KT Stevens had a career ranging from Golden Age Hollywood to theater to primetime television to daytime television, but post-Y&R she didn't act much and she lived until 1994. From what I've seen of Vanessa, KT Stevens could have worked on one of primetime soaps but it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for the info. Hahaha, that's funny.

Hahaha, that's funny. Between Y&R and B&B, John McCook made the guest star rounds on the Aaron Spelling hit factory (The Love Boat, Dynasty, Hotel); Magnum, P.I.; and Murder, She Wrote, but I don't think any of his characters were soap opera actors. You're welcome. I wasn't alive for all of Vanessa's run but after seeing the 1981 classic she was in, I was hoping we'd see more of her during the classics but we didn't. In that 1981 episode, Vanessa stole the show from Victor and that's no small feat.

@Khan Vanessa Prentiss was on May 1976 to November 1981, so a little over 5 years.

Yeah, Lance was not a prize. I take it you're not a fan of John McCook even on B&B. Lance was supposed to be suave and sophisticated, whereas Lucas was rugged and elemental. I saw a scene of Victor and Dennis Cole Lance and I could not take Lance seriously as a rival for Victor.

Sharon Case appears to have had some bad surgeries and bad injections, plus her voice has changed.

Silk Press Sheila is the gift that keeps on giving. Same here.

The budget issues are really apparent in the final season.

I've never gotten John McCook's appeal and he has never worked for me as a romantic leading man, and that's on both Y&R and B&B.

John O'Hurley was 26 in 1980 so I think a bit too young for Lance.

Total wishful thinking, but how about Michael Zaslow? I think the timing works, as his first run on GL ended April 1980.

Writers/producers (ABC order): Bill Bell, Robert Calhoun, H. Wesley Kenney, Douglas Marland.

Even if Knots Landing continued past 1993, it would have been killed in 1994/95 by ER.

Yes. Nancy Curlee was on the writing team until March 1994. I don't know when Stephen Demorest left the writing team.

Budget mode.

From what I've seen of Dennis Cole as Lance, he was not a very good actor. The four Ls quad got derailed with John McCook departure.
