Actually it was Jonah Lockwood/Keith Whitney. But Hell yes, that Slesar storyline would be in my Top 5 favorites!! From Laurie Ann dating Jonah(Keith), to Nancy and Martha in Jamaica finding a scorpion in Nancy's bed, to the Keith Whitney reveal after falling from that tower. Jesus Lord -- that was compelling drama!!

Oh, of course. You are 100% correct. I appreciate you catching and correcting my mindless boo-boo. Having "senior moments" like this irk me, LOL. When I get too excited and type too quickly, I tend not to proof-read.🙃

Another absolutely terrifying moment was when Tango stumbled across Jonah Lockwood's true identity. As he was walking out of the apartment she shared with Laurie Ann, Tango breezily (and stupidly) taunted him by calling him "Keith." The look on his face said it all. We immediately knew Tango was done for. Then we had to wait through three more episodes before Laurie was home and looked outside the window, only to see Tango's dead body in the alley below. EEK!

The climax to the story, when Jonah chased Laurie into the tower, intent on murdering her as well, but fell to his own death, was perfection.

Actually, this plot would also be in my top five (and not just the Top 10, as I previously wrote). The only storyline I would rank above it is the Alice/Steve/Rachel story on AW. I LIVED, rather than just watched, both these tales as they unfolded.

I'm so glad you got to experience them as well! We were lucky to witness, first-hand, soaps' golden years.☺️

I've always considered the 1970s to be be soaps' finest decade. So many of the shows were burning on all cylinders. Doo you have specific shows which you felt were the very best of those years?
