Where The Heart Is (soap Opera)




Set in the fictional town of Northcross, Connecticut, the show revolved around the Hathaway family and their romantic intrigues. Everyone in the family was cheating on their respective spouses and this provided the basis of much, if not all, of the story each weekday.

The leads were Diana Walker and James Mitchell , who played Mary and Julian Hathaway, one of the richest and most powerful families in Northcross. Other notable cast members included Gregory Abels as Michael Hathaway, Diana Van Der Vlis as Kate Hathaway Prescott, Terry O'Connor and Delphi Harrington as Christine Cameron, Louise Shaffer as Allison Hathaway Archer Jessup, Robyn Millan and Lisa Richards as Vicky Lucas Hathaway, and Laurence Luckinbill and Ron Harper as Steve Prescott.

The show was created by Margaret DePriest and Lou Schofield ; the pair were the show's original head writers. CBS replaced them a year after the show's premiere with the team of Paul Avila Mayer and Pat Falken Smith ; Smith was later replaced with Claire Labine .

The show was a modest success but was canceled, along with '' Love Is A Many Splendored Thing '', to make way for a new soap called '' The Young And The Restless ''. ''Where the Heart Is'' was one of the earliest soaps to have a young demographic.
