Winnie gave birth to twins in . Will and Winnie are reunited but an explosion happens while Bill is working overseas in 1951 and he is again presumed dead. After this, the narrative of Winnie Winkle becomes more serious as she raises her two children as a single mother, staving off various romantic suitors along the way.

Already a skilled fashion designer, Winnie takes over as CEO of Bonnaz Fashion beginning in January, 1955, though “Aunt” Bessie retains ownership. But in 1967, Bessie sells Bonnaz to Armand Gilt, who unceremoniously fires Winnie. Winnie gains positive work experience on her own, ultimately cobbling together enough finances to buy back Bonnaz, with Bessie acting as intermediary.

In January of 1979, exploring a tip, Winnie finally finds her lost husband. Bill initially doesn’t remember her and must undergo surgery to regain his memory.

The sleekly attractive, dark-haired Vixon gets herself hired as Winnie’s secretary while Birdie is briefly incapacitated and proceeds to try to sabotage Winnie’s every effort and ingratiate herself with Bessie Murtagh, the owner of Bonnaz, so she could see Winkle fired and gain a foothold in the company. A later tangle with Winkle leads to Vixon’s imprisonment. Vixon returns years later in disguise, seeking revenge and the utter financial destruction of her adversary. 10/60-11/60, 7/80-12/80.

Warren/W. Wayne/OrvilleWright. Will’s wealthy and disapproving older brother, who will stoop to any length to keep his sibling and Winnie apart. When Bill is presumed dead in South America, Warren and his mother attempt to gain custody of the twins by manufacturing evidence against Winnie’s parenting. When Bill’s brother returns in 1983 he goes by Orville, but the narrative suggests he has clashed with Winnie before. Thereafter he is a near constant thorn in Winnie’s side, at various times trying to marry her. He marries Winnie’s Aunt Bessie, a courtship that results in the latter’s death in 1985 when Orville pulls Bessie in front of him to take a bullet intended for him. 4/37-6/37, 5/53-9/53, 4/58, 3/82-12/82, 7/83-8/85, 12/85, 9/86-10/86, 2/87-6/87, 11/87-2/88, 6/88-11/88, 4/90-6/90.
