March 1979

 



All  My  Children


by Jon-Michael Reed


Wally delivered his and Devon’s baby girl, whom he doesn’t want to put up for adoption. Brooke played up to an uninterested Mark during a ski trip with Ellen and Dan. Chris wrapped Jeff around her little finger, impressing him to buy their own house.  Mona was shocked that Erica is lining up disco investors who include Phoebe.  Russ and Nancy dated. Billy Clyde and Edna joined forces to keep Estelle and Benny apart.  Donna was haunted by Chuck’s delirious declaration of love for Tara. When his condition improved, he ordered Phoebe to begin accepting  Donna as his wife.  Maureen warned Ellen she’d cut off Mark without a penny unless Ellen dropped marriage plans.  Tom hit the roof after learning Erica has been secretly continuing with her disco plans.  He forced her to tell money-backer Maureen that the deal was off.  Jeff was delighted Chris postponed their new house signing to attend Phil and Tara’s ceremony of ex-exchanging marriage vows, then they lost the house.  Billy Clyde and Edna drugged Benny to make it look as though he’d spent the night with her. Erica offered to continue helping Maureen break up Ellen and Mark.  Kelly rebuffed Eddie’s reconciliation offer.  Kelly cared for Myrtle at home after Myrtle was briefly hospitalized with heart problems.  Erica railed against Mona’s plans to join Charles in Rome.  Billy Clyde and Edna’s set-up of allowing Estelle to find a drugged Benny in Edna’s bed backfired.  Estelle and Benny reconciled and she went off to get a divorce from Billy Clyde.  Wally insisted he wants to raise Bonnie, his and Devon’s daughter, and he made kidnapping plans.  Problems between Chris and Jeff flared up again and she suggested moving to San Francisco.  Phil was promoted to sergeant.  Wally ran off with Bonnie, unaware that the baby’s system can’t tolerate formulas.  Phoebe planned to surprise Charles in Rome, but Mona is keeping him company.  Joe urged Jeff to join Chris, who moved to San Francisco and a better job.  Kelly vowed to stay off the pep pills if God would save Myrtle, but she started experiencing withdrawal. Eddie seduced Claudette.  Ellen realized that Brooke is on Mark’s trail.  Chuck told Charlie to start calling Phil “Dad.”  Phoebe called Mona a strumpet after finding her in Charles’ hotel room in Rome.  Estelle phoned Benny with news about her Haitian divorce, but Linc said it won’t be valid unless Billy Clyde consents.  Jeff followed Chris to San Francisco.  Wally turned up at his mother’s home with Bonnie.  Ma Harriett told Wally about the baby’s allergy, which was discovered in time.  Phil was officially made a sergeant and Charlie called him “Dad.”  Billy Clyde was upset about Estelle’s divorce action and threatened Donna with a gun to get her to reveal Estelle’s whereabouts.  Kelly had drug-withdrawal nightmares.

Both Chuck and Donna nix Phoebe’s suggestion that he recuperate at the Tyler mansion. Mark’s mother, Maureen, lets slip Erica’s plans for disco to Tom. Erica calls off the business deal but is still determined to break up Mark and Ellen. Mark and Ellen have a gigantic row, and nearly call off their engagement. Kate suggests that Joe and Ruth have a baby. With an unhappy Charlie in attendance, Tara and Philip renew wedding vows.

Christina is furious over losing the new home because she went with Jeff to Phil and Tara's rerun of a marriage ceremony. Donna tells Billy Clyde that Estelle doesn't love him; he recalls his childhood and vows not to let Estelle mistreat him like his mother did. With Benny's money and against Linc's advice Estelle is off to Haiti to get a quick divorce. Mark is upset over Ellen's discussing their May-September romance with Paul — even though Paul gave no opinion. Named assistant manager of the Chateau, Eddie now is after Claudette's job. Phil decides he cannot force Charlie to love him. With the baby unable to tolerate formula, Devon must now breast-feed her. When Myrtle shows symptoms of heart trouble, Kelly blames herself. Convinced that Devon will never change her mind about giving the baby up for adoption, a desperate Wally kidnaps the baby and heads for St. Louis.

