"Mark and Ellen Craig"
Married in real life, William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett's portrayals of Dr. and Mrs. Mark (Ellen) Craig on 'St. Elsewhere' were achingly poignant, funny and 'real'...
The agony involved upon the scripted death of their son Stephen, and effect on their marriage on the show, was as gripping as anything I've ever seen on TV. Both won Emmy's for their work on what I believe, along with "Homicide", was the best show ever on TV.
