"No more 'mama,' you're not my son!"

[@JD_ATX]

One of the greatest scenes EVER from the history of the show. Classic writing and acting. Julie Harris should have gotten an Emmy outta this scene alone.

[@LaurenBradleyGivingOffSparks]

Agree!

[@michelinesantucci4474]

Great TV back then with great actors.

[@muse7722]

Julie can always sweep you up into the character she's playing. She's terrific.

[@MrJawstherevenge87]

Julie Harris!! Now that's acting!!

[@TheMisserys]

rest in Peace Julie we love you !!!!

[@drlee2]

Probably best moment on Knots ever! Baldwin showed a lot of promise back then! You could tell he was destined for bigger and better things!

Joshua creeped me out from day one

[@PajafromPrague]

I remember in 2003 i mistaken him with Gary in the scene where Val told him youre talking like a lunatic and he what did you call me ? I thoaght it was Olivia and Gary . But no and only Lilimae i remembered in the scene .Im not surprised i mistaken Joshua and Gary they look similar . And i dont blame you Joshua scared you . But when i look at him he was a poor trauma man . Wish he D got help .

[@quecantemos]

I just watched "East of Eden" with Julie Harris and James Dean on TCM. I heard Alec Baldwin's commentary, and he mentioned being on Knots Landing with Julie Harris, so I looked this up. Wow! This is an extremely dramatic and moving scene. You're right that it was done very well, especially by Julie Harris!

[@MrCraigblaze]

This season on the show.. Someone mentioned the name James Dean to Lilemae !!

[@fwdthinker]

Funny thing is, Lilimae was also a fool for another abusive liar named Tony Fenice (aka Chip Roberts) who killed another character played by Lisa Hartman (Ciji). I just noticed that parallel.

[@newscenter5]

yep!

[@montygreen6228]

How true.

[@LaurenBradleyGivingOffSparks]

She “only did what needed to be done!” 😂

[@Unknown-bq9id]

That's probably why she called out Josh the way she did--she was probably having flashbacks to how she believed Tony after Ciji's murder...

Alec Baldwin turned into this monster in real life, only without talking about religion.Good acting bad man.

[@olivervanburen704]

It was not "A Better Tomorrow" for Joshua Rush or Alec Baldwin.

[@josebro352]

Now it's even worse for Alec. He's facing a possible prison sentence.

[@keisha4620]

I love Alec. Funny, Ryan Gosling (The Notebook) reminds me of him especially watching this scene.

[@josebro352]

You still there? Sad what's happened to him now.

[@darrylskylar8757]

I remember this liking it was yesterday.

[@BuckWinthrop]

Extraordinary acting

[@MrCraigblaze]

I think Joshua was becoming more and more like Jim Jones..XD

[@rosemaryspafalmouth2609]

I remember watching this episode when I was in hs. A young Alec Baldwin was destined to be a star!!

[@MrCraigblaze]

Thank you for the upload..XD And most important the fall. That kills me XD

[@jbro8934]

Alec Baldwin playing Alec Baldwin

[@TheThomasmoon]

Alec Baldwin should reenact this scene for real

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

3:26, the end of Joshua Rush. 😢😢😢

[@ConservativeAnthem]

The REAL Alec Baldwin finally spreads his wings!

[@triciajohansen3027]

I like Lisa Hartman, but that hairdo. Wow!!!! So 80s!!!!!

[@harrykargenian110]

I loved her hairstyle. Lisa Hartman was top notch.

[@triciajohansen3027]

Lisa has really pretty blue eyes, but she is a pretty woman.

[@PajafromPrague]

Joshua was nuts but he was traumatized pity he did not get to doctor . I thoaght he and Danny would like eachother as brothers in law . But no i must say Danny was worse

[@Moamg]

God! I've never heard of Knots Landing and it sounds AWFUL to me. Bad, bad, bad soap opera. Julie Harris deserved better. She's really amazing. Baldwin was good too. And cute.
