When John Abbott married Jill, she moved in and wanted to make sure that Mamie Johnson knew her place as the help in the house. She didn't want the housekeeper involved in her business or with her husband. Mamie didn't like Jill's attitude, but her dislike for John's new wife grew when Jill had an affair with John's son, Jack Abbott (then Terry Lester). When John found out, the shock caused him to have a stroke, leaving him incapable of caring for himself. Mamie took it upon herself to nurse John back to health and, in the process, confess her love to him. When she told him how she felt, John reciprocated her feelings before falling into a coma.
Jill was furious when she discovered that John and Mamie had revealed their feelings for one another. In an attempt to save her marriage, Jill fired Mamie as the housekeeper and wrote her a check for a million dollars if she agreed to leave Genoa City. Mamie was on the fence about her decision, but when John woke up from his coma and decided to stay with Jill, she took the check from Jill and left town.
