It was the beginning of the end for Whitney. She lasted on the show for 2 years after, but making her Chad's sister, effectively killed her. She stopped being fun and interesting and lost all sense of personality and spirit. They had her do a 180 and had her acting like Theresa with the lying and scheming and then dragged out the nun angle with her. Chad became an incest freak, determined to try to seduce his sister at every turn. They ruined the Whitney/Fox romance which had been building up for quite some time. And then there was the damage it did to TC and Eve. That storyline ruined the Russells and they never recovered. Didnt help that JER got lazy here and said screw them and put them on the backburner before completely writing them out without fixing the mess that he had created

Although I often went months, sometimes years without watching, I'll miss the show. My fave storyline/moment had to have been when the [!@#$%^&*] hit the fan for Eve. I'll never forget Aunt Irma's infamous line, "Eve Russell is a drug addict, a prostitue, and a whore!" I also liked the monkey and its owner who would also say to her daughter, "you listen missy, Luis belongs with Sheridan!"

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
