[Billy Nolan]

Kim Lankford in "The Waverly Wonders"

Spotted Stephen Macht (Joe Cooper) in an episode of Doubt over the weekend.
He played a retired prosecutor testifying at a parole hearing. Grey-haired but he's holding up well.

 

[Billy Nolan]

Tonya Crowe in "Dark Night of the Scarecrow(e)"

 

[Daniel Avery]

Similarly.....




I actually ran across the second-half of this film airing on cable years ago and was quite impressed with how good Petersen was in it.

 

[Mel O'Drama]

It seems wrong that I've neglected to mention him so far in this thread, but I've remembered that Harry Northup - AKA Wayne Harkness redux - played the father of one of Buffalo Bill's victims in The Silence Of The Lambs. As someone who can do great stuff with little material he was a perfect choice. His brief conversation with Jodie Foster played up the human angle wonderfully.

The troublesome Knots siblings of peter and Jill both appeared on Murder She Wrote. Jill just once as a guilty party. peter, three different times, as a piriest, an ex-Amish man, and a doctor. He was innocent all three times.

In the episode of The Paper Chase titled "Nancy", Allan Miller (Scooter Warren) appears as the mob-connected father of the eponymous Nancy, a student at the law school.

I edited the title of this thread to be more inclusive of ALL the Knots actors popping up in other roles.

Donna Mills will be popping up in the VC Andrews: Dawn miniseries on Lifetime (Saturday 7pm), playing the lead character's hyper-critical grandmother in a dream sequence.

Abby refined her baby-napping skills years before she applied them on KNOTS:

Joanna Pettet is a mute:

Despite a very green Lisa Hartman having a killer tranny (do we still use that word?) maniac boyfriend, this episode is strangely pedestrian --although it was #3 in the ratings for the week it aired in January 1977. So perhaps audiences liked pretty men dressed as ugly women (with a cute girlfriend). But, hey, it was the '70s:

Pretty 'meh' episode with Ruth Roman:

Abby and Christopher Ewing!!! And the Nanny!

An interview with Donna Mills, which talks about earlier and more recent roles...and an unlikely attempt to usurp Angela Channing???

 

[Seaviewer]

Donna turned up in an episode of The Rookie: Feds that was on here last night ("Out For Blood") as a cosmetics mogul - not exactly against type.

So, I watched the 1992 horror film Raising Cain last night. It's a Brian DePalma film where villainous John Lithgow, a split-personality, abducts children for research science (fortunately they don't show the viewer this), and bumps off whoever stands in his way.

And who should be his murder victims but 90210's Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris) and Knots' Jill Bennett (Teri Austin)!

Austin has about 5 minutes of screentime in the very first scene of the film before she is chloroformed, and the movie later shows her trying fruitlessly trying to get out of the rapidly submerging car, before showing her on the morgue table with bulging eyes and agape mouth.

Still, I wonder if DePalma was a secret Knots fan... Before her death, she is placed temporarily in a car's trunk, and what should be her character name but.... Karen!

And DePalma also introduced the fabulous Deborah Shelton to the screen in 1984's Body Double right before Dallas.

But not her voice nor her t*ts. So it was like hiring a mannequin!!!

The first "reveal" on the new season of The Masked Singer Australia was none other than Brian Austin Green.

It's all over the news...

1980s TV Actresses Cast: ‘Ladies of the 80s’ Lifetime Christmas Movie – TVLine

In one Lifetime movie we get Nicollette, Donna, Linda Gray, Morrrrrrrgan Fairchild, AND Loni Anderson. They even tossed in Peedur.

Sounds like a hoot.

 

[Seaviewer]

Please tell me that Donna and Morgan are playing twin sisters.

 

[Brian Kinney]

I hope it's as much fun as the one episode of Nip/Tuck with Donna Mills, Joan Van Ark, Deborah Shelton and Shari Belafonte.
