CELEBFLASH: Back to the Cul-de-Sac

When I was at The Farm, my star sightings ran the gambit from Linda Gray and Sarah Michelle, to Breckin Meyer and Marcellous Reynolds. With my current 9-to-5 job these sightings have become fewer and much farther between (sad I know, but what can I do?).

Today however was a doozy of a CelebFlash. Four stars from that top-rated supersoap of the 90s, the spinoff that outlasted the original, and one of my mum's favourite shows, Knots Landing!

Gary, Valene, Karen and Abby! The stars of the show (well the first four listed on the Landing's IMDB entry anyway). All at one time, all in one place, and even some 13 years after the show had ended, all still friends! Very cool indeed!

I'd met Michele Lee, Karen, a couple of years ago at a Creative Coalition freebie Dish catered in DC. She is still looking awesome, and still wearing that designer cowboy hat.

Donna Mills' Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner is another one of those petite little things in person, so it's had to reconile her with that larger than life vixen-extraordinnaire she played on TV. That said, upon seeing her I stopped dead in my tracks, ready for a good slap on the face.

And then there's Ted Shackelford's Gary and Joan Van Ark's Val, still the hottest couple on the block, chit chatting together like old times (the times before Valene's multiple other marriages anyway).

When I met Cordelia at Wizard World she talked about recently seeing Angel at The Farm and how that had been the first time they'd seen each other since the show ended. That's sad!

Thirteen years on and the Knots' crew still hang! That's truly impressive!
