[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 177979, member: 8"] I think some of the reactions she provoked were funny, like when Karen had to "explain" that Anne had to take out the trash herself. I liked Anne in her first season: slightly ditzy, enchanting, seductive and sometimes cruel too - but she's never been one of my super-favourite KL characters. Not necessarily the character itself, but I found most of the Nick & Anne schemes unwatchable. She became shriek and childish, and there was too much bitchy wisecracking going on that we hadn't seen on Knots before. Abby never needed any thought bubbles, and it's not like I could always [I]instantly[/I] figure out how her mind worked. A character has to play it, not tell it, and I think Kathleen Noone was very good at acting with her eyes. I understand that producers/writers want to try something different to keep the show fresh, but most of season 12 was painfully devoid of the nuance I had come to expect from Knots Landing. Sorry.
