I think she had a fair amount of story for Edmund/Maria, but it was dark, dark, dark (self-abortions in the bathtub...love in the afternoon indeed). Everything after Del, the Senate race, and the infertility was Broderick.

A teenage Maria got pregnant with Del's baby. He left, and she rode a horse very roughly to induce a miscarriage, then aborted her baby in the tub and buried in in the garden. I think? I don't know. She was then unable to conceive.

That's always the darker side of McTavish. I wish someone had sat down with her long ago and begged her not to write baby death/infertility stories. They were her worst. It sucks because I liked some of her other work.

I always felt that Brooke/Edmund were going to have the infertility storyline (which made sense given Brooke's history topped with the ectopic pregnancy), but when they finally decided to go with Maria/Edmund, they just made it that Maria couldn't conceive, and came up with the Del/self-abortion lame backstory.

Lorraine was gone by 1992, and she wasn't back until 1995, so anything involving Maria/Edmund until summer of 1995 was Megan.

1994-summer 1995 was the marriage, Del, the self-abortion reveal, the Senate race, Edmund's "death," and the infertility. Supposedly McTavish's stuff stopped in spring 1995, not sure though.

I do wonder about that possibly being for Brooke, although the last thing Brooke needed was another baby story.

You might be correct about Megan's material tapering off in the Spring of 1995 - I believe that the Brooke/Adam redux of 1995 was a sticking point for MM, she wanted to keep them at each other's throats - Wisner Washam I think initially stepped in and started their romance prior to LB officially coming back to the show.
