Members NadineC Posted November 28, 2020 Members Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Do you know "King's Crossing" ? It was an American nighttime soap opera which aired on ABC from January 16 to February 27, 1982 on Saturday night at 8:00pm for seven episodes. Cast : Bradford Dillman, Mary Frann, Linda Hamilton... The troubled Hollister family retreats to a small California town. But life doesn't get any easier as Paul's alcohol abuse puts a strain on his marriage to Nan, and teen daughters Lauren (Linda Hamilton) and Carey get entangled in romances.

Members vetsoapfan Posted November 29, 2020 Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 LML did some excellent work on night time soaps (I'd say Homefront was her very best offering). It's a shame that her ventures into daytime on Port Charles and Y&R were so...tepid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jagger1966 Posted November 29, 2020 Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I watched King's Crossing and have been trying in vain for decades to see the episodes again (as well as its predecessor Secrets Of Midland Heights) but have had no luck. Can't even find the opening credits anywhere. The only thing I've ever found are these few promos online. Edit: I stand corrected. Someone posted the opening credits on youtube!

Members Soaplovers Posted November 29, 2020 Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 From those that watched the show...was this an actual soap...or a more intense Eight is Enough/Family show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted November 29, 2020 Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 Kings Crossing debuted on a night when NBC had one of the lowest rating nights in recent network history at that time. But it was CBS that took advantage airing Disney 'Tales of the Apple Dumpling Gang' at 8 and ranking 10th for the week (23.6/37) And its movie 'Help Wanted Male' ranked 3rd (28.6/47) NBC aired 2 specials Alice at the Palace (with Meryl Streep) 5.2/8 ranking 69th and 'Caruso Remembered' 3.3/5 70th and lowest ranked for the week. In the middle was the 90 min Kings Crossing premiere on ABC 17.1/27 and a 90 min Fantasy Island rpt 16.3/27 So not a bad sampling but viewers were not interested and the ratings fell each week. ABC had a history of poor performance in that timeslot despite Love Boat and Fantasy Island dominating the 9 and 10pm timeslots. They had better luck with Kings Crossings replacement TJ Hooker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NadineC Posted November 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2020 Unfortunately, I didn't never watch it, I was too young and I don't think it was broadcasted in France. Yes, there is just the theme music : 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2020 Members Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Speaking of Daniel, you probably already know this, but he's on Instagram. He still looks good, just older. He posted a cast photo for Midland Heights a few months ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkLmLCDq-n/ If any of you know how to communicate on Instagram maybe we can get him to do an interview.
