he only pretended to want the baby to get her pills. Amy Kazlo gave a party for Liza and Bruce's engagement and to celebrate the return of her roving brother Steve. Liza grew less and less sure of her feelings for Bruce when something kept her from letting Bruce make love to her. The night of the party she told him he shouldn't be stuck her because there had to be something wrong with her. Liza was instantly attracted to Steve, but Amy assured Bruce they had nothing in common. Liza arrived at Amy's apartment for dinner and found herself attracted to Steve enough to let him kiss her. 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. Stephanie threatened to send Dave to jail for nonsupport since he double-crossed her. Jo finally decides it was silly to worry everyone and went home but she couldn't make the first move. She sat and waited for Tony to come to her, much to her sister Eunice's dismay. After pleading, to no avail, with Bob Rogers to transfer Stephanie to another hospital for everyone's sake, Tony went to see Stephanie. He got so upset when Stephanie used Wendy's love to try and get around him that he flied into a rage and had a heart attack. Jo stood by during Tony's crisis and assured him that she loved him and they had their whole lives ahead of them. When Jo ran into Stephanie outside Tony's room checking his chart she admitted that she would always love Tony, but he had chosen Jo and Stephanie felt that it was important that Jo knew that he was at her apartment that night trying to get her to leave Henderson. 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.

I posted in the « discuss the soaps » summary for all soaps for January 1975 if you are ever interested.

I never knew that ! I loved Raul and David Lago. Not sure about linking her to Nina would have been a good idea though. It would have us spared the awful Ronan.

Hello everyone. I tried to take some time from isolation to work on the 1975 summaries I had in a closet. I already posted January 1975 a long time ago but in a smaller version. I typed it all for you and if you like, I will try to publish all of 1975. JANUARY 1975 All My Children Written by : Agnes Nixon Produced by : Bud Kloss Since her recovery from pneumonia following her miscarriage, Erica had been emotionally unable to face the fac that she lost her baby as she subconsciously realized the child was the primary reason Philip married her. Phil was close to the breaking point and, when finally goaded beyond control, he blurted out to her that there was no baby, she lost it. When Mona confirmed the miscarriage, Erica was sure that Mona and Phil were trying to drive her out of her mind and make her miscarry. She later wiped this confirmation out of her mind and was again delightfully obsessed by the child she insisted she was carrying. Tara told Phil no matter how Erica acted, she really loved him and needed him now, that he was all Erica had. However, Dr. Mary Hansen, a psychiatrist, visited Erica under the guise of being Mona’s friend and convinced her that she might risk losing the baby unless she was hospitalized, preferably at Oakhaven Sanitarium. Erica, who had confined herself to a bed to insure against miscarriage agreed to enter Oakhaven believing it best for her baby. On the morning before she left, however, Erica asked Mary Martin to tell Tara to stay away from Phil and not try to break up her marriage in her absence. Erica was angry when Mary said she couldn’t do this and she summoned Tara to visit. She asked Tara directly to stay away from Phil, adding she might have convinced Chuck that she was over Phil but she, Erica, wasn’t fooled. Tara angrily replied nobody could be Erica’s friend and if she was more sure of her husband she wouldn’t mistrust everyone. Phil left the tearful Erica at Oakhave promising to visit her as soon as the doctors would allow it. Learning this might be weeks, Phil was in deep depression asking “What have I done?” Phil recognized a pair of gloves in his living room as Tara’s – she forgot them when hastily leaving Erica – and realized she was there. He visited her and was agitatedly pressing her to tell him what Erica said when Chuck walked in. Chuck was annoyed that Phil felt he had the right to freely visit and question Tara. Tara reluctantly admitted Erica did bring up the past but tried to make excuses citing Erica’s illness. Charles told Mary her physical condition was fine and she and her husband Jeff planned to start a family. Ann was finally able to gain a little perspective on the recent tragedy she became involved in while working on the “COPE-Child Abuse” Hotline and understood that adopting a child couldn’t make up for the death of the little girl whose mother contacted Ann on the hotline. Ann had been dating Nick to whom she was married several years ago, but Nick felt Ann was waiting for Paul and Margo’s marriage to breakup. Linc told Kitty that Ann was still in love with Paul and their marriage would not have ended if Margo hadn’t interfered. He added Margo was a tough, had woman who ruthlessly took what she wanted without regard for anyone else and she wanted Paul. Determined to get over a few rough spots in their marriage, Margo and Paul had been making a tremendous effort to keep their marriage smooth and happy and Paul even sought reassurance in his marriage from his mother Kate. Kate worriedly told Joe she felt Paul and Margo had to try too hard. Margo learned her daughter, Claudette Montgomery, had joined her husband Spencer in Europe where he was on a business trip. However, Claudette later called saying she was on her way home and would come to Margo’s. She arrived telling Margo she had left Spencer for good because she was not happy with him, never loved him and wouldn’t have married him if Margo hadn’t pushed her into it because of his socially prominent family. Margo refused to believe this, sure the Montgomerys drove Claudette away as she was below Spencer’s social station. Margo covered up Claudette’s confusion when Paul referred to Margo’s visit the previous summer and Margo later made Claudette promise never to tell Paul she didn’t go to visit her in Newport – she actually had a face life in New York -. Margo was upset to realize Claudette expected to go on living in her current style even without alimony for, as Claudette pointed out, that’s how Margo raised her. Phoebe returned from her worlmd cruise unannounced expecting to find her family biding its time until her return. She was furious to find that Ann was dating Nick and was shocked when Ann made it firmly clear Phoebe had nothing to say about how she, Ann, ran her life. She was amazed to learn that Paul was married to Margo and appalled to find Linc had been dating Kitty, a reaction Kitty had fully expected. Linc told Kitty not to concern herself – Phoebe would just have to learn to live with it. However, the greatest shock was Phoebe’s realization that her husband Charles had been seen in public with his secretary Mona. Mona had been a source of contention between Phoebe and Charles before her departure as she felt his friendship with his secretary was imprudent and embarrassing. Charles who often enjoyed Mona’s company in Phoebe’s absence finally told Phoebe he missed her but his life went on smoothly in her absence and if she disturbed this tranquility he wouldn’t tolerate that and was putting her on notice. Tragedy stroke when little Philip, staying with his grandmother Kate while Tara toured art galleries in New York, fell from Tad’s tree house. Rushed by Joe to the hospital, he was unconscious and had a ruptured spleen. The surgery would be risky in any event but was complicated by little Philip’s rare B- blood. Tara, the only woman donor, couldn’t be reached. But Phil, refering to his army ID, discovered he had the same rare B- blood. Chuck fervently hoped Phil wouldn’t learn that when a mother and child both had B- blood, the father almost certainly must have it too. But the hemotologist assured Phil was the baby’s father and told him why – the blood factor. Shaken, Phil tried to think this through. Another World Written by: Harding Lemay Produced by: Paul Rauch Beginning on Monday, January 6th, the soap expanded to one hour, airing from 3pm to 4pm. Furious at Iris’s summarily returning Rachel’s Christmas presents to her father, Mac, Rachel confronted Iris accusing her of trying to interfere and humiliate her. Iris told Rachel never to come to her home again. When Carol told Mac how hurt Rachel was, Mac warned Iris that if she persisted in interfering in his relationship with Rachel, he would have to move out. Mac, dating Rachel frequently, had taken over arrangements for her son Jamie’s visits to his father Steven who was remarried to Alice. Mac told Rachel she was becoming bery important in his life and that he had been lonely for too long. And sensing her mother Ada’s reservations about him, Mac told Ada and her husband Gil he trusted and loved Rachel and asked Ada to give them a chance. Ada, however, feared that Rachel couldn’t be happy in Mac’s social world. Liz, who was a house guest at Iris’, was continually mortified at Mac’s attention to Rachel inasmuch as Mac had, until recently, been dating her. To point up Rachel’s