January 1974

Attorney Greg Foster tried to avoid even attending his brother, med student, Snapper Foster’s wedding to Chris Brooks as he himself was in love with her. But Chris appealed to Greg who finally agreed to be best man. Snapper refuses all offers of financial help from Chris’ father. Having learned she is pregnant with Snapper’s baby, Sally Maguire recently accepted her boss Pierre’s offer of marriage for the baby’s sake. However, realising he’s soon expecting her to share his bed, she panics and considers telling Snapper. Brad Elliot makes her realise she can’t play with people’s lives this way and she calls Snapper’s brother Liz to say she won’t tell Snapper. But Snapper accidentally overhears enough on the extension to realise what’s happened and he confronts Sally about it. Sally explains she gave away another baby years ago and had to keep this one. Sally goes home resigned to be Pierre’s wife in all ways. Snapper accepts this and, shortly after, he and Chris are married in a beautiful church ceremony with personalised wedding vows, the first lighting of an anniversary candle and the presenting of roses to their respective parents. The memory of her recent rape makes Chris unable to consummate her marriage to her husband. They return from their three-day honeymoon happy and radiant. Pierre’s sister Marianne arrives from France curious about Pierre’s sudden marriage to Sally whom she knows was in love with another man. Pierre proudly announces their impending parenthood but Sally dreams of telling Chris the truth and Chris’ divorcing Snapper. Chris starts pressing Snapper to start a family but he insists they wait for financial as well as emotional responsibility reasons. His mind, however, keeps drifting to Sally’s pregnancy.

Jill Foster, Snapper’s sister, feeling trapped, and desperate to improve her social and economic position, seriously considers quitting her hairdresser’s job. She establishes rapport with a new customer, socially prominent Mrs. Chancellor, whose husband’s indifference causes her to live on the edge of boredom and despair. Jill rushes to Mrs. Chancellor’s home when she becomes ill so her housekeeper can “take care of her”. Jill is entranced with the luxury of the Chancellor’s home. Jill learns Mr. Chancellor owns the factory where he mother Liz works. Ironically at this moment Liz is being laid off. Greg’s new client in a will probate problem, Miss Sherman, is a lady of mystery – she leaves no address or phone number – he can’t call her.

Leslie Brooks, Chris’ oldest sister, is preparing for her concert piano tour and happily realises she’s in love with Brad Elliot who had helped her to feel confident and secure about her career and her future. When next oldest daughter Lorie returns after four years in Europe, Leslie confides her love for Brad explaining that nobody, not even Brad, realises her feelings. Lorie, beautiful and bright, has always resented the attention the family has given shy, introverted Leslie, and her father, Stuart Brooks, fears this jealousy is still very evident. Despite her degree in journalism, Lorie hasn’t set foot in her father’s newspaper until she learns Brad works there. Suddenly she’s there for a job and is stunned when at their first meeting Brad tells her she’s self-centred and shallow in her disregard of her father’s feelings about her delay in coming down to the paper. Lorie tells Leslie she finds Brad rude and insensitive but she gives Leslie lip service encouragement in her feelings for Brad. She then intercepts Brad’s call to Leslie and tells Leslie it was a wrong number. At their next meeting, Brad accuses her of being jealous of Leslie and says he plan to write a book is only her way of trying to stop Leslie. Realising Leslie’s back from Chicago, Lorie traps Brad into a sucker bit for dinner, causing him to be unable to see Leslie.

Jen Brooks, Leslie’s mother, restless and reflective, flies to Chicago unaware Leslie’s returned home. She sees her old boyfriend Bruce Henderson (Liz’s brother) for lunch and he asks her to stay a few days, as she did last summer, instead of flying right back.

When Sally tries to involve Snapper with the child, he reminds her it’s Pierre’s baby and hers, she wanted it that way. Sally has pains and is hospitalised. She begins to miscarry but ironically it’s Snapper who rushes her to surgery where her OB man saves the baby. Pierre’s sister Marianne suspects Sally was pregnant before she married Pierre. Pierre finally admits the baby is not his but as long as everyone thinks it’s his he wants the baby and loves Sally. When Marianne suggests Snapper must know the baby is his, Pierre is suspicious but Snapper’s detachment and cool medical manner makes Pierre feel he doesn’t have to worry.

Liz Foster tries to conceal she’s been laid off at the factory and gets a job doing day work. When her children find out, Greg and Snapper appeal to Phillip Chancellor, the factory president, to reinstate her and Jill, who does Kay Chancellor’s hair, appeals to Kay to intercede. Lia is called back to the factory and Jill goes to thank Kay for her help. Kay tells her she had nothing to do with it. When Jill learns Kay’s looking for a companion and maid, she offers her services. Jill doesn’t realises Kay has a serious drinking problem, a result of her loneliness and boredom and the realisation her husband no longer finds her physically attractive. Ironically, her alcoholic temper makes her less attractive to him each day. Jill envies Kay – her possession and social position, not realising the serious problems Kay has. Phillip meets Jill and is touched by her family loyalty, as well as that of her brothers.

Greg’s mystery client Miss Sherman is actually Gwen, Jill’s former client, who tells Jill she is no longer at the place on the edge of town. She has own place for meeting her male clients and it’s much more interesting.

