EPISODE 1314 / 09.10.26

All the oxygen seems to be sucked out of the hospital’s waiting area as Diane Bishop — who has been waiting with her daughter and soon-to-be daughter-in-law —  looks toward the commotion near the elevator bay and spots Isaac Banks, Sienna Ridley, and little Noelle.

For a long moment, she simply stares, processing what she is seeing. Isaac is holding his daughter, and Sienna is right by his side, looking a little too familiar, a little too attached.

“Isaac,” Diane says, still several yards away.

Isaac gives Noelle a squeeze and then hands her to Sienna. Then he doesn’t waste another beat hurrying toward Diane.

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.
