In an all-new episode of the popular series "Oprah: Where Are They Now?," Oprah sits down with "All My Children's" Debbi Morgan, who breaks her long held silence about the domestic abuse that has plagued her family for generations. GMA's Amy Robach and husband Andrew Shue share what life is like today for their blended family of seven, and how Amy's on-air mammogram, which began as a precautionary example for women everywhere, turned into a courageous and successful fight against breast cancer when results showed the disease was present. Amy also praises the support from her GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts, specifically a surprise visit from Roberts on the first day of her first round of chemo.
Allison DuBois, the real-life medium whose successful work on murder cases led to the creation of the hit series "Medium," starring Patricia Arquette, reveals the surprising impact the TV show had on her work and her family. Plus, the former "Oprah" show guest who shopped her family broke reveals what the on-air
INTERVENTION UNCOVERED in her life, and how she was able to pull her family back from
THE BRINK of financial ruin. The show airs Saturday, October 3 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Debbi Morgan's Family History of Domestic AbuseHow Robin Roberts Supported Amy Robach During ChemoWhy Psychic Allison DuBois Was "Relieved" When Medium Ended
About the Episode: Her role as Dr. Angie Hubbard on "All My Children" earned her a Daytime Emmy Award and, from the outside looking in, her life seemed perfect. Now, the popular actress, who has been married four times, explains how she came to recognize her own part in a cycle of domestic abuse that was perpetuated in her first three marriages, and how she has managed to escape that cycle, as recounted in her book The Monkey On My Back: A Memoir - Breaking a Generational Curse.
In 2013, "Good Morning America" co-anchor Amy Robach underwent her first mammogram ... on the air. What she found out shook her to the core, and ultimately empowered her to take charge of her life, her health and to live her life to the fullest with the help of GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts. Now, Amy and husband Andrew Shue reflect on the past two years, their cancer recovery journey, and how they find joy and happiness in every day.
When Allison DuBois became the inspiration for the hit TV series "Medium," she had no idea how it would affect her life, her family and her work. From her home in Phoenix, Allison shares the impact the show has had, both good and bad, and why she is actually glad it's over. Lastly, Felice, the "Oprah" show guest and mom who spent until her family was beyond broke, opens up about how she used the "Oprah" show INTERVENTION to do something about the way she was living.
