ABC’s groundbreaking family drama Life Goes On is getting a new lease on you-know-what.
Warner Bros. Television is developing a revival of the ’90s series, with original cast member Kellie Martin (Becca) set to star and produce. Chad Lowe, whose HIV-positive character Jesse died in the original show, will return solely as a producer. (An earlier version of this story hinted at a possible on screen return for Lowe, but a Warner Bros. rep has since shot down that speculation.)

The Life Goes On tv show ran on ABC from 1989 until 1993. The series was never a hit and didn't even crack the list of 30 top-rated shows. Still, it's well-remembered as the first series to feature a main character with Down syndrome as a main character.
The TV show revolves around the Thatcher family. Drew (Bill Smitrovich) and Libby (Patti LuPone) struggle with typical family issues, as well as help their son, "Corky" (Chris Burke), integrate into the rest of the world. He eventually moves out, gets a job, and marries Amanda (Andrea Friedman) who also has Down's.
Paige (Monique Lanier, then Tracey Needham) is Drew's adult daughter from a first marriage. Teenager Becca (Kellie Martin) is the youngest Thatcher and sometimes too intelligent and emotional for her own good. After a relationship with jock Tyler (Tommy Puett), she falls in love...
