In soap opera Today Is Ours, Laura Manning was assistant principal of Bolton Central High School and the episodes followed her struggle with being a newly divorced mum (something very daring at the time, this was the first US TV portrayal of a divorcee), managing the household and holding down a steady job.

Laura also had a new love interest on the horizon in the form of architect Glenn Turner. Plotlines generally revolved around problems at school and romantic shenanigans
