Swift said: "But, isn't funny that they're all back in Florida, but nobody mentions this is where Reva went nuts and drove off a bridge. It seems like it might trigger some memories." Hilarious!! 'Tis a shame it didn't retrigger the same behavior as well. In a gray Volvo. -

1976 Pt 6 Barbara, having promised Brad not to tell Leslie the truth, tells Laurie about Brad’s condition, explaining that somebody has to know what’s happening to him. Laurie tells Brad she knows and pleads with him to tell Leslie. Laurie’s publisher wants her to tour for her new book, but she’s adamant that it be published under an alias so no one will associate her with it. Lance and Laurie’s relationship is deepening despite their frequent verbal jabs at each other, and he’s decided to relocate in Genoa City. He calls his mother, Vanessa, reporting he’s rented an estate on Lake Geneva so she can get outside. Vanessa, a veiled recluse, was disfigured in a fire years ago when she saved Lance from a burning building. The fire marshal had determined that a child had been playing with matches in the room he shared with his younger brother, Lucas. When Vanessa reminds Lance of what he owes her, he gently tells her that Lucas was driven away by guilt, and if he ever returns she will have to face the reality that Lucas started the fire. Vanessa protests that this was never proven. Vanessa moves into Lance’s new home, where a suite of rooms has been prepared for her, and adds her own finishing touch: a one-way window into the living room, concealed behind a painting. With bills continuing to pile up, Jill is growing desperate about finding a job. As no hair-stylist positions are open, she accepts a manicurist spot in a hotel barbershop. Snapper learns where his sister is working and drops by just as a young, good-looking man is offering Jill two hundred dollars to go out with him. Snapper nearly beats him up and drags Jill out of the shop. She’s upset over losing the job until Derek Thurston, a customer at the Allegro, overhears her plight and hires her as an assistant at his hairdressing shop. As the day of the police lineup approaches, Pegey is thinking of backing out, but Chris firmly tells her her by doing that she may be paving the way for another woman’s being raped. Peggy arrives at the station with her father and Chris, and just before the lineup is scheduled to begin, Ron walks up to her and introduces himself, expressing his sorrow at what's happened to her. Peggy shows no emotion. At the lineup Peggy looks at all the men in the line and asks that they whisper “Don’t scream. I won't hurt you ‘ Peggy identifies Ron and then rushes at him and starts pummeling him with her fists. He’s placed under arrest. Stuart is concerned with Peggy’s identification, wondering if Chris’s obsession had. anything to do with it. Jen is surprised that Peggy was able to identify Ron, as she had told them it was dark and she kept her eyes closed. But when they question’ her, Peg insists she saw and heard Ron and she will never be able to forget what he did. Ron’s bail has been set at one hundred thousand dollars, requiring that ten thousand dollars be posted in cash. Nancy has nine thousand dollars in bonds “that her mother left her—Chris’s search for her family uncovered this—and the judge agrees to reduce bail to that much. Chris flies out to see Mrs. Sharon Ralston, the woman involved in the rape/burglary charges before Nancy and Ron were married. Mrs. Ralston refuses to say anything to Chris, explaining that she’s married now and has two children. -

Thanks @Paul Raven That Pat story sounds like a lot of trash. Not sure why there was a rut of middle-aged female patients scheming to get men on soaps at this time. I guess at least Pat didn't have Diana raped, like on The Doctors. Did Leslie stay in that penthouse? I sometimes forget what a cheesy introduction Monica had to the show. Mr and Mrs Intern indeed. -

