Wasn't Audrey's sister Lucille still around at that point?

She left in 1975 or 76 but I'm not sure when

The Pollocks wrote out Lucille along with Lee and several others to clear the decks for the Webbers and Mark Dante.

That's a shame. I guess I always thought that Miss Wall retired.

Quite possibly that was the case but it was under the Pollocks that Lucille left town.

Was she still married to Al Weeks and he was just her offscreen husband or had he died at some point?

I didn't see any other credits post-GH, so maybe she did retire. She made one more appearance on the show in 1982, and passed in 1986.

 

In this clip, Sarah tells Emily and Jason about her brother Steven-Lars and Emily realises that Steven sounds just like the old Jason (an "easter egg" for those fans who would have realised Steven- Lars and Jason were second cousins), while Monica and Audrey talk about Monica's marriage to Jeff.

Were they teasing Nikolas and Sarah Webber? Hmm... interesting. What a class scene. The Hardy/Quartermaine families at the forefront.

They dated and the show was trying to make them the next big thing and add Lucky into the triangle.  It flopped and so did Sarah.

Ah, see, I was not aware of this. Thank you for sharing.

I think Emily McLaughlin stopped being front burner after the Phil Brewer’s murder storyline in 1975. When I work on the Daytime Serial Newsletter, I noticed she was nearly never mentioned after that. Probably the beginning of her health issue. The show went on some big changes with the Webbers eating the show since beginning 1976. Only Steve / Audrey, the Taylors and Lesley were still a prominent feature of the show amongs lots of newbies.

Jessie's final story was her romance with Dan Rooney, culminating with them going away together and discussing sexual intimacy. Jessie confessed it had been many years since she had been with a man; the last time had been with her husband. This was 1980, I believe. I thought Jessie and Dan were sweet together, but the relationship simply petered out without any fanfare. And yes, McLaughlin's health issues had begun in earnest in the mid-1970s. I remember when GH had to emergency recast her with actress Aneta Corseault in 1977. Later, the show created a minor character named Nurse Georgia Price, played  by Lisa Figus, who would step in and say Jessie's lines when McLaughlin was unable to work. Figus' Georgia  substituted for Jessie for many years, probably 1981 to 1988.

 

@vetsoapfanDid Jessie and Dan ever go all the way?

No. They went away together, and a bellman in a hotel gave Jessie a saucy wink to signify that he knew naughty plans were afoot, but Jessie and Dan never consummated their relationship as far as I know. After their mini vacation, I don't believe any focus was ever given again to their relationship. Jessie and Dan just went back to chatting occasionally at the nurses' station.

Yup, and every time they looked at each other we had to hear that "Me Loving You Loving Me" song. 🙄😝🤣😂

There were a few scenes in 1981 where Jessie was a bit put out when Dan started taking Ruby out on dates and started acting somewhat passive aggressively towards Ruby. Bobbie confronted Jessie about it (I think Bobbie pointed out that it was Jessie who decided to cool her relationship with Dan) and Jessie made up with Ruby and agreed they could both see Dan as friends. That said, from that point on I think from what I have seen Dan tended to take Ruby out more often and at some point they must have become exclusive and presumably Jessie was ok with that.
