Members Gray Bunny Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's interesting how the numbers could fluctuate up through the late 70's, not just as No. 1, but all throughout the rankings. Thanks for posting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted April 11, 2015 Members Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I wonder what story was going big in the summer of '74 on AMC? Anyone know? I believe that's the year Margo Flax had her infamous facelift. Edited April 11, 2015 by Pine Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saynotoursoap Posted April 11, 2015 Members Share Posted April 11, 2015 This was the period in which Phil returned from the dead and found true love Tara married to best friend Chuck. Phil was devastated and went to bed with Erica. Around the time of the above ratings, late summer/early fall 1974, Erica discovered that Phil had made her pregnant. He was desperate to reunite with Tara, but would not because she and Chuck had a child together. Of course, the kid was actually Phil's too, fathered the night before he left for Vietnam. Phil agreed to marry Erica, and Ruth, who knew the truth about Tara and Phil's child, admitted this to Tara and begged her to reveal the paternity before Phil married Erica, as he would not marry her with the knowledge that he already had a kid with the woman he really loved. This played out over weeks, with the audience on pins and needles as to whether or not Phil, Tara, and their baby would be reunited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