GH 1976 Pt 3 Peter’s new patient, sculptress Patricia Lambert, begins to accept that her suicide attempt was due to her believing herself unlovable. When Peter tries to help her see that she can find love, she replies that the only man who could love her is her psychiatrist. Peter has warned his wife, Diana, to avoid involvement with Pat, but since Pat has done a sculpture of Diana’s daughter Martha, she feels she must show appreciation. Pat pumps Diana about her personal life, and Diana allows that she and Peter have been through hell, but they came through still loving each other and have a happy marriage. When a local newspaper dredges up the murder of Phil Brewer, Diana is upset that the pain isn’t behind them yet. Phil fathered Martha, by rape, and Peter and Diana hope the child won’t have to know. Pat, with an artist’s eye, notices the resemblance between the newspaper picture of Phil and Martha, and decides to see what she can dig up, to see how good the Taylors’ marriage really is. Pat uses Beth as an unknowing pawn in her attempt to hurt Diana, by asking Beth to pose for her, then stealing Peter’s gold penknife and leaving it where Beth will find it. Beth, now suspicious of all men, rushes off to tell Diana. Diana assures Beth that she’s wrong, but asks to borrow Peter’s knife. He replies that he lost it. Her anger surprises Peter. Deciding she has given Beth enough time, Pat manages to return the knife to Peter’s office unseen, and pretends to find it on the floor. When Diana admits why she was so angry, Peter asks Pat if she borrowed it. But she’s ready for this; she has purchased an identical knife, right down to the monogrammed initials, and explains that it’s a gift for a Peter Talbot. Then she hysterically cries that perhaps she should slash her throat with it instead, and dramatically runs from his office. As Pat had hoped, Peter blames Diana for lack of faith. He is interrupted by Pat’s carefully timed phoned-in suicide threat. Guilt-ridden, Peter rushes to her assistance. Seeing her through this, Peter decides there is too much personal involvement in this case and tells Pat he'll have to turn her case over to another therapist, for her own good as well as the good of his marriage. But Pat is not letting him go that easily, and manages to interrupt a celebration between Peter and Diana (they are toasting their solution to the Pat problem) with yet another suicide declaration. Despite Diana’s insistence this is another trick, Peter rushes to Pat. But Diana follows, and walks in to find Pat trying to seduce Peter. She angrily denounces Pat as Peter orders her to leave. He then tells Pat that many patients fall in love with their doctors but he can’t treat her any longer. Peter considers Diana’s following him to Pat’s a shocking exhibition of lack of trust, and tells Leslie he’s available to be psychiatric consultant for her free clinic. When she reminds him that this work, together with his regular practice, will leave him almost no free time, he makes it clear that that’s just what he wants. To help her over the loss of her daughter, Cam presents Leslie with the penthouse apartment in the exclusive new Top of the Towers residence skyscraper and plans a trip to Europe. But after a period of happiness and good health at home, Laura seems to be suffering asthmatic attacks, and Barbara finally calls Leslie, saying it might be best for Laura if visits from Leslie become a regular part of Laura’s routine. Cam returns from a business trip to find Leslie once more immersed in Laura’s life, and is furious when she informs him she can’t make the international-merger celebration in Hong Kong, where she is to be guest of honor, because Laura has a school play that day. He angrily tells her he can’t, as she suggests, change the date, and he leaves for another business trip in a fury. When Leslie calls to tell him she has reconsidered and will be with him in Hong Kong, she’s unaware that her call has found him in bed with his secretary—a long-standing and frequent situation. But when Cam returns from New York, Leslie tells him she has changed her mind again; she can’t disappoint Laura. The final blow to Cam is when Leslie greets his news about a secluded mountain retreat with the rejoinder that Laura will spend the summer there with them. Cam, who purchased the place so he and Leslie could spend weekends there alone, decides to get Laura out of their lives once and for all. Audrey has recovered from her suicide attempt physically but not emotionally. Realizing that she needs to come to terms with her sense of failure, she decides to take a short vacation alone. Tommy, upset by the separation from Jim, takes the news of her plans badly, claiming that first she got rid of the only father he’s ever known and now she’s walking out on him. Steve tells Jessie he can’t tell Audrey he loves her at this time, as she would assume that it was pity he felt. Audrey’s vacation serves its purpose when she realizes she has fallen into the trap of self-pity. She arranges to return immediately and take over as superintendent of student nurses. Steve Hardy is pleased to welcome Drs. Jeff and Monica Webber to the General Hospital staff as the first appointees to the newly created “Mr. and Mrs. Intern team.” Steve can see that Jeff is tense and upset every time Steve mentions Rick, Jeff’s brother, who was reported killed in a plane crash in Africa last year. Rick and Monica had been in love, but shortly after Rick’s reported death, she married Jeff. Nobody knows that Rick, part of a medical-mission team, has been kept prisoner by Lamundan revolutionaries for the past ten months, following the crash near the guerrilla headquarters. Jeff’s angry accusation of Dr. Rex Pearson for making passes at Monica is the first of many indications that the Webber marriage isn’t perfect. Jeff makes a fast enemy when Pearson’s needling him about a prescription error and Monica result in Jeff’s flooring Rex with one swing. Terri Arnett, Jeff’s widowed sister, opens a nightclub, Terri’s Place, in Port Charles, with financial backing from Cam. She and Leslie have become good friends. Terri is overcome on being notified that Rick is alive; he was found and freed by government troops when they overran the revolutionaries’ headquarters. Monica’s happiness at the news is clouded by her apprehension about the lie she told Jeff following the news of Rick’s death. Rick had written her saying it was all over, she should find someone else. When Me the report came, Monica read the letter to Jeff, substituting a marriage commitment for his good-bye. Monica desperately arranges to meet Rick en route, to beg his silence. She doesn’t know, of course, that Rick wrote this letter to free her because his mission was long and dangerous, or that it was only the memory of her that kept him alive during the months of captivity. Monica, having told Jeff she is going to St. Louis to see a friend, meets Rick in New York, where he’s changing planes, and painfully explains the situation. Rick conceals the fact that he still loves her and was - coming home to marry her, and assures her that Jeff and Terri will not learn the truth from him. But Jeff quickly learns that Monica was in New York to meet Rick’s plane, and he takes his bitterness out on his brother. Rick is very upset by this but can’t go back on his promise to Monica and explain. Steve, an old family friend, offers Rick an appointment as a senior staff doctor, but Rick, now not knowing what his life will be, since his plans have all been destroyed, is reluctant to commit himself. -

I am so over these reboots that on the one hand, want to trade off the nostalgia for the original and then change everything anyway. So those who liked the original will most likely be disappointed in the changes and it doesn't mean anything to newer viewers who have no connection. Maybe if they do have some knowledge of the original they will be turned off, thinking that it's some irrelevant old person's show. Anyone who watched and liked 7th Heaven would be way out of the desired demo by now.
