Bare Essence

Bare Essence is an American television soap opera which aired on the NBC network during the 1982-1983 season. The series revolved around Tyger Hayes' efforts to succeed in the business world. In the first episode, her new husband Chase Marshall is killed in a racing car accident. Chase's father Hadden opposes Tyger's efforts to join the family business, Kellico, but she is encouraged by Hadden's sister Margaret to try her hand with a new line of perfumes. Ava, the widow of Hadden's other son, is concerned that any success Tyger might have will undermine her son Marcus' position in the company. Both Ava and Marcus' wife Muffin plotted to undermine Tyger's success. To this end, Ava eventually seduces and marries Hadden. Tyger's mother, Lady Bobbi Rowan, falls in love with a Greek millionaire, Niko Theopolous, who wants to exact revenge on the Marshalls.
