Do you have any clips of John & Jill's 1st wedding? Or any clips of Deborah Adair as Jill?

[aussieguy34]

No I don't, sorry.

I remember this s/l well. Poor virginal Patti got seduced by Jack, moved in with him and then had a shotgun wedding. Terry Lester was the man. I love Peter Bergman but Terry was in a class by himself.

absolutely NOT the story. Wikipedia is written by fans, no experts. And I watched this story unfold in real time. Patty was a sweet, naive girl who was having a budding relationship with nice-guy Danny. Then Jack swept in for a fling, but (I forget why) married her. She DID become paranoid later but he was really crappy to her. Emotional abuse. Lilibet's Patty was better, even though not a great actress, she did well within the role. As much as I loved Andrea as Tina, bust as Patty

Even, John tried to tell the truth about his son Jack to Patty.

Silly Patty. Jack's not for you.

Oh dear Patty! Listen to John about the inner well being!!

[jodicoady]

[AstralPixie]

This was such a classic bad boy-good girl scenario.

Wow now think about her charcter got all screwed up because of Jack she tried to murder someone she got plastic surgerey and now she's all messed up

@yandrfan4ever there's a clip but it isn't really a good one. it's invested too much in Katherine's diatribe(don't marry her!) what would've interested me was seeing the Abbott Children(Jack, Ashley and Traci) flinchingly, patiently and quietly sitting through the ceremony...and I'm sure everyone else in GC found John's behavior appaling too.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@SoapsGoldenAge Yeah well then you would also know that before Andrea's Tina left, Jack had helped Patty recall the drama that got her to shoot Jack 5 times(rightfully I'd say) in therapy(which Patty forgot shortly afterwards and miscarried) she remembered and the two decided that they were even, she signed the divorce papers and took off for parts unknown.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@brieuse007 Well Y@R had already been on the airwaves for 34 years. I suggest you check your homework and history background research to suggest how everything's relative around GC. A lot of shit went down way before this period. That's how I decide on whether I want to watch a new show: checking into fabulous history to see who did what to who and how this person has gone, general connections

[imachildofthe80s8089]

@NFitalianGuy I can't belief that they print such garbage on Google. Somebody oughta check and have the website turned down...and the account of the person who put it up so he cannot do that again. There is nothing that suggests that Eileen ever was a man. And this is something that got settled when Elieen and Eric Braeden appeared on Phil Donahue several years ago and they set the record straight.

Oh I remember this marriage. Patti eventually shot two in Jack's chest and one his back or vice-versa. Then comes the wheel-chair stage, and after that, the kill-or-cure, dangerous surgery Jack insists on so he'll walk again. 18 months after that, he's out at the Abbott poolside sexually baiting stepmommy Jill in a pair of Speedos, not a mark on him. That's soaps for ya, folks.
