As indicated by its title, this made-for-TV weeper was inspired by one of author Danielle Steel's innumerable best-sellers. The beautiful and talented Adrian (Polly Draper) is a writer for one of America's most popular TV soap operas. She is also pregnant, and when she refuses to abort her baby, Adrian's selfish husband (Kevin Kilner) deserts her. It falls to one of the soap opera's producers, the recently divorced Bill (John Ritter), to convince Adrian to give romance a second chance -- and, incidentally, to give her baby a new last name. Described at the time of its release as "a yuppie love story," Danielle Steel's 'Heartbeat' was originally telecast by NBC on February 3, 1993. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A divorced soap opera creator and his pregnant co-worker find their friendship blossoming into romance in Michael Miller's made-for-television adaptation of the novel by author Danielle Steel. Bill Grant (John Ritter) is a divorced father of two and the man behind television's highest-rated daytime drama. When Bill's happily married co-worker Adrian Towers (Polly Draper) discovers that she is pregnant, she's forced to choose between her child and her marriage by her callous husband who thinks of no one but himself. Seeking solace in the company of sympathetic co-worker Bill, Adrian soon finds her feelings developing into something deeper than friendship. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