insuitability in their social circle, Iris planned a “Welcome to Bay City” party for Dr. Richard Gavin and didn’t invite Rachel. Upset at this exclusion, Rachel arrived uninvited. Mac tried to over for her but the other guest, realizing what had happened, ignored her, forcing her to run humiliated from the room. Furious at this insult, Mac followed her and proposed marriage. Upon her acceptance, he returned to the party to announce their engagement causing horror to Iris and shock to all the women guests. Furious at Iris’ vehement refusal to accept it, Mac moved to a hotel. Liz was badly shocked but Dr. Gavin tried to ease her through it. During the next several days, Liz asked everyone to talk to Mac to make him see Rachel would ruin his life and she was angry when they refused to interfere. Iris convinced Russ to try to make Mac listen to reason as he was once Rachel’s husband, but Mac explained to Russ that Rachel’s past was immaterial, she needed love and to be loved and he needed to be needed, to give love to someone he loved and thus Rachel completed his life. Iris attempted to buy Rachel off, but Rachel refused saying she wanted the love and respect Mac offered her. Ada was furious when Liz asked her to talk Rachel out of marrying Mac and decided her own doubts didn’t matter, if Rachel wanted Mac, she should have him. Ada began to realize that Rachel was indeed beginning to fall in love with Mac and his happiness was very important to her. Desperate to stop this marriage, Iris remembered her friend Cynthia Whitfield managed to break up her son’s engagement to an unsuitable girl and visited Cynthia in New York. Cynthia introduced Iris to Phillip Wainwright, a charming, socially well-connected man who, since his own dissipation of his family fortune, had made his living exposing predatory young men who were trying to marry into wealthy families. For a very substantial fee, Iris persuaded him to drop his present assignment and come to Bay City to work on Rachel. John talked to Rachel about her feelings for Mac and he was convinced that she really wanted to be a good wife to him. He told Rachel he realized that she had changed and he would support her in her engagement. However, his wife Pat, argued with John over his championing Rachel and their daughter, Marianne, overhearing, feared she was the cause of their argument as Pat also mentioned John was harshed with Michael, Marianne’s twin, than he was with her. Jim, Pat’s father, told Pat that Marianne felt left out, that no one had time for her, obviously resenting Pat for any disagreements Pat and John might have. Marianne attemps to belittle Pat in John’s eyes but when he called her on this, she did an about-face and was immediately Pat’s loving daughter. John had hired Barbara Weaver as the new attorney to handle the Frame Enterprises’ account. Vic seems genuinely pleased that Lenore was happy as a housewife but often told her how much she was missed at the Frame office. On a dinner date with Vic, Barbara remarked he was acting as though he was trying to get over a woman in his life. He admitted that there was someone but she didn’t evern know it and it was hopeless. In the months that Carol had been working as Robert’s architectural assistant, Pat and Lenore had discussed their unchanging, instinctive dislike and distrust towards Carol. She seemed to rub them both the wrong way. Despite Carol’s frequent cajoling she be allowed to accompany him on the business trip to New York, Robert sticked to his decision that she was needed in Bay City, so Carol faked a phone call to her mother’s doctor in New York and announced her mother was in a medical crisis. Arriving at Mac’s New York townhouse when Robert was staying, she convinced him she needed his advice about her mother’s situation but when he realized Carol planned to spend the night with him in the townhouse, he refused to allow it. Later, back in Bay City, Carol was upset when Robert told her there would be much traveling associated with the Cory account and he wanted her to do it as she was unattached. She tried to beg off but he told her it would be necessary to the business. Rachel realized that Carol was very interested in Robert and resentful of Lenore’s continuing coldness towards her, Rachel encouraged Carol not to give up on Robert just yet. Carol begins dating Dr. Dave Gilchrist frequently. Despite Robert’s firm instructions that the bedroom in their office apartment was for storage use only, Carol made up the bedroom for her own use, then told this to Dave when he arrived for a date and, realizing it was an invitation, he joined her there and they spent the night. Dave narrowly avoided running into Robert in the morning. When Robert realized tat Carol slept there the previous night – she explained she worked late – Robert told her the room was not to be used again. Robert had an uncomfortable moment when Mac arrived while Carol’s dressing as he had to make an explanation he shouldn’t have to make. When Robert later found a man’s cufflinks in the spare room, he assumed they were their co-worker, Neal Johnson’s. When confronted with them, Neal allowed Robert to assume that he and Carol were involved. Later by process of elimination, Neal figured out the cufflinks were Dave’s and gave them to him explaining just what he had figured out. Mac asked Lenore to be nicer to Rachel, to give her a chance to show her she had changed. Lenore is cool to the suggestion causing Mac to later tell Vic that Lenore had better been friendlier to the woman who was marrying the man who employed her husband. Mac asked Robert to be his best man. Lenore was aghast that he would even consider this, feeling it was totally unacceptable. When Robert had to tell Mac he couldn’t accept as Lenore objected too much, Mac graciously accepted but questioned Robert as to why everybody’s resentment of Rachel seems almost irrationally vehement. Robert reluctantly said that Rachel had hurt many people and they couldn’t accept that she might have changed. Liz had moved into an apartment with Helen Moore, Lenore’s mother, but was becoming almost a recluse in her misery over Mac’s “sure destruction.” Dr. Gavin tried to make her see that there was still a world out there. Ada realied that Carol was pushing Rachel to pay Lenore back for the insult over the best man situation and asked Lenore to give Rachel a chance to show she had changed. Lenore replied there was Liz to think of and loyalty to the Matthews family. Back in Bay City with Phillip, Iris began her plans. She apologized to Rachel and Mac assuring them that she had accepted their engagement and invited them to cocktails where they met her “old friend Phillip.” Unfortunately for Iris, Russ, whose romance with Iris had been quite serious, took an instant dislike to Phillip and had stopped dropping by after work. Iris’ annoyance at this was intensified by Phillip’s continuous passes at her. When she coldly reminded him he was being paid for his work, he replied he was used to getting “fringe benefits.” Liz was horrified to see Iris shopping with Rachel – she felt betrayed. Iris realized what this happened but was unable to see Liz to explain. This intensified Liz’s emotional strain and her family was very worried about her. After Iris’ visit to go over the bride’s mother’s duties, Ada told Gil that Iris might say she accepted the wedding but underneath she was still dead set against it. Mac commissioned Robert to build a house for Rachel as a wedding gift and planned to immediately change his will in her favor. John persuaded him to hold off the will until after the honeymoon. Willis Frame, Steven’s younger brother, arrived at Steven’s unannounced. Steven was thrilled to see his younger brother grown to manhood and couldn’t do enough for him. But Willis met Steven’s overtures with a mixture of appreciation and desire for the better things in life and resentment towards Steve for neglecting his family all these years. When Willis told Alice his parents’ marriage had convinced him he didn’t want marriage or children, Alice explained she couldn’t have children adding he might want them if he found he couldn’t have them. Willis replied that it was fortunate that Steve had Jamie by Rachel. Willis was increasingly enchanted with Steve’s possessions and lifestyle but resented Steve’s attempts to provide social contacts for him saying he could make it on his own. Willis was attracted to Carol, perhaps partially because she was so cold towards him. He began working in construction at a Frame Enterprises’ site and seemed most willing to accept Alice’s mothering of him. Willis drove Jamie home from one of his visits to Steve’s house and met Rachel. She was rather uncomfortable in his presence admitting he reminded her so much of Steve. At John’s suggestion, Mac asked Dave to be his best man in order to avoid putting anyone with Matthews’ connection in an embarrassing position. Dave accepted and was later floored at Carol’s reaction. As Rachel’s maid of honor, Carol had been hoping Robert could be made to reconsider and furious at Dave’s unwitting monkey wrench in her plans, she frostily cancelled her date with Dave implying he had overstepped his bounds with her and in front