1984 (#19) - The painful goodbye to Stuart, Lorie and Lance's wedding, Sally's divorce

Victor and Nikki's wedding is also the occasion for many protagonists who had left Genoa City to return to the city. The first to return to the United States are Liz, Chris and Snapper, accompanied by Greg, who return from London. Unfortunately, with them does not arrive good news, since Liz informs everyone that Stuart had passed away only a few weeks earlier due to Addison's illness. A grieving Liz, then, is consoled by Katherine and Victor, who express their approval for the decision to bury his ashes in the city. Present at the touching farewell ceremony for Stuart are the other daughters Leslie, Peggy and of course Lorie, accompanied by Lance. Victor was delighted to meet Lorie again, who thanked him for agreeing to invite Lance as well. Lorie and Lance, after all, have just remarried and took the opportunity to return to Genoa City for a few days before leaving for their honeymoon, so it's clear that Lorie's plan to take Prentiss Industries back from Victor to convince Lance to come back with her in the end really worked. Before leaving for London, finally, Snapper decides to visit Sally and her son Chuckie, who he finds very grown up. Chris and Snapper are very surprised to learn that Sally has just divorced Stan, and both hope that she will soon find a man to raise Chuckie with a father. After this short time in the city, everyone eventually leaves Genoa City again, and many of them will never come back.

1982 (#32) - Sally's wedding and Greg, Liz and Stuart's transfer to London

Far from the turbulent problems of Genoa City, meanwhile, Chris and Snapper live happily in London. Both have in fact immediately adapted to their new life in Europe, although Chris misses his father Stuart very much. Snapper himself is worried about his mother Liz, aware that she is always worried about Jill's turbulent life. Chris and Snapper decide to return to the city as soon as their schedule allows. Here, they immediately regain the love of their parents, increasingly struggling with the aches and pains of advancing age. Liz, meanwhile, is annoyed by Stuart's words, who asks Chris not to go back to London with Snapper, but when Snapper kindly refuses the offer, it is Chris who offers Stuart a surprise to come to London with Liz. Seeing that each of their children are now taking different paths and that they don't have much time to spend with them, both Stuart and Liz think seriously about Chris and Snapper's offer to move with them to Europe. Moreover, Stuart is attracted to the teaching opportunities that Chris is looking forward to, as there is a strong demand for journalism professors in London. Liz, worried about her husband's increasing health instability, is also convinced that moving to London is the best choice, reassured by Snapper about the quality of the hospitals in the British capital. A few days after Chris and Snapper's arrival in Genoa City, therefore, Liz, Stuart and Greg are ready to pack up and go to England, too, happy to move to Britain and start a new life there. Greg, after all, needs to forget April and England is a great opportunity for his lawyer job. Before leaving, surprisingly Sally arrives at the airport, who informs everyone that she has recently married Stan, with whom she lives in Michigan. It's a chance for Snapper, this one, to hug little Chuckie one last time.

1982 (#10) - Snapper's scholarship and the departure with Chris and Jennifer

After Sally and Chuckie's departure, things between Chris and Snapper are back to normal; their marriage has also overcome this obstacle. Snapper apologizes to Chris for being insensitive to her and for neglecting her, ensuring that nothing means more to him than she and Jennifer. However, the obstacles never seem to end for the couple. Not even a month after saying goodbye to Chuckie, Snapper receives a letter from London, informing him that he has won a scholarship to study in London. Overjoyed, he informs his wife of the wonderful news and begins to fantasize about how fantastic Britain is, but he does not deal with Chris' opposition. Chris, feeling once again left behind, asks Snapper to give up as a token of his love, in spite of this he encourages her to move to England to have a unique experience. Then Snapper gets angry when Chris admits she doesn't want to give up her modeling career at Jabot Cosmetics, wanting to give her career a chance too; the woman doesn't find it right that always and only Snapper's working career should be favoured, to the disadvantage of her own. The situation seems to get worse and worse as time goes by and Snapper's departure date approaches. The pride of both of them does not allow second thoughts and the result is that Snapper leaves without Chris following him. However, it is not long before Chris realizes that she is unable to live without the man she loves. Realizing that her place and that of her daughter is with Snapper, she decides to join him in London, news that makes Snapper very happy. So it's goodbye time again, this time in the Foster and Brooks family. Snapper, back to take his wife and their daughter with him, says goodbye to his mother Jill and Greg, to whom he assigns the task of looking after their family. On the other hand, Jack wishes Chris good luck after the contract is sadly cancelled, and she says goodbye to his father and sisters before boarding the plane that represents the beginning of a new life.

