Wow, this is shocking. RIP.

Knots Landing got corporate with Lotus Point and I think that was in response to Dynasty blowing up and becoming a pop culture phenomenon.

Good points.

I bet Michael Filerman was p----- that Alec Baldwin moved on to bigger and better things. From the buildup of Empire Valley in season 6, it looked like something big was going to happen in season 7 but the result was a mess.

I can totally see that 🤣 OK, now lets get back to 1980s ratings 😀

You love a good diva hair toss.

Joshua descent into madness and eventual death was painful to watch. That storyline and Empire Valley becoming a mess caused Knots Landing to tank for me.

Hahaha, that's funny.

Aaron Spelling also cashed in on Diana-mania. OMG you described that season so perfectly 🤣

1984/85 the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and I think that played a part in them tanking the following season.

That I wouldn't know. I haven't read KZ book. The beef with Michelle Forbes and Cynthia Watros were reported in soap press I believe and they've been discussed in this thread.

You're welcome. So Kim Zimmer had beef with Michelle Forbes, Cynthia Watros, Signy Coleman. I can't remember if there was beef with Maeve Kinkead and/or Beverlee McKinsey.

I can't remember if this was posted earlier. Signy Coleman talks about GL starting @ 1:09:17 One-on-One with Signy Coleman - YouTube

You're welcome. 1985/86 was the season primetime soaps tanked and we can see that from the recaps.

Whether it was planned or not, Andre/Dani were off the charts heat generating from the first week.
