All My Children

By Nancy Reichhardt

Moments before her marriage to Tom, Erica gets a phone call from Nick but is disappointed to realize he's not proposing to her, only explaining why he's unable to attend the wedding. After receiving a last-minute dispensation, Tom and Erica are married, and planning to honeymoon in the Bahamas. Frank is pleased that Nancy has given birth to a healthy baby boy. Getting a phone call from Phil, Tara wonders if she should try to reconcile with him even though she loves Chuck. When Christina and Jeff's deal for a house falls through, Chris blames Paul and decides to get another lawyer. While riding with Estelle, Donna gets in a car-train collision and is seriously injured. Just before Donna is to undergo surgery for injury suffered in car/train crash, a distraught Chuck realizes she knows that he and Tara are lovers. Following surgery Donna remains in a coma. Jeff and Chris fight when she suggests Tara and Chuck are more than friends. Devon tells Wally she's pregnant with his child. Eddie flares when Kelly asks Linc to manage her money, and at the Chateau gets drunk and heckles her show. On their Bermuda honeymoon, Tom admits to Erica he's jealous because of her frequent references to Nick. Relieved that Estelle only received minor injuries in the car crash, Benny rushes to hospital and tries to persuade her to get divorce from Billy Clyde. But when Billy Clyde arrives at the hospital and tells Estelle how much he loves and needs her, Benny realizes there's little hope of her ever leaving Billy Clyde. Devon tells Wally she's carrying his child. Even though she slept with him only to get even with Dan, Wally says they must tell everyone they eloped weeks ago and get married as soon as possible. Chuck realizes that when Donna regains consciousness, he must continue to deceive her about his feelings for Tara. Chuck and Tara are unaware that Charlie saw them embracing. Charlie and Phoebe both play matchmaker for Chuck and Tara. Linc is hurt when Kelly changes her mind about having him escort her to Edna's for dinner. Mark and Ellen set a wedding date. Phoebe promises Billy Clyde she will keep Benny and Estelle apart. When Phoebe spreads a rumor that Mark is Mona's illegitimate son, he tells her to watch her step. Regaining consciousness, Donna thinks she is still a hooker!  Estelle is all set to leave Billy Clyde until Edna tells her that it's her Benny she has a thing for. Ellen learns Devon is carrying Wally's child. Not wanting to meddle in Linc's life, Myrtle decides to move out of his home. Talking to Jeff on the phone, Nancy points up the resemblance of baby Carl to Frank. Overhearing Kate compare her to Mary, Christina flares up, then refuses to apologize. Linc learns Eddie's strong hold on Kelly is connected to the pills he gives her.

Despite a last-minute good luck call from Nick, Erica married Tom, then honeymooned in St. Croix. Chuck left Donna at the reception in order to rendezvous with Tara, just as Chris and Jeff were headed for Tara’s for a surprise visit.  Edna made inroads with Benny.  Phil learned that Chuck and Tara were together when Charlie nearly drowned.  Devon dropped hints to Wally that they might marry.  Donna was injured in an accident.  Phoebe convinced Charles to escort her to the wedding.  Donna was in a coma after her car was struck by a train.  Estelle received minor injuries when she escaped just in time, but she told Chuck that Donna had suspected he was with Tara, and she said she’d die if he left her.  Devon told Wally she’s pregnant, and he suggested they claim that they were secretly married.  Eddie threw a drunken fit after Kelly turned over her financial affairs to Linc.  Jeff and Chris argued bitterly when she was suspicious of Chuck’s and Tara’s relationship.  Phoebe offered to help Billy Clyde keep Benny and Estelle apart. Tara and Chuck blamed themselves for Donna’s accident.  Eddie and Kelly reconciled, much to Myrtle’s annoyance.  Phoebe bargained with an indecisive Eddie to leave town with Kelly to keep Kelly away from Linc.  Phoebe enlisted Charlie’s aid to keep her informed after the boy spotted Chuck and Tara cuddling.  Wally promised Devon he would return after making arrangements to transfer from Yale to Pine Valley and then they’d put their plan into action.  Chris made a nuisance of herself with her obsession that she and Jeff move out of the Martins’.  Mark laid into Phoebe for spreading lies that he’s Mona’s illegitimate son.  He and Ellen set a wedding date.  Donna regained consciousness, but because of a partial memory loss has regressed to her prostitute days before she married Chuck.  Wally admitted to his parents that he wanted to transfer because of Devon’s pregnancy.  His parents told Adrian, Devon’s father, who told Ellen.  Edna rubbed it in to Estelle that she’s making good time with Benny.  Kelly couldn’t perform without pep pills and Eddie made it a point to let Linc know she’s addicted.  Phil returned, while Chuck pressed Tara, insisting they should be together again.