1982 (#6) - The transplant surgery and Snapper's farewell to Chuckie and Sally

Chuckie's condition, meanwhile, is becoming increasingly critical and the child needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible. At the same time, Snapper, increasingly nervous and worried, returns home to Chris less and less after work, preferring to stay at the hospital next to Sally and little Chuckie. This time Chris is much more sympathetic than in the past, having actually realized the gravity of the situation personally; however, she is determined to somehow put a stop to Sally's attempt to win over Snapper. Knowing that Sally is currently engaged to the brother of Cinthia Harris, Stan Harris, with whom she lives in Michigan, Chris plans to contact and convince him to come to Genoa City to be with his woman and Chuckie. In fact, the man had already packed and about to leave to reunite with his woman, and Chris appears satisfied that his Snapper no longer runs the risk of being involved in a possible relationship with Sally. She, meanwhile, in despair of losing her son, tries to persuade Snapper to reveal his paternity to Chuckie; Snapper, however, despite the fact that he has now built a good relationship with the child, prefers to wait, despite the fact that he is aware that there could be no more time if the operation goes wrong. In Snapper's decision to wait to reveal the truth, Greg's advice was decisive, knowing that such a decision would destroy Chris and further fuel his fears of a reunion between Sally and Snapper. In fact, Greg advised his brother not to lose sight of his priority: Chris and Jennifer, because they are special people that no one would let slip away, not hiding an interest in Chris herself. This allusion annoys Snapper, forced to collect the countless hit by Stuart who admits that he would have preferred Chris to marry Greg. When the situation for Chuckie becomes critical, Snapper decides to donate one of his kidneys to his son, a gesture that receives the admiration of all. To everyone's great joy, fortunately, the transplant goes well and Chuckie recovers. Snapper convinces Sally that it is better not to tell Chuckie the truth about who is his real father and to continue to let him believe that it's Stan, who is happy to be able to raise Chuckie to whom he is now very close. Sally and Stan make the decision to leave Genoa City and return to Michigan to continue their lives. The time comes for a moving farewell between a grieving Snapper, aware that he will never see his son Chuckie again.

1982 (#2) - Chris' modeling aspirations and disagreements with Snapper

The marriage between Chris and Snapper, already going through a difficult time since Sally's return to the city, lives another critical moment when Jack makes the acquaintance of Chris. Initially attracted to the woman, the young man of the Abbott family soon turns his interest in the woman from sentimental to professional when he learns that she is already married and with a beautiful little girl. And in response to Jack's tempting job offer, which encourages the woman to make a space for herself and gain experience in the fashion world, Chris seems genuinely interested. So she agrees to sign a contract with Jabot, convinced more and more by the sense of frustration felt for the increasing way Snapper neglects her, busy as he is between work and Sally's attentions, who with the excuse of Chuckie's illness is getting closer and closer to the man. He, however, denies any involvement and is skeptical of his wife's idea of a modeling career. However, Chris claims her right to keep a space for herself, claiming she deserves it. Discussions between the two grow when Jack offers Chris a shoot in Hawaii, where he will of course accompany her. Snapper at this point shows the first signs of an evident jealousy, that eventually please the woman. Tensions between the two, however, dissolve when Chris falls ill and is forced to refuse the proposal, to the great joy of Snapper, who also intimates Jack to stay away from his wife.

