Abby, was a money hungry, conniving, schemer! But, she wasn't evil. I will never understand, why Gary Ewing, threw her away, like he did! Say, what you will, about Abby, but she was the brains, behind the throne, at Gary Ewing Enterprises!!! All, Gary ever did, was bankrupt the company!

If, he couldn't operate a small company, without succumbing too pressure, what made him think, he could manage a company, as large as Gary Ewing Enterprises!!!
ANTHONY CASHMERE I think evil is keeping a mother away from her babies. Setting in motion the kidnapping. Hiding that fact from the mother and the father, who didn’t even know he was the father, well he kind of did. I think that’s KINDA EVIL
@@jenniferwellman5311 Abby was Evil, She was the kind of Evil that would make You Kill Yourself. That way she can say I Didn’t tell him or make him do this, He was Too Weak and Didn’t Know how to play the game. Abby Ewing, Only the Strong Survive’s.
It must have been something about Abby because Olivia didn't want to live with her. When it comes to a child not wanting to live with their flesh & blood you know there is a reason for it.
@Bpnk5 - To the credit of a young, astute Tonya Crowe even before this when Gary and Abby have the kids at the beach house, Olivia overhears a conversation and Tonya Crowe was amazing, listening, processing, all with no words. You knew then Abby's actions were going to cause a rift between her and the ones she loved most, her children.
I would go to school on Thursdays on the 79th floor of the world trade center...after school i would go to my boyfriends house for dinner and his father & i would watch Knotts Landing together....i have 2 great memories...
She's a great actress it's a close race between her and Joan Collins who was the best actress was Donna us still breathtakingly beautiful not to mention adorable, doesn't look a day over 25
Gary asked Abby for a divorce in Season seven, but they put it on hold because of the pollution at Empire Valley, also Gary running for senate, and not to mention Olivia's drug problems. They finalised their divorce in Season eight.
Great Scene . Itsgreat how knots put the emotion to the core of their plots like this one. there was no crazy plot just heart felt character emotion. Only this way could you actually feel for the character of Abby as she drove off despite her previous devious actions
@LV Shidd It doesn’t make her a “terrific” mother, either. Her children were often caught up in or affected by their mother’s less-than-noble machinations, whether directly or indirectly. Yes she loved her kids and in her own way had her moments of being a good mother, but she was far from terrific. If this were real life (and I’m well aware it is not), her kids, when grown, would probably always view her with suspicion and keep her at arms length. It would probably affect their relationships with other people as well.
No matter how unscrupulous Abby was, I really felt for her here, because she loves her kids. She proved that when her ex husband abducted them, and she worked tirelessly to get them back.
Gary had just found out about Abby's secret company, Apaloon. He found out that she had hired Cathy Geary to play "Ciji" so that Gary would be distracted and wouldn't find out that she was using his money to develop Lotus Point as Apaloon. At this point in time, Gary only knew about Apaloon, but not about Abby's affiliation with Mark St. Claire and his group, Wolfbridge.
Wow, when your own daughter won't give you a kiss goodbye. Must be pretty bad. I don't remember what happened to cause Olivia not to want to live with her mom. I always watched Knots Landing and then they repeated the whole series on TNT during the day back in the 90's. I wish they would do it again. I want to watch it all over again.
I forget this episode what had Abby doen THIS time around? Also note shes driving same exact car Bobby Ewing had on Dallas although his was red (one Pam blew up in)
@@jenniferwellman5311 lets not forget Fallons aliean abduction on The Colbys in 1987 her car was a twin to JR Ewings on Dallas a silver Mercedes sedan!
Abby should have gone home, and had a good cry after this. Her lover kicks her out of his house, and her own children don't even want to go away with her. Sad, but Danny fine acting on everyone's part.
I know this video has been up for quite a while but if anyone sees this who can remind me of what took place to make Gary see through Abby I'd sure appreciate it. I'd love to watch this whole series again
I haven't seen most of these episodes for decades, but if I recall correctly ... I wanna say Gary found out about the company Abby formed alongside Gary Ewing Enterprises through which she was making deals that would only benefit her (Lotus Pointe being one such deal). But Gary knew Abby was a shark in business, so that was really Abby being Abby. What he found repulsive, and so hard to forgive, was that Abby hired Cathy Geary - Ciji's dead ringer - to keep Gary occupied while she did what she wanted at the office. IIRC, this season was the Wolfbridge season, and by the beginning of next season, Gary and Abby had reconciled - and Val was about to "lose" her babies, leading to my favorite KL season finale cliffhanger, a tall feat considering I never thought they'd top this season's finale.
really good scene. this is the beginning of Olivia going against her mother and starting to have problems which we will see later on. I always liked Abby, so beautiful and full of life and drive. she would do many things a man could get away with, yet she is called a B*tch. somethings she went over the line, but she did love Gary (and his $) and her children.
But this storyline is not what led to Gary divorcing Abby. They were only separated for the rest of this season (4th?), then reconciled earlly season 5. I think they actually divorced around Season 6 or 7.
Gosh, that's so funny - Abby always hated the ranch anyway. I remember Gary saying something like "This place means to you what the ranch means to me", referring to her gorgeous office. Thanks for posting! I saw every episode. These ones were the best; I always felt the series declined in later years.
Messy messy stuff. Abby was a terrible Mother. Bonnie Franklin was presented as a failure mother in a bunch of episodes of One Day At A Time, too. The moms loved them but the tv daughters were so emotionally neglected and abused, it is just full time cringe. We have the benefit of hindsight to see how toxic 70’s and 80’s parenting was, and these shows were brave enough to go there back in the day.
I wish they would put this entire show on dvd!!!!!
it is it's on amazon.com

