This moment when when Val just can't help laughing out loud is precious, it is simply, imho, the best scene EVER of this series, which I loooooooooooooooooooooooooved!

Wish I had the money to create a classic soap channel . Knots Landing would be one of the soaps I'd try to acquire , Knots Landing is the soap that started my love for soap operas, I got into Santa Barbara some as a teen (Cruz and Eden my favorite soap couple ever), and now been watching The Edge Of Night.

I was hoping she would show up at J.R's. funeral during the Dallas reboot and do something similar. After all he did to her, I could have seen her checking to make sure he was dead.

Jill messed with his valene and you didn't mess with Gary's valene

Frank finds Valene unconscious and telephones for an ambulance. Valene survives and says that Jill had tried to kill her, although Jill has provided herself with an alibi, although Valene's testimony is later proven true. With doubt on her innocence, Jill was left friendless and she thereby tied herself up and locked herself in the trunk of Gary's car, hoping to frame Gary for kidnapping her. When Jill dies in the trunk, Gary is convicted her murder, although Mack has the charges dropped when it is learned Jill had deliberately locked herself in the trunk. A con artist tried to extort money from Frank and Pat by threatening to reveal their whereabouts to the people that had threatened Pat's life years earlier. Mack halted the con artist, and used dental records from a deceased family to make him believe that the Sollars (the Williamses original surname) were dead. Paige and Michael were eventually able to get out of Mexico, and Manny Vasquez's nephew, Harold Dyer (Paul Carafotes), kills his uncle when he tried to kill Mack. Paige seduced Greg and the two became a couple, although their relationship soon ended when Greg decided to run for mayor of Los Angeles. Realizing Paige would not make a good political wife, Greg instead marries Abby, although Paige keeps her job with Greg's company. Greg tried to regain custody of his daughter Meg from Mack and Karen, but he lost the case. Later, Mack goes through a mid-life crisis and quits his job, and thereby starts his own law practice. Following a health and safety report, the Lotus Point land has to be sold. However, it was soon revealed that Abby had falsified the report after she discovered that there was oil underneath Lotus Point, and created a company to conceal who was buying the resort from her partners. Paige exposed that the whole thing had been initiated by Abby and her cohort Ted Melcher (Robert Desiderio), which infuriated Karen, who was determined to send Abby to jail for fraud. Abby narrowly avoided being imprisoned, and agreed to donate Lotus Point to city as a public park. Abby then leaves Greg and Knots Landing, accepting a Trade Envoy job in Japan (a job Greg himself wanted after losing the run for mayor). Paige, meanwhile, finds herself caught between Greg and Ted Melcher, one of whom is a murderer.

I had forgotten about the Meg Story. I remember Greg crying when Laura died like it was yesterday. It broke my heart and i hadnt thought about it since it aired originally until today.

I wish the Lechowicks had half the mind to pursue the Gary and Pat story. They were so preoccupied with trying to be "PC" they never pulled the trigger on it. The later years were so uneven and at times really disorganized. But I also believe it's true when they said they gave Joan some of the best acting moments ever.

I actually did like Jill with Gary for a little bit but then she got too scary for me

When as a kid i was 8 saw him telling he hates on her everything i was like when he said chew youre food i thoaght i dont get what you say then i did . And the way she dress i thoaght how she puts it on 😂 then how she drinks i realized after years she was alcoholic . And i must say i figured out after years she was evil and he told her what she deserved .

Heck even I can relate to Patricia I had a big crush on Gary he was gorgeous me and my mom favourite character on knots landing was gary

thanks for this 10mann ... The whole Jill Bennet arc has a special place in my heart. Saw the actress on the big talk shows right as the character is killed off. She was dating the blond at the time. OX

8.20 Crazy ol' Val at it again.

Val by the tree is all of us. lol

Wow. That last scene was superbly acted. The viewer knows who really killed Jill Bennet without it ever being said.

