EPISODE 1317 / 10.10.26

Spencer Ragan sits at the dining table in his new penthouse, a stack of papers arranged in front of him. Across from him, Elly Vanderbilt reviews a copy of the mediation agreement, making a few notes in the margins.

“You’ve signed everything I asked you to sign,” she says. “You’ve gathered the financial records, you’ve reviewed the proposed division of assets, and you’ve resisted the urge to write anything inflammatory in the margins.”

“I considered it.”

“I know. I checked.”

Spencer smiles faintly. “So we’re ready?”

“Almost. I want to go through a couple of things before we walk into that room. Mediation works best if you know what you’re willing to compromise on and what you aren’t.”

“I’m not interested in dragging this out.”

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.