1981 (#26) - Sally's return, Chuckie's kidney problems, Chris and Snapper's crisis

After Jennifer was born, Chris and Snapper had some very happy times. Chris, enthusiastic about family life, plans a possible new pregnancy and, in preparation for this, begins to think about the need to move to a new, larger house, which meets the perplexities of Snapper, worried about their financial means. In the meantime, a person unexpectedly returns to Genoa City who neither Chris nor Snapper would ever think of meeting again: Sally. After writing a letter to Liz informing her that she would shortly be arriving in the city, in fact, Sally shows up in front of a surprised Snapper, who learns that little Chuckie, their son, is seriously ill due to a kidney dysfunction and is in town for a medical visit. Snapper, dismissing a disappointed Chris that it is not a good time to have a new baby, then accompanies Sally and her son to the visit. When Chuckie's condition worsens, the child is admitted to the hospital and is cared for by a concerned Snapper, who calms Sally and at the same time feels guilty about being absent from her son's life all the time. While Snapper is increasingly absent because assisting Chuckie, Sally assures Chris that she has no intention of taking advantage of her child's illness to reconnect with Snapper, being respectful of her marriage. Despite this, Chris begins to suspect more and more that Sally is acting to meddle in her marriage and get close to Snapepr, accusations that Sally strongly rejects. In fact, Sally cannot deny herself that she is still attracted to Snapper, despite the fact that she is firmly convinced to move on with her life as she has done years ago.

1980 (#26) - Heather's birth, April's doubts and Dorothy's revelations.

As the months go by, April's day of childbirth comes closer and closer to the end of the pregnancy. The young woman is excited about the imminent birth of her daughter, and Chris stands by her more and more, reassuring her that she will be a great mother, even though April feels incapable and not ready to raise a child all by herself. Because of this, April begins to seriously consider giving her daughter up for adoption, despite Chris trying to talk her out of it. Meanwhile, still through Chris, April meets Greg and a deep friendship is established between the two of them. Both say they are disappointed by their love life, and Greg can't believe that the Paul who got April pregnant and then ran away is the same one his wife Nikki has always been attracted to. Inevitably, feelings develop between the two of them as a result of the closeness of their characters, even if both stop as soon as there is an exchange of a few kisses between them. On the occasion of the birth, Dorothy and Wayne also return from New York, who can't wait to take the unborn child's arm and get to know the father's identity. April confesses to Chris and Greg that she hasn't yet told their parents that Paul has abandoned her and that she probably will not recognise the baby, so Chris tells April to stand up and confess to her family. Just when April is revealing the truth to her parents, her waters breaks and little Heather comes to light. Everyone is overjoyed at the happy event. Heather thus gives April the strength to confess the truth, and in the end Wayne, cursing Paul, assures her daughter that she will have all the support she needs. She then admits that she is serious about giving the child up for adoption, but Dorothy, overwhelmed by conflicting feelings about the joy of Heather's birth and April's revelations, lets go and impulsively confesses that she gave April's twin sister up for adoption in the past and bitterly regrets it. Dorothy thus asks April not to make a gesture she may later regret. Upset by the news, April, thanks in part to Greg's support, who promises her that he will be by her side, decides to keep Heather, whom she already loves infinitely. Meanwhile, Greg informs a worried Casey how are things going on between her and Nikki, now increasingly distant. Greg in fact seems more and more convinced to want to ask for a divorce from the woman, which increases Casey's worries about her sister.

