Yeah, Moira Kelly was actually 2nd billed in Season 1 behind Rob Lowe, then just disappeared. I always thought Mandy was meant to be a major player. I guess the writers didn't know what to do with her.

It's crazy that she actually played on a cop show with Caruso after she played Jimmy Smit's cop wife on NYPD Blue and Smits was Caruso's replacement when he left the series.

Ironic you brought up NYPD Blue because the first actor that came to mind when I read the title was David Caruso. He was great in Season 1, won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama and seemed a lock to win the Lead Actor Emmy, but decided he wanted a movie career and apparently was a problematic actor behind the scenes. Ended up losing the Emmy to his co-star Dennis Franz, then left the show after the first 4 episodes of Season 2. Not really fired, but seems like things weren't going to work out with Caruso had he stayed on the series.

They could pass for quadruplets here.
