Speed link to Lauren Fenmore Nina Webster
Overview
Nina Webster was a pregnant teenager living at Rose DeVille's boarding house which was
really the front for a baby-selling ring run by DeVille.
Webster told DeVille she'd be willing to give up her baby to a wealthy
couple who wanted the baby as soon as it was born. At the last moment, Webster changed her
mind but it was too late. DeVille told Webster the baby boy died at birth. But a budding
bug named Cricket Blair had seen the couple leaving with a newborn baby and told Webster
who, at the time, vowed never to stop looking for her baby. However, Webster was never
able to get off her lazy ass long enough to make a major effort.
Lauren Fenmore, married to Paul Williams, was trying to understand Shawn Garrett. He had
become psychotic and Fenmore was afraid he'd want to jump her bones. Fortunately, Garrett
said he couldn't do it even if he wanted to. Prior to meeting Fenmore, Garrett had only
loved one woman. His mother!
Traci Abbott married the Abbott gardener and pool boy, Brad Carlton. Carlton would,
seemingly overnight, move rapidly up the corporate ladder at Jabot Cosmetics.
Jill Abbott tried to squeeze a hefty divorce settlement out of John Abbott but didn't know
the old man knew about the photographs Katherine Chancellor had.
The old woman had ordered her slave to destroy the seductive photos of Jack and Jill
Abbott together but Ether Valentine had never got around to it. Instead, Valentine put
together an anonymous letter to Chancellor using words clipped out of a newspaper
indicating she had the photos and would return them for 100-thousand dollars. As expected,
dippy Valentine couldn't pull it off and gave Chancellor the photos for free.
John Abbott ended up with the pictures but never looked at them until Jill admitted she
had slept with his son. Still not convinced, John walked by his son's bedroom one morning,
saw Jack naked and matched his body to the one in the photos.
Jack Abbott was later arrested for the shooting of Jill Abbott! He was sentenced to five
years probation with one year spent working in a soup kitchen. The real shooter turned out
to be Jill's masseur, Sven who almost got caught but escaped to Mexico after locking Jill
in a meat locker!
Victor Newman was still infatuated with Ashley Abbott and so Nikki Newman set her sights
on Jack Abbott. Ashley got pregnant but couldn't tell Victor because she found out Nikki
was dying. Victor's brother, Matt, offered to marry Ashley is she would only keep her
baby. It was the first and last abortion in Genoa City.
In other events this year:
Andy Richard's divorced Diane Jenkins and fell for Faren Connor.
At Jabot Cosmetics, Brad Carlton was in - Jack Abbott was out.
Jill Abbott got what she wanted. Twenty-percent Jabot shareholder as part of her divorce
settlement.
Cricket Blair and rock star Danny Romalotti were becoming more than good friends and
Lauren Fenmore convinced her husband to pose naked for a tabloid centerfold contest.
The Photos
The photos go back to 1983 when photographer Lindsey Wells took pictures of Mrs. Abbott
with stepson Jack while they were stranded inside a bungalow during a blizzard. Wells
later offered to sell the negatives to Mrs. Abbott for 150-thousand dollars. When Jack
found out, he tricked Wells into marrying him, got the negatives and told Wells the
marriage was a hoax. Jack didn't know that Wells had a duplicate set of negatives she sold
to Katherine who wanted to get even with Jill for destroying her marriage to Phillip
Chancellor.
In 1985 Katherine ordered Valentine to have some of the photos cut into a ten piece
puzzle. She began sending one piece of the puzzle each day to John Abbott. The final piece
revealing Jack and Jill's face was altered before it reached its destination. Katherine
made a deal with Dina Mergeron, John Abbott's former wife, to remove Jack's face from all
the negatives. When John saw the final piece he tossed it with realizing it was Jill in
the photo.
When Katherine found out she showed John all the photos of Jill in compromising
positions. John was so upset he had a stroke! After recovering, John demanded to know who
the man in the photos was. Jill refused to say so John gave her 30-days to get out of the
house and planned to file for divorce.
By 1986 Jill had become so desperate to save her marriage she told John that Jack was
the man in the photos. John refused to believe her but as he walked by Jack's bedroom he
saw Jack naked. As John gazed at Jack's nude body it all became clear. Jack was the man.

