General Hospital, February/March 1978

FEBRUARY 1978

"Abc promoted its daytime products just as heavily. The campaign title " Love in the afternoon" teased audiences with glimpses of upcoming serial episodes, but Abc didn't limit the run of such spots. New spots are produced daily."

"It's too soon to measure the efficiency of such high-powered plugs, but for at least one week in January, Abc's daily averages won over CBS. And in Demographics, Abc had the Top-3 Ranking Serials: All My Children, Ryan's Hope, and One Life To Live,"

"Several weeks ago, Tom Donovan was quietly and unceremoniously removed as producer of General Hospital and replaced by Gloria Monty. Monty and her new crew of writers have sharpened the story focus and recent ratings have indicated a slight recovery."

February 8, 1978: "Laura tries a new look"

February 10, 1978: "Laura needs more than Scotty has to offer"

February 14, 1978: "Laura longs for her real family" (Barbara Vining)

February 22, 1978: "Laura's disappearance (She ran away to Barbara Vining's) ----gives Bobbi her opportunity, and Lesley's problems with Laura have just begun"

March 6, 1978: "Scorned by Lesley, David finds a willing Laura"

And, on February 27, 1978: Gail !!!!

April’s surgery was scheduled for sooner than expected. Logan warned Draper that Raven is chummy with April to keep tabs on Draper. Nancy was offered a job on a local news show. Before April’s operation, Denise threatened April and said she was not to tell about Denise’s involvement in Dane’s death. But under anesthesia, she mumbled about Dane. Raven fumed when Kevin insisted on publishing anti-crime commission statements which will ruin his political career. Raney anonymously tipped off Steve about Saxon’s secret bank accounts. Deborah ordered Steve to stop badgering Tony. April’s operation was a success. She told Draper she wasn’t dreaming about Denise and Kathryn Dane’s death. Deborah split with Steve, who dated Maggie, leaving Logan in the lurch. Raney confessed his love for Deborah. He hired a thug named Chip. Raven convinced Kevin to cancel his crime-commission report. Nancy turned down a TV offer and suggested Nicole. Miles fell into Nicole’s arms. Denise spotted Miles kissing Nicole after she got a TV job. Draper assured April that he didn’t propose because she was ill and they set an April wedding date. Charlie refused to be bought off by Denise. Raney admitted his love for Deborah and hired Chip, a crooked crony. April was suspicious of Denise when Charlie died from drugs. Denise told Nicole that Miles has a mistress, Winter Austin. Nicole’s TV boss, Ben Everett, is interested in more than her news reading abilities. Jackson, one of Saxon’s flunkies, either fell or was pushed from a window after Chip and Raney threatened him.

(by Nancy Reichardt)

Kevin decides to reveal in an exclusive interview his displeasure with crime commission’s proposals. Denise warns Nicole to stay away from Miles.

Spying on a former Claremont employee, Charlie, in the hospital corridor, Denise demands to know if he told April anything about Catherine Damon’s death. A cringing Charlie claims he didn’t mean to say anything wrong. Miles is incensed when Denise says she went to visit Nicole. Dan Roper is concerned because Owen Crimmons has not come through with a promised donation to the clinic. Draper fears April might die on the operating table and asks her to marry him before the surgery: she refuses.

April survives open-heart surgery. Kevin decides not to oppose the crime commission. Breaking off with Deborah, Steve starts seeing Logan’s secretary, Maggie. Deborah stops resisting Rainey’s romantic advances. Recognizing a man who once tried to mug him, Rainey gives the would-be robber, named Chip, some cash and offers him a job. Maggie warns Logan his love for Raven can only ruin his life.

Raney plans to make Deborah his wife. Tony hires Chip to keep a second set of books. After a visit from Chip, Johnson “jumps” out of a 20-story window. Logan panics when an uninvited Raven drops by while Steve is visiting, but Steve assures him he will not tell Kevin. Steve is determined to expose Tony’s crooked operation. Unable to buy Charlie’s silence about the night Catherine Damon died at the Claremont Clinic, Denise looks for the most permanent way to keep his mouth shut.

