Another Life is an American television soap opera produced and broadcast by the Christian Broadcasting Network from June 1, 1981 to October 5, 1984. It was co-created by Roy Winsor and Bob Aaron, and ran for 875 episodes.
Another Life attempted to combine standard afternoon intrigue with religious overtones, as many characters were portrayed as born-again Christians who relied on the power of prayer to solve their problems.
Through its run, Another Life revolved around the Davidson family, including widowed matriarch nurse Terry Davidson (Mary Jean Feton), teenage son Peter (Darrel Campbell), and daughter Lori (Jeannette Larson and later Debbie McLeod), who later married Dr. Ben Martin (Matt Williams), as well as their friends and neighbors. The show's main villains were Terry's half-sister, Nancy Lawson, her former lover and local businessman Charles Carpenter, and his daughter Miriam Mason; the latter later became a born-again Christian as well. In a nod to how The Secret Storm began its story, Terry's husband Scott Davidson and Nora Lindsay (Terry and Nancy's mother) were killed in a car accident on New Year's Eve. One of the show's more successful alumni, Susan Scannell, who played aspiring model turned singer, Becky Hewitt, joined the cast of Search for Tomorrow after Another Life's cancellation.
Set in the fictional town of Kingsley, the show was taped in CBN's hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
