1982 (#7) - The discovery of Barbara's identity, the departure with April for New York

The relationship between Bobbie and Paul, meanwhile, continues and it's not long before the boy begins to suspect that Bobbie may be April's twin sister Dorothy had mentioned a few years earlier. Incredible is in fact the resemblance between the two girls. Paul decides to start investigating, and when he asks the girl about her family, Bobbie admits that her real name is Barbara Ann Harding and that she recently left New York, where she lives with her mother Elizabeth. After Paul's insistent questions, Barbara then admits that she knows she was adopted and has arrived in Genoa City precisely because she hopes to meet her adoptive father, William Harding, now divorced from Elizabeth, after many years, to ask him about her real parents. It is Paul then who makes the decision to inform April that he has discovered the identity of his sister and that he has found her, and his ex-wife contacts Barbara by phone to meet. Paul introduces Barbara to April and Dorothy, who admits to recognize her as his daughter. Everyone is overjoyed to meet Wayne and Dorothy's daughter again, and April herself is intrigued to learn all about her twin sister, who apparently enjoys much greater wealth than her family. Barbara tells about her life in New Yok and how she has always lived with her mother Elizabeth, whom everyone would like to meet. Wayne and Dorothy, determined to reunite the whole family and put their stay in Genoa City behind them, decide to leave and move with April, Barbara and Heather to New York, to live together with Elizabeth who now lives alone. Before leaving, Heather and April warmly greet Paul, who wishes him all the best for their life; April also says goodbye to Greg, who was still hoping to start a new relationship with the girl.