Signaling Edna to splash hot chocolate on Ray Gardner’s face, Phil gets the jump on the crazed kidnapper and captures him. Chuck undergoes a delicate surgery to remove the bullet lodged near his spine. Believing he ruined Chuck’s life when he returned from Vietnam and married Tara, Phil plans to step out of the picture. Tara, finding Phil at the chapel in which they married themselves so many years ago, assures Phil he is the one she loves. With Chuck’s life out of danger, Charles tells Donna that Charlie is really Phil’s son. Chuck and Donna resolve to start their family anew, but Donna wonders if Chuck and Tara still care for each other. Phil learns Charlie knows that he is his father.

Although he now has a dangerous infection, Chuck delays his treatment so Charles won't postpone his medical trip to Europe. After Charles leaves Pine Valley, Chuck - now on the brink of death – is finally put on antibiotics. Phil and Tara decide to reconfirm their wedding vows by recreating their marriage at the chapel years ago. Kelly discovers Eddie and Claudette playing around.

Mistaking Donna for Tara, a delirious Chuck reveals he loves Tara and considers his marriage to Donna a mistake. Ellen agrees to a ski weekend with Dan, Brooke and Mark if the girls share a bedroom separate from the guys. Erica wants to break up the ski trip so Mark’s mother will invest in her disco. Tom discovers Erica is covering up her disco plans and is lying about wanting to start a family. In a secluded cabin with Wally, Devon has contractions. Estelle asks for an annulment and Billy Clyde makes threats.

With only Wally to assist, Devon gives birth to a three-week premature baby girl. Although Wally believes they will keep the child, Devon still wants to give it up to adoption. Taking Estelle’s advice, Donna decides to stay with Chuck and say nothing about his love for Tara that he revealed while delirious. Myrtle is confused when Kelly buys two identical dresses. Unbeknownst to Ellen, Brooke sets her sights for Mark during a ski weekend with Dan, Mark and Ellen. Erica persuades Tom that it was Dr. Clayder’s gynecological assistant, Dr. Baker, she saw and that she forgot to tell Tom Dr. Clayder was out of town.

One Life to Live

by Jon-Michael Reed

Brad found Adam unconscious on his office floor. Things looked bleak for Viki as her trial got under way, but while under sodium pentathol she denied killing Marco. Edwina suspected Tina wasn’t telling all about her relationship with Marco. Lynn’s jealousy of Jenny and Peter’s relationship resurfaced. Peter had to remind Brad of Jenny’s birthday. Edwina refused to be bought off with Adam’s New York job offer. Karen still lived in fear that Viki would reveal Karen’s past prostitutional activites. Tina was forced to give the D.A. a motive for Viki killing Marco by admitting Tina and Marco were an item. Beverly testified that Tina planned to skip town with Marco. Gretel gave Brad a raise after he discovered Adam has epilepsy. Brad was hounded by loan shark Lou Cardoza. Karen slugged Edwina for her smear tactics. Karen paid a former John to help locate Katrina. Edwina supplied the D.A. with a surprise witness who turned out to be a dead ringer for “dead” Marco. Lynn went on a raving mad binge. D.A. Callison’s star witness turned out to be Mario Corelli, Marco’s twin brother. Edwina questioned Karen about her “modeling” job with Talbot. Greg asked Tina to marry him, but she said they weren’t ready. Dorian put up a reward for information on Marco’s killer. Pat made a plea for help on her TV show which Katrina heard but didn’t respond to. Dorian told Lynn that any affair between Jenny and Peter was in Lynn’s mind. The judge refused to admit Marco’s tapes of Viki’s threats as evidence. Sam and Tony put off marriage until after Viki’s trial. Mario played the judge tapes he received before Marco’s murder which contained threats from Viki. But Mario told Viki and Tina he didn’t think Viki was the murderer. Brad played matchmaker for Gretel and Paul Kendall. Karen caught up with Katrina, who told her about a P.O. box which contains trial evidence. Then Katrina was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Brad borrowed money from Will to hide the fact from Jenny that he’s in debt to loan sharks. Ed gave Carla the cold shoulder after realizing she was jealous that Jack dated his new secretary. Talbot was fretful about Katrina’s knowledge of Marco’s murder.

