I was wondering, why wasn't the foster mom arrested? I mean, I'm sure it wasn't the first time the foster dad molested one of the kids under his charge. Wouldn't she be considered a suspect of child abuse or at least of child neglect?

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but many storylines in this show seem very predictable. Of course, we may be wrong, but seems like many of the characters have very defined paths, as some others have pointed out: - Paul: Gets AIDS. - Lori/CC: The "Star '80" story. - Eileen: Her son discovers she's in porn, becomes a successful director. - Darlene: Goes to college. - Frankie: Gets whacked by the mob. .....

I still don't understand what's the point of having certain characters on the show, and by "certain characters" I mean Abby (although the same could be said about Frankie). What does she bring to the story or the show?
