Kenny and Ginger's decoration in season one is hilarious, especially the whole bean bags/pillows instead of couches, just to show off what a swingin' couple they are! When Kenny's finally kicked out for a bit Ginger apparently went on a splurge and bought herself a couple of proper furniture.

That set was awful. I hated the architecture of the house too. The characters were a bust with the writers not knowing what to do with them. In season one there are several episodes where they are not even shown or they are given few lines. I guess they are the Chris & Tracy Partridge of Knots Landing....

IMO, Gary and Val's inclusion made the Wards redundant.  Giving Gary and Val the sort of "young, married couple" stories that otherwise might have gone to Kenny and Ginger made sense, if only because of Gary and Val's connection to DALLAS.

She has said this a few times, but I don't understand. I enjoyed her on the show and I feel like if anything, they should've continued her character after the stalker storyline. She would've been an excellent Abby replacement.

Wow! So that's the end for the Empire Valley story? Gary blows it all up and everyone is now safe?

The story was very confusing and made little sense. What were they actually doing at Empire Valley? Why were they trying to kill Gary? What sinister stuff was actually happening in Empire Valley? So many questions... Lol

At times I thought I was watching Ted Shackelford on Wonder Woman again.

Empire Valley started good in season 6 but became a mess in season 7.

Season 5 Knots Landing got corporate with Lotus Point and action thriller/James Bond with Wolfbridge but those storylines worked as they gave us high emotional stakes character driven storytelling that impacted the whole canvas.

      Wow. This show is ridiculous.

      There's a 1997 promo somewhere of Annie vs. Reva which ends with Reva throwing her purse. IIRC, from what soap magazines at the time said, that was not an actual scene but was (allegedly) a real confrontation which somehow got into a promo.  I do wish Wheeler had moved faster - maybe that was as fast as she could go, or maybe she took for granted that they would stay on. I know the show probably couldn't have improved drastically, but I do wish they'd had one year, and Irna's babies could have ended at the same time.  I have already spent enough years comparing the GL and ATWT finales, but I agree. As someone who quit watching GL in disgust around the early/mid '00s the show did remind of its old self at the end. ATWT's ending was an extended Goutman ego trip. One show had a poignant death of a character whose passing was long overdue...one slaughtered a vibrant young man so we could get James Rehborn (wonderful as he was) playing chess for homophobes.  The Grant Aleksander interview I posted a few weeks ago had him talking about learning GL was canceled because Ron Raines called him at Home Depot. He said they knew it was probably going to happen, but that believing something will happen and it actually happening are very different.

      Thanks. I just hope this choice isn't why Billy is leaving, as they should have done all they could story-wise to make him want to stay.  Maybe he had already told them he was going. I hope so.

      This is where the timeline gets a little muddy. The Bo who was in Heaven, in Beyond Salem 2 knows that Caroline died. But in this alternate timeline, where Bo never actually died and was held in cryogenics by Megan, shouldn’t know about Caroline.  It does seem like the new writers don’t have much interest in her, or in the possible pairing with Chad.

      Leslie's campiness has become irritating to me, not mesmerizing anymore.  It's getting repetitive, constantly plotting and flirting.  She's become a cartoon, sadly, and the actress is worth more than that. I want to fastforward through her, but now I watch to see her scene partners react.

      Sounds about right. I hope they use a nickname for her as to not confuse everybody.

      LOL - my mind was looking for a 'Cole' in Reva's long name, and of course that's the actor's name instead. I guess 7 unique husbands, and a couple she married twice, which gets her to 9?   Hahaha - true, could be. Hopefully/surely she somehow audited her beloved character's name before publishing.
