About the Episode:


Oprah reunites the cast of the groundbreaking series, "A Different World," which originated as a "Cosby Show" spinoff, and was the first-ever depiction of student life at a fictional, historically black college. During the long-anticipated interview, the beloved actors, more than two decades later, reminisce about how they were cast and how overnight fame changed their lives.

Next, rock legend Paul Stanley of KISS talks about the birth defect that made for an emotionally painful childhood, the truth behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction controversy, and how his divorce led him down a new, surprising creative path. Then, "General Hospital's" Finola Hughes opens her home in a revealing update about motherhood, the adoption of two of her children, and why her husband has never seen her 20+year tumultuous onscreen life as character, Anna Devane.

"Oprah: Where Are They Now" is executive produced by Harpo Studios' Jill Van Lokeren, Julie Simpson and Veronica Votypka.
