    "Something So Right provides all the trials and tribulations that come in a modern day household of three kids, a mom and a dad, an ex-wife and two ex-husbands. It all started as just another parent-teacher conference when Carly Davis met her son's teacher, Jack Farrell. However, their chemistry was undeniable and Carly and Jack fell in love. With a reaffirmed belief in love and marriage, the twice-divorced Carly married the divorced Jack and they lived happily ever after... with just a little effort. Carly is the mother of two children, 15-year-old Will from her first marriage to semi-employed musician Dante Pacino, and 12-year-old Sarah from her second marriage to intense businessman Sheldon Kramer. Now on her third marriage, Carly has not only gained a husband but also a 16-year-old stepdaughter Nicole, and Jack's ex-wife, the neurotic actress Stephanie Farrell." (ABC press materials)
