Some of this seems wild by soap standards of the day.

Yeah, this is what made me do a double blink: "Tracey's sister, Faye Bannister, failed to wipe herself out in a suicide attempt but is grieviously injured. Her recovery Is poor because she knows that her Illegitimate daughter, Lisha, hates her"

I'm intrigued if anyone listened to Young Dr Malone in 1958-1960 and watched the TV version considering they had different storylines.

I always feel like these write ups tend to take a creative take on what actually happened on screen because a lot of it would've probably been played by subtext rather than doing it blatantly and obviously. It's like when Carolyn got sexually assaulted by Adam on Dark Shadows - we barely saw anything and the aftermath was mostly her wandering down the stairs, dazed and confused. It's obvious what happened to astute viewers, but probably not for the kiddie ones.
