Shari Headley, of 'The Haves and the Have Nots,' works to prevent bullying among girls

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Tyler Perry's "The Haves and the Have Nots" is a wildly popular show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, with many twists and turns.

Shari Headley's character District Attorney Jennifer Sallison is responsible for some of those twists. Headley stopped by ABC 7 News at 11 a.m. to dish on a big cliffhanger, what it's like to work with the cast, her role in "Coming to America" and her long history of working on soap operas like "All My Children."

She is also teaming up with Saving Our Daughters, an organization dedicated to giving girls the tools to prevent bullying. CLICK HERE to find out more.
