Knots Landing when Linda gets her throat slit and blood spills all over her feet.

I thought Jill terrorizing Val and and force feeding her sleeping pills on Knots was scary/creepy. Another KL storyline that was creepy was Laura's rape. It had elements of "Looking For Mr. Goodbar". On Dallas I thought it was creepy when J.R. caused Pam to fall from the hayloft and miscarry. It was kind of played off as an accident, but J.R. was clearly walking towards her on his knees probably figuring she would try to pull away. That WHAM! when she fell also made you think she broke her neck or fractured her scull.

The way they are replacing Williams and recasting Amy with another actress is the same thing DAYS did with the Valerie character and not asking back original actress Tina Andrews.

I found this pilot for a series that never got picked up called "The Home Show" from 1977. The series was to be part of the experimental interactive TV system QUBE that was in Columbus, OH during the late 70's/early 80's. Viewers would push buttons on the remote to vote or answer questions that was on their TV programs. I read the show was not picked up because QUBE felt they would have to purchase a house for the series and and the cost would not be budget friendly.

The pilot episode with Betty Davis. Davis suffered a stroke after filming and suggested her All About Eve co star and friend Anne Baxter take her place in the series. They wanted Davis to return for appearances when she recovered, but she declined.

I saw there was someone on youtube uploading the Aaron Spelling series Hotel. I bought the DVD's years ago, but it's nice to see them online. James Brolin & Connie Sellecca were sexy together. Their characters were on and off teasing viewers if they would finally get together. Anne Baxter died half way through the series run. Constance McCashin guests in the first episode in this upload. there are about 3 episode per post.

Did we ever find out what happened to Lucy's friend Muriel ? She stopped appearing around 1983. Karlene Crockett who played Muriel also appeared with Charlene Tilton in the 1979 TV film " Diary Of A Teenage Hitchhiker". Liz Craig played by Barbara Babcock also disappeared from the series around the same time.

A new interview with Willie Aames.

Just a few more: Linda Evans as Katherine's jet setting cousin Suzanne who moves into the Chancellor estate. Linda Gray as Joanna Manning Cheryl Ladd as Gina

🤣 Someone from Y&R is reading these casting ideas and taking notes. Lydia Cornell or Charlene Tilton as Patty Williams Sabrina Le Beauf as Olivia Grant Goodeve as Steve Williams Lee Horsley as Matt Miller Douglas Barr as Greg Foster Larry Wilcox as Andy Richards Lindsay Wagner as Dr. Casey Reed Jaclyn Smith as Jill's long sister Angelica Karen Valentine as Jill's long lost sister Daphne

Thanks for the promo and credits. It aired spring 1979 and was not renewed. Jacobs was also planning Knots around this time. Constance McCashin (who had a role on this series) said Jacobs offered her the role of Laura at Christmas 1978. At one time there was a photo on the net of Lorimar shows circa 1979 and it had the casts of The Walton's, Dallas, Eight Is Enough and Married The First Year all standing together in a large group shot. Leigh McCloskey also did the short lived primetime soap Executive Suite 1976-1977. No episode of that show have ever surfaced, but I did find 2 promos for it.

I found this promo for the short lived series "Married The First Year" starring Leigh J. McCloskey (Mitch). Created by: David Jacobs

Did David Jacobs and the writers feel Diana was too tainted after the conflict with her Mom over Chip or did they run out of storyline ideas ? Dallas dumped Lucy around the same time.

I did see her SNL episode. She even spoofed Laurie in the Partridge Family/Brady Bunch sing and dance off. Eve Plumb said this episode was what cemented the line "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" into pop culture history. She said the line she said in the original series was not really hyped till Melanie Hutsell did it as Jan in the skit.

Thanks for finding that. Dick DeCoit....that would have been a perfect 70's porn name.🤣. But seriously that was a great clip of him staying in character while showing the vintage clips. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Carolyn Conwell also play Ron's mother before she reappeared as Mary Williams ? DeCoit also appeared several times in bit roles on Maude during his Y&R stint. They were both filmed at CBS Television City.

🤣

The Grandmother is played by Sandra Gould (Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched).

I saw her loving blog tribute about him years ago. I recently revisited it and she says that through her contact with a psychic, she claims he has confessed from beyond the grave that he cheated on her through out their entire marriage 😲

I seem to recall in the 1979 episodes when Kim was showing Barbara her apartment, Barbara remarked that it was different from Bob's. Kim said that no 2 apartments were exactly alike in the complex. There was also a scene where Bob was with his then fiancé Dana and Bob said " Hello Neighbor" and I think they gave her a house warming gift.
