Capitalizing on the success of "Dallas," CBS created "Knots Landing" in 1979 as a spin-off set in a fictional Los Angeles suburb centered around the lives and loves of several upper-middle-class families living on a cul-de-sac. The show's strength was a cast that consisted of both veteran actors like Julie Harris, William Devane, Kevin Dobson, and Donna Mills, as well as up-and-comers such as Alec Baldwin, Lisa Hartman, Nicollette Sheridan, and Brian Austin Green. "Knots Landing" ran 14 seasons, making it among the longest-running drama series on television. During its run, the series earned four Emmy nominations and won 38 Soap Opera Digest Awards (via IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078638/awards/)).
The cast reunited for the 1997 miniseries "Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac" and the 2005 non-fiction TV special "Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again," in which the actors reminisced about their time on the show. Of course, those reunions were quite a few decades ago now, so it's understandable that some fans of the series might be curious to know where the actors who starred in it are now. We'll take a look back at the series that, along with "Dallas," "Dynasty," and "Falcon Crest," defined the primetime soap genre for much of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the actors and their roles, and some players who are no longer with us.
