☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Standin' Boyfriend" follows a young woman named Debbie whose father disapproves of her boyfriend Bill. When Bill's friend Coach Devin calls to say Bill is away on vacation, Debbie begins spending time with the coach instead, confusing her feelings between the two men. After Bill returns and proposes marriage, Debbie initially accuses him of cheating but eventually realizes her mistake; the issue concludes with Bill and Debbie reconciling as they plan their wedding. The issue also includes a "Pin-Up Pete" feature showcasing illustrations of pin-up girls for servicemen, presented by a Marine Corps character.
Debbie’s caught between two boys—college heartthrob Hank Manners and her steady high school classmate Bill Morgan—when she asks Bill to pretend he’s her date to avoid her parents’ scrutiny. But when Hank’s reputation catches up with him at a nightclub, the lie spirals into a misunderstanding that costs Bill his spot on the football team. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Debbie must choose between the past and the boy who’s always been there.
Laurie Cabot, once shy, now flirts her way through high school romance—dancing with every boy in sight, chasing excitement, and chasing the idea of true love. When she believes Dan Roberts might be the one, she’s crushed to learn he’s engaged to Susan, and realizes her wild ways may have cost her the chance at something real.
In a tense moment at the Academy Awards, sisters Sandra and Rena Grayson clash in a public feud that ignites old wounds. When Rena is arrested after shooting Sandra, Dr. Anthony King uncovers a painful truth: Rena’s jealousy stems from a lifetime of feeling overshadowed by her younger sister. As secrets about their childhood and fractured family bonds come to light, the sisters face a reckoning that could either break them—or finally bring them together.
