1975 (#3) - The break up with Leslie and Jed e Betty’s reunion

The only dark face at Leslie and Brad's wedding was obviously Lorie's. The woman, in fact, is forced to admit to herself that she still loves Brad and cannot forget him, despite her attempts to do so by starting new love adventures. The relationship with Jed, moreover, became more and more problematic for the girl, since the man tries in every way to avoid going out publicly with the girl and to open up to her. Unaware that Jed has a wife and a marriage, Lorie is very disappointed when Jed decides not to come to Brad and Leslie's wedding; determined to get an explanation from the man, eventually a shocked Lorie finds out the whole truth about Jed and immediately decides to end their relationship. Jed's attempt to convince the girl that his relationship with Betty is at an ending and that he's only in love with her, is useless: Lorie doesn't want to know anything about it and concentrates on getting out of the way of their marriage and tries to encourage the renewal of a feeling between the two of them. Lorie thus befriends Betty, naturally without revealing her identity, and does not fail to give her advice on how to turn on the passion between her and her husband, now more and more convinced by Lorie to forget about her to focus on his family. Finally, Jed and Betty find love again, and Lorie, happy to have given love and joy to a couple in crisis, decides to go on with her life, optimistic that sooner or later she too will find her true love.

1974 (#18) - Brock’s return, Lorie hitting on him and the relationship with Jed

A new twist is the unexpected arrival of Brock Reynolds, who shakes the Chancellor house. Brock is the son of Katherine and her first husband, Gary Reynolds. The long friendship between Gary and Phillip allowed, after the death of Gary himself, twelve years earlier, the closeness between Katherine and Phillip, a union disliked by Brock. Always a rebellious boy, Brock wanted nothing more to do with his mother Katherine and moved away from her, causing her great pain. So he went to Europe, where among alcohol, drugs and excesses he met Lorie, with whom he had a brief flirt. However, the man who arrives in Genoa City is a completely new Brock. Thanks also to his renewed faith, Brock has successfully completed his law studies, becoming a promising lawyer. As soon as she heard of Brock's arrival, the wounded Lorie visits the boy, hoping that there might be something between them again, but Brock quickly dismisses the girl by not hiding his intentions to become a priest. Disappointed once again by the men, an increasingly fragile Lorie thus falls into the arms of her publicist friend Jed Andrews, not knowing that he is married to Betty Andrews. The two thus begin a secret extramarital affair based on Jed's passion and lies.
