Knots Landing started off as the spin-off that spawned CBS’s Dallas but the 80’s melodrama soon outperformed its predecessor. At the height of its popularity, Knots Landing reached a record-breaking 20 million viewers and ran for a staggering 344 episodes before its series finale in 1993. Knots was different from Dallas in 2 ways; the storylines were more relative to domestic disputes and substance abuse, and the overall tone of the drama was far more extravagant than its 70’s counterpart. With a large cast that birthed the careers of major television (and movie) icons, it’s no surprise that fans still question what happened to their favorite on-screen characters.

Lee was nominated for an Emmy, plus countless Soap Opera Digest Awards, during her time as Karen Mackenzie. Today, she holds the record title of the actress with the most appearances of any American-primetime tv show.
