One Life to Live, October 1977
Dorian has once again gotten her way. She likes nothing better than to needle Tony and in Paul Kendall she has found the perfect means for this end. She knows Tony would like nothing better than for Paul to leave town, so she makes sure Paul will be around for a long, long time. She offers Paul a job at The Banner. It’s a three-year contract for a job of manager of the Lord Press. Dorian smiles to herself as she hears Paul tell her he’ll accept her offer. Now, maybe, if she’s really lucky, Paul will succeed in winning back Pat’s love. It’s her ultimate revenge. Tony will not get what he most desires. He will not get Pat and their son Brian.
Jenny tries to talk some sense into Sam. She tells this very confused eighteen-year-old that she doesn’t love her father; they’re just friends. What Sam observed in the restaurant was just an innocent encounter. Will may love her but she doesn’t love him. Sam doesn’t buy any of it. She tells Jenny she plotted to get Will. Her naïve innocence is just an act. She’s as calculating as any hustler on the street. She saw the look on Jenny’s face as she was talking to Will, and if that’s not love she doesn’t know what is! Sam’s conception of Jenny’s feelings is correct, but Jenny still refuses to confront her emotions. She will not yet admit to herself that she’s in love with Will, not his son Brad.
Llanview has a new resident. She’s a young woman named Edwina – and she seems to be an old flame of Richard Abbott’s – at least she glows a lot whenever she hears his name. Will she play havoc with Richard and Becky’s blossoming relationship?
Meanwhile, Richard has gotten Becky a job at The Banner. Becky is ecstatic. It’s her first paying job. She’s thankful to Richard, but she’s still not too hepped up on going out with him. She appears to have a checkered past. One night she tells Richard she’s not as innocent as he thinks she is. Richard will not be put off. He’s very attracted to Becky’s naïve country ways. He likes protecting and sheltering her form the cruel world.
Once again Brad has told Lana it’s over. She showed up drunk at the health club one night and almost broke things up between him and Jenny.
What about the cold, calculating cad? Well, Mr. Golden boy, (Mr. Wonderful) is very…very…happy. He’s gotten Jenny to agree to marry him. He’s won her away from his father. Lana cries for Jenny. She feels this kind of gentle woman will be getting the short end of the stick very, very soon.
Learning about the engagement, Will begs Jenny to see him. In his heart he feels she’s making the wrong choice, but he doesn’t say so to her face. He tells Jenny he’s going to try and forget her. He’s not going to both her anymore.
Lana prays her dizziness and nausea isn’t what she thinks it is…but the doctor confirms her worst fears. He tells her she’s pregnant. She’s into her second month. Lana’s world comes tumbling down around her. Cathy puts the pieces back together (Cathy well remembers being in the same situation) and sets Lana on the right course. Lana decides to keep her baby, but says she’s not going to tell either Brad or Jenny that she’s pregnant. It would be humiliating to tell Brad, and if she told Jenny, Jenny would break up with Brad and Brad would hate her (Lana) for being the cause of the breakup. She’d rather have Brad treat her coldly…than not treat her at all.
Becky Lee Hunt is on her way to becoming a big country and western star. She auditions and lands a job at a local C&W joint, The Blue Ridge club. Her success is the result of her new image. It was two little items that made all the difference: A blond Dolly Parton-type wig and a flashy and glittering dress. She looked smashing and wowed the audience…except for one rumpled young reporter. Richard didn’t approve at all and he tells Becky so. Becky’s temper erupts in ferocious flames and she tells Richard what he can do with his comments. It now seems very clear to her that they don’t understand each other at all. It may be best that they don’t see each other any more. Richard doesn’t agree with Becky’s capsule description of their problems and her solution to same, but he can’t get her to change her mind. She’s determined that they’ll never be a twosome.
Edwina has finagled herself a job with the Lord publishing empire. She’ll be working as Paul’s assistant at The Lord Press. Paul is immediately impressed with Edwina’s good looks and great intelligence. Will a new romance be blossoming in Llanview? Will Paul forsake Pat for Edwina?
Sam tells Marco she’ll never go to bed with him. When she loses her virginity, she wants it to be with a man she admires – and he’s far from that man. She knows that now. She doesn’t want a cold, calculating hustler; she wants a conservative, kind, gentle, mature man.
Is there such a man in Llanview? You bet there is! – and Sam has already picked him out. It’s Tony Lord. He’s perfect…but how is she going to get him? How is she going to make him think of her as a woman…not a little girl.
Brad’s joy pops out of him, like air from an exploding balloon. He has never been so deliriously happy. He has won the woman he loves!
It’s a joyful moment that seems to last only seconds. The next day Brad gets a visit from Lana. She tells him she’s pregnant. It’s a kink in his life he can well do without, and hesitating not a second, Brad tells Lana he’ll take her to New York and she can have an abortion. Lana explodes. She tells Brad she’s keeping the baby and she doesn’t care that by doing so she’ll be destroying his perfect little world. She’s not going to hide the fact he’s the father.
Lana leaves the health club half-hating Cathy for persuading her to tell Brad. Why didn’t she follow her instincts and remain quiet? She expected Brad to humiliate her and that’s exactly what he did.
Dorian gives Paul a pretty meaty assignment for his first task as manager of The Lord Press. He is to come up with a new idea for a magazine. She is assigning Pat, Edwina and Richard to help him with this project.
Paul calls a meeting and Richard goes into shock when he enters the office and sees Edwina sitting in the chair right next to Pat’s. Edwina coolly rises from her seat and sweetly tells all gathered that she and Richard new each other at Princeton. In fact, at one time they were both up for the same journalistic prize, which Richard ultimately won. Edwina’s voice hints that she wasn’t exactly happy that her old friend scored this win. Wonder what secret lurks in their past?
Each passing day leaves Pat more and more…confused…torn…and troubled. She knows her loyalties lie with Tony, but she can’t deny she still feels something very strong for Paul. Their evenings together at home are so right; so perfect. It’s like he never left. She doesn’t want to hurt either Tony, Paul or Brian…but someone is bound to suffer great anguish. What is she to do?
Jenny tries to talk some sense into Sam. She tells this very confused eighteen-year-old that she doesn’t love her father; they’re just friends. What Sam observed in the restaurant was just an innocent encounter. Will may love her but she doesn’t love him. Sam doesn’t buy any of it. She tells Jenny she plotted to get Will.

