In the scheme of things, teenager Daisy Lemay was a major character on the 
recently-deceased "Guiding Light."

Several years ago, she became pregnant by her boyfriend/stepbrother, and had 
an abortion without telling.

And unlike other soaps, where the character subsequently becomes mentally 
unstable (Ashley on Y&R) or gets the abortion reversed (Erica on AMC), Daisy 
just went on with her life. Sure, the BF/stepbrother wasn't happy....