I really liked Lynn Moody too, a pity she was killed off, I would have liked to join the team and have her bring her expertise in solving problems the way Karen and Mack did for example. She was great when she did it to help Val prove Jill was the baddy. The scene where Val jogs and snaps is simply GREAT and one of the best of the whole show. This nervous laugh has stayed with me since I firts saw that episode at age 13. KNOTS ROCKS!!!

Pat Williams seriously questioning her crush on suspected murderer Gary Ewing at 5:40. ;)

Lynne Moody is still stunningly beautiful. In a very soapy twist, saw on an episode of Tamron Hall a while back that the daughter she gave up for adoption as a teen located her and she is a grandmother now to a family she thought she would never be blessed to know. Her daughter says she grew up watching her on shows like this.

After Jill died and Gary had a mysterious new phone friend whose face we never saw, I thought that Teri Austin (Jill) was gonna play a new character a la Lisa Hartman as Ciji/Cathy, but that didn't happen

She didn't realize the reaction she would have to the drugs. She became ill, she was gagged, and suffocated on her own vomit. It was an accident. Just like Frank said "she got what she deserved". She was an evil bitch, and this storyline was great. (probably the last great Knots storyline)

Suicide due to a rope knot trick.

This was around the time the show started jumping the shark for me. When the focus of all the storylines became "lets make a sugar-and-spice kid-safe world for Meg/Bobby/Betsy". When the writers decided Michele Lee and Joan Van Ark needed to become 'yuppie soccer moms' again in their late-40s, ugh! Always thought the "Mac and Karen adopt Meg" story was lame and ruined the direction of the show.

+bleucheezy I don't think so. Them becoming moms again at that age was realistic given their character development. Val had never really gotten a chance to be a mother to Lucy, so it's only natural that when she became pregnant near 40, she'd want to have a baby. Karen became a mom again because a months-old baby girl tragically lost her mother, Karen's dear friend. Neither scenario is far-fetched or out of character.

+bleucheezy That didn't bother me. But the storylines revolving around the Sumner Group did. That shouldn't have taken up so much airtime. That got the story focus out of the cul-de-sac and into the office. The office stuff was fun, but it shouldn't have taken up so much airtime. It should've been kept to about 20-25% of the show at most, IF that. Another thing that hit the show hard was Abby's departure. This was also the time Abby was rearing to leave. The show NEVER really got over her absence. Anne was a good attempt, even Claudia, but Abby was just "lightning in a bottle" and that is the real reason the show declined. Karen and Val needed Abby as their third. Together, they were considered Earth, Wind & Fire; a statement that they've revealed was often denoted by the executives, network and the media. Karen was earth, grounded, nurturing and strong, Val was the wind, sporadic, sometimes tempestuous and chaotic, yet other times cool and calming and needed just like the air we breath, often unnoticed but yet so vital to the existence... and Abby of course was fire, passion, drive, courageous and unbridled... like fire it consumes and has the ability to permanently change ANYTHING it comes into contact with. Water becomes steam, wood becomes ash, even stones are charred and become molten. Fire is a game-changer and Abby was a game-changer. The show DESPERATELY NEEDED those three elements to work in unison with each other and off of each other.And those particularly three actresses not only rose to those occasions but played them so fluidly that NO OTHER ACTOR/ACTRESS could EVER pick up the sword any of them laid down. Larry Hagman was that to Dallas, and deservedly so. It's just a shame that the women of Knots didn't get the same acknowledgment for their contributions.

Good explanation, Jephybean. I, too, think the show lost its way with Donna Mills' departure. No matter how they tried, they could not bring that element back. It's like imagining Dynasty without Joan Collins (i.e., the first season) -- it just wasn't the same.

This was not the show I came to know and love Laura was forced to leave Knot's Landing and Jill,Anne, Paige, and Claudia were all allow to stay and all of their story lines were terrible At least in early seasons to the middle seasons Knots Landing had class and were the best. The show should have ended when Laura left to die. To keep a show going with unrealistic and terrible story lines is just plain wrong.