(by Nancy Reichardt)

Under truth serum, Vicki nearly spills Karen’s past as a hooker to Larry. Although Viki remains herself under drug ---that does not necessarily prove Nikki Smith isn't hiding within her. Peter is unable to handle Melinda's jealousy of Jenny. As her trial gets under way, Vicki is losing ground in her fight to prove that she didn't kill Marco. Brad gives Peter a check so he can borrow money to buy Jenny a birthday present — but the check may be no good. Discovering Adam passed out on the floor, Brad realizes he is an epileptic. Samantha would rather not live in Tony's apartment above the restaurant, but he insists.

Mario, Marco's twin, is a surprise witness at Vicki's murder trial. Vicki wants to take the stand in her defense. An angry Karen slaps Edwina because of her biased coverage of Vicki's trial. Dorian tells Edwina she is painting herself into a corner and should realize what she is doing now may affect her for the rest of her life. Deep in gambling debts, Brad sells their stock to pay off. Adam offers Edwina a job in New York to get her out of town but she refuses. Edwina goes to the D.A. and tells him about Marco and Tina's friendship. Put on the witness stand, Tina falsely says she never planned to go away with Marco. Katrina is beaten up and raped by a drug dealer.

Shock waves go through Llanview as Marco's twin Dr. Mario Corelli takes the stand at Vicki's trial. Mario moves into Ina Hopkins' rooming house. Edwina and Karen make phony apologies to each and then Edwina springs the news that she knows Karen was much more than a model for Talbot Huddleston. Melinda asks Dorian to reassign Jenny out of Peter's pediatric service. Pat makes a television plea for anyone having information about Marco's murder to contact her. Katrina hears the plea but disappears. Gretel Cummings, Adam's assistant, and Paul Kendall meet, and it's almost hate at first sight. A handwriting expert testifies Vicki did not write the note penned by Nikki Smith.

Greg is upset when Tina befriends Mario. Karen wonders if she should reveal "all" to save Vicki from being convicted of Marco's murder. Carla hopes to rekindle the spark of love for Ed on her birthday. Ed hits the ceiling when he discovers Jack bought Carla flowers for her birthday. Samantha plans to wear her mother's bridal gown when she weds Tony. When Jenny wants to sell their stock to buy a car, Brad has to tell Will he lost the stock gambling. Will gives him $5.000 to buy a car but suggests he get professional help. Brad, resentful, says he can control his gambling whenever he wants.

