It was interesting to me that for the Love bible Nixon already felt (maybe ABC had already asked for this) that she map it out up to the cliffhanger for the Olympics break. Also interesting the references already to the movie pilot (she constantly says "we have to remind audiences of this in case they didn't see the movie" etc) the movie of course is credited Story by Agnes Nixon, teleplay by Marland and Mulcahey.
You're right that the DID element to Lilly's story isn't there yet, although there's SOME suggestion of it in the bible (Lilly acting very differently in certain situations--but really that could just be a response to trauma in general.)
Didn't Marland pen, or want to pen, a multiple personalities story for Jane Elliot's Carrie when he was at Guiding Light? I don't remember the details except I think he left the show in part because the network had an issue with it? (Elliot of course was also on New Day in Eden though I'm not sure if it was a major role or not.)
(Thanks for the details on New Day in Eden--for all the interesting or major storylines that show had, it's a shame that the only full episode and clips we have for the show are... well pretty boring story wise lol.)
Of course having Lilly's multiple be with Curtis while Lilly is with Jack does have remnants of a switch on Nixon's original Vicki/Nicki storyline (except Nicky was "slumming it" with lower class Vince, not one of the richest family members around.)