One Life to Live

By Nancy Reichhardt


When Ed goes into cardiac arrest, Jack saves his life by using an external pacemaker. Carla fears the four minutes Ed was without oxygen may have caused brain damage. Brad asks Dr. Pamela Shepherd to be his therapist. Tina thinks Viki must have known her boyfriend in California was dating her best friend but was hiding those facts from her. Marco plans to get even with Viki through Tina, seeks Tina out at the pizza parlor. Pat fends off Talbot Huddelston's advances, then tells Roger she will quit the show if Huddleston ever comes near her. Viki warns Richard to keep away from the story about Marco's massage parlor unless he has proof, — otherwise he's asking for trouble as well as a libel suit for the Banner. Paul is delighted by the way Dorian refurnished his apartment. Paul is put off by seeing an understanding Dorian change into a "dragon lady." Richard and Becky Lee refuse Dorian's offer to have their wedding at her home, which upsets Dorian because she had made the offer only at the request of Richard's mother Gwen who had hoped Dorian might do something to stop the nuptials. Marco tells Tina that Viki once suffered from multiple personality disorder and asks her not to let Joe and Viki know he is seeing her. Jenny is upset because the church tribunal put a hold on her annulment from Brad. Rejected by Jenny, Brad considers robbing a bank. Karen, upset by seeing Larry and Cathy together, takes an overdose of pills. Will and Pam are engaged. Richard squirms when his mother Gwen arrives in Llanview. Gwen pretends to adore Becky Lee but is working to make sure they never get married. Finding a semiconscious Karen in a hotel room, Larry saves her life. After Paul accuses her of being selfish and manipulative, Dorian decides to drop out of the competition for chief of hospital staff. Pat and Paul become friends. Adam Brewster, head of a multi-billion-dollar corporation, is interested in both Pat and Edwina. Ed is made police captain. Samantha wants to move out of Will's and into Tony's, but when Tony rejects her, she runs out into the rain and gets in a car accident. Brad and Jenny are brought closer together by Samantha's accident. Larry, about to be named chief of hospital staff, wonders if his future position will be too much for Karen. Edwina is surprised when Adam Brewster asks to meet her. Melinda scares Karen with her stories of a lonely doctor's wife. Ed fears he cannot hold Carla's interest the way a more sophisticated person like Jack Scott can.

Larry went to Phoenix on business and ran into Cathy.  Karen followed and assumed they’d set it up as a love meeting.  Marco decided to use Tina as a way to seek revenge on Viki.  Carla was grateful when Jack saved Ed’s life.  Pat nearly resigned after Talbot failed to seduce her and threatened to get her fired.  Mystery man Adam Brewster ordered his secretary to dig up Pat’s background.  Richard’s mother, Gwendolyn Abbott, arrived in town.  Carla dreamed that Jack romanced her.  Will and Pam announced their engagement.  Jenny resisted the advances of an author and also rebuffed Brad, who was offered an illegal job by one of his ex-cellmates.  Karen didn’t tell Larry she was in Phoenix, and when he didn’t confess about meeting Cathy, Karen took a bottle of pills.  Paul called Dorian names when he learned she had set up Karen.  Adam hired Alister Hughes to trail Pat and also to investigate Edwina’s background.  Jack noticed that Carla was jealous of his girlfriend, Lila.  Larry and Cathy had decided to go separate ways.  Gwendolyn was a guest of Dorian and after meeting Becky she vowed to break up the wedding plans.  Pat nixed Adam’s secretary’s (Gretel) invitation to dine with Adam even if he is one of the richest men in the world.  Edwina met Adam and recognized him as someone she grew up with in a foster home.  Larry smoothed things over with Karen, but reconsidered accepting the chief of staff job because of her emotional instability.  Pat stymied Adam and Gretel by refusing to do a rehearsed TV interview with him.  Samantha saved Brad from taking part in a robbery involving Brad’s ex-cellmate.  Tony told Samantha they couldn’t have a serious relationship and she and Pam were in an auto accident.  Paul thought better of Dorian for dropping out of the hospital race. Marco had photos of Tina secretly touched up in some shoddy way.