1980 (#9) - The return of Peggy, the birth of Jennifer and the joy of Chris and Snapper

On the occasion of Liz and Stuart's wedding, Peggy also returns from San Francisco. The younger of Stuart's daughters does not hide her doubts about her father's decision to marry again, and fears that Liz, like her daughter Jill, is only interested in her father's money. Liz, understanding Peggy's anger towards her, reassures the girl that she is neither interested in her father's assets nor disrespecting their family. Liz doesn't want to replace Jennifer, dead Peggy's mother that she misses a lot by the way, Liz just wants to make her father happy, who like Peggy and like everyone else has suffered for Jennifer's death. Eventually, Peggy and Liz hug each other and the girl agrees to attend the woman's wedding to her father; moreover, Liz begs Peggy to stay in Genoa City and the girl agrees to return to live in their house with her and Stuart. The happiness of this special day is also doubled when at the end of the ceremony Chris feels her waters breaking and so she has to give birth to her daughter. Thus was born Jennifer Elizabeth Foster, daughter of radiant parents Chris and Snapper who decided to name their daughter as their respective mothers, Liz and the deceased Jennifer who no one has forgotten to this day. The newlyweds Liz and Stuart, therefore, discover with pleasure that they became grandparents on the same day of their wedding. It really is a special day in Genoa City!

1980 (#8) - Jill's intrusions, Liz's forgiveness and marriage to Stuart

After the divorce from Jill, without having to give up his property, Stuart is finally free to get back with Liz. Jill's mother, however, seems ready, under pressure from Greg and Chris, to forgive the man and reconcile with him. The love between the two, so soon wins over everything and the two decide to start from where they left off before Stuart's affairs, that is the preparation of their marriage that could finally reunite the two families. Everything seems going smoothly, except that, once again, Jill seems to want to insinuate herself into the relationship between her mother and Stuart. In fact, after the attempted marriage with Derek, Jill tries once again to get love and especially Stuart's money, although this time the man doesn't seem interested at all. Jill, however, still has a weapon by her side, which is the fact that she and Stuart had sex before their marriage, a fact of which Liz is unaware. When Liz interrupts a heated argument between Stuart and her daughter, in a fit of rage, Jill screams that Stuart married her because he thought she was pregnant. Stuart explains the whole situation to Liz, and is forced to admit, along with Jill's lies, that he had sex with her before their marriage. Liz, once again, runs away in tears, and it's only Lorie's intervention that makes the woman rethink her decision. Eventually Liz and Stuart decide to put the whole thing behind them and finally get married. Decisive was also the umpteenth clarification between Jill and Liz, in which the daughter admits to having deceived Stuart and asks Liz for forgiveness for all the pain she caused her; she then asks her to accept the proposal of an extraordinary man like Stuart, since her dream is exclusively to see her mother and Stuart happy. On their wedding day, everyone was overjoyed to see Liz and Stuart's dreams come true. The two come from two very different worlds; Stuart's success as publisher of the Genoa Chronicle is in stark contrast to the difficult life Liz has faced to provide her children with a peaceful future. But Liz and Stuart share a unique bond based on mutual respect, commitment to family, trust and mature love. And it was the strength of that love that allowed them to put Stuart's relationship with Jill behind them and look to the future. Even though Liz still had doubts that she would fit into a comfortable life with Stuart, surrounded by her rich friends and co-workers, that she eventually accepted

1980 (#6) - The refusal to have an abortion and the breakup between April and Paul

Meanwhile April, radiant and unaware, informs her neighbour and friend Chris, that she's expecting a baby exactly as her. Chris hugs and congratulates her friend; April is aware that it won't be easy, also and above all because of the financial situation the couple is going through, but they will make it, since April is convinced that Paul will soon quit his job as a waiter and will look for a better paid job to marry her. While April is speaking, however, Chris does not hide a certain concern about how Paul will react to the news of the pregnancy, knowing what kind of guy he is. And April's expectations are shattered when Paul is undecided about what to do first and finally convinced of the need to have an abortion. Hearing Paul's words, April is incredulous and unable to understand Paul's fear. Paul admits that he is neither ready nor willing to take on a role as a husband in a marriage that April suggested, not to mention a father. April cannot believe the words of her boyfriend, who at this point decides to run away and break up with his girlfriend, who insists that her baby may be born. With a broken heart and a difficult pregnancy to cope with, April is consoled by Chris and her family, who arrive from New York as soon as they hear about the pregnancy and say they are ready to welcome their baby girl back into the house. April, however, claims her independence, which she has achieved through hard work and many sacrifices. She also tries to avoid the constant questions of her mother Dorothy and her father Wayne Stevens, who put a lot of pressure on the girl to get to know her boyfriend. April initially hides Paul's identity, then makes no mention that he has left her, resulting in pressure from Wayne and Dorothy for the man to come and ask for the girl's hand in marriage. It's obvious that in this situation Chris is worried about the stress suffered by the girl and the effects of this on her pregnancy, despite April, a relentless optimist, is convinced that things will work out one way or another.

