[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 354399, member: 3219"] Everyone asked that. And I'm convinced the writers didn't knew it when they introduced Vanessa in Season 13. They didn't make much of her friendship with Kate then except that Vanessa had sex with Alex (as Kate AND Claudia had too !). This could have been played by any actress for two episodes maximum. In Season 14 Vanessa only serves the purpose to give Anne a reason to be honest to Greg when blackmailed by her. I don't recall any more but (NOT A SPOILER!) towards the end of the show the writers finally found a story that is actually convincing why she hang around Knots Landing. Yes you'll find out why Vanessa is still there and it does makes sense and it will be the first and only time you feel some empathy for Vanessa. But that story was developed under pressure to tie up the stories creatively. Who knows for how much longer that character would've hang around for no reason in future seasons? Felicity Waterman's final IMDB credit is something in 1999 - so only six years later her career was over and judging by her work in [I]Knots Landing[/I] I'm surprised it lasted that long! BTW it was mostly the way she spoke (not her voice and not her appearance) why I disliked her intensely, probably the worst actress on [I]Knots[/I] where it's rather difficult to find bad acting (compared to some dull or bland people on [I]Dallas[/I] and [I]Dynasty[/I]). Waterman was a former model, her first two bit parts are listed as "stewardess" (as in [I]Die Hard 2 [/I]only two years before KL). The image here is from a model composite for 1985.
