===1970s===
1971 saw her first real foray into daytime television securing the head writing position on “Where The Heart Is” with her future writing partner of nearly 25 years Paul Avila Mayer. That job lasted until the show’s cancellation in 1973.

1973-1975 was spent writing for ''Love of Life'' which got the attention of ABC.

In 1975 she began what was to become her best known and acclaimed work creating and head writing ''Ryan's Hope'' for ABC. She sold the show to ABC after skyrocketing costs, and was soon fired, rehired, fired then rehired again in 1987 until the shows final demise in 1989.