1979 (#20) - Chris's pregnancy, his friendship with April and his story with Paul

Leaving behind the ugly and dangerous affair related to Rose, a moment of great joy and happiness finally arrives for Snapper and Chris when Chris discovers, to her surprise and amazement, that she is expecting a child with her husband. Years and years of vain attempts, sacrifices and disappointments are finally rewarded with the joy of a baby on the way. Happiness at home, however, soon is replaced by worries, as Chris is informed that she has been exposed to rubella and that she risks serious complications for the fetus. Snapper, however, consoles and gives strength to his wife, exhorting her not to jump down because they would, as always, face together whatever obstacle set in front of them. And this positive state of mind, evidently, was useful because the test results were negative, which implies that everything would have been fine for the baby. Both relieved, Chris and Snapper can thus continue the happy expectation of their first child. And it is this sense of deep joy that leads Chris to decide to help those most in need and those less fortunate. Among them, there is no doubt April Stevens, Chris' neighbour, who at only nineteen years olds finds herself living alone in serious financial straits. Despite the woman's reluctance to open up, Chris offers to help her to go ahead in any way she can, and the girl gladly accepts, understanding that a good friendship may be born between the two of them. April, initially closed and reserved, soon opens up to Chris and confesses that she's dating a boy, Paul Williams, the same Paul that had a relationship with Nikki. Between the two there is a strong physical attraction and April doesn't hide that she is in love.

1979 (#18) - The contrasting relationship with Nikki, Paul's return, the clash with Greg

After some time since Nick's death, it's time for clarification between Casey and Nikki, mainly about their relationship with Greg. Nikki admits that she became closer to him and apologizes to her sister for not telling her straightaway that they were dating. Casey, initially surprised by this, admits after all that they had broken for some time before and that, especially after Nick's return to town, she had neglected him; besides, it was Casey herself who introduced him to her sister. Casey, therefore, says she is perfectly ready to accept Greg dating her sister, even though she can't understand how a calm and peaceful person like Greg can get along well with a hothead like Nikki, and vice versa. In any case, both are now very much in love and Nikki's usual unconsciousness already leads her to dream of a romantic wedding. But if Casey finds himself supporting the new couple, it's not the same for the Foster family. The most displeased about a possible marriage between Greg and Nikki is of course Snapper who, although driven by protective feelings, as always shows himself to be authoritarian towards his younger brother, ordering him to immediately break off the relationship with the woman, telling him that Nikki is not a good girl, and instead suggesting him to get back with Casey. But if Greg is used to Snapper's strong positions, and anyway now he feels independent from his brother, he can't get used to Liz, their mother's opposition, strongly worried that Nikki is not the right woman for Greg because she's too young and rebellious. To complicate things even more, as if that were not enough, is the return of Paul Williams, strongly determined to take back his wild Nikki. In their first meeting, however, Nikki informs Paul that she has now closed that chapter of her life with him, that she has changed and settled down, confessing her intention to marry Greg. After all, the man has been by her side during this difficult period in which she has had to metabolize and overcome the death of her father, for whom she still feels responsible, and to regain her self-esteem. And after a brief fight with the man, against whom she obviously had the worst of it, at the end Nikki tells Greg that she's in love with him.

