Maybe "ruin" is too harsh of a word, but watered down or soften. Let me try to explain. Some of the comments that I've read is that when It's a Living was first revived for the syndication market in 1985, Cassie went from being this pushy, man-hungry woman to more of the "team-mom" (Nancy was more of an antagonist/mean boss type of figure), which in theory, should've been Jan's role since she actually was a mom.
The funny thing is that they may have also derailed Jan's character when they had her marry Larry Dallas . Before (in the ABC episodes), wasn't she going to school to be a lawyer? It seemed like that sort of ambition and sense of liberation was dropped come Season 3 and onward.
