Remember too that Knots Landing was a community-based show so it didn't have the same limitations in storytelling and expanding the canvas as the family/business conflict-based shows did.

It's quite telling that there wasn't much mention of GL in this segment.

Hold up, what happened with Chris Bernau in 1988? I always thought he left by his own choice due to his health. I think his last episode was May 1988 and we know he passed away June 1989. I'll name names: Les Moonves, Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, Paul Rauch.

B&B was tanking second half of 1995 (that overlapped w/ Y&R being off-track mainly because Nick/Sharon were eating the show and Reilly Days blowing up) thus Sheila return and Lauren moving over from Y&R. By 1996 Sheila and Lauren were hardly in each other's orbits. Sheila second run (1995-1998) there were signs she was getting played out. After that, Sheila became Bradley's break glass in case of emergency character.

Abby was introduced as a divorced mother from a working class background and we saw her working as a bookkeeper at the car dealership. She was all about the come up but she had both street smarts and book smarts to get that come up. Once Knots Landing becomes full-on soap, then Abby role as the villainess is set.

Yeah, oil companies were so 1980s. Perhaps in the 1990s it could have diversified into Lewis Energy.

Knots Landing becomes full-on primetime soap in season 4, although soap elements are showing during seasons 2 and 3.

Nicole and Carlton perhaps? I got the impression he was checking for her.

@Contessa Donatella Thank you for the link.

I am intrigued at the thought of Hayley teaming up with Silk Press Sheila. Let's see where this leads. You love hair tosses Derek is no prize. Shanice is quite the thirsty thot. First Andre, now Derek. What? Today's love scene, the passion and heat was still there, and of course set to an R&B slow jam 🥰 Finally, Kat got called out and put on blast for being a spoiled brat princess.

I've pointed this out before, but I think Pamela Long diminished Vanessa in favor of her creations Reva and Alexandra.

Ewww. Vanessa is a nasty ho and Joey is just nasty period. I don't know how old Lauren Buglioli is, but I'm guessing that she's somewhere between 35-40. We know Jon Lindstrom is 67 going on 68. The age difference is apparent.

Not that I'm aware of.

Daytime Emmys stopped being relevant once Susan Lucci streak was over.

@Taoboi Dani was killing me today, that's what I meant.

Felicia intro overlaps with Kristen being on the way out. For whatever reason, Bill Bell didn't explore the Forrester daughters relationship. If Kristen stayed, I could totally see a Kristen/Clarke/Felicia triangle unfolding. I remember some flirtation between Felicia and Clarke but Bill Bell didn't expand on it. Lauren Koslow daughter was born October 1990 so her pregnancy leave would've been during the fall, unless she took a longer pregnancy leave starting in the summer. Agree that Taylor pretty much replaced Caroline. I don't think Eric/Brooke was Bill Bell original plan, but I feel that storyline happened because of KKL real-life pregnancy. Bill Bell dusted off two Y&R storylines (Phillip/Jill/Katherine and Stuart/Jill/Liz) for that storyline.

Andre called out Dani on being jealous of seeing him with Ashley. He also reminded Dani that she pushed him away. I was done when Dani said Ashley "makes vanilla looks spicy".

The EB episode was good. He keeps it way too real.

Shanice, sliding in the DMs 🤯 Damn girl you thirsty. She was totally shooting her shot at Derek. Oh snap, Dani was not happy to see Andre with Ashley. It's about to go down tomorrow. Dani is not losing another man to another of her daughter's friends.

This month so far has been "what is this mess?"

You are NOT the father!

Hahaha, dead.

From what I've seen of Krista Tesreau original recipe Mindy, she was a spoiled brat/daddy's little princess. Kimberley Simms Mindy had some remnants of spoiled brat/daddy's little princess but her Mindy grew up and matured. Despite the initial torridness of Roger/Mindy (affair with business rival's daughter), I believe Roger did love Mindy but they wouldn't have worked as a long-term couple because the specter of Roger's feelings for Holly would be lingering in the background.

If you ignore fashion, technology, and pop culture references, The Golden Girls still holds up. Even though The Golden Girls focused on four 50+ women, its main theme of friendship appealed to viewers of all walks of life. I'd even go as far as to say The Golden Girls has aged a lot better than two shows it influenced, Friends and Sex and the City.
