Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When the soap opera first aired, which of these families was NOT a resident of the community in 1973?

Answer: Abbott

The Abbotts did not appear until 1980. John Abbott and Dina Abbott (Mageron) were the parents of Jack and Traci. Ashley's parents were Dina and Brent Davis. Later, after Dina left Genoa City and they divorced, John married Jill Foster Abbott. John and Jill had a son, William "Billy" Foster Abbott.

The Chancellor's consisted of Phillip Chancellor II and Katherine. Katherine had a son, Brock, from her marriage to Gary Reynolds. The Brooks' were: Stuart, who was a newspaper editor and he had four daughters. Leslie, who was a concert pianist; Lorie, who was a writer; Chris, who married Snapper, and Peggy, who was involved with Steve Williams, but later they left Genoa City separately.

The Foster's were: Bill and Liz, Snapper, Greg, and Jill. Snapper was a doctor, Greg was a lawyer, and Jill worked as a cosmetologist to put her brothers through college.
2. In 1980, a hit man was hired to kill Greg. Who got shot in the crossfire?

Answer: Liz Foster

The plans were for Greg to get killed. The hit man shot Liz instead. Thankfully, she recovered! Liz always has been one of my favorite characters on the show.
3. What was the name of the mobster that Paul Williams, Andy Richards, Tyrone and Jazz Jackson took down?

Answer: Mr. Anthony

Paul Williams, Andy Richards, Jazz and Tyrone Jackson were trying to break Mr. Anthony's operation. Tyrone went undercover to disguise himself as a white man and married Mr. Anthony's daughter, Alana. Mr. Anthony died, and Alana left town.
4. Who did Victor hide in his basement because his wife, Julia, had an affair and lover?

Answer: Michael Scott

Julia was in love with Brock Reynolds, but the two went their separate ways. Victor secretly had a vasectomy. Julia was upset when Victor gave attention to Lorie Brooks and later, Eve Howard arrived in town. Michael Scott, who was a photographer, owned his own studio and became friends with Julia when Scott's firm became part of the Jabot Cosmetics team. Julia began modeling for Jabot, so the two were part of a working team. Scott and Julia had an affair and Victor found out about it because Julia was pregnant; so he held Michael captive in the basement. Julia found out that Michael was being held captive and Victor intervened.

The two struggled and Julia fell down the stairs and lost the baby. Later, Victor found out that the baby was his and Julia left with Michael.
5. After Carl left Genoa City, who did Mary Williams become involved with?

Answer: Charlie Ottwell

Charlie and Mary were headed toward a wonderful relationship with a possible future. Charlie even asked Mary to marry him! Around this time, Carl was found to be alive and Mary tried to reconcile with him. Eventually Carl and Mary went their separate ways, Jim Bradley (AKA Carl), went back to Ruth and Mary remained in Genoa City. Apparently Charlie gave up and the relationship with Mary ended.

She returned to her old ways of nit-picking at her son, Paul.
6. When Victor was in his office at Newman Enterprises, he had a heart attack. Who did not help him and left him to die?

Answer: Jack Abbott

Victor was in his office and Jack visited him at Newman Enterprises. The two exchanged words and it became a full blown argument between 'The Black Knight' and 'Smiling Jack'. At one point, Victor put his hand on his chest, clutching it in pain and Victor asked for his help. Jack walked out of this office happy as could be. Needless to say, Victor recovered from the incident.
7. Who was the father of Esther's daughter, Kate?

Answer: Tiny the Plumber

Esther had left her employment with Katherine Chancellor to take care of Nina Webster Chancellor's son, Phillip. Nina and Esther had fun at a bar and Esther had a one night stand. Katherine had hired someone else to replace Esther, only to have them betray her.

They held Katherine and Esther hostage, while an impostor took over the reins. Esther realized she was pregnant and later, after their release, Esther had Kate Tina Valentine. There was a time when Esther had a fling with Miguel. Esther felt responsible for Rex's death due to the consequences of her illegal marriage to Norman and the plot by Clint Radison.
8. Who was not actually an Abbott family member?

Answer: Ashley Abbott

Ashley's mother was Dina Mergeron, who had an affair and her father was Brent Davis. Ashley found out the truth of who her father was when Brent was dying. Jack Abbott and Ashley know the truth but very few others do.
9. Nina had a baby and it was stolen from her and sold on the black market. Who was head of this baby smuggling ring and stole him?

Answer: Rose DeVille

Rose gained Nina's trust by allowing her to stay in a boarding house for unwed mothers, but at the same time, her friend, Cricket, was suspicious of the situation and devised a plan to try to stop the black market baby smuggling ring. It was discovered in 2011 that Nina's long lost son was FBI agent Ronan Malloy, played by actor Jeff Branson. Ronan also spent time on the Genoa City police force after accepting an organ from his brother Phillip.

He and Phyllis had a brief, but very intense affair during his stay in town.
10. Who was Jack's secretary when he was at Jabot Cosmetics?

Answer: Carole Robbins Evans

Carol was Jack's secretary for many years. She was one of the best secretaries Jabot ever had. Carol walked with a limp, using a cane from having polio and was very self-conscious of her disability. Carol married Skip Evans and they left Genoa City. Chantelle was Michael Baldwin's secretary and Lynn was formerly Paul's secretary. Eve Howard was formerly Victor's secretary.
