After Charlotte is bitten by a rattle snake, she asks Michaela on her death bed to look after her three children, Matthew (played by former child actor Chad Allen), Colleen (played by Erika Flores and later Jessica Bowman) and Brian (played by Shawn Toovey). Dr. Mike settles in Colorado Springs and adapts to her new life as a mother with the children while eventually finding love with Sully.
