This early NBC daytime soap centred around Dr Eve Allen (Anne Burr), who returned from the Korean War and moved to the small town of Ridgeton in Connecticut to take over her uncle’s small-town practice when he passed away.
The original storylines featured her love affair with fellow physician Phil Stone (Philip Foster); her interactions in the lives of her patients and friends – such as Jim Hanson (Jack Klugman), who faced tough business decisions, and Ned Blackman (Ward Costello), a dealer in the baby black market who narrowly avoided problems with police and a suspicious Dr Stone through his good works, such as saving Eve from an accidental hotel fire – and her struggle to break down the prejudices faced by a woman in the field of medicine.
The series was broadcast live from studios in Philadelphia.
