I remember the three sisters episode i think thats the first time i even paid attention to the show back then. I was a kid and to me it was mostly background noises until i had to go to bed lol.

My mom was watching and i will always remember thinking the show's name in french was dumb. I am french canadian so instead of the West Coast title we had something reminescent of a freddy krugger's bad sequel.

Les heritiers du reves was a very bad translation lol

But i think i got hooked during the who killed ciji saga. I remember chip getting empalled by a pitchfork and thinking val was dumb to pick gary over ben. I remember the abby vs olivia "Give me the keys" scenes.

And to this day im probably the only tom ryan fan out there. Joseph gian stands as my first KL crush.

Wish they had made michael fairgate gay. I always assumed that he was in the closet and with an overbearing mom like karen who could blame him?

If they did a reboot do you think they should recast the role of eric? The brother rivalry btween karens sons could have been tapped into further.

A shame that they killed linda off cuz i think she was the shows last hurrah in terms of introducing a new vixen with some vulnerabilities.

And to this day i hate the show for trapping my tommy boy with vanessa hunt at the end of the series.

Season 3 is one of those seasons I want to go back and watch again sometime. I think it's the season that really made Knots everything it would later be.

I wouldn't recast Eric. I think that Dallas remake shows how bad these revivals are at recasting these types of roles. I'd just say he is gone, and if they want drama, maybe have a not-dead Linda return with his adult son or daughter, out to scam the family.

Unless its a twin sister out for revenge i dont see it. KL never relied on the back from the dead cliché

And while steve shaw was well liked among the cast and grew up on the show i never felt that eric fairgate as a character was that relevent to prevent a successful recast.

He was just as relevent as jason avery was to me and i wouldnt mind a recast if the show was relaunched.

God I am so addicted. This show holds up completely. You could air it in 2014 and it would still work.

I wish SoapNet were still showing this, one episode a day. I have them all on VHS but who has time to fish up the tapes and find my old VHS player?

Wow JVA was on BEVERLY hills 90210? ;)

I know you meant Valerie Malone lol.and yeah i caught him on that show too. I think he was briefly on YR as well if im not mistaken but i never really followed it.

I was so mad that they trapped Tom Ryan with that awful british gal at the end of the show.

One of my personal stand-out scene was wheen Paige tries to get on abby's good side by alluding that theyre cut from the same cloth.

Abby turns around and goes:"Nah, we're nothing alike. Everything i got i had to fight for it which in the eyes of people like you is a huge threat. Cuz everything you've got was handed to you."

Para-phrasing here but this scene is what defines Abby the most. She was a self-made woman and yes she wasnt above using her charm to get what she wants but she was a fighter who would resort to (almost) any length to get what she wanted.

And the"give me the keys" scenes with Olivia is another stand-out for me.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