Nina Webster was a pregnant teenager living at Rose
DeVille's boarding house which was really the front for a baby-selling ring run by
DeVille. Nina told Rose she'd be willing to give up her baby to a wealthy couple who
wanted the baby as soon as it was born. At the last moment, Nina changed her mind but it
was too late. Rose told Nina the baby boy died at birth.
But Cricket Blair had seen the couple leaving with a newborn baby and told Nina
who, at the time, vowed never to stop looking for her baby.
By the end of 1987, Nina had managed to get a promise from Rose. In exchange for
$20-thousand dollars, Rose would return her baby. Nina planned to get the money from
Phillip Chancellor III who planned to borrow the money from his grandmother, Katherine
Chancellor. Unfortunately, the plan turned out to be a scam.
Phillip and Cricket were in love. Phillip proposed to Cricket and at the end of
summer, Danny Romalotti proposed to Cricket too. Cricket was confused. She didn't know who
to marry until Nina told her that she had a one-night stand with Phillip! Cricket was
going to kick Phillip to the curb but changed her mind.
Katherine and Jill began planning the wedding but were shocked when Nina told
them she was pregnant with Phillip's baby!
In 1988, Nina's son was delivered by cesarean section. A paternity test showed
that indeed Phillip was the father but Jill and Katherine wanted Nina out of Phillip's
life. They offered Nina $1-million dollars to leave Genoa City but Nina turned them down.
Meantime, Cricket had called off the wedding.
Not one to give up, Jill set Nina up with a young man named Chase Benson who was
willing to do whatever it took to please Jill so that he could climb the corporate ladder
at Jabot. Chase took Nina to Los Angeles as Jill and Katherine tried building an
abandonment case. Nina was falling for Chase but caught onto Jill and Katherine's plan.
Living at the Chancellor mausoleum at the time, Nina moved out and kept her
whereabouts a secret. Phillip still wanted Cricket but Cricket, Rex Sterling and Danny
wanted Nina to be with Phillip so they tried making Nina more respectable.
Meantime, Chase has become interested in Cricket too who by the end of the year,
was being chased after by Phillip and Scott Grainger. Grainger turned out to be Cricket's
brother.
Nina worked on getting her act together hoping to snare Phillip. In 1989, Cricket
agreed to go on a date with Phillip but sent Nina in her place. The two actually enjoyed
themselves. Later, Cricket told Phillip he should spend more time with Nina and his son.
As time went on, Phillip asked Nina to marry him.
Chase tried to seduce Nina just as the wedding was about to start but Nina
stopped him because on the way to the church, she and Chase had gotten into a car wreck.
Jill was not a happy camper. She and Katherine vowed to keep Nina away from
Phillip's money. Fortunately for the two women, Nina's life with Phillip came to an end
when Phillip was killed in a car wreck. An alcoholic, Phillip had drunk too much before
getting behind the wheel.
1989 - Nina convinced Katherine Sterling's maid, Esther Valentine, to leave
Katherine's employment so she could care for Nina's baby, Phillip Chancellor IV. In
exchange, Nina promised to help Esther meet new people - especially men. As a bonus, Nina
promised Esther she wouldn't have to wear that gaudy maid's uniform.
With someone to watch her kid, Nina began dating David Kimble who wasted no time proposing
marriage. Cricket and Danny warned Nina that David just wanted to get Nina's money since
she had inherited big bucks after Phillip Chancellor III's death. Nina wasn't sure about
David because there was something about him. Something she couldn't put her finger on.
Jill didn't like the idea of Nina with David either until she realized that if David got
closer to Nina she would have an easier time gaining access to her grandson. After the
death of Jill's son, Nina had told Jill to stay away.
In 1990, Esther met a plumber named Tiny. During a one-might stand, Tiny and Esther slept
together and Esther became pregnant.
Nina accepted David's proposal over Cricket's objections. David got Cricket alone one day
and told her to buzz off - or else. Cricket ran to tell Jill she was scared what David
might do. Jill told David to break it off with Nina but he refused.