of him accepted a last minute dinner date with Willis. As The World Turns Written by: Robert Soderberg & Edith Sommer Produced by: Joe Wilmore Dan decided that even though he had little chance of winning a courtroom battle against his ex-wife Susan, for the custody of their 4 year-old daughter, Emmy, he would go ahead with it. To catch Dan and his lawyer Grant off-guard, Stan McKeller, Susan’s lawyer, got the hearing set immediately. Susan had to be admonished by the judge about outbursts when she denied that she didn’t want the responsibility of a child and was glad when an unplanned pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Dan told how Susan deliberately became pregnant with Emmy to hold him and then when he was married to Liz, Susan caused Liz’s death through carelessness. After Ellen testified that Susan was distressed that Dan would find out that Emmy had wandered away, McKeller told Susan they had won the case, but Susan insisted on testifying without telling McKeller what she would say. Susan told the judge that Betsy, whom Dan called his nece, was really the child of an affair between Dan and Liz while Susan was still Dan’s wife. Julia, Susan’s mother, could no longer contain herself and told the judge that Susan didn’t really want the responsibility of Emmy although she did love her. And, Julia added, if he didn’t believe her to ask Mark Galloway, Susan’s lover. After Mark had to say that Susan told him she didn’t want the responsibility, Susan walked out, saying she gave up, Dan might have Emmy. Dan was concerned about Susan who, after a fight with Mark, drank herself into unconsciousness, but both she and Mark realized the following morning that they needed each other and things would be better. Susan was so upset when Julia tried to explain her feelings that she took Mark drinking late at night even though she knew she had to be at the hospital early to assist in a skin gradt. David had to apologize for her when she showed up several hours later, her only excuse being that she forgot. John, who was recovring from an accident, was feeling sorry for himself since he realized he had no real friends. John was in pain, but no one could convince him to go back to the hospital for tests and he wouldn’t consent to an examination. After a week of constant pain, drainage appears on his cast and when his wife Kim couldn’t reach Dan who was in court, she called Bob, her brother-in-law. Bob could see through John and said he was covering up his symptoms to keep Kim since she was promised to stay until he was on his feet, but this time he was hurting himself as well. Kim decided that for his own good she would sign the hospital consent, but then broke down in front of her sister, Jennifer, and admitted that the indefinite time is getting her down. Dan did surgery on John’s ankle and when John found out that he had to stay in the hospital for many weeks, go home to a wheelchair and possibly be back for more surgery, he prodded Dan into confirming this to Kim. When Kim reaffirmed her vow to stay with John, Dan stormed out of the room. When Kim visited John at the hospital, he told her that he had really intended to change and still wanted to, but because his leg hurt so badly he couldn’t pull himself together enough to try. Joyce asked Grant, her estranged husband, if they might have dinner to talk over something important. Joyce gave Grant a birthday present of one cufflink to match one of a set that he had lost over the Golden Gate Bridge. She managed to bring up many old lovely memories. Tom brought his mother Lisa, who had been dating Grant, to the same restaurant where Lisa remains calm until Grant caught her eye, then she agreed to leave. Joyce asked the Hugheses and Grant to her new apartment for dinner and spent the evening reminding Grant of all the little things she remembered from their past, which made Nancy very nervous. After they left, Joyce recalled her first wedding and visualized her second. Joyce was sure that careful tending of Grant would bring him back to her. Lisa became very ill with flu and although Bob had given her medication and asked Nancy to stay with her, Lisa was so miserable that she refused her help. Grant found out that she was by herself and went to Lisa’s, set about building a fire and fixing soup and tea refusing to listen to her protests. When she was comfortable, Grant explained how miserable he had been since their separation and Lisa cried because she looked so terrible. Carol filed for divorce from Tom and was plagued with the whole family telling her she had not given it enough time and that she shouldn’t see Jay. Jay, working in construction and development, had taken over much of Carol’s time having her help with the leasing, furnishing, and staffing with his impressive suite of offices. Carol hired a very efficient secretary for Jay’s approval, but he offered the position to Carol telling her he had strong feelings for her and would eventually “get her” even though she protested that they were only friends. When Carol visited Jennifer, she confessed that she missed Tom and Jen gave her hope that there was still time by telling her how hopeless she thought things were between Bob and herself. But Tom and Natalie were getting much closer. Bob realized Natalie was very possessive of Tom when she came in for her check up. Days Of Our Lives Written by: William J. Bell Produced by: Betty Corday Julie was shocked to learn that her husband Bob had sent his ex-wife Phyllis a $600 music box as a get well gift. With this the last straw, Julie saw attorney Jim Phillips about divorce grounds. When Amanda and Neil told Julie they were planning a Las Vegas wedding and wanted her to be the Maid of Honor, she told them she would be glad to go with them. Learning Julie had seen Jim Phillips, Bob angrily assumed Don Craig was involved and said if she wanted a divroce to get on with it. When she added she was going to Vegas, he assumed that was with Don also and stormed out of Doug’s Place. Seeing Julie’s misery, Doug was moved both by her sadness and his own need for a woman. He warned Julie he was not sure, it could be a need for any woman but asked her if it was over between her and Bob. He added that only if she decided she wanted a divorce for her own sake, then they could see if what they once had was still there. She insisted it was, but he replied they had to play by the rules, not as they did when she was married to Scott Banning. Jeri later told Julie she had to be there for Doug tonight, Bob or no Bob, but Julie said it had to be right this time, not a back room where her mother’s ghost lived, but out in the open. Bob had moved out leaving Julie alone at the house. On the night before their wedding, Neil confessed to Amanda that he was in bad financial trouble because of stock deals. She gave him a blank check saying her husband should enter their marriage without debt. After he left, Amanda decided there was no need to be provincial about waiting until the wedding tomorrow and went unannounced to his apartment only to find him in pajamas with a negligeed young woman. Neil told Amanda the girl was a one night stand to fill his physical needs because Amanda hadn’t been intimate with him recently. He insisted it was only her he wanted but he had male needs. Amanda walked blindly out. Neil, later realizing the emotional shock this must have been, went to Amanda’s apartment and found she was not there. Fearing suicide, he called the police, his associate Greg and Julie and Doug. Julie and Doug joined the search and check the cottage at the Anderson lake house where Julie found a note from Amanda saying it was too late for anything. Amanda, meanwhile, at the lake, recalled her happiness over the planned wedding, the blank check then decided Neil only wanted her money. Feeling there was nothing left to live for, she started walking into the lake. Greg stopped at his home after a fruitless search for Amanda. His wife Susan told him she had never seen him so upset about anything. Greg, who had been growing sick and tired of Susan’s constant analysis of his feelings and reactions towards Amanda, told Susan that her wish might have come true, Amanda might have committed suicide, and he returned to the lake where, at times half out of his mind, he crashed through the woods, looking for Amanda, seeing images of her happily marrying Neil. Greg angrily berated Neil for not knowing the first thing about love and said he would like to kill him. Neil, deeply guilt-ridden, insisted to Julie that he truly loved Amanda, and he drove her to this, he killed her. Later while waiting out the night so the police could begin dragging the lake again in the morning, Neil told Greg he chose Amanda because she had class, the rich were different, and he had vowed that he would get out away from his impoverished childhood with a bitter father who had raised him alone. Neil, near exhaustion, insisted on continuins his search in the snowstorm. Tormented and near collapse, he imagined Amanda coming to him to forgive him. Finally suffering from exposure and nervous exhaustion, Neil submitted to Tom Horton’s sedation. Marty Hansen – Mickey suffering from amnesia – was deeply upset when