EPISODE 1299 / 04.19.26

The house is still dark, the kind of blue-gray quiet that belongs to an hour when most people are not yet out in the world.

Travis Fisher comes down the stairs expecting stillness. After everything that happened in New York, he expects to find his wife curled up on the couch in pajamas, a blanket around her legs, maybe her decaf coffee cooling untouched while the morning news murmurs low in the background.

Instead, Rosie is at the front door in jeans and a sweater, one hand braced against the wall as she maneuvers her shoes onto her feet, her now-prominent pregnant stomach making the task more complicated than usual. He stops short.

“Rosie,” he says.

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.
