adult daughter in a middle-class family who has returned home after a faltering affair with her live-in boyfriend Life Goes On got off to a good start this season with high praise from critics

According to the story line Corky with the support of his parents (played by Bill Smitrovich and Patti Lu Pone) has spent years in special education programs for children with Down's syndrome and is taking tentative steps into society's mainstream as a freshman in a "normal" high school He is amazed and at times frightened by the new world opening to him What makes Life Goes On so special is the fact that the young actor Burke was indeed born with Down's syndrome and is playing the role because of his own initiative and ability to follow through on an idea He had seen another actor Jason Kingsley guest star in an episode of The Fall Guy and wrote to congratulate him The two began a correspondence and when Warner Pros sought out Kingsley's mother who works with both the television industry and Down's syndrome organizations for advice in casting a Down's syndrome actor in the ABC movie Desperate she suggested Chris Burke The boy won the role and so impressed the film's producer