his new wife Maggie apparently had no feeling in her legs after the first surgical attempt to restore her ability to walk. He was miserable that he couldn’t relieve Maggie’s despair and was deeply touched and grateful when his mother, Alice, was able to bring Maggie faith and hope through the gift of her late daughter Addie’s mustard seed. Realizing the biggest obstacle to Maggie’s emotiona and physical recovery was insecurity and the fear that she would somehow lose Marty to his ex-wife, Laura, Laura told Maggie that she and her new husband Bill – Mickey’s brother – were expecting a child and were ecstatically happy. Laura had planned to tell her son Michael about the baby that evening and was shocked to learn that he visited Maggie who accidentally told him first. Michael was deeply resentful and angry, feeling that everybody had been told this news before he was. He concluded that he was excess baggage in his mother and Uncle Bill’s home and packed to move. He asked his grandmother Alice if he could stay at her home but she refused assuming he would have to go back home. But Michael moved a cot into his girlfriend Trish’s apartment and they both told themselves that they could live together, as buddies, just roomates with nothing physical between them. Jeri was very upset about Laura’s negative attitude about Michael’s moving in with Trish but Mike promised Jeri she could trust him. During their discussion, Jeri’s husband, Jack arrived at Trish’s apartment fluidly saying that he was there to make sure Trish was all right. Ironically, Trish had just told Mike the reason she moved out is because Jake, her stepfather, used to walk in on her while she was undressed, she was afraid he would try something. Jeri confided to Jack it would kill her if in a moment of anger he revealed the miserable details of her, Jeri’s, past to her daughter. Jack promised he wouldn’t keep reminding Jeri of what she was like when was Trish’s age and reminded her she was Trish’s mother. Jeri later warned Trish that even with the best intentions she and Mike could make a mistake. Learning what Mike had done, Alice went to Trish’s apartment and finding Trish and Mike were both so nervous they couldn’t even sleep, she gently said she understood what they were trying to do but she expected Michael to move to her house that night. The Doctors Written by: Eileen & Robert Mason Pollock Produced by: Joseph Stuart Michael, whom everyone believed died in an explosion at sea, preferred to remain “dead” and not inform his wife Toni of the contrary. Mike after his whirlwind visit to the States returned to Singapore believing his wife had forgotten him and married his cousin Alan. He was unaware that the sudden death of Alan’s wife, Margo, postponed Alan and Toni’s marriage plans until February 14th. Mike was drawn to lonely and sympathetic British nurse, Dawn Eddington who cared for him during all those months of recovery while renowed plastic surgeon Dr. Chaing rebuilt a completely new facial structure for Mike. Mike admitted to Dawn that he still loved Toni but Dawn openly declared her love for him and insisted that she would not be hurt if Mike would move in with her. Dr. Chaing, Dawn’s foster father, was incensed over such an arrangement without Mike first obstaining a divorce, but Mike, haunted by his boyhood fantasies of his domineering father, Dr. Matt Powers, feared contact with his family would only bring unwanted interference from his demanding father and refused to write a letter instigating a divorce from Toni. Alan is surprised and pleased when an old army buddy arrived just before his wedding because Alan would like the Reverend Joe Turner, Hospital Chaplain, to perform the marriage vows. Rev. Turner told Alan that after three year ordeal in the prisoner of war camp, he had lost his conviction that he could ever be of religious help to anyone again. When a grief-stricken patient attempts suicide because of the loss of his family in an unexpected fire, Rev. Turner persuaded the man to live and found he did have his calling after all. Tom and Althea finally traced down Mrs. Iris Fonteyne after she returned from Florida with her constant companion, Rex Everlee. They explained about her exposure to Ann’s Obanda Fever and requestes that she enter Hope Memorial immediately for tests. Everlee was enraged with the suggestion at first claiming that they were the ones who “killed” his close friend Brendan, Iris’s husband, despite the stated fact that the man died of terminal cancer. Everlee’s close bond with Brendan gave him complete power over Iris and he persuaded her to sign a letter drafted by him to turn over Brendan’s two million dollars worth of South African Gold Mine Stock to Iris so that she can fulfil Brendan’s last wish to establish Everlee’s Cosmic Force Institute. Surprisingly, after a short confrontation with Everlee, Tom and Althea persuade him to take Iris to the hospital, where various tests porved that she had not contracted the killer Obanda Fever. Yet, Althea, not content with the findings, insisted on further tests because Iris was running a mysterious, consistent low-grade fever and she couldn’t in good conscience dismiss her patient under these circumstances. Everlee again confronted Althea and berated the medical profession, but again surprinsingly did an about-face and agreed to have Iris remain for further testing and to return once a week thereafter as an outpatient until the cause of the fever could be determined. However, he privately pressured Iris to leave with him for South Africa and demanded to have his financial power increased. Althea told Tom of her gut dislike of Everlee who seemed to remind Althea of her own dead husband’s manipulative powers and she worried for the well-being of the vulnerable Iris. Althea, at first reluctant to become involved with attracte Tom, planned to accept his invitation for skiing over the Valentine holiday weekend and politely avoided attending Toni’s wedding where Althea felt she would only be an outsider. Nick had settled down in the warm desert climate with his fiancess Ann to help her recover from the ravages of the Obanda Fever. Hank and his young bride Lauri, settled in their rustic apartment above the Aldrich’s garage, faced the awesome task of working for and passing the rigorous medical boards that Hank had to take to become a neurosurgeon. Karen, tormented by her inability to remember her past and her little son Erich whom she desperately wanted to reclaim as her own again, tried various ways to spark her memory of the past. When all the paths led to failure, Karen boldly decided to leave Germany and fly to America and confront Steve and Carolee about seeing her son. Dr. Rolf Krilling forewarned Steve and Carolee. In a desperate move to protect Erich from the confrontation with a woman who might tell him she was her real mother and destroy all the the security that it took so long to instill in him, Carolee and Steve moved him temporarily to Boston to his grandmother Mona. When Karen arrived demanding to see her son, hostilities erupted between Carolee and Karen. But Steve finally convinced Carolee that Karen meant no harm and sincerely needed to see Erich before returning to Germany. Unfortunately when Erich finally did meet Karen, he was aloof and hostile and Karen was hurt by this initial reception. She returned once again with a gift before leaving for the airport with Steve. As her plan was to take off, there was a sudden accident and Karen was rushed unconscious to the hospital where she regained momentary consciousness and recognized Maggie whom she hadn’t seen since before she lost her memory, proving to everyone that the trauma of a second plane crash had restored her memory. Karen, suffering from a concussion and whiplash, was contrite over the foolish attempt to kidnap Erich away from his father, Steve, which nearly resulted in Erich’s death. However, realizing she lost out on all those early formative years with Erich, Karen told Steve that she wouldn’t be deprived of her son any longer. The Edge Of Night Written by: Henry Slesar Produced by: Erwin Nicholson As the murder trial of Taffy Sims continued, Judge Cameron Davis presiding, tension ran high between Adam, Martha’s defense lawyer, and Brandy, Assistant D.A., and attorney for the prosecution. Various close friends of Martha’s were forced to recount Martha’s open antagonism towards Taffy which could damage Martha’s case before the jury. Even Adam’s forceful examination of the crooked lawyer Paul Fairchild and how the adoption of little Jennifer was actually an elaborate extortion scheme did not seem to overshadow the gravity of Martha’s confessed shooting of Taffy. Everyone in court was stunned when a package containing the missing murder gun suddenly and mysteriously was handed to the prosecution – the gun had originally disappeared when it was stolen from Kevin after an attempt to purchase it from an anonymous stranger -. With Martha’s case going so badly there appeared to be one course open for Adam, to place Martha on the stand to testify on her behalf. Bill, fearful of his wife’s mental state, went to Mike who was still at home recovering from a severe case of hepatitis and convinced