Devon is fearful the baby may die if Wally, who has taken her from the hospital, uses formula which she is allergic to. Wally names the baby Bonnie. Ellen realizes Brooke doesn’t really love Dan. Receiving his first visit from Charlie since he learned Phil was his real father, Chuck asks him to accept Phil but assures him he will always consider Charlie his first-born. Eddie threatens to tell Myrtle about Kelly’s dependence on amphetamines; fearful the news would upset Myrtle, Kelly vows to get off the pills. Christina leaves for her job as head of pediatrics in San Francisco – without Jeff.

Phil is promoted to sergeant. Charlie and Tara attend the ceremony. Arriving in Rome, Phoebe discovers Mona in Charles’ suite – they insist nothing is happening. Estelle obtains a quickie divorce, unaware that if she marries Benny, she could be considered a bigamist. Chuck nixes Donna’s idea to reaffirm their marriage vows as Phil and Tara did. Kelly realizes that she needs help to overcome her pill addiction. Frantic when he learns about Estelle’s divorce, Billy Clyde holds Donna at gunpoint. Before he can do any harm, he is disarmed and arrested by Phil.

Edge of Night

by Jon-Michael Reed 

Miles and Nicole were married.  Deborah and Steve found Wade’s body.  Margo burned an incriminating manuscript that Wade had written.  Tank had reason to bump Wade off since Wade figured Tank was the theater arsonist.  Draper discouraged April from getting to know her mama, Margo, better.  Tank told Raven about being the arsonist.  Wade’s tapes were stolen. Witnesses claimed they saw Winter leaving Wade’s apartment the night of his murder.  She admitted arguing with him but insisted he was alive when she left.  Elliott found new employment as Margo’s “paid companion” and he found a gun in her purse.  Mike caught Diana lying about maneuvering his office secretary.  Calvin comforted Star when she feared she’d soon be unemployed.  Draper was suspicious when Margo posted Winter’s bail.  Elliott convinced Margo to “keep” him, but when she was gone, he seduced her maid, Sara.  Logan saw a tape that Deborah and Steve found showing Winter and Wade together.  Tank took a powder while being sought for questioning regarding the arson at Wade’s theater.  Mike told Diana that he was fed up with her lies; she then went to buy some acid, declaring Mike didn’t deserve to have her father’s eyes.  Logan and Raven suspected they’d each been at Wade’s the night of the murder.  Logan disqualified himself and Cliff Nelson was assigned to prosecute Winter.  Draper disapproved of Margo’s involvement with Elliott and her ploys to make up for lost time with April.  Mike was saved from Diana’s acid throwing plan and she was carted away.  Cliff was impressed by Raven.

Winter is the No. 1 suspect in Wade's murder. Mike and Nancy are thrilled at Miles and Nicole's wedding. Logan wants to see baby Jamie grow up but doesn't think he can bear close ties with Raven. Margo feels rejected by April.

Logan and Raven reconcile. Steve thinks Winter has the answer to Wade's murder. A drunken Elliot goes to Margo for money, then passes out; Margo lets him stay. Draper warns April against forming a relationship with Margo, even though she is her mother. Nancy is onto Diana's sweetness act, but Mike looks on her as a daughter — not the relationship Diana has in mind. April continues to visit Margo. Margo tells Elliot he can have a loan if he stays in town. Winter is arrested for murder, and her former lover Logan is the prosecuting attorney.

Winter admits to police she went to Wade's apartment the night he was killed to retrieve tapes of her porno flick "Lacy Lady." Elliot agrees to be Margo's paid escort. Feeling Mike doesn't deserve the sight he gained by receiving her father's eyes in transplant, Diana goes shopping for chemicals. Draper insists that April stop seeing Margo and refuse any invitations she extends.

Feeling too close to the case, Logan decides he cannot prosecute Winter and gives the assignment to aggressive assistant D.A., Cliff Nelson. Mike and Nancy decide Diana must move out but hope she will seek professional help. Out of the Karr house, Diana seeks revenge. Steve and Deborah save Mike from losing sight when Diana tries to blind him with liquid bleach. Margo is implicated in Wade's murder. Raven is displeased because Winter is no longer the only suspect.