David signed a prenuptial agreement but after the marriage, Nina ripped it up and signed a
new will naming David as heir to the Chancellor fortune. Nina also gave David money so
that he could start a new business. What Nina didn't know was that the
"business" was bogus.
As David's plan moved along he became involved with a mailroom worker named Diane. Diane
thought David was the spitting image of Tom Harper, a man she had read about in the
newspapers. Harper had been accused of murdering his wife.
Oddly, Tom's wife Rebecca, was wearing a brooch in the newspaper photos which looked just
like the one David had given to Nina.
Rebecca's friend, Vivian, wanted to prove David was the killer but she turned up dead.
David knew he had to get his hands on the brooch and did just that telling Nina it must
have been stolen.
By this time, Danny and Cricket were snooping around which drove David up the walls. To
get Danny out of the way, David planted drugs in Danny's dressing room one night and then
called the cops. Danny was arrested and his plans to marry Cricket were put on hold.
The charges were later dropped because the cops had searched without a warrant. Danny and
Cricket were married in Hawaii. Nina was the maid of honor.
Diane, who had become David's lover, showed up in Hawaii too which posed a problem for
David so he told Diane to go after Chase. Meantime, the cops had found the brooch which
David had tossed into a lake. It was only because the lake had been drained because of a
pollution problem that the cops actually partial solved a case.
Jill and Katherine freaked when they found out David wanted to adopt little Phillip. Nina
told them if they didn't stop meddling she would leave town.
In 1991, Nina found out that David had been spying on her. She purchased a gun and checked
out David's office which she found empty! While Nina was snooping around, David showed up
with Diane. Hiding in the closet, Nina couldn't believe what she was hearing. David
planned to kill her and skip town with her money and Diane. David also told how he had set
Danny up.
Nina went home and waited. When David arrived she fired five bullets into him.
Unfortunately, David survived and pretended to be paralyzed. Nina was arrested and charged
with attempted murder. Nina jumped bail and showed up at her mother's apartment. Flo
Webster was still a whore and a drunk at the time.
Nina wanted to head for Mexico but Cricket talked her out of it. Nina returned to Genoa
City and stood trial. Amazingly, Nina was found not guilty!
From his hospital bed, David continued to plot how he would get even with Nina and
Cricket. He took a body from the morgue, planted it in his bed and set the room on fire.
The police, dumb as always, concluded David was dead.
David and Diane went to a plastic surgeon who fixed David's face. What David didn't know
until he came out from under the anesthesia was that the surgeon had cut the word KILLER
on his forehead. Things weren't looking good for David at this point.
David tried to make lemonade out of his lemon. He changes his name to Jim Adams and
started hitting on Nina's mother. Flo Webster has arrived in Genoa City to hit Nina up for
some cash. When Flo fell head over heals for him, David dumped Diane and married Flo.
David's life came to an end soon after Genoa City's great masquerade ball. Dressed like a
wolf to match a costume Danny Romalotti was wearing, David pumped a few bullets into
Danny, Cricket and Nina. Unfortunately for David, Paul Williams was on the case and had
switched the bullets in David's gun with blanks. During his escape, David jumped into a
trash chute, slid down into a trash compactor and was crushed to death.
Lauren
Fenmore
By 1986, Lauren didn't know what to make of Shawn Garrett anymore. Shawn had
become psychotic and Lauren was afraid he'd want to jump her bones. Fortunately, Shawn
said he couldn't do it even if he wanted to. Lauren inquired into his past but Shawn would
only say that until he met Lauren, the only woman he had ever loved was his mother!
Lauren told her psychic, Tamra, who had lost
her ability to speak after a mysterious hit and run accident, she could stand Shawn and
wanted to get back with Paul. When Shawn found out he flipped and cancelled a worldwide
singing tour Lauren was scheduled to attend.
Shawn and Lauren went to San Francisco where
Shawn's mother had lived before dying in a 1972 fire. Lauren was able to look up Mark
Wilcox who had married Shawn's mother. Mark said he thought Shawn might have started the
fire but couldn't prove it. Mark also warned Lauren to get away from Shawn as soon as
possible.
