The show followed Katy Elliot who was a fashion designer from Connecticut; she moved to New York City to begin work in her chosen field. It followed her trials and tribulations along with those of her roommates Joan Mitchell and Joan's daughter Liz. Katy had left her hometown of Springdale after the death of Greg Ross, her fiance, who had been killed in a traffic accident before they were to have been married. In New York, Katy met and fell in love with Bill Riley, She also had contact with her aunt Millie Elliot; her uncle, Ed Elliot, who was a judge in Springdale; and her sixteen-year-old sister, Jan.
As did Days of our Lives, the show opened with an epigraph, as was customary for soap operas of the time, "No matter how dark the night, there is always a new dawn to come. The sun is but a morning star."[4]
