The beauty of this confrontation between KL's Abby and Val is that, when you really think about it, neither woman is all that wrong.

And this sequence features (IMO) some of the best acting in Donna Mills' entire career:

Julie Harris will always be a national treasure.  And she never should have been written off KL.

@Khan I love all those Abby/Knots scenes. I was trying to find the "Abby scale" scene, which is one of my favorite scenes with her, but don't know where it is. Around 5 minutes in this does have a good Abby/Paige scene - LML and Lechowick didn't bother to hide their preferences in this rivalry, but I'm glad that Abby still got to have the last word.

Moniz was fabulous- and when she unraveled it was amazing.  My family’s favorite Dinah also.  It’s not on YouTube anymore I don’t think but there were scenes of her and Cassie going at it (Laura Wright) and also Dinah and her mother Vanessa where she implies she slept with Matt.

I thought Moniz struggled for years but was at home with the bitchy, vulnerable, unhinged Dinah of 98-99. Rauch made a lot of mistakes but he got that one right. Even the "scar" story, which often amounted to poor Moniz having to hold a napkin to her cheek, worked.

“Do your biological twitchings in HIS bedroom!” India spitting all kinds of venom in Reva’s direction. So many great lines, and I love the way MKA says “blessings.”

I wish I could have watched the great confrontations between Bev’s Alex and MKA’s India live. Such great hate chemistry. Their scene starts at 6:35.

Sheila trying to drown Stephanie on B&B. I wasn’t a viewer of B&B until too late, but I love how KB went toe to toe with La Flannery.

@Faulkner thank you for posting that Reva and India clip. I've watched so little of that period. Mary Kay Adams is absolutely riveting to watch - she takes those delicious lines for all they're worth and slowly builds India up to a woman possessed with rage and horrible insecurity. And Zimmer (who, other than her hair being too fried, always suited that era of style more than the '90s I think) underplays the whole thing to achieve the perfect balance. MKA is just so incredible. You can see why a character who on paper was always a bit thin managed to stay around.

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
