Ladies of the Lake - Tapa dura

Getting away with murder. Seems unlikely, but in the gated community of Avalon it’s what’s in style.

It all starts with Hudson’s accidental decapitation. It was a terrible accident. He was drunk and in the middle of a fight with his second wife. They both pressed the garage door button at the same time. The LAPD didn’t give it a second thought. Instead of grieving, his wife breathes free air again. She is a rich woman with freedom. The other wives secretly envy her.

From the outside, Avalon seems like the ideal place to live; full of rich men and beautiful women. Six couples form a close-knit friendship; the men all golf together, the women all shop together, and their six children all skip school together. But the wives begin to resent feeling like possessions and realize that the men become crueler every day.

When more husbands start dying, the so-called “Ladies of the Lake” find themselves under suspicion from the LAPD and their own children.

The six children try to uncover their parents’ secrets before the handsome Detective Daniels can discover what is truly going on behind closed gates.

Ken Corday was only a teenager when his parents, Ted and Betty Corday, first created NBC's daytime drama Days of our Lives in 1965. A year after the show's inception, Ted passed away, and it was up to Betty to carry on the show. Ken became his mother's support system as she taught him everything he would need to know to continue the family legacy.

Ken received his bachelor of arts in music from the University of California, Santa Cruz, before receiving a master's degree in music from San Jose State University.

Prior to taking over Days of our Lives as executive producer in 1985, Ken worked on the show for almost ten years, first as a composer, then as assistant producer, and finally as producer.

He has received two Emmy Awards for Music. He has also received eight nominations for an Emmy Award for Best Daytime Drama. Days of our Lives won the Emmy Award for Best Daytime Drama in 1978 and 2013, and Ted and Betty Corday received a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award in 1995.

In addition, Days of Our Lives has won four People's Choice Awards, two TV Guide Awards, and ten Soap Opera Digest Awards: four for Favorite Show and six for Outstanding Daytime Serial.

Ken Corday lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children.
