“At least we have something to be thankful for this year,” Natalie Bishop says as she holds a steaming mug of coffee between both of her hands. She has her legs pulled up under her on the deep, cushy sofa from Restoration Hardware that consumes much of the real estate in the family room of her home. Her college-aged daughter sits nearby, drinking her own coffee. On the TV, the Thanksgiving Day Parade being broadcast from New York plays at a low volume, though neither woman is paying much attention to it.

“Mom,” Bree Halston says in a warning tone. “She was still Peter’s grandma.”

Natalie lets out a sigh. “You sound like Spencer.”

“I mean… Loretta was his mom…”

From our 20th anniversary in 2017:

Restauranteur Bill Fisher and his wife, Paula, raised four children in the scenic Northwest town of King’s Bay, Washington. Those children — Tim, Molly, Sarah, and Jason — grew up to have lives full of intrigue, passion, danger, heartbreak, and more. Since October 1997, Footprints has been telling the uninterrupted story of the Fisher family and their friends and foes… a story told in the vein of television’s great daytime dramas… a story with no end.