Mike and Adam to allow him to testify at the risk of exposing his exemplary police career to scandal once the facts about his unfortunate involvement with the underworld were known. Martha, anguised by yet another disgrace she had caused her beloved husband, begged him not to ruin his career, but Bill, assuring Martha he had to for his own peace of mind exposed everything, told the court of his orders to release from police custody Harry Johnson and Floyd Porter because of the threats by Fairchild to end the adoption and Bill’s concern for his wife’s health. However, when Adam called Lt. Luke Chandler who convincingly explained that these criminals would have had to been released for lack of hard evidence anyway, Luke undid all bad impressions of possible corruption on Bill’s part and vindicated his admired superior. Later, the police commissioner made a personal visit and assured Bill and Martha that they mayor and the commissioner wouldn’t allow Bill’s testimony to jeopardize his job his job and he had their vote of confidence. Martha took the stand and poured out the story of her love and fear for little Jennifer's well-being and how, driven to desperation, she picked up Taffy's loaded gun to threaten her into opening the locked bedroom door when Jennifer was crying, only to have the gun go off almost by itself, killing Taffy. Brandy then produced the murder gun and in a surprise demonstration insisted Martha fire the gun into a protective shield. Since Martha had to exert extreme force to pull the trigger, this proved to the astonished court that Martha's contention of a hair trigger is false, and Taffy's death was far from accidental, completely destroying her defense case. In a secret meeting with Walter LePage, head of the Crime Syndicate, his henchman Morlock and the shady lawyer Fairchild, who feared for his own skin should Martha be indicted, LePage assured Fairchild that his son-in-law Vic Lamont would be his lawyer should he need legal assistance. Privately Morlock recounted his role in recovering the murder gun from Kevin and altering the trigger mechanism to insure Martha and Fairchild both go to jail. Morlock boasted to Johnny Dallas, who, unaware to Morlock, was a double agent with the Crime Syndicate and the police, that Martha would be indicted which puzzles and upset both Johnny and Mike. When Kevin, desperately searching for some sort of clue which could exonerate Martha, showed the police photos of Taffy's corpse to Adam, Adam recalled in Martha's testimony that Taffy had been putting her hair up in curlers when she was shot. Yet, the photos showed Taffy with no curlers in her hair at the time she died. Adam's contention is that Morlock and Fairchild, in a further attempt to frame Martha in another blackmail plot, were really the ones responsible for Taffy's death sometime after Martha left Taffy's apartment believing she had killed the woman. Brandy, who softened her cross examination of Martha, incured DA Ira Paulson's wrath, because he felt she had not forcefully nailed down the prosecution's case and insisted Brandy show her mettle in another showdown in court against Adam. Brandy couldn’t accept Adam's hopeful theory about Martha's innocence because she did not consider Martha's statement about Taffy's hair curlers as real evidence, only the word of the accused. Adam and Brandy again polarized in a confrontation when he insisted he would prove his case of "reasonable doubt" and would win Martha's freedom. Jim faced the most important decision of his life while his wife Liz and their baby son cared for the cantankerous Orin Hillyer in his villa in Italy. He had to consider accepting an important psychiatric post In Toronto, Canada which would mean leaving Monticello. Geraldine Whitney, a woman who had lost her husband and her sons, found renewed happiness in making young Kevin her sole heir to the immense Whitney fortune, Her only request was that Kevin and Phoebe Smith postpone their marriage plans. Danny Muselli and Tracy Dallas, John's sister, appeared to be getting along better to the joyous relief of Laurie and Johnny Dallas. Suave, charming financial advisor Noel Douglas, who was slowly captivating beautiful widowed Tiffany Whitney, pursued Tracy to her apartment where he forced himself upon her reminding Tracy of her one time profession in Chicago where he along with others came frequently to her luxurious apartment for her favors. John and Laurie were surprised but pleased that Vic and Kay were willing to let bygones be bygones and to resume a more friendly atmosphere. Vic who knew of John’s secret double agent role had no idea that his father-in-law Walter LePage was head of the Crime Syndicate. Vic was pleased when John and Laurie accepted a dinner invitation. General Hospital Written by: Bridget & Jerome Dobson Produced by: James Young District Attorney Chase Murdock and his dedicated young assistant Ross Jeanelle aggressively pursued the investigation of Dr. Phil Brewer's bludgeoned death by the hand of an unknown assaillant. When the clear set of fingerprints taken from the smooth crystalline side of the geode, the alleged murder weapon, proved to be Jessie's, the police dramatically arrested her during working hours at General Hospital. The complete 7th floor staff and her friends stood helplessly by stunned as Jeanelle guided Jessie past the whirring TV cameras and interviewer Kira Faulkner to police headquarters where she was proficiently stripped of all dignity, booked, mugged and incarcerated. Lesley and Joel rushed to Jessie's aid only to discover a mere shell of the once vital woman they knew. Lee, a close friend and excellent lawyer, arranged for Jessie's release on $35,000 bail and stood by her at the arraignment to enter a plea of not guilty for the preliminary hearing which Lee wanted held as soon as possible. At home again Lee confessed of his love for Jessie through the years and pledged his support throughout this whole ordeal. Lee's stepson Scotty also echoed his father's desire to be of help to Jessie. However, Jessie begged Lee and all her friends not to be concerned about her well-being and staunchly rejected Diana's appearance in court claiming she and Peter had suffered enough and had to lead the peaceful life they deserved. Steve, furious with the part Kira played in the publicity of Jessie's arrest, defended Jessie's right to return to work even in the face of extreme opposition from Mr. Thurston, the hospital administrator, who claimed Jessie had caused patients to refuse care in a hospital where a murder had occurred. Steve finally convinced Jessie to return to work despite her reluctance. Kira, suspicious of Jessie's weakened condition contacted Dr. Thompson, Jessie's physician, who told her that her friend was seriously in need of medical care, but when Kira confronted Jessie, Jessie forced her to remain silent about her poor condition. Unknown to everyone, she was suffering from San Joaquin Valley Fever. Jim, who had stopped drinking immediately after Phil's death, resumed his old habits when Jessie was arrested. He had only a hazy recollection of the murder night because of his heavy drinking that evening. Jim, constantly tormented by nightmares of his presence in the room with the dead Brewer, finally confessed to Audrey, his wife, the truth of being in the hospital and Audrey immediately called Lee who was both pleased that Jim would testify that he saw Brewer already dead before Jessie was found with the body and angry that neither Jim nor Augusta came forward sooner to prevent Jessie's arrest ordeal. Lee planned to use Jim as a surprise witness at the preliminary hearing and force Jeanelle to dismiss all charges against Jessie. Jeanelle, curious about Baldwin's defense case, was furious when he learned from Augusta that Hobart had been on the 7th floor the night of the murder and the police investigation Jeanelle spear-headed hadn't been as thorough as he had thought. Jeanelle recalled that his father once owned matched geode bookends and wondered if the police exhibit murder weapon might not also have a matching half. Lee, confident and expectant that Jim's testimony would vindicate Jessie, reassured everyone that Jessie's ordeal would soon be over. He was stunned, however, when Hobart, who had been drinking, took the stand and under oath claimed he saw Brewer alive and well, except for a bloody lip, at their meeting in Dr. Williams' office at 10:30 p.m. Peter, having learned that Augusta was going to have his child, was alarmed when he discovered she had left town on the pretext of a short rest cure. He knew she had made plans to have an abortion in a clinic in the town of Greenbriar and, telling Diana he had to leave for a business consultation, he went to the clinic to speak to Dr. Ackerman, and discovered that Augusta's illness and slight fever had caused her to postpone her plans. When Diana was called out of town for an emergency family affair, Peter confronted Augusta who admitted that, although she once planned to become pregnant with his child, she only did it out of love for him and the sincere belief that he had permanently separated from Diana, She declared the abortion was her decision to make so that they both