For Richer, for Poorer on NBC

After a seven-month hiatus, the dreary `Lovers and Friends' returned in this revamped version filled with recasts and rewritten history. The focus was still on class struggles and codependency among the Cushings and Saxtons of Chicago, but the pace was faster and the plots were more frenzied. Amid all the amnesia and adultery, a pair of `Another World' characters were even brought in to bump up interest before the inevitable falling of the ax.
