Knots Landing Stars Reunite in Podcast

Knots Landing, the beloved Dallas spinoff, captivated audiences for fourteen seasons with its coastal LA cul-de-sac drama. The show, created by David Jacobs, featured messy marriages and shocking twists. Recently, the spotlight returned to the cast following the passing of James Houghton, who played Kenny Ward. Houghtons wife announced his death in February 2024.

Early stars like Kim Lankford, who portrayed Ginger Ward, continued to book roles post-show on hits like Cheers and Chicago Hope. She also reprised her role in the Back to the Cul-de-sac miniseries and made appearances in recent projects like The Jinx docuseries.

The core cast, including Michele Lee as Karen Fairgate MacKenzie, stuck around for the entire run, earning Emmy nods and Soap Opera Digest awards. Fans still adore icons like Ted Shackelfords Gary Ewing and Joan Van Arks Valene, who returned for revivals and soaps. Their on-off romance and family chaos fueled the shows popularity.

Later additions to the cast, such as Donna Mills Abby, William Devanes Greg Sumner, and Kevin Dobson as Mack MacKenzie, added depth to the storylines. Mills won a Daytime Emmy on General Hospital, Devane took on roles in Interstellar and 24, but Dobson passed away from a heart attack in 2020 at 77.

The Knots Landing veterans keep the legacy alive through the Were Knot Done Yet podcast, hosted by Lee, Van Ark, and Mills. The full series is available for free streaming on Tubi, inviting viewers to revisit the endless intrigue of Seaview Circle.
