This is another one of my favorites. And look how perfect Lisa Hartman's hair is through ALL of that screaming and rassling!! She must have some hairspray that holds with an iron fist!

The best part of the ending and the acting. Well the whole story. Who cares about the hair...lol.....

Oh, I agree. Julie Harris was just here. And how profound that the final shot after he's dead pans up to the billboard that says "A better tomorrow". Joshua Rush was such an unusual character for a nightime soap, like a twisted version of Ken Olin's character on Falcon Crest. I remembe the episode where Laura got in Joshua's face because of how he was treating Cathy, and he pushed her down. And when he told Val her babies died as a punishment from God... he was sick.

He was also KNOTS' best villain, b/c he wasn't a murderer like Chip Roberts; or some corporate bad guy like Mark St. Clair.

Yall have seen this, right? I think I found it through SON, but it's worth adding to this thread:

I don't know whether to laugh or take it seriously because while they aren't great, those dudes are gooooood. I'm convinced the Val actor is Van Hansis.

"Ennn Metheeeson" kills me.

Who was that throwing Anne's clothes out? I can't remember.

Some great scenes there. One underrated gem (Olivia's meltdown -- even better was the campy yet riveting scene where Abby makes Olivia see the damage done after Brian is beaten up). I tend to not care for stuff that is so overly self-congratulatory and feels false, like Val's "me me me" speech at Laura's funeral or Karen's "Pollyana" speech. You stop seeing characters.

I love the person playing Donna Mills. There's no similarity to Donna but he just goes for it, and that makes it work.

"you have become a monster" just get me every time... he nailed that accent so perfect! LOL and you know, when you mentioned the Val Actor being Van Hansis.. It DOES look like him, doesn't it?

Suddenly, I feel very ashamed to be a KNOTS fan. Not that the parody wasn't funny, but I had no idea this show could bring that out in people, lol.

[alphanguy74]

Oh, goodness Khan... you might be surprised what people re-enact in the privacy of their homes and telephone conversations, etc.. and yes, sometimes there are costumes involved. I was just thinking about this scene today, this is in my top 3 faves from the entire series:

Is the clip online where Diana gets a slap from her big brother

[alphanguy74]

Alas, I don't think it is, Carl... but your favorite scene of the whole series is there!!

you know, when you get right down to it, if they had dispensed with the clown makeup, it would ahve been not bad .

[DRW50]

Either that or had Kiss crash the stage and watch Karen try to prove she's "down with the kids" by hooking up with special guest star Gene Simmons. Gene loves Karen and wants to make her their new singer but she can't leave her family! The episode is a heartbreaker, but it ends on a positive note...Karen is watching a news report of their next concert, and at the end, Gene tells everyone to get that ERA ratified!!
