Soap Season 1 Episode 15

This episode introduces Elaine, Mr. Lefkowitz' sex-starved and ill-fated daughter who is willing to help Danny for a price. Dinah Manoff (Elaine) is the daughter of Oscar-winning actress Lee Grant, who starred in Susan Harris' very first, short-lived, acclaimed sitcom, Fay (1975). Of course, Manoff, who would enjoy success on Broadway as well, would continue her relationship with the Witt/Thomas/Harris team when she joined the cast of "Empty Nest," playing daughter to Richard Mulligan, who played her father-in-law, Burt, on "Soap."

Inga Swenson (Ingrid) would terrorize the Tates and Campbells for a year or so before vanishing and presumably dropping her vendetta against them. Of course, in real life, the actress moved on to Soap spin-off Benson, along with Robert Guillaume (Benson) and Caroline McWilliams (Sally/Marcy), where her character terrorized the governor's mansion for seven years. Swenson would also make a guest appearance on yet another Witt/Thomas/Harris series, Golden Girls, in 1989.
