She had a one episode guest shot in season one as Kathy and then was brought back toward the end of season 2 as Kelly Hayden and appeared in three episodes. I always wondered if the show had been renewed for a third season on NBC if the plan was to make her a series regular. Things often change when a series goes from network to syndication (Charles In Charge and Mama's Family made many cast changes when they did) so I wonder if the Kelly character was a casualty of the move to syndication. One of my favorite musical numbers is the song "Mr. Cool" that she did with Valerie Landsburg and Lori Singer.