…THOSE RESTLESS URGES
Karen likes to be at the center of her man’s life, not at the periphery. She can’t adjust to the fact that Larry dedicates more time to his medical practice than he does to her. She’s glad she wasn’t found pregnant, but maybe if she was things would be different – but as it stands now she’s in desperate need of ego massage – and she knows just the man to quench her thirsting desires. It’s Gus the plumber. She sends out the necessary signals, Gus picks up on them and a day or so later (when Larry is out of town for the day) they wind up in her bed. Afterwards, Karen feels very dirty. She wishes she could control this other person living inside her. She doesn’t want to wreck her marriage. Llanview has a new resident. She’s a young woman named Edwina – and she seems to be an old flame of Richard Abbott’s – at least she glows a lot whenever she hears his name. Will she play havoc with Richard and Becky’s blossoming relationship?
Meanwhile, Richard has gotten Becky a job at The Banner. Becky is ecstatic. It’s her first paying job. She’s thankful to Richard, but she’s still not too hepped up on going out with him.

Once again Brad has told Lana it’s over. She showed up drunk at the health club one night and almost broke things up between him and Jenny.
A CRUSHING BLOW
Lana is shattered. She tells Brad he’s a cold, unfeeling monster. He told her he loved her. Were all his passionate words lies? Brad doesn’t reply and this non-verbal retort leaves Lana ice-cold. She seeks comfort and advice from her friend Cathy. Cathy consoles Lana and tells her to be strong. Brad is a louse. She’ll meet a better man – one more deserving of her sweet, sensitive nature. What about the cold, calculating cad? Well, Mr. Golden boy, (Mr. Wonderful) is very…very…happy. He’s gotten Jenny to agree to marry him. He’s won her away from his father. Lana cries for Jenny. She feels this kind of gentle woman will be getting the short end of the stick very, very soon.

"Soap Opera Notes"
https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/482636872/
She had visions of goading him into setting up a prestigious private practice that would provide the financial luxuries to which she wanted to become accustomed. Although Marco came back into Karen's life, she was able to give him the brushoff and strut down the wedding aisle to become Mrs. Karen Wolek Wolek.
Married life has not been a bed of roses for Karen, however. She's bored, and household duties are not her forte. To while away the daytime hours, she dreams up ways to taunt and tease the milkman, butcher, baker, bartender and most of all husky Gus, the plumber.
ClickGus The Plumber
One of these days Karen is going to go too far and get her comeuppance for being a naughty tease.
Actress Kathryn Breech revels in playing the sultry, manipulating wench Karen. She's grateful that the role offers her an escape from the Alice in Wonderland goodie goodie types she usually found herself playing. Karen's capers also provide a fantasy alternative to Kathy's own life.
She was born 23 years ago into a wealthy, socially prominent family in Bloomfield Hills, an exclusive Michigan suburb. She inherited the characteristic Breech independence and determination that moved her paternal grandfather from a job as a Missouri blackmith's apprentice into the stellar spot of Chairman of the Board of Ford Motor Company. The folks wanted her to go to law school but in the family tradition she too struck out on her own. She became interested in acting while attending a posh New England prep school where she was an honor student. During her college days at the Santa Cruz division of the University of California, she met and was romanced by a fellow student who directed her in several school productions. Coincidentally, that young man happened to be Gerald Anthony, who plays Karen's nemesis, Marco Dane on "One Life to Live". The couple are still an on-again off-again item in real life!
