Alice was a young nurse when she met construction businessman Steve at Walter and Lenore Curtin's wedding reception on July 2, 1968. Alice's sister-in-law, Rachel (Robin Strasser), was just as impressed as Alice with the handsome young Mr. Frame, who had bought into the Bay City Bengals football team and seemed to be going places. Alice and Steve began spending time together and it wasn't long before they became engaged. When the couple had a minor argument and called off their engagement, Rachel made her move. She seduced the brooding Steve and became pregnant. She tried to pass the baby (Jamie) off as Russ's child but when the truth came out, Alice fled to Paris and Russ dumped Rachel. Rachel tried to convince Steve to get married but he was still in love with Alice eventually marrying her on September 24, 1971. Rachel then married Ted Clark but he was sent to prison and she began to lean on Steve for assistance. Alice felt insecure about Steve's growing bond with Jamie and those feelings only escalated when she miscarried their own child.
