I always Found it Funny Like Poor MacDonald Carey was Stuck Playing Leading Man to Older Actresses, like On Hazzard (1948) to Paulette Goddard 3 years older than Him or Let's Do It Again (1951) to 10 years older Claudette Colbert, and Playing the Father of A Grown Up, the actress Who Played Phoebe on All About Eve don't remember her name but she wasn't more than 15 years younger than him, and On The Original Days Pilot the Actress who would've Played Alice was 3 years older than Him As Well!

Marlena and Mickey return to the sanitarium room after their walk in the rain. There is a closeness now between them that they didn't have before. Mickey is ambivalent about Mike- sometimes he feels nothing for the boy, and then again he feels love as a father for him. Tom goes to the sanitarium to talk to Marlena about Mickey. Marlena warns Tom that no one must play games with Mickey. He needs total honesty if he is to get well. What about Linda? Is she lying to Mickey? Tom says Linda will do anything she can to break up Maggie's marriage and win Mickey back for herself. Maggie comes to the sanitarium to see Mickey but Marlena is there and she talks to her first. Maggie is very honest about her fear of Linda's intentions. Marlena warns her that she can expect nothing from Mickey at the moment. Maggie goes in to see him and he is very sweet to her. He knows Mike took her dancing and he says he would like to do the same the next time Marlena gives him a night on the town. Maggie is aglow with happiness.

In Mickey's sanitarium room, Mickey tells Marlena he wants to go dancing with his wife. Marlena tells Mickey she was very pleased with his first trip outside of the sanitarium. Marlena tells him that he's been making progress. She says she'll okay letting him take Maggie out, but asks why he changed his mind, since Dr. Powell told her that Mickey had said he didn't want to.  Mickey says because of guilt. He tells Marlena that Bill performed surgery of Maggie so she could walk again. He says he gave Maggie a red dress and dancing slippers and wants to keep his promise to her. Marlena says she'll call Maggie and make the arrangements. As Marlena heads into the hall, she sees Dr. Powell and tells him Mickey is having too much family pressure. Powell suggests he and Marlena drive into town and meet with Maggie first before she okays Mickey's trip. She calls Maggie and sets up a meeting at Doug's Place. Later, at Doug's Place, Marlena sees Don with Julie and says that he took her advice to go after her. Don says that Marlena is an observant one. Marlena says she has to be in her business. Marlena congratulates Don when he tells her that he is going to marry Julie. Powell shows up and Robert escorts him and Marlena to their table. Maggie and Bill arrive and Maggie is ecstatic that Mickey wants to take her out dancing. She tells Maggie that she needs to act casual with Mickey. Powell and Maggie exit. Marlena can sense Bill is uptight. Marlena tells Bill that Mickey is ready to be alone with Maggie. Marlena senses Bill's hostility. He tells Marlena it's because Mike got drunk and ended up at Linda's apartment. Marlena asks Bill why she's been getting referals from Laura's regular patients, but Bill doesn't want to talk about it. He says Mike's rejection was the final straw for Laura. She's closing the door on her work, on everyone. Marlena says whenever Laura is ready for therapy, she'd be happy to do it. When Bill again calls her Dr. Evans, she tells him to call her Marlena. And he says to call him Bill. Marlena says that accoding to her mother, she's been analyzing her friends since she was in high school. Bill says that sounds a lot like Laura. Marlena jokes and says no one would go out with Laura in high school either then. Don passes by the table, startled to see the switch in "dates" from Powell to Bill, and says hello to Bill and Marlena.

@JAS0N47  these little Marlena summaries are so enjoyable.   Thank you for taking the time to post them for us to enjoy.

[Paul Raven]

Thanks also. Not Marlena related, but the summary where Tommy talked about his situation answered a question I always had as to whether the show addressed that two of the Horton sons had experienced amnesia. Bill was stretching credibility there by repeating a storyline a few years later. But he got away with it.

You're welcome, Slick & Paul. Glad you are enjoying them!!

[Joseph]

Thanks for all the summaries, also I was looking up the weddings section of your page, do you still have any video recording of Jessica's Wedding back in 1982??? The clip appointed there is no longer available 

[JAS0N47]

I posted links I could find of the weddings many years ago, so probably most have been removed from YouTube by now.

[Joseph]

Ok thanks

Cast: Tom, Alice, Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Mike, Linda, Marlena, Janice.
Sets: Maggie's Bedroom, Horton Living Room, Mickey's Sanitarium Room & Waiting Area Outside, Doug's Place Bar Area.

 

At the sanitarium, Mickey is dressing for the evening, uptight about the whole thing. Linda enters, presumably to wish him luck for an enjoyable evening. Marlena enters, Linda exits. Marlena gives Mickey some money Tom has dropped by to pay for the night out. Mickey is touched by his father's thoughtfulness, has a beginning of awareness there are other people in the world. Linda waits for Marlena outside Mickey's room, wants to know why Marlena called her. Marlena says she has to know Mike better if she's to help Mickey, and she understands Linda is the only one who seems able to get close to the boy. Julie comes to Doug's Place early to meet Marlena, who asked to see her. Doug plays his little cool game, and Julie tries to respond, but we sense the sparks that are always between the two. Marlena arrives, thanks Julie for being here tonight, when Mickey shows up with Maggie. Julie is doubtful, but Marlena assures her Mickey needs to face the past and the people in it. She also congratulates Julie on her engagement to Don.