1979 (#12) - The prostitution ring, Chris's kidnapping and Rose's arrest

While Stuart is busy straightening out his tangled love life, the eldest of his daughters, Chris has overcame the crisis with Snapper months ago, happily dedicating herself between love life, family and work. During this period, it is precisely her job that keeps Chris busy, as a matter of fact she's writing an investigative report on a very dangerous and increasingly prostitution ring. Snapper expresses his concerns about the potential danger of such assignment, but Chris, who has always been very sensitive to this issue, has rejected his concerns and reassured the man that she was being very careful. In the meantime, Chris begins the investigation from two young teenagers involved in a prostitution ring run by a woman named Rose De Ville, who already has many precedents. When Chris goes directly to her to gather information, Rose denies knowing the two girls in question and immediately warns her henchman, Vince Hollyday, to follow Chris and watch her movements, since she asked too many questions. When, following the disappearance of one of the two girls, Sharon Kelly, Chris returns to Rose again, she orders Vince to take care of her. After putting her to sleep with chloroform, Vince then takes her to the basement where Sharon was also hidden. Rose's plan is to sell Chris and Sharon, now too dangerous, to another trafficker in South America. Snapper and Brock, fearing for Chris' safety and not finding her anywhere, immediately warn the police, that immediately suspect Rose. When questioned, she claims she does not know the woman; however, Rose herself immediately realizes that she has betrayed herself when, on repeating that she has never seen the woman before, she pronounces her first name: Chris. With the help of the police, therefore, Snapper and Brock save the two women, and Rose and Vince are immediately arrested. For at least some time, both will no longer be able to hurt anyone.

1979 (#11) - Suzanne's confession to Derek and her rapprochement with Jill

Derek cannot explain Suzanne's bizarre behaviour and her departure without any details; in particular, Derek misses his son, which leads him to constantly look for and call her, asking the reason for his departure and pointing out his need and right, to see his son Jamie. Suzanne, finding herself under increasing pressure by all the man's questions, agrees to return secretly to Genoa City to talk to him in person. At the opposite side of the city from the Chancellor property, Suzanne reveals to Derek about his wife's fraud, telling him that she saw her walking with her very own eyes and that she was paid to go away and keep the secret. The news shocked Derek, who couldn't believe the woman's words, even though he actually managed to confirm it in the following days. An angry Derek then decides to confront Katherine, informing her that he wants to initiate divorce procedures. At the same time, Stuart informs Jill that he is now determined to end their marriage, despite the woman trying in every way she can to convince him to give up the idea. Stuart thus informs his daughters of the decision he has made, which fills them with joy. Now approaching their respective divorces, Jill and Derek find themselves once again in the possibility to start all over and to try once more to give their relationship a chance.

1979 (#5) - The marriage to Stuart, Jill's oath, and Liz and Greg's doubts

Finally comes the long-awaited day of Stuart and Jill's wedding. Both in love with other people, the marriage is based purely on a physical attraction and the secret of Jill, who pretends to be expecting a child to gain better financial security for herself and her son Phillip. It's obvious that in this situation, the marriage is going. Despite this, however, the good intentions of the couple, who declare their eternal love in front of the many guests, are naturally the best. Stuart is happy to marry a young and beautiful woman, who becomes a wife envied by many; Jill, on the other hand, is happy to finally earn a comfortable life and give her son a peaceful future. Regretting having to lie to Stuart about her pregnancy, she also promises herself that she will soon get pregnant so that she does not have to admit the truth to Stuart and give him a child for real. Stuart's daughters also attend the ceremony, of course, who have tried to approve the marriage or not to get in the way of it, and, with obviously conflicting feelings, Liz, who carefully avoids turning her eyes on Stuart to focus on Jill instead. Next to her, Snapper and Greg support her, both strongly convinced that this marriage is not going to last long. Particularly doubtful about the solidity of the marriage just celebrated are Liz and Greg, who both have serious doubts based on very convincing reasons. Liz, having spoken with her friend and trusted friend Katherine, is aware of Jill's attempt to get in touch with Derek; Greg, on the other hand, obtains confirmation of his feelings by speaking directly to Stuart, who confesses to him his real reasons for marrying Jill. Greg knows that he cannot tell to the mother Liz about Jill's pregnancy as she would suffer too much, but this convinces him of the real feelings between Liz and Stuart, and he swears that he will do everything possible to get them back together again one day.

