Question Annie Fairgate (Karen Allen)

Was she ever seen/mentioned again? Or did she end up in oblivion like Chuck Cunningham, Judy Winslow, Carl Dixon, etc.??

Thanks, Sonny! I am really loving Season 1 so far (the first time I've ever seen it).

Karen Allen's Annie character was only seen in the Knots Landing pilot, which aired in December 1979. Annie Fairgate was Sid's oldest daughter (from his first marriage) and was a troublemaker. She was constantly acting out, everything from reckless driving to getting caught with a young man in Sid and Karen's bed! With a little help from Val, Annie ended up making amends at the end of the episode. Then she vanished, never to be seen or heard again!

Whatever happened to Diana Fairgate? She left for New York and we never saw her again either. After that mess with Chip...oy vey. She never was seen again and her mother went through hell after Diana left and she could have used her daughter's shoulder to cry on.

Diana was such a b*tch to her parents, especially her mother.

Yea Sid bit the bullet. He was in a car accident at the end of the 2nd season forced off the road by a couple goons Gary was doing business with. Actually I think they cut his break lines...its been a long time since I saw these episodes. Anyway Sid was in a couple episodes at the beginning of the 3rd season where he had to have surgery. Needless to say he didn't make it. Very sad episodes.

Diana did return to the show for a few episodes during the last season. But you're right...up until then she was not even mentioned after she left KL.

From what I heard, Don Murray quit the show in a contract dispute, so the character of Sid was killed off. I do like the fact that Karen was able to love again, and had another successful marriage with Mack (played by Kevin Dobson).

I loved Mack. I thought he was a great man to be paired with Karen. Excellent match.