could get on with their lives, and she made plans to leave for Greenbriar just as soon as she finished testifying at the hearing. Lesley and Joel had been at odds since Jessie's arrest because Lesley believed Joel was convinced that Jessie was guilty. Wealthy Cameron Faulkner, acrimoniously separated from his former wife Kira, invested a large endowment fund in Lesley's free clinic and informed Kira that he had plans for Lesley despite Stratton's obvious interest in Leslie too. Kira and Dr. Hardy had become very close friends and there appeared to be a romance starting for the dedicated doctor. Henry and Jane worked together at the free clinic to deliver a lovely set of twins and found that each other's company provided the solace needed now that Henry had to face the reality that the lovely Mai-Lin would probably never return from China to become his bride. Guiding Light Written by: Robert Cenedella Produced by: Lucy Ferri Rittenberg After several negative reports on Dr. Tim Ryan's abrasive attitude, Ed warned Tim he had to learn to treat people with respect. He was annoyed but agreed. Later while talking to Pam Chandler, Tim realized she was suffering swelling in her joints and rushed her for tests. He discovered that she had symptoms of toxemia and he was worried that the baby she was carrying might have to be taken prematurely, which was dangerous as in toxemia the baby's development was slowed. When he asked for family medical history, Pam said she had none, her parents were killed in a car crash when she was twelve and there were no relatives nor friends. Tim explained he had to locate the family doctor as any family history of kidney disease or high blood pressure could make the difference in her condition. Pam and Sara tried to figure out why Tim was so apparently upset when Pam talked of her love for David, the baby's father, a young man who was unready for the responsibilities of marriage or parenthood so Pam left him to have his baby on her own. Tim's worst fears were confirmed when the Chandler family physician was tracked down and told him both conditions were part of her history and he would recommend taking the baby now to save Pam's life. Tim tried to conceal this but Pam did her own research on toxemia and was terrified to realize what might be necessary. Janet was hired as the evening administrator in Cedar's Free Outpatient Clinic.

Holly, Ken's sister, offered to share her inheritance from their father with Ken but he refused saying he would make it on his own. Ed was thrilled to learn that he wass going to be a father but realized Janet would never be completely out of his mind. Holly was pleased at Ed's reaction but was upset at his insistance that she see the Head of Obstetrics, Dr. Heller. She fortuitously managed to miss Heller and saw instead his resident, Dr, Hartman. She managed to convince Hartman to record that she was one month pregnant on her records despite his saying that she seemed more like two months. Having managed this, Holly told Hartman she wanted him to be her doctor of record. If Ed were to learn that Holly was two months pregnant, he would know that he could not be the father and it might come out that Roger Thorpe was indeed the child's father. Ed was concerned when his son Freddy - by Leslie, now Ed's brother Michael's wife - was upset at the news his father would have a new baby. Leslie assured Ed that Freddy would soon put it in perspective. Roger Thorpe's financial situation had not improved and loan shark Mr. Lewis had given him only 24 hours to come up with all the money he owed. When he was unable to do this, Lewis' thugs visited Roger and beat him severely. Roger, hospitalized, insisted he had been beaten by crooks, but Mike, his attorney, suspected that Roger's financial transfusion was from a loan shark because he had discovered it was cash rather than by check. Holly was horrified at learning of Roger's beating and surreptitiously visited him in the hospital, again assuring him the child she was carrying was his. Peggy, who had been dating Roger seriously, was puzzled to see Holly there as Holly gave the impression that she hated Roger because of the miserable affair they had 2 years ago. Roger sticked by his thieves story as Mr. Lewis called reminding him if he told the police his girlfriend Peggy and her son Billy would pay. However, Peggy was nearly hit by a car, received a telephone scare reference to her son Billy, and then found a knife stuck in her front door. When the police was told of these anonymous threats, she was given limited surveillance. She had no idea why this was happening. Learning Peggy was in danger, Roger quickly admitted the whole story to Mike and Adam, his father, and realizing the only way out was to bail Roger out financially, Adam was trying to liquidate his stock-holdings knowing it would wipe him out financially. He refused to allow his wife Barbara to sell her house. Finally Adam had to tell Peggy why these terrifying things were happening to her and her faith in Roger was destroyed. When Adam mentionned to Roger that Holly had $100,000 inheritance Roger left the hospital and went directly to Holly to ask for a loan. As he was about to ask her, he realized it was wrong, he couldn’t do it and abruptly left. Barbara explained the whole story to Holly asking her to loan Roger, whom she purportedly hated, the money in order to save Peggy and BIlly. Ironically this argument tore Holly apart because, by stressing Peggy's danger, Barbara was not making a request to help Roger, but to save Peggy, her rival. But, when Leslie later told Holly that Peggy was through with Roger as she was disillusioned by this deceit, Holly immediately told Adam that Roger could have the money. Roger thanked Holly promising to repay the loan but she wasn't concerned about this – she was convinced, as he painfully realizds, that he was trying to tell her he had reconsidered and wanted a future with her and the baby. She told him she knew he needed time and when he was ready she would tell Ed the truth. Peggy, refusing to even talk to Roger, emotionally thanked Holly for ending the threat to Billy and herself adding she could never forgive Roger for the danger he put Billy in. Roger, desperate at losing Peggy, went to her to apologize but she told him if he had any feeling for her to get out. Billy was crushed when Peggy said Roger was no longer in their lives. How To Survive A Marriage Written by: Rick Edelstein / Margaret DePriest Produced by: Peter Engel Recently widowed Fran Bachman had decided that she had to get a job, but found that she was either overeducated or not educated enough for every available job. Chris Kirby, her best friend, told her that her boss, Dr. Max Cooper, was expanding his office and she should apply there. Fran got an appointment, but Max misunderstood and thought she was a patient and then had to break the bad news to her that it was a registered nurse he was looking for. Finally Fran and her neighbor, Maria McGhee, decided to run a thrift shop out of Fran's garage featuring refurnished antiques and handmade crafts. Fran hoped that with her share of the profits and Rachel's contribution of her tips from the super-market she could make the extra $86 a week for the mortgage. Johnny and Maria thought Fran should find a nice man who could provide companionship and help Fran out of her financial problems, but Fran was still too in love with David's memory to consider it. Johnny McGhee realized that taking the job as night bartender at Noah's Ark had solved some of his problems because it gave him space, and space had never gotten a woman pregnant. Maria saw Johnny and Sandra kissing at Noah's Ark and jumped to the conclusion that they'd been sleeping together. It took a very big fight to clear the air but they finally agreed that with a lot of cooperation their marriage could survive. JB, the owner of Noah's Ark, had been approached by Jerry Nelson to make change for large counterfeit bills. To cover himself, he had pictures taken of Johnny giving change when he, JB, had made a point of being absent, asking Johnny to make out the night deposit and to give change for large bills late in the evening so the deposit wouldn't be so heavy. Jerry didn't feel it was necessary, but JB, had never been to prison and didn't intend to go. In order to further protect himself he burnt the negative. JB came back to find Johnny hadn't com-pleted the night deposit because he was $300 over and had three $100 bills, so JB said these were from a catered party so no questions were asked. At first Johnny wasn't sure he wanted the responsibility of being manager, but then he liked the idea that someone trusted and depended on him. In fact he was so content that he told Maria they could afford to start the family that she had been wanting. Maria ecstatically began planning their future. Chris Kirby, still in a turmoil emotionally, had trouble relating both to Larry, her estranged husband, and to Max, her boss. Max dropped by one evening and almost got Chris to forget herself, but she backed off and he left saying he couldn't run her moralistic obstacle course. Max tried to get her out of his system by putting on paper everything he felt. Max