Marvin Kaplan Henry. The latter years of the show focused on some character development, such as the hasty courtship and marriage of Vera and lovable cop Elliot Charles Levin.

The show stars Linda Lavin in the title role, a widow who moves with her young son to start life over again, and finds a job working at a roadside diner in Phoenix , Arizona. Most of the episodes revolve around events at Mel's Diner, where Alice is employed. Alice Spivak Hyatt Lavin is an unemployed widow after her husband Donald is killed in a trucking accident, and with her young son Tommy played by Alfred Lutter in the television pilot , reprising his role from the film, but portrayed by Philip McKeon thereafter heads from their New Jersey home to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career. Her car breaks down in Phoenix, and viewers meet her soon after she has taken a job as a waitress at Mel's Diner, in Phoenix. The later seasons' exterior shots were of a real diner, named Mel's, still in operation in Phoenix. Alice works alongside Mel Sharples Vic Tayback , the grouchy, stingy owner and cook of the greasy spoon, and fellow waitresses and friends, sassy, man-hungry Florence Jean "Flo" Castleberry Polly Holliday , and neurotic, scatterbrained Vera Louise Gorman Beth Howland. With a single exception, episodes started inside the diner, and most if not all subsequent scenes took place there as well.