As it happened, Paul, Andy Richards (once
married to Diane Jenkins) and Jazz were in San Francisco at the same time trying to find
Shawn. Shawn ordered his hit man to take Lauren to an abandoned garage where she was tied
up. Shawn soaked Lauren's clothing in gasoline and set it on fire. But, the hit man had a
change of heart and rescued Lauren because he knew she was pregnant.
Later, Paul and his boys ran into Shawn and
the hit man on a pier where they had been wounded in a shoot out with the cops. Near
death, Shawn mumbled that Lauren had three hours to live.
Paul and the boys raced to the cemetery
where Shawn's mother was buried and sure enough, Lauren was there too in a grave, buried
alive! Thanks to Paul, Lauren survived but the baby died. She and Paul eventually
reunited. However, by the end of 1986 Lauren entered Paul in a tabloid centerfold contest
and he won for Outstanding Professional Male. The win forced Paul to resign from the
Mayor's Commission on Pornography.

Note: in 1987 Lauren and Paul decided to
remarry but they didn't do it. Paul's mother, Mary, tried fixing Paul up with a nice girl
from the church named Dana. However, Dana turned out to be a space case.
Traci Abbott, married to Brad Carlton at the
time, moved to California to attend graduate school which opened the door for Lauren to
begin dating Brad Carlton. Carlton had once worked as a gardener for the rich Mansfield
family and married their daughter, Lisa, when she was only 16. Lisa's father later had the
marriage annulled but in time, crazy Lisa would get even with Brad by kidnapping him. Also that year, Lauren's father, Neil, died
from a heart attack. Lauren took control of Fenmore Department Stores. See Also: 1991 Sheila Carter
MARIJO MASON - September 1996
Detective Paul 'Clueless' Williams was on
the case and the local townsfolk were rolling on the floor laughing. It was so funny
watching Clueless come up with a tinker-toy type device he used to track MariJo Mason.
Mason had kidnapped and drugged the crusader Christine 'Bug' Blair when the critter began
sniffing around following the attempted murder of the great Victor Newman.
Mason wanted Newman out of the way when he obtained a fax sent by Kimo "Jungle
Boy" Volein which was meant for Jack (Kimo's father) Abbott. MariJo thought the fax
contained information which would ruin a relationship she was trying to develop with Jack.
As it turned out, Victor had given the fax to the Bug for safe keeping but MariJo didn't
find out until after she shot Victor in the back twice. At first, Jill Abbott was indicted
for the shooting but later cleared. Jill threw a get out of jail party at the RoadKill
Cafe which MariJo attended and overheard someone say that the Bug had the fax and had put
it in a safety deposit box. MariJo needed the key which she learned was in the Bug's desk
at Legal Aid.
MariJo found an old storage room in the basement at Jaw Bow (she coined the
pronunciation), prepared a poisonous concoction, arranged a meeting with the Bug at her
apartment and dumped the drug into the Bug's tea. When the Bug passed out MariJo opened
the apartment door to see someone had conveniently left an industrial sized laundry basket
outside!
Dressed all in black, MariJo stashed the Bug in the basket, tossed the heavy basket into
the back of a van and took the critter to Jaw Bow where a janitor thought nothing strange
about a woman pushing along a large laundry basket.
MariJo kept the Bug drugged for a few days. Occasionally, she would inject the Bug with a
truth serum but could never get the creature to say where the safety deposit key was.
While all this was going on, Detective Clueless had discovered his love Bug was missing.
Clueless was well, clueless. He didn't have a clue where the Bug could have gone but knew
something wasn't right. After changing into his black leather jacket, Clueless sought
Victor's help who quickly figured out that MariJo had something to do with the missing
Bug. The two decided to set a trap for MariJo.
Victor summoned MariJo to his office. While Victor kept her busy, Clueless planted a
tracking device in her purse and later, he and Victor followed MariJo around in Victor's
car. The problem was, the rinky-dink receiver Clueless was using wouldn't work through
buildings! It was too funny but when MariJo returned to Jaw Bow where she planned on
killing the Bug, Clueless and Victor managed to follow her on foot and in the end, saved
the Bug.
MariJo was arrested and committed to a
mental hospital. Jack visited her in the hospital and finally ended their relationship for
good.
