Eunice Wyatt (née Gardner, previously Twining and Martin) is a fictional character from the long-running American soap opera Search for Tomorrow. The role was first played by Marion Brash from 1957–61 and then by Ann Williams from 1966 until the character's death in 1976.
Eunice is the sister of Joanne Gardner and, at first, was very selfish and neurotic. She had a brief affair with Jo's second husband, Arthur Tate, and was so racked with guilt about it that she confessed everything to her sister. However, she fell for the affections of Rex Twining, who was involved with Arthur's wealthy aunt, Cornelia Simmons. Later, Cornelia was found dead, by her niece, Allison, and it was thought that Eunice and Rex had something to do with it. They fled for the Caribbean, and it was later discovered that Cornelia's housekeeper, Harriet Baxter, had done the dirty deed.
Years later, Eunice came back, having married and then divorced Rex Twining. She was a lot nicer and not so selfish and unstable. She met and married a man named Doug Martin who was a lawyer, and was quite happy. They had a daughter named Suzi (whom, after her parents deaths, was adopted by her Aunt Jo). Although she was indeed influenced by the women's liberation movement she did her best to make her marriage work.
She met John Wyatt (Val Dufour) whom she married after Doug died. She and John met while working at a magazine that he owned and they grew close. After Doug died (someone named Hal Conrad had pulled the plug on his life support), John and Eunice married. However, John had been seeing a girl named Jennifer Pace Phillips (played famously by Morgan Fairchild). Jennifer was quite unstable and selfish; even more so than Eunice herself had been, and she would not let anyone else have John.
In November 1976, the totally unstable Jennifer shot Eunice and killed her, effectively removing her as competition. John, although absolutely distraught, put his life back together. In 1977, Jennifer was committed to a mental hospital after it was revealed to everyone that she had killed Eunice after a murder trail that was focused on John whom people thought killed Eunice. Meanwhile, John wanted to be with Eunice's sister, Jo, but instead he was roped into a marriage with the deceitful Stephanie Wilkins who was Jo's archenemy. In 1979, John also died.
