Gary informs Abby it's over

[@fwdthinker]

WOW - Valene looks great here! I was so glad when they took her out of those Daisy Mae dresses with barettes and hair ribbons. Her character was at least 30 when they arrived in Knots Landing. Those little girl fashions were so played out.

[@sharonjackson268]

🤣😅😆✌

[@MrCraigblaze]

Oh please 30 on a good day !! 😂😂 Joan was 37 in 1979. Remember in 1979 when Gary gave Val that Shiner by "Accident" When he came home after a long bender !! ??

[@raquelbrisker3551]

It took a long time for Gary to see Abby for who she was...He always found his way back to Val...

[@go-goakins1489]

Julie Harris was a great actress from a classic bygone era of Hollywood! So many great actors and actresses on knots landing and Dallas!👏👍😎

[@dzanier]

Very true. Barbara Bel Geddes and Keenan Wynn on Dallas, Ava Gardner, Don Murray and Julie Harris on Knots Landing.

[@edgefan4437]

Knots had other bygone era Hollywood stars come on and play a character for a few episodes over the years.

[@jac7124]

Love when Abby says, "Don't do this to us." lol!, like she was so innocent through the whole thing!

[@Igor_ogi]

That’s what she was best at, guilting Gary for things she was responsible for.

[@lovewhitalways2010]

this was a great show. only missed a few nites of the whole 13 years. my mom and family enjoyed it and it was one of the shows we always discussed after watching it; little house on the prairie, seinfeld, mash, cheers; so many great shows throughout the 60' 70's and 80's even 90's; tv has lost it's magic and people do not know what great tv was back in the day. i wish they would rebroadcast some of these great shows again, as they were. i bet they would get great ratings, with both us older original watchers along with newer younger audiences. i bet the ratings would be better than a lot of what is on tv now.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

Anyone notice that Gary got more muscular as the series went on?

[@Mike-wf1nm]

Absolutely.

[@Igor_ogi]

He was such a hunk!!!

[@deb310red]

I loved seeing Gary finally dump Abby. And I loved that Abby didn't fall apart.

[@loulouwillis5648]

Abby always knew Gary didn't love her and that he still loved Val she even told a couple of Gary's girlfriends that and you are right she was a gold digger who I couldn't stand.

[@marlanaedwards5296]

Marlana Edwards What if Abby did fall apart? She had every right to feel so. Getting dumped doesn't feel good. Everybody knows that.

[@lindadowns230]

The Only reason Valene fell a part as you say was because she thought her twins were dead& Valene was with Gary a lot longer then Abby was . They were teenagers I’m glad Gary dumped Abby too. She just moved on to her next victims!!!!

J.Harris was a superb actress as well as Joan Van Ark.

It was nice to see Valene as a supportive bystander to her Mom than her falling apart All the time.

Have you seen Julie Harris in Requiem For a Heavyweight? She held her own with Anthony Quinn, Jacki Gleason and Mickey Rooney!

They don't make actresses better than Joan ban ark and Julie harris

And Donna Mills.

I use to watch every now and then man how time flies like 🐦s in the skies.

That and her southern accent was gone also. But yes, Joan looks great here.

SueEllen wore Karen's blue dress first in Dallas. This is when the 2 shows started sharing/recycling clothes to save on the wardrobe budget.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Abby's scheming ,dubble dealing ,and cheating was just too much for him to deal with at this point.Plus knowing abby was Much more involved with the theift of the babies than she said.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Gary just Knew that Abby knew much more about Val's babies...!!..Maybe not intentionally but knew just the same..

[@deseretladync]

yeah that was an ultimate low for abby. would love to have slapped her myself

[@robertscott8344]

​@@MrCraigblazewhy would Abby even have anything to do with Val's babies being stolen what would she personally Gain.

[@MrCraigblaze]

​@robertscott8344 She would have Gary ALL to herself. AND Vals "Bastards" I am using Abbys own words Would be TOTALLY out of the picture !!

[@salparadise5335]

Actually, Gary needed Abby. She helped build his empire with his Dad's money.

[@mskaneful]

Gary got body ody ody!!!❤️😘

[@ellieelizabeth5627]

I hated those big damn shoulder pads back in the day. I still hate them. I could never see why they were in fashion. Small pads weren't so bad, but those big ones.....ugh! They make a woman's torso look masculine. Wide shoulders with a small, dainty head in the middle. And if a woman doesn't have much of a neck, it's even more hideous.

[@cloverfield911]

IN reply to rpm8064! i was just hinking the same thing!!! Is that Val's back yard, and I'm trying to remember do we ever see the back of Karen's house??!!! Do the boys ever use the pool, or do they have barbecues outside??

[@wesgrimes3510]

Trivia: Valene and Lilimae are actually in Laura's back yard at the cul-de-sac.

Abby came out of the shower in all that eye make up?

Personally when they broke up Gary and Val, I was upset. But as I got older and re watched the show, I said if it wasn't for Abby getting her hooks into Gary it would've been boring

@@marythompson3658 Well, I bet he would! I just saw a clip the other day from Knots Landing where he threatened a guy's life in a barn with a baseball bat! If you watched that show do you remember a scene where Mack from Knots Landing was taunting a murderer and shot a young guy's dead body in a chair, since the murderer had shot him also? I remember that as a kid but don't remember the details. Not sure if it was Knots Landing or some other show, but he got the guy to confess and the cops arrested him.

abby was always wanting to get together with ray but settled for gary, sue ellen wanted to marry better but jolene would not let that happen to her mama, so she got gary first. people never knew it was really jolene who shot jr, after having another affair with bobby, it was her only way.
