by John Genovese
(continued from Part 9)
Joanna moved out of Belle's apartment and fell in love with Robert Landers, a carefree mechanic and race care driver, with whom she began a cozy living arrangement in the back of his garage. Belle and Robert's brief mutual antagonism soon turned to a hot and heavy affair behind Joanna's back. Robert charmed Belle into giving him money for his many racing stints. Robert had a secret of his own: unbeknownst to all others, he was Dan Kincaid's estranged son and was romping with Belle only to even the score with Dan for walking out on Robert's mother, Naomi Russell Landers!
Dan was released from prison and returned to Belle, but the marriage wasn't the same. Robert planned marriage to Joanna after he made her pregnant and realized that he was very much in love with her, but Brian suspected Joanna of having cancer and recommended a biopsy. Kevin went to London to have a delicate operation which enabled him to walk again, and it was there that Robert (who was in London for a race) admitted to Kevin that he was Dan's son.
