1987 (#6) - The Logan family and Stephen's abandonment

Down in the valley, far from the spotlights and glitter of Beverly Hills, she lives with her four children, and the humility that has always distinguished her, Beth Henderson. More than seven years have passed since her husband, Stephen Logan, abandoned her, forcing a painful separation and a life of sacrifice to make ends meet by working hard in the catering agency where she works. Luckily for her, helping her to carry on the family are her eldest son Storm Logan, who has been taking on the responsibilities of head of the family for years now, becoming very protective of his mother and his three sisters, and Brooke, who divides her time between studying chemistry, housework and a few jobs with Beth in the catering agency. They are joined by their two younger sisters, Donna and Katie, who are still in their teens, as well as their paternal grandmother Helen Logan, Stephen's mother, who, after Stephen's departure, lived with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Storm, a law student and aspiring lawyer, is the one who has suffered most from the abandonment of his father, towards whom he has a deep hatred, while the three sisters, in their hearts, hope that one day he may return. In this regard, Storm is the one who pushes Beth more than anyone else to decide to apply to declare Stephen dead and to get rid of him forever, although the woman preaches patience, especially aware of the pain that such an action would bring to the elderly Helen and Katie in particular, the youngest of her daughters.