While in Chicago visiting her daughter Leslie, Jennifer Brooks sees Bruce Henderson, with whom she was romantically involved before marrying Stuart. When he tells her he’s always loved her, she gently changes the subject. Lorie Brooks assures her older sister Leslie she finds Brad insufferable and can’t understand Leslie’s interest in him. However, Lorie is actually trying every technique and scheme she can to seduce Brad and at the same time create a gap between him and Leslie, as she as always been jealous of her older sister. Suspicious of Brad’s background, Lorie learns a Chicago psychiatrist-neurosurgeon Brad Elliot was reported killed in an auto accident last year. When in Chicago for Leslie’s piano debut, she checks further and locates nurse Barbara Anderson, the friend who identified the body. Lorie sees her and Barbara admits she’s still in love with Brad even a year after his death and still mourns for him. Brad thinks to himself, “It’s almost a year now and all because of you, Barbara.” With Brad’s words of support and confidence in her mind, Leslie performs brilliantly at her concert piano debut.

March 1974

Overwhelmed by her husband Pierre’s obvious love for her and her unborn child, Sally Rouland tells him she agrees they should sell the restaurant and move to Paris to be near his family and have their child there. For his sake, she tells him Snapper Foster does not know that he is the real father of the baby. However, a customer hides in the men’s room until closing at the restaurant and enters their bedroom and robs them. Pierre gives up the money, but when the gunman tries to take Sally hostage, Pierre struggles with him and is hit on the head.

Pierre is badly injured and has immediate surgery. After which he drifts in and out of consciousness. Brad Elliot secretly examines Pierre, who does not respond to the neurological tests Brad gives him. Sally is very encouraged when Pierre can occasionally talk to her and therefore is hysterical when he suddenly dies. Snapper, who feared Pierre’s death, was with her and takes her home. Marianne Meulot, Pierre’s sister, notified by telegram of the accident, arrives from France too late. She vows over Pierre’s body that Sally will pay for this and when she sees Sally, she accuses her of using Pierre, saying she deceived him and killed him; that she has no right to the restaurant and she tries to throw Sally out. Snapper’s father-in-law Stuart Brooks is very upset to see Snapper comforting Sally during her ordeal and later tells his wife Jen he still doesn’t fully trust Snapper where Chris, his daughter, is concerned. Chris is annoyed to hear this and tells her father Snapper went to Sally with her approval. Marianne plans to sell the restaurant but is furious when Pierre’s will indicates Sally is the sole heir. Marianne makes an appointment to see Stuart Brooks.

Jill Foster is ecstatic over her job as wealthy Kay Chancellor’s companion as she loves the task of luxury. Her family feels it is dead-ended and wrong for her and even Mr. Chancellor tells her it’s not a job for a young girl. Jill realises Kay has a drinking problem and tries to no avail to get her to cut down. When Phillip Chancellor begs Kay to stop drinking, she refuses as if she doesn’t want to, but she’s actually afraid to try. Jill is discouraged at Kay’s lack of response to her efforts to get her out to do things or see people but stubbornly refuses to give up. Gwen Sherman, Greg’s mystery client, tells him all she wants from her aunt’s estate is money, that her family never helped her when her mother died and her father took off. She turns down Greg’s date invitations realising he believes she’s a model and has no idea dating men is her profession.

Lorie Brooks is now using her book manuscript in her efforts to take Brad Elliot away from her older sister Leslie. She explains to a friend that she had to give up so many dates, so much of her life to listen to Leslie’s piano playing on her father’s orders; everybody sympathises with poor introverted Leslie and never bothered to notice she had problems too. When Leslie triumphantly returns from her piano debut, Lorie has prearranged a date with Brad for that evening, which hurts Leslie to the core. Even worse is Stuart Brooks’ feeling that Lorie and Brad would be a good couple. Lorie tells Brad that Leslie feels a musician cannot divide herself between a husband and a career and continues to connive and contrive ways to keep Brad and Leslie apart. When Leslie confronts Lorie, Lorie defensively says Brad’s merely helping her with her writing, the way she helped Leslie in her career, trying to make Leslie feel selfish. Realising Leslie’s introverted personality won’t allow her to show her feelings, Lorie uses sex to draw Brad even closer to her. Leslie, at Brad’s suggestion, gets him a ticket for her Detroit concert but Leslie manages to permanently detour the ticket and Leslie’s note. Brad, almost against his wishes, thinks of the things Barbara never told him that drove him out of the operating room and out of Chicago.

Chris tells Snapper despite the pills she's pregnant, he's furious reminding her he made it clear before they married that he wasn’t ready for children and implies she got pregnant intentionally.

Liz warns her son that it Chris doesn't have her baby and found out Sally was having his child his marriage would be over. After such thought, Chris tells Snapper she now realizes if it means a choice between him and the baby, she's going to have his baby and if his love for her can't encompass that then maybe there's a flaw in it.

Fortunately, Dr. Malcolmson at the hospital discovered a picture of Leslie Brooks and, realizing she is his patient, called Stuart who rushed to New York. Leslie’s trauma caused her to reject Stuart but he finally reached her and she agreed to go to Fairview Hospital near Genoa City on the promise that no one will know. Once there, Stuart tried to make Leslie feel better by telling her how nice things are for her sister Lorie now that she seems to be moving towards marriage with Brad.

Jill, in a new dress Phillip provided, is a great success with the guests. Lorie tells Phillip she saw Kay’s son Rolf last year in Paris.

She insists he leave because she’s a no good tramp. He returns, cleans her up, and dumps out her pills and alcohol.
