IIRC, Linda wasn't just Mickey's secretary; she was his mistress, too.

At the time, Mickey was married to Laura, but Linda was determined to steal him away, and even claimed he fathered her daughter, Melissa. Blood tests, however, would reveal that Jim Phillips, not Mickey, was Melissa's biological father. (Plus, there's the fact of Mickey's sterility, which I don't think he would discover until he learned Bill was Mike's real daddy.)

Jim and Linda married, then left town. Linda, however, returned to Salem several years later and eventually remarried, to Bob Anderson, who had previously married (and divorced) Phyllis and Julie.

As for Phyllis, she came to Salem with Bob and their daughter, Mary. She and Bob moved Julie into their home after Julie's then-husband, Scott Banning, died at Anderson Construction. Phyllis would come to regret that decision, however, once Bob became attracted to Julie.

Once Phyllis and Bob divorced (after she tried to shoot Julie, but shot Mary instead), she married Neil Curtis, whom she genuinely loved, but who nonetheless was a gambling addict, and in love with Amanda. Needless to say, Phyllis and Neil's marriage was doomed from the start.

IIRC (I'm trying to remember from all the stuff I've read about DAYS over the years), Phyllis gave birth to Neil's son, but there were complications, and the child died. Neil began having an affair w/ Mary, who was supposedly involved with Chris Kositchek. Phyllis thought telling Chris about the affair would be a good way to get back at Mary. However, when Chris not only forgave Mary but continued seeing her, Phyllis became fed up, divorced Neil and left town.

Some time later, Phyllis returned to Salem in order to take care of Bob, whose health was failing. She and Bob were supposed to remarry, but he died at Mary's wedding to Alex Marshall. Mary blamed Phyllis for her father's death; Phyllis left town again.

Phyllis returned one more time after Mary was murdered by the Salem Strangler (ironically, Chris' brother, Jake). Mary left her part of Anderson Manufacturing in her will. Phyllis, though, has not been seen or heard from since.

Yep, lol. In 1984, Linda posed as Madame DuPrix in order to buy up many of the local businesses in Salem. This was several years after her marriage to Bob had basically imploded, and she left town with Melissa in order to stay in his will. Linda wanted Melissa's shares of Anderson Manufacturing, and when she didn't get them, she led her to think she was sleeping with Melissa's boyfriend, Pete Jannings, as revenge. (Some mother, huh?)

Also, Linda encouraged Alex to burn down the Anderson plant, so they could collect on the insurance policy. However, someone (Larry Welch?) found out, and then blackmailed the two. After that, Linda was forced to leave again; and she, like Phyllis, has not been seen or mentioned since.

    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.
