Ryan's Hope  

Seneca added up the months and realized that Frank can't possibly be the father of Jill's baby. Despite her promise to Maeve, Dee ran off with Roger and left a note asking that no one try to stop her. Jack, suspicious of Dee's motives, found the letter. He grew sour when Ryan sister Kathleen arrived with her brood for the holidays. At the last minute, Pat convinced Dee not to sail to Europe with Roger. Jill and Seneca made a pact not to reveal the paternity of her child until after it is born. Johnny let the cat out of the bag and told Jack that Mary is carrying the only child Jack may be capable of fathering. Pat returned with Dee from Boston but felt guilty for being intimate with her. New Year's Eve at Ryan's Bar was a singing and boozing affair.

While Pat and Faith spent a loving weekend at her beachhouse, Dee insisted to Father McShane and Bobby that she's pregnant. Seneca was furious that Jill had left for a date with Frank, only moments later Jill was rushed to the hospital with signs of having a possible miscarriage.  Against Seneca's wishes, Jill left the hospital, slipped on ice, and began miscarrying. Mary was furious that Jack consulted Roger about a bypass operation, even though Roger's opinion was the same as Alex and Clem's. Pat admitted his love to Faith. Bobby advised Dee to have an abortion. Jack accused Mary and Alex of having an affair in Alex's country house, where they were stranded during a storm. Dee went to pieces when she learned Pat and Faith were engaged. Jill was saved from a miscarriage once again but is confined to her hospital bed. Johnny suggested that Jack and Mary annul their marriage. Jack insisted he's seeking an annulment after consulting with Father McShane.  After learning that she is pregnant with Pat's child, Dee agreed to  divorce Frank.  Seeking a quickie divorce, Frank headed for the Dominican Republic.

Cody caught Deborah snooping in Elliot’s files and convinced him that a “killing prayer” must be delivered to Deb.  Geraldine accepted Raven back in the fold after Logan and Raven agreed to marry. Wade blabbed to Miles that he had an indiscretion with Nicole and could prove it photographically.  Bill exhumed Denise’s body and Diana left the Children and moved in with the Karrs. Cody forced Joanie to slip Deborah a sleeping pill.  Cody and Albert abducted her and planned to dump her in the river. Denise’s second autopsy revealed she’d been given two injections.  April’s sessions with the prison psychiatrist revealed that her premonitions evolved from the influence of her mother and a house that April claims was haunted.  Diana developed a father fixation for Mike.  Miles and Nicole burned Wade’s video tape. Albert drowned Cody instead of Deborah when Steve and Elliot came to the rescue.  All of the Children murders had been taken over by Cody without Elliot’s knowledge.  Raven and Logan named their baby Jamey, but Logan put off an immediate wedding.  April’s cellmate, Hannah, convinced her they could pull a jailbreak.  Nancy fretted about Diana’s attentions to Mike. Gus made a deathbed confession that he had killed his own daughter, Denise, because she planned to kill Miles and commit suicide.  Before April heard that she had been cleared, she escaped prison.  Miles and Nicole argued when she admitted she had peeked at Wade’s videotape before destroying it.  Winter asked Margo for a job.  April made her way to the house that she considers the source of her psychic powers.
