And as much as I enjoy the tortured romance between Lily (Sela Ward) and Rick (Billy Campbell) on ABC's Once and Again, who'd have imagined getting equally - if not more - engrossed in the story of his ex-wife, Karen (Susanna Thompson)?

I actually began resenting having to return to Lily and Rick's world.

Still, I wouldn't want her, or any of these actors, to get a spin-off of their own. That would be too much of a good thing.__"Roush Review," TV Guide (May 20 - 26, 2000)