1979 (#1) - Stuart's announcement and Liz's astonishment

The moment Jill confesses to Stuart that she's pregnant, the man is convinced to get back with the woman and put aside any intention of breaking off the relationship. However, Stuart finds it difficult to announce to his daughters that he can't keep his promise to stop seeing the woman, and as if that weren't enough, the man is forced to tell Liz the whole truth. But as Jill's pressure to hurry the announcement grows more and more insistent, Stuart would like to take some time to come up with the best strategy that will not hurt his family or poor Liz. So he decides he can't admit the whole truth and has to keep the pregnancy hidden, even if it makes it harder to justify his decision. Stuart thus confesses to Liz that he no longer loves her and that he still has feelings with the mysterious woman he was seeing. Liz is shocked and disappointed by the news, but she cannot believe her ears when Stuart confesses that the lover is her daughter Jill. At these words, Liz is frozen and decides to cut off ties with the man in good terms. Liz then confronts her daughter, first informing her that she knows the whole truth, then assuring her that she will continue to support her as a mother by not obstructing her relationship with Stuart even though she no longer wants anything to do with her. Finally, it is Stuart's turn to make his will known to Chris, Leslie, Lorie and Peggy, who are shocked by the news but wish their father to regret his choice.

1978 (#22) - Jill's fake pregnancy

Shocked and silenced by Stuart's decision to take a step back and return with Liz, Jill is desperate for Stuart's choice and struggling to understand the reason for such a sudden change of heart. Sure that someone has convinced the man to end their relationship, Jill suspects Katherine, who exonerates herself and backs away from any responsibility, and she's determined to do anything to have the man, the only one capable of giving her son financial security. So she decides to put Stuart on the spot, confronting him with a condition he could never back down from: she pretends to be pregnant, announcing to Stuart that she got pregnant, probably during their weekend in Las Vegas. The news leaves the man astonished, who at this point lets himself go into the arms of Jill, the only real woman capable of making him lose all control. The idea of having a baby excites Stuart, ready at this point to fight against everything and everyone to be with the irresistible Jill, happy that her plan goes smoothly. However, when Jill notices Stuart's great concern, who is hesitant to inform his daughters about the pregnancy and asks Jill for some time to assimilate the event, Jill immediately understands, of course, who is rowing against her relationship with the man. So Jill starts trying to approach Leslie, Lorie and Peggy, but they reject any attempt to approach her, reminding her that I absolutely do not want to become friends with her father's former lover. Not knowing that Jill is back with Stuart, however, the woman makes the best of this bad situation and warns them that they will have to prepare to get used to her presence. Meanwhile, Jill also faces the other major obstacle that separates her from Stuart: her mother Liz. She's convinced that she's once again Stuart's only woman and proposes to Jill to put it all behind her, unaware that her daughter is actually doing everything she can to take Stuart away from her once again. Determined not to undermine her relationship with her mother and, above all, her reputation, Jill decides to wait and let Stuart, who is always hesitant, expose himself and take any responsibility for his choice.