was where he never expected to be - caught in his own emotions. On the day Chris' divorce was final she decided that she really loves Larry. She and Larry made up, much to Monica Courtland's dismay. Monica, Chris' mother, said she loved her but couldn't respect her, then appealed to JB to do whatever was necessary to keep Larry and Chris apart, but he refused. She asked Sandra - Larry's reason for originally leaving Chris - to make a play for Larry, but Sandra replied Larry really loved Chris. As a last resort she offered Larry $30,000 to stay away from Chris. He threw her out. Larry started making plans for their marriage by asking Fran to donate her house as a chapel and tried unsuccessfully to buy back their house from Johnny McGhee. When Johnny let this slip Chris called Larry to get things straight since she was not contemplating matrimony, she felt they should just live together. Over drinks at Noah's Ark Chris made it clear to Larry he couldn't make decisions for her. As they talked, in walked Max, Robert Mundy - Max's new collegue internist - and Susan Pritchett - the new RN who had made life miserable for Chris at work by putting her down and stepping into her place in the close relationship she had with Max -. Susan - Miss Pritchett to Chris, the lowly file clerk - made a fuss over Larry and teased Chris about turning down dinner with them while Max seethed. Chris had decided that she wouldn't give Susan the satisfaction of seeing her quit this impossible situation. When Larry took Chris home Lori appeared and, seeing her mother and father acting as if they were married, was told that they love each other again. Lori, assuming they would be remarried, asked if she might have a new dress for the wedding, Chris gave in to Larry's wishes, but later decided against a long honeymoon since Larry again started planning without asking Chris' feelings. Chris admitted that she was against many of his ideas because he never asked her opinion. They decided to be married at Fran’s on Valentine's Day. Fran, Sandra and Joan all felt that something was wrong. Sandra went so far as to say they would never stick together. Monica told Larry that she would fight for her daughter no matter what. When Max took Susan to his place and tried to explain his philosophy of men and women, Susan guessed that Max had an affair with Chris. He finally admitted it, but said it was over. The following morning Chris was a few minutes late and Susan used the opportunity to show Chris up by going through Chris' desk dumping her personal items on the desk while supposedly looking for the schedule. When Chris confronted Susan for being condescending again Susan said she was mad because Max was cold to her since their affair was over. Chris refused to believe that Max told Susan about it, but Susan took pleasure in taunting Chris. Peter Willis was very concerned about his pregnant wife, Joan. She tried to make light of the fact that she had been staining because Max said she'd be all right as long as she rested. But when she started herorrhaging badly, Joan called Max, then passed out. Max rushed her to the hospital and couldn’t promise Joan he would protect the baby at the cost of her life. Although 2 monts early, the baby girl weighed 3 lbs., 4 oz., but Joan felt Max was not telling her everything since she was not permitted to see her baby. When they both had rested several days, Joan saw the baby and named her Joyelle. Joy because she is, to them, elle was “she” in French and is also the phonic sound of the first letter of love. Love Of Life Written by: Claire Labine & Paul Avila Mayer Produced by: Jean Arley Cal received a call from David, Cal's lover and "murderer" of his father, Jeff Hart, late mayor of Rosehill - David shot Jeff when he saw Jeff trying to rape Cal. - They arranged to meet at the river house. Betsy overheard and persuades Cal to tell Van and Bruce. Bruce refused to let Cal go alone, but promised to wait in the car until Cal called him in inadvertently. Betsy told Ben, Cal's brother, about the meeting, and trying to ingratiate himself with his mother, Meg, Ben told her. She called the police because she was sure her step-son David was a deranged killer. Cal almost persuaded David to turn himself in, but he saw the police and ran away. Meg's interference caused a bigger rift between Cal and her. Meg was furious that all the evidence she found against Jeff did't implicate Phil Waterman, Jeff's close associate, and Meg set out to get the goods on Phil, beginning to flirt with him and play up to his ego. They went out to the river house to retrieve papers and find evidence of David's presence. Phil called the police and Cal while Meg kept a disoriented David busy. The police arrived and handled David with kid gloves. When Cal arrived, she persuaded David to surrender. He drifted in and out of reality. Cal arranged for Jamie to defend David, who couldn't recall killing Jeff, but felt a need to be punished. A psychiatrist recommended David be institutionalized for a while and Jamie was sure charges would be dropped. David frustrated Dr. Bryson by insisting he liked the hospital and intended to stay there. Ben found it difficult to keep Arlene in line about Betsy, but convinced Arlene that his only hope of getting the pro shop at Rick's proposed Beaver Ridge project was to show Meg that he was sincere about Betsy so Meg would be assured of his reformation and invest. Meg and Arlene took an instant dislike to each other. Ben convinced Arlene that his best chance was to become engaged to Betsy, infuriating Arlene, who reminded him bigamy was illegal. Her fears were relieved, however, when Betsy refused to commit herself to an engagement, despite her love for Ben, saying they were both too young. Betsy accepted Ben's ring as a friendship ring, and refused to move it to her left hand because everyone, including Ben, might get the wrong idea. In her campaign to find evidence against Phil Waterman, Meg had Jamie 'bug" her house. She got Phil to admit his part in Jeff's affairs. Phil, however, was suspicious and drugged Meg, and found the bug. The next morning, Meg checked the tape recorder, listening only to the first part, and sure she had Phil's confession, Meg arranged for Jamie, the D.A., and the Sterlings to hear the whole tape with her. She introduced the tape by pointing out how she succeeded where nobody else could, gloating. Everyone was enormously pleased until the end of the tape where Phil announced the confession was untrue and Meg was a fool. Humiliated, Meg decided her whole life had been a waste, despite the efforts of others to show she was valued, and she decided to leave town, to Ben's dismay, because he saw ail his efforts towards getting the pro shop wasted. Bruce Sterling, Jeff Hart's opponent in the election for mayor, was appointed interim mayor after Jeff's death. Van was feeling useless and somewhat resentful of Bruce's late hours. Kate, who lost her singing voice after a bout with throat cancer, tried to sing and failed. Ted had warned her it was too soon, and assured her that her voice would return after working with a voice doctor and speech therapist. The bond between Kate and Ted had been growing, as they had the common bond of having lost loved ones, and finally Ted confessed his love. Kate was unsure of her feelings, but didn't want to lose Ted. He arrived with news of an offer to be a partner in a clinic in Monterey, California. He asked Kate to marry him and accompany him. She was still too unsure of her feelings to accept. When Ted told her he had to give his answer immediately, and he wanted Kate to go with him, she admitted she loved him, but felt she was in a bind: if she didn't marry Ted, she'd lose him, but was she did marry him, she would lose what she had left of Dan. Ted was very hurt at the reference to Dan and stormed out, saying he was going away. Diana Lamont again asked Van's help in convincing Charles to give her a divorce. Van again refused to get involved, not wanting to lose either's friendship. Charles had been growing closer to Felicia Fleming, his grandson Johnny's teacher, who helped get Johnny to move back to Charles' house. Felicia began a portrait of Charles, and they had dinner together often, and when Charles showed affection, Felicia withdrew and often made comparisons between Charles and her father. Felicia was also interested to learn that Johnny had an extensive trust fund from his dead father. Diana's and Jamie’s happiness was marred only by her growing obsession with their age difference. When they realized Charles was adamant about no divorce, they convinced themselves to be content as they were. They discussed having a child and Di realized her time for childbearing might be running out. She discussed it with Van, who said children needed the security of marriage. Van remained negative until Di brought up the personal fulfillment a child of her own would give her. Felicia accidentally learnt from Charles that Jamie gave up his job in the D.A.'s office to live with Di, and later told Di about it, aware Di didn't know. Di confronted Jamie, saying he'd put a lie between them and asked how he could expect their love to grow without trust and honesty.