Go to Boxset.com the complete series on there!
Try CBS access. I might be on there. You have to pay a small monthly fee.

What a great scene. Always great acting and writing. The music adds such a special touch, the car pulling off is so powerful.

Perfect example of "You get what you deserve". ; )

Look how simple she dresses. So basic but yet so elegant. I dare anyone to compete with the basics.

amazing. god i love this show.
I miss knottts landing!

Olivia was closer to Valene than she was to her own mother. Brian was pretty clueless, but Olivia saw her mother for what she was.
In real life cases like this happens when the kids turn to drugs for that matter the dysfunction of their parents.

I always loved Abby. Say what one will about her, she loved her children and was a terrific mother.
Especially when her daughter was on drugs. I liked how she used the axe to her door and made Olivia see what happened to her brother.
"Terrific mother" but yet didn't say anything when val's twins were taken. And if I'm not mistaken thats why olivia was acting up
@@torih4011 That doesn't make one a bad parent....and she did eventually make up for that
@LV Shidd It doesn’t make her a “terrific” mother, either. Her children were often caught up in or affected by their mother’s less-than-noble machinations, whether directly or indirectly.

@@EastSide-qc5oy NOWHERE in my statement did I say anything about Terrific" anything..."WellConditioned" did...Thanks👍
Abby put this on herself.
No matter how unscrupulous Abby was, I really felt for her here, because she loves her kids. She proved that when her ex husband abducted them, and she worked tirelessly to get them back.
Any mother would do what she did which I commend her for, but that broke her and she turned into a very malicious person.
@tenfortyseven I remember the scene where she jumps in to save her daughter who couldn't swim. She loved them.
She did love her kids and she loved Gary in her own way but she knew he really never loved her. But she was rotten to the core.
Great 💗 SHOW 💛 GREAT CAST 💟 poor Val 😨
Gary that’s what you get for fooling around while you are married. Lol

Can someone give me a quick insight into the storyline? Cathy Heart didn't die? Was Ciji actually Cathy?

Why let Olivia stay she should go with her mom Olivia just wanted to do what she wanted to do
Donna Mills Is So Beautiful Gorgeous Woman ❤❤❤❤

That’s a great eye, also Mercedes were very popular in the 80s. It was the car of choice. Shoot, they drove them on the show Hart to Hart.

Yes I would the whole show
No wonder Olivia turned to drugs!!
I agree. In fact, I was season seven and eight were released on DVD that have Olivia drug addiction.
Mom of the year goes to...😂😂😂😂
Abby had the same car Fallon did, on Dynasty.
oh what season is this and when are they going to get out on DVD season 3??

So befitting that her daughter Olivia would not want to be with her mother as Abby had such selfish traits.
Poor Abby!
Gary got his balls back!
Rob Thompson temporarily! lol
Still love that 80's hair!
Glad Gary and Abby split up. I alway loved Gary and Valene together.
I don't remember what happened - what did Abby do that even her own kids turned on her??

season 5 and Warner Bros. has no intentions now of releasing any other seasons after the dismal sales of seasons 1 and 2
I wish they would..i loved the show man!! I am trying to find all the episodes...suggestions@ what season was your fav?
It took 3 seasons to get good. They stopped selling just when the show was about to hit it's stride.
I always loved Abbey's Mercedes too.
I agree I think there would be more buyers for later seasons...esp season 3 to 7...
Wish they had better marketing to sell 1 and 2. Lot of people who were fans probably didn't know about it like me
Seems like a few years in Knots has toughened up Gary too! Val got a little tougher too!
I would of made Olivia go Gary's not her father and Abby leaves her their never in my life I would leave my children behind
Yes dear,
Is it because of my love
for whole milk?
I think this was part of the storyline involving the Wolfbridge group?
Olivia looks like Kate Middleton younger
Yes abby does love both if her kids equaily!Unlike caludia who said she loved kate and distasted steve!
Gary has some abusive tendencies. The way he grabs and yanks and pushes his women around.
Where's the big fight scene!!!!!!!!!1
DONNA MILLS LOOK JUST LIKE MENA SUVARI
No wonder Olivia got addicted to drugs. Her family was one big dysfunctional mess.
