Done! Enjoy! 🙃

I'm at Season 11 episode 3. I think Val's IQ dipped.

 

Val said she didn't know what to write about.
She just lived thru hell with Jill and could write about something based on her and Ben

She doesnt know Danny yet she is ready to marry him -- despite being burned so much in the past

Plus there are NO obstacles between she and Garry

 

I’ve been rewatching Party of Five and when I reached season five, the quality instantly dropped and it was such a jarring shift I was curious if they changed show runners. Then I noticed in the credits that John Romano joined as EP and it explained it all. He’s the same man who ruined Knots Landing in season 13. Just a dreadful writer when it comes to soaps.

That is a wild connection. I remember PO5 getting weird, though I was not a constant viewer.

For anyone who cares: Still have a slight backlog of notes going into the end of Season 6, so I'm going to try to tie those off this weekend or next week but don't quote me. I was planning to sync up and watch the creative swap at Dallas and KL together in their concurrent seasons, but I'm probably going to wait on that a little bit until I can secure further constant access to Knots or unless I get lucky on some corner of the Net. It's definitely going to sting to watch the new remasters of Dallas in HD on FreeVee(?) while looking at these poor old Knots recordings.

For fun I asked ChatGPT to write me a synopsis for a Knots Landing reboot and I was impressed how interesting this concept sounds. Granted I didn't mention any of the original characters so it didn't factor them in.

"Knots Landing" was a popular American prime time soap opera that aired from 1979 to 1993, which revolved around the lives of several families living in a cul-de-sac in California. Here's a synopsis for a modern reboot of the show:

The new "Knots Landing" follows the lives of three families living in a luxury gated community in Los Angeles, where they navigate their personal and professional lives while dealing with their secrets, betrayals, and scandals.

The first family is the wealthy and influential Wallaces. Patriarch Adam Wallace is a powerful business tycoon who built his empire from scratch, but his ruthless tactics have alienated his wife, children, and colleagues. His wife, Victoria, is a former actress who struggles with alcoholism and regrets marrying Adam for his money. Their son, William, is a rising star in the tech industry, but his ambition and obsession with control strain his marriage to his wife, Emily, who feels trapped in their loveless relationship. Their daughter, Grace, is a rebellious teenager who challenges her parents' values and forms an unexpected bond with their neighbor, Matt.

The second family is the middle-class and relatable Nguyens. Husband and wife, Michael and Jessica Nguyen, run a successful Vietnamese restaurant and balance their work with raising their two daughters, Ava and Mia. Michael is a former Marine who suffers from PTSD and struggles to connect with his family emotionally. Jessica is a devoted mother who dreams of expanding her business and becoming a mentor to other immigrant women. Ava is a college student who rebels against her traditional upbringing and falls in love with a non-Asian guy, while Mia is a gifted artist who hides a dark secret from her family.

The third family is the young and ambitious Scotts. Brian and Nicole Scott are a power couple who recently moved to the community to start their own marketing firm. Brian is a charismatic entrepreneur who exudes confidence and charm, but his past indiscretions and ego put his marriage and career at risk. Nicole is a driven and independent woman who struggles to balance her work and motherhood, especially when her daughter, Sophia, starts exhibiting signs of a developmental disorder. Sophia's condition becomes a source of tension between Brian and Nicole, who disagree on the best approach to parenting.

As these families intersect and clash, they uncover a web of lies, betrayals, and mysteries that threaten to tear them apart. From illicit affairs to corporate espionage, from mental illness to family secrets, "Knots Landing" explores the timeless themes of love, loyalty, and survival in a modern setting.

2x14 is such a tour de jour for Abby. She's showing herself there. Purely fierce.
