I am very interested in the Joyce storyline. All of this is new to me since I did not watch ATWT in 1980. I guess if more episodes are not posted I can refer to the book I have that has the history of ATWT which was published in 1996. It's kind of tedious to read it though. Watching is MUCH more enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

stop hating on the Dobson's, they created Margo, lila, Craig, and cricket. And James Stenbeck. God how I loved Joyce Coleman. What a piece of work. She was so entertaining . How I'd always hoped Douglas Marland would have brought her back.

@@guillermoadcox01 yeah Joyce was quite wicked and unsettling. Yet years before the ATWT she played the dutiful wife of Ed Bauer and they had a son on Guilding Light....She was a great wife. then I saw her on ATWT and I didn't recall seeing her before....She was so scary and unpredictable to me . I understand why all of Oakdale especially Lisa despised her ....She played sneaky very well.

no wonder it felt so unsettling seeing this Joyce woman over the years. i knew she abandoned her son teddy leaving him for Mary and Don to raise yet had forgotten she also Shot Don Huges, i was so young and guns petrified me. i just dont understand what made her snap, Don was such a nice guy just like his brother Bob. perhaps she took out some insurance on him, i dont know or just plain evil. i see why they wanted her to get out of dodge..she didnt have a leg to stand on if she was trying to get back custody, just not sure if Don was Teddy's dad?

Hi - Grant Colman is Teddy's biological father. He divorced Joyce without knowing she was pregnant - later we learn the reason she didn't tell Grant until much later (right after he married Lisa) was she thought she'd never get him back if he knew they had a child on account of her mother blamed her for her father deserting the family and placing Joyce in a foster home, leaving her only with a glass unicorn.. So she gave Teddy up for adoption soon after birth - his adoptive parents were Brian & Mary Ellison who lived on a farm in Wyoming; in the process she forged Grant's signature on the adoption paperwork. When she unsuccessfully sued the Ellisons for custody of Teddy she claimed that during delivery and right after birth the doctors were hounding her to give him up, pumping her with medication to increase her anxiety, coercing her that a woman in her situation (lovely, single) would never be able to raise a child. Later she moved on and married Don Hughes (yes, he is a nice guy but also ambitious) whom she loved and the marriage also gave her some security. Meanwhile, Brian was killed in a farming accident so Mary moves to Oakdale with Teddy. Due to his responsibilities as a corporate lawyer, Don takes 2 trips to Switzerland, both times leaving Joyce behind while she's pregnant - and both times she miscarries - the latter time supposedly made her unable to have any more children. The latter time she was actually pregnant by Don's friend Ralph Mitchell during a one night stand but she passes off the lost child as being Don's. Ralph couldn't stand to see his friend grieving at the loss of what he thought was his child so he threatens Joyce that he was going to tell Don the truth. This is when Joyce's neurosis escalates to psychosis and she worked out a scheme to shoot Ralph and would claim she thought he was a burglar so she talked Don into getting her a gun for self protection for whenever he was out of town on trips. But the plan backfired; when she thought she saw Ralph she pulled the trigger but it was actually Don whom she shot, causing him to lose the usage of his legs (he thankfully regained this right before she returned from being presumed dead). One day, she confronts Ralph about her plan which Don overheard - he in turn confronted her so she ran off and managed to get her car to crush her against the garage wall. Ralph saved her and she's brought to the hospital - she somehow managed to escape when she hears the two men discussing having her committed. She then abducts Teddy for a few hours but just to tell him good bye at dinner, safely returning him to Mary's place. Right now she's operating like a trapped animal and leaves town in what turns out to be Bob's car, driving in an unstable condition which causes her to drive off a bridge into a river, causing everyone to presume she's dead. However, she somehow managed to escape the car, hitch hike to her hometown San Francisco, entering into intensive therapy (during part of this time she was in a mental hospital). Just as Chris & Don manage to get her declared legally dead (only 6 months later?!) she returns to Oakdale as a somewhat reformed woman. In Joyce 2.0 she agrees not to stand in Don's way to obtain a divorce so he may marry Mary AND she turned herself into the police for shooting Don with the intention of killing Ralph but neither of them pressed charges.

@@alexisdiva9 Thanks 😊 for the heads up ..That was deep....Are you sure you were not One of the writers?? They sure don't write storylines like they use to. I always thought Don was Teddy's real father who had married Mary....I remember her last name being Ellison though. I myself as a young boy was scared of Mary although she was pretty......I had saw her with the gun while walking through the living room straight to the kitchen....The tv was always set to channel 7 ...At that time my mom could only afford one television and it was black and white until 1973 My mom landed a better job to get off welfare and was able to purchase a floor model color tv ..As you probably know people who were getting help from the government were not allowed to have anything of value extravagant..If so we had to hide our treasures before the case manager shows up .. Back to the story itself... after watching ATWT Another World 🌍 and Guilding Light .. Guilding Light became my favorite for drama watching the Storyline of Roger first raping Rita And then his wife Holly...And mind you i do recall now that Ralph was her intended target...She was awaiting for his visit to shoot him ..She was quite wicked and I see Why all of Oakdale despise her especially Lisa who was married to Grant Coleman the lawyer...The woman who played Joyce was also on Guilding Light married to Ed Bauer and they had a son ..they named the boy Freddy who grew up to be named Rick Bauer ...She was a good woman on that show and she died then a few years later after Ed divorce Holly he married Rita shortly after she was raped by Roger Thorp.... Shortly after Joyce shot Don Hughes. .a week later in real time at a family reunion I witness my Aunt getting shot by her ex husband who was released from prison....He came out of nowhere shooting her first in her hands that shielded her face and then shot her in the neck and torso. Sounded just like firecrackers.. . . thankfully she survived....most of the men relatives who were older all chase after him with him getting away and was later caught.... Guns are more prevalent today but Nevertheless just as scary. .I at my age of sixty thought about purchasing one for protection in case of home invasion. ... However I do have the appropriate weapons right behind my back door and a sharp knife under my bed ....

I know Joyce is Teddy's birth mother, and she gave him up for adoption, and Mary Ellison and her husband adopted him, right? And when Mary was widowed, she married Don Hughes--after Don and Joyce had been married. But who was Teddy's father? Grant Coleman? He never seemed to have any interest in Teddy.

Ive always been curious about Nick though, considering Kim married him. I know that ATWT went on location to Greece at some point, too. I was really hoping that Kim and Bob would get together at this point, would've been the perfect time for it.

Completely agree - see a pattern here? Who are the first two (of many) new and unappealing characters the Dobsons brought in? Two burly looking men. Both flirting with Lisa, and neither being paired with her. But, both got introduced at The Wade Bookshop, which will get burned down soon. Kim's pairing with Nick was so bad - you could already see a bond between Kim and Bob, but that was ignored. Here were new characters coming in - one duping both core families, and the other the boring handyman. There was nothing interesting about either one.

***** Agree. Bob and Kim were far more interesting as very good friends than as a couple. After all, both were practically perfect, which didn't offer much interpersonal conflict, a need for long-term leading characters who are paired. Kim's role was more intriguing as the show's romantic heroine than earth mother.

***** Yes, Bob and Kim had little story in the last decade which was a shame. Seems like the writers could have come up with something.