Heather takes a leave from hospital in order to take care of P.J.. Steve fears Jeff will flunk his medical boards because of the pressure of his marriage and Les’ley's trial. In New York, Scotty and Bryan get Laura away from an East Village pimp, and help police catch the men who run the prostitution ring comprised of teenage runaways. Although Rick really thinks Laura cannot remember what happened the night David was killed, she thinks he's only trying to trick her into confessing. Diana decides to undergo risky exploratory surgery which may answer question as to why she is blind. Fearful of dying, Diana tells Peter she wants to write a will that would make Jeff and Heather the legal guardians of P.J. if anything happens to her and Peter. Gary wants out of pediatrics so he can make money. Admitting to Lesley she suddenly remembers everything, Laura fears what the police will do. Hearing the true story of David's death, the judge agrees to find Lesley innocent and promises to go easy on Laura. Diana undergoes neurosurgery, and two benign tumors are found and removed. Doctors say it will be days before they know if she can see. Cal Jamison arrives in town and Jeff goes to see him. With Gina away, Tracy shows interest in Gary. Alan admits to Monica he is unable to curb his jealousy of Rick. Jeff thinks Jamison has evidence proving Steven Lars didn't die; also thinks that Mrs. Hadley lied to Heather. Telling everything that happened the night David died, a terrified Laura awaits sentencing. With D.A. Richardson out of town, assistant D.A. Mitch Williams feels Laura's trial will be important to his career. Believing the trial will be bad publicity for the hospital, Monica fears Rick may not be named as head of the cardiac unit, and implores Alan to talk to his boss Larry Forsythe. Alan agrees to go when he realizes she will go herself if he doesn't. Scotty tells Bobbie that if she can't understand his caring for Laura, they should end their relationship.

Lesley admitted to the district attorney that she committed perjury to save Laura who confessed to Rick.  Tracy and Susan showed an interest in Gary while Gina was away on medical business.  Cal told Jeff that Stephen Lars didn’t die, and Heather allowed Jeff to think that Mrs. Hadley might have sold the baby to a black market ring because Heather never saw the death certificate.  Monica jumped on Tracy for moving in on Gary while Gina was away.  Assistant Dist. Atty. Mitch Williams was intrigued by Susan and vice versa.  Lesley was released and Laura was booked for David’s murder.  Diana went bonkers while awaiting the removal of her bandages.  Bobbie recognized Cal from her past.

Ira tells Logan he realizes that prosecuting April for Denise's murder is going to be unpopular and wonders what they should do about it.

Disbelieving her, Winter lets her know she and Logan are an item again. Deborah is suspended from police force. April tells Draper that Raven claims to be carrying his baby. Swearing it isn't true Draper goes to Raven and warns her to keep away from April. But Raven pretends to April that Draper promised to do anything to help his baby.

While Deborah, on her own, is questioning a suspected wife beater, he falls off the roof and is killed.  Mike attends Tony Saxon's funeral. Representing April for Denise's murder, Mike tells Draper that April's running away makes her look guilty. He plans to prove that Denise committed suicide. A large conglomerate buys TV station where Nicole is newscaster. Kevin, thinking Logan is the father of Raven's unborn child, considers doing away with himself. Deborah is disgruntled by two weeks' suspension from the police force.  Wade Meacham, rich Margo Huntington's financial adviser, remembers Winter as star of porno flicks. Kevin is hoping the scandal about Tony Saxon will end his own political career, and lets Raven know he plans to divorce her after the baby is born. Miles fears Margo will print something about April's disappearance in her magazine. Margo is obviously interested in Miles. A tattoo on the shoulder of the dead girl floating in the river proves she is not April. Having had a vision of Draper in a car accident, April returns to Monticello and discovers the accident was minor. She goes on trial for Denise's murder. Deborah feels Steve's proposal of marriage may be out of sympathy, not love.