Joe tried to stop her, but was unable to since her family felt they had taken every precaution. Unfortunately the weatherman was wrong and they were overtaken by a huge snowstorm during which they ran off the road. They walked a quarter of a mile to a summer cabin where Steve tried to make Cathy comfortable and then hiked out to find a phone. He called her father, Dr. Jim Craig, who started out to find them after contacting the highway patrol. When Steve got back he found that he was the only help Cathy would have during the delivery of her baby. Help arrived after the fact and they arranged safe transportation out. Joe was not only hard on himself, but was not making things easier on his wife, Viki, who thought she could cope with the baby's birth but was finding it all very difficult. Cathy was ready to take Megan - who looked like her father - home when she developed breathing problems and had to stay in the hospital. Jim turned the case over to his brother-in-law Larry Wolek because he didn't want to be emotionally involved. After consulting many specialists Larry's fears were confirmed - Megan was born with a malformation of the heart. Jim told Cathy that Megan couldn't have corrective surgery until she was 3 months old because she had to gain weight and strength. Cathy was not reassured because he had to admit she could die before then. Since nothing could be done for the time being, Cathy decided with Larry's approval to take the baby home. When Joe heard the rumor that Megan was leaving the hospital he called Jim to voice his objection, afraid no one would hear her if she had an attack at night, but Jim told him that this was Cathy's decision and he had no rights. Viki decided that if she had a baby Joe wouldn't spend so much time concerned with Cathy and Megan, so she went to the doctor and had tests to determine her fertility. Vinnie was finally going to marry Wanda Webb, but had to take a firm step with Wanda when she claimed they couldn't be married on their planned date because their astrological charts say something bad would happen.

Wanda decided she'd rather be married on St. Valentine's Day anyway.

Victor was having trouble adjusting to the fact that his son-in-law was the father of another woman's baby. Since Joe and Viki would soon be moving to their remodeled carriage house, Victor asked Matt McAllister, his protege, to stay on in his huge home, Llanfair, if he had decided to commit himself to staying on in Llanview. Matt had tried to keep Dorian from being depressed after she was dismissed from the hospital for negligence. Her old friend John Douglas had put up the money so that she might go into private practice, but she needed a reference from Jim Craig in order to be employed as a doctor to local industries. After Jim consented, he told Larry that Dorian felt she was the injured party instead of Larry who spent much time in jail because Dorian's silence caused him to stand trial for Rachel's death which was, in fact, her fault and Mark's. When John asked her why she bothered to stay in Llanview if she obviously felt the way she did, Dorian said she intended to survive here and would use any means to do so. Steve offered John a better position in Llanview with the paper, but John had to consider it carefully because he felt he would become too involved with Dorian if he was so close.

Eileen was now feeling very guilty about having taken Ben as her lover.

Search For Tomorrow Written by: Ann Marcus Produced by: Mary-Ellis Bunim Raney Wesner, Stephanie’s stepmother and housekeeper, met with Jo and told Jo that Dave Wilkins had admitted to her that Wendy was his child, not Tony's, but Raney asked Jo to keep her out of this because Stephanie would send her away and there would be nobody to look after Wendy. Jo promised to keep Raney's name out of it. Jo thought she had a chance to be rid of Stephanie when the nurse Stephanie had been filling in for was ready to come back and there were no jobs avaflable at the hospital. When Jo told Stephanie, Stephanie said she would take any job but Jo replied there were none. Stephanie heard about a job as head nurse 40 miles away, said she would apply, but didn't, and told a nurse friend the job was filled. Stephanie ran to Tony with her plight, saying Jo was being vindictive and trying to keep Tony from Wendy. When Tony asked Jo to give Stephanie a job, she refused because there were none available, so Tony went to Bob Rogers who created a job for Stephanie as Tony's nurse. Tony began to sleep in the den. Jo, finally having to tell someone, explained the situation to Stu. They tried to figure out what to do and Stu suggested paying Dave Wilkins to tell the truth. AgaInst her better judgement, but desperate, Jo wrote a check for $5000 and Stu gave it to Dave, pointing out that the check was postdated and they would stop payment if Dave didn't tell Tony by that date. Dave took the check to Stephanie, who said if her plan worked she could give him $15,000. Dave gave her Jo’s check and Stephanie gave it to Tony saying it was a bribe for Dave to lie and say Wendy was his own.

Jo had everyone, except Tony, frantic when she disappeared for several days. To John, Tony described Jo as impulsive and erratic, generally painting an uncomplimentary picture. Tony again went to Stephanie for consolation, and finally, after several days absence, Jo called dristraught Stu. Jennifer's constant needed to be with him and her complete dependence on him for support was wearing heavily on Scott. He finally convinced her to see psychiatrist Wade Collins because he needed Wade's evaluation for the hearing. Wade found that Jennifer's complete dependence on Scott stemed from a teenage incident when her father refused to protect her from the advances of a business contact. Jennifer wanted someone to always protect her. Wade diagnosed Jennifer as a manic-depressIve with schizoid tendencies, who was also a psychopath - one who couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong. Scott told Wade he couldn’t carry on his charade of loving Jennifer much longer, because he was losing his wife Kathy. Wade called Kathy in and explained again that only Scott could keep Jennifer from killing herself, which Kathy couldn’t accept, saying Jennifer was only using that as a ploy to control everyone. Scott and Jennlfer ran into Kathy and Sam Hunter at dinner. Later, as Kathy was entertaining Sam over brandy in her room, Scott arrived and demanded Sam leave. To avoid a scene, Kathy asked him to go. Scott made an advance which Kathy repelled in anger, telling him she might have been able to get Hunter to transfer their case to another judge, but Scott had ruined that by his treatment of Hunter. Scott was having trouble at the office, forgetting appointments, losing material, popping tranquilizers because of the awful pressure of juggling the two women. John reported this to Kathy who went to Scott, told him she loved him and would stick with him through the hearing. Mr. Pace, meanwhile, had told Scott that he would ruin him if Jennifer didn't get a suspended sentence, but Kathy's pledge to stick with him made it easier to deal with Jennifer during the remaining time before the hearing. The pressure caused Scott to offend Judge Trainer and she sentenced him to 5 days for contempt of court. She then sentenced Jennifer to 5-15 years in prison. Wade told Liza that Jennifer would be eligible for psychiatric review in 3 months. Scott was released on a habeas corpus in time to see Jennifer before she went off to prison. She again insisted he told her he loved her, and he did. Kathy feelt their marriage was over because she hadn't heard from Scott, and considered renting Patti and Len Whiting's old house.
