Storylines
Janet Ciccone arrives in town at Oakdale (some distance outside Chicago) on the heels of her daughter Liberty, who is secretly the daughter of TV talk-show host Brad Snyder, brother of Jack Snyder. Liberty had been conceived in a one-night stand between Brad and Janet at their high school prom. Brad and his new wife, Katie Peretti, initially think Janet and Liberty's paternity claims are false; a subsequent DNA test reveals that Liberty is indeed Brad's daughter.
Janet gets a subsistence job as a waitress at Al's Diner, and her daughter, Liberty attends public school with Jack's son, Parker. After several months, Janet marries Jack Snyder on December 12, 2008. However, Jack maintains a protective attitude with his ex-wife, Carly Tenney, as a former power couple in town. Jack periodically spends time away from Janet, in issues involving Carly.
