Who knew?

I remember her on the show. She was involved with Larry Riley's character Frank Williams during the 1991-92 season. Riley had to leave the show in 1992 because he had aids and died soon after.

Yes, briefly. Like Sonny said, her character took up with Frank Williams (Larry Riley) after his wife died. Then he left the show due to declining health and passed away shortly thereafter.

Kinda forgot that......maybe I had drifted away at this point in watching KL

I knew she was on that very short lived WTB? spinoff, "Living Dolls", as was Leah Remini.

Plus she was Sherman Hemsley's (!) love interest in a later episode of Amen. The ep was a takeoff of Casablanca - you know, the "we're running out of ideas and scraping the bottom of the barrel" stage.

LOL. I never thought of that. It had nothing to do with the original religious premise of the show. LOL. BTW, Larry Riley's contract had been renewed for another season but he died before the new season started.

Behind the respectable facade of Knots Landing's first Black male lead lay a devastating secret. Discover the heartbreaking true story of Larry Riley, the star who was forced to act out his own death on national television while fighting a silent battle with AIDS.
