Did You Feel for Any of the Villains

The program featured quite a few characters who went off the deep end and did awful things leading to their demise. Did you feel for any of them? I felt Joshua is the one I took most pity on. I do not think growing up with his holier-than-thou father Jonathan was easy. He appeared genuinely nice and good until success came to him. It appeared to me it was too much, and he had a bad nervous breakdown. Val was correct he needed psychiatric assistance.

Alec Baldwin is a good actor, an innate star, so he knew how to make the most out of the role and have the audience feel for an abject sociopath. It didn't hurt that he looked like a god at the time.

Later, he dismissed KNOTS as "your standard soap opera." And I haven't trusted him ever since.
 
....especially if you saw his tenure as Billy Aldrich on NBC's The Doctors. Granted, the show was on its last legs but they didn't know that when they hired him. Maybe he doesn't remember much because of....certain distractions going on at the time?
