Jill's husband Frank (Daniel Hugh Kelly) is in the background and the character who was as poorly conceived as he was named, Dakota Smith (Christopher Durham), is in the foreground.  I am amused by artist's choice to have Frank and Jill be barefoot, while Dakota is wearing shoes but is depicted as bare chested.  I don't think most accomplished sailors like Dakota would be wearing Reebok's on deck.

This one's funny because the text says that it's "like no other series done before", and then the ad looks exactly like the ad for Texas, with the dominate woman at the center top.

Also, I know neither of us were fans of this soap, but what are the chances that one of the plots was about an interracial gay love affair with the Gorton's fisherman? Now, that would be like nothing I've ever seen before!