Alice and Heather made arrangements to meet with Cal Jamison since Jeff was quarantined at General Hospital because of an epidemic. Tracy and Alan fretted about Edward, who has a heart condition. Monica cried on Rick’s shoulder that Edward was the only father she’d had. Lesley told Laura she was seeing a psychologist about her sexual problems with Rick. Jeff sang Ann’s praises when she donned her nurse’s uniform to help at the hospital. Beatrice Hewitt died, and Gail feared Lee could be next. Lee is improving while the search is on, headed by Mitch, to locate the epidemic carrier. Jeremy remembered all the sick people he saw in Africa. Lesley had her first session with Kassorla’s therapy group. Susan, back from New York, was interested to see Larry Joe, Heather’s ex, staying with Alice and Heather. Monica confided to Gail that she still has feelings for Rick, while Tracy taunted Alan about Rick and Monica’s close confinement. Mitch was the hero of the day when he had the needed plasma flown into Port Charles with Tracy’s aid. Mitch tracked down Luke’s chef whom everyone believed was the epidemic carrier. Meanwhile, P.J. came down with the fever since Jeremy has been staying with the Taylors. Lesley used her therapy experience in dealing with Laura but was haunted about Rick and Monica. Susan got Larry Joe drunk and learned about Heather and Jeff’s past. Monica feared facing Alan with her reawakened feelings for Rick. Gary’s book draft was accepted and Tracy convinced him to write promotional material for Mitch which irked Gina. Jeff and Anne became chummier while Susan taunted Jeff about Larry Joe and Heather. Anne suspected Jeremy was the epidemic carrier but he split from Diana and Peter’s house after overhearing that his grandmother had died. Steve came down with Lasa fever but refused treatment. Audrey pondered telling Jeff that Steve is his father. Mitch and Tracy searched for Jeremy who’s holed up in a museum. Luke scared Cal off when he came in person to get more money from Bobbie who lamented the death of her friend Chris from the fever. Monica realized the possible end to the epidemic meant leaving Rick and facing Alan. Lesley continued her therapy with Kassorla. Audrey told Jeff that Steve is his father, just as Steve’s condition improved. Cal was wounded by Wallace’s hitman, Delancey, who later died. Cal held Bobbie hostage while she treated his wound. The epidemic was halted when Mitch found Jeremy who was treated to rid his system of the virus. As the quarantine was lifted, Rick and Monica realized they are tempted by each other. Laura confessed to Lesley that she had remembered pushing David during Les’ trial, but had kept quiet. Laura now fears that Les hates her. Jeff blamed Audrey for revealing the truth about his mother’s affair with Steve.

No one knows but it appears Jeremy is the carrier of lassa fever. With Rick quarantined at the hospital, Lesley decides to start group therapy. Heather's ex-husband, Larry Joe, arrives in Glenville where Heather and her mother are staying while Jeff is involved in the epidemic crisis. Bobbie's brother Luke comes down with fever. Trying to get back in good graces at the hospital, Bobbie volunteers for crisis duty and asks to work with Lesley in the clinic. Frank Wallace orders a hitman to get Cal Jamison.

The fever epidemic continues to spread. Hoping to learn more about Heather's first marriage, Susan befriends Larry Joe. At a group therapy session, Lesley learns it's all right if she doesn't always love Laura. P.J. is showing fever symptoms. Luke is fearful when one of his workers at the disco comes down with epidemic-like symptoms. Returning from New York, Gary agrees to help Tracy write speeches for Mitch. Luke agrees to give Bobbie the $300 Cal Jamison is demanding. Jeff still thinks Heather can have more children. Jeff and Anne are growing close while staying at the hospital to help fight the epidemic.

Falling victim to lassa fever, Steve refuses to have plasma until everyone else does. Chris Jergens, Bobbie's friend and an orderly at the hospital, dies from the fever. Annie realizes Jeremy is the probable carrier — but it may be too late. Overhearing his grandmother Beatrice Hewitt has died, Jeremy runs away. Cal Jamison warns Heather he's going to call Peter and Diana to tell them he has information about their adopted son P.J. Cal contacts Diana but refuses to say what exactly he wants. When Cal shows up at Bobbie's to collect $300, Luke chases him away. Laura admits to Scotty she remembered long before Lesley took the stand that she, and not Lesley, was responsible for David Hamilton's death.

Fearing Steve is about to die from lassa fever, Audrey tells Jeff that Steve – not Lars Weber - is his natural father. A resentful Jeff recalls a childhood where he never felt a part of his family and suspects Lars may have known the truth even though Audrey assures him he did not. Steve's fever breaks and Audrey thinks he'll never forgive her for telling Jeff the truth about his parentage. Lesley is horrified to learn how long Laura withheld the information before admitting to Peter that it was she, and not Lesley, who killed David Hamilton. Suffering a minor gunshot wound in the shoulder Cal Jamison takes refuge at Bobbie's!
