They look almost identical, at around the same age.

Wow, she really does look like her mother. So sad that she was only 3 and in the backseat of the car when Jayne died.
Amazing that all three children survived the crash. Being in that backseat certainly saved their lives. That accident actually led to new safety measures for trucks.

Yes, it definitely did. Interesting, I didn't know that. At least some good came out of the tragedy.

Wow, I just read that Jayne's father died of a heart attack while driving the family when she was also 3. Holy cow, talk about eerie.

Like mother, like daughter. It was too bad Jayne died so young, in tragic circumstances and the fact Mariska was just aged 3 is very heart wrenching.


Presumed only child Carly Fixx has just arrived in the grape growing Tuscany Valley but Dan (who she thinks is her brother) is trying to make sure her stay is limited. He sets her to work in the Agretti vineyards; after Melissa's approval, (a scene from season 7, 1987 - '88):

Carly: "Well at least I can work on my tropical tan."

Dan: "A little hard work will be good for you."

Carly: "Oh yeah! So would two weeks in a world class resort."

Melissa smartly comments to Dan: "From Pittsburg, ah?"

Carly notices a tractor, at the borderline with the FC vineyards.

She exclaims: "Hey dig the tractor. What about a ride?"

Melissa: "It is Angela's tractor. That road borders with Falcon Crest."

Carly: "I love that old lady. I bet she raised hell at my age."

Dan grabs Carly's arm and points to one of the vineyard workers: "Hey that's the foreman, the guy in the hat. Why don't you go over and tell him you're joining the work gang."

Carly goes over the fence: "Time to hang with the gang."

Melissa looks away from her vineyards and back to Dan: "Are you sure having her work for me is such a good idea?"

Dan: "One full day of hard work and she'll be begging me to go home."
