EPISODE 1300 / 04.27.26

“You asked for what?!”

Rosie Jimenez stares at her husband, as if she might be able to will what he has just told her to make sense. But the explanation never comes.

“A plea. Manslaughter,” Travis Fisher repeats, arms folded across his chest, as he leans back against the kitchen counter of his parents’ home,  like he might need more support than he is willing to admit.

She lets out a short, incredulous laugh, shaking her head as she turns away from him. She paces a few steps before swiveling back.

“No. No, that’s–” She gestures vaguely, as if reaching for a shape that she cannot quite conjure. “You don’t do that. You don’t just ask to be convicted of something you didn’t do.”

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.