1978 (#20) - Opposition of the daughters, Stuart's decision and understanding of Liz

Meanwhile, an increasingly incapable Stuart to stop Jill's seductive advances is persuaded by the woman to make their relationship public. Just as Stuart lets himself go for a passionate kiss with the girl, however, he is seen by a distraught Lorie, who cannot believe how her father could have been seduced by the woman. Worried that her father has lost his mind, Lorie informs the other sisters of what she saw. Leslie, Chris and Peggy, urgently called back to town, find themselves in agreement with Lorie in wanting to talk to their father to stop him from carrying on that relationship that is harmful not only to poor Liz, but also to their family. Stuart, sorry for not having warned their daughters directly about his relationship, admits he has uncontrollable feelings for the girl and claims the freedom of his choices. Soon, however, he realizes that he can't give his daughters such a hard time, the convinced that Jill is only interested in their father's money, and decides to end his relationship. He promises to talk to Jill as soon as possible and to end it with her. Then Stuart himself apologizes to Liz, admitting that he has recently been seeing a much younger woman, but without specifying her identity. Liz is sympathetic, although she does not hide her disappointment, but she is happy with the sincerity of the man and the fact that he reassures her by saying that he has ended his relationship to focus on their union

1978 (#19) - Chris' return, her friendship with Casey and Snapper's choice

The relationship between Snapper and Casey is proceeding happily, but neither of them expected what would happen next. What interrupts these moments of tenderness between Snapper and Casey is in fact Chris' unexpected call to Snapper, who shortly announces his return. Snapper is literally shocked by the unexpected call and doesn't know how to react. Upon her arrival at the airport, Snapper is very happy to meet his wife again, who informs him that she has given him a lot of thought and, apologizing for his absence, confesses to him that she feels even stronger feelings towards him. The separation has in fact confirmed in Chris the desire to stay with Snapper for the rest of her life and to settle down together as a family. Snapper, however, interrupts Chris by immediately clarifying the truth about both his move and the events of the past year, starting with the fact that he is now dating Casey. Chris doesn't seem surprised, after all, she expected her husband couldn't wait forever. She is therefore perfectly sympathetic to her husband, and indeed asks to meet the girl. The meeting between Chris and Casey is naturally a matter of great tension for Casey, but she soon discovers that she has a lot in common with the woman. Between the two there is a clear sympathy and mutual respect, so much so that Snapper informs her that they will accept whatever decision the man makes. Facing Snapper's indecision, however, it's Casey who takes matters into his own hands, not feeling comfortable in a triangle with a married couple. She thanks the man for all the emotions she has experienced during this very intense year, but she encourages him to return to his rightful place, which is next to his wife. Snapper, moved by Casey, thanks the woman and wishes her all the luck in the world, before returning to a very happy Chris. The marriage between Snapper and Chris has thus passed yet another very hard tes

1978 (#12) - Ernesto’s love declaration and the mutual feelings between Stuart and Liz

As events in Genoa City unfold relentlessly, two people who find themselves alone understand it is time to move on with their lives. We are talking on the one hand about Liz, who remained alone after Bill's death, and on the other about Stuart, widower of the late Jennifer. Both of them have suffered and continue to grieve over the death of their spouses and realize, despite the problems that didn't go unnoticed in their marriages, that accepting that they are no longer with them is impossible. Both Liz and Stuart have the support of their children, who encourage and motivate them to move forward. Their loneliness, however, is not likely to last much longer, since the two long-time good friends soon find themselves enjoying each other's company much more. Stuart is the first to invite Liz to dinner, encouraged by Jill and Greg to accept the invitation, although she had initially refused. The dinner soon turned out to be romantic and informal at the same time; Liz was amazed at Stuart's friendly attitude and his way of making her feel perfectly comfortable. It is clear that there is immediately a great feeling and complicity between the two of them, and they both feel that they have returned to feeling alive. And on their return, a happy Liz tells her children about her first date with glowing words; it is clear that she is falling in love with the man, which makes everyone happy. Completely unexpected, then, comes the declaration of love of another man in Liz's life: Ernesto Fautsch. Liz knows Ernesto well, being his great fan; and for a short time the woman finds herself in the completely new situation of having to choose between two suitors. In the end, however, it is Stuart's initiative that gets the better of the woman, attracted by his charm and personality.
