[Angela Channing]

I've chosen characters that I think would be fascinating to see them share one or more scenes in a TV show. I've tried to avoid using characters from any particular show more than once.

1. Lieutenant Columbo & Jessica Fletcher (COLUMBO & MURDER SHE WROTE)
2. Angela Channing & JR Ewing (FALCON CREST & DALLAS)
3. The Professor & Arsene Lupin (MONEY HEIST & LUPIN)
4. Gregory House & Shaun Murphy (HOUSE & THE GOOD DOCTOR)
5. Francis Urquart & Sir Humphry Appleby (HOUSE OF CARDS & YES PRIME MINISTER)
6. Olivia Pope & Frank Underwood (SCANDAL & HOUSE OF CARDS)
7. Dr Who & Dr Zachary Smith (DOCTOR WHO & LOST IN SPACE)
8. Annalise Keating & Professor Charles Kingsfield (HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER & THE PAPER CHASE)
9. Prairie Johnson & Fox Mulder (THE OA & THE X FILES)
10. Patricia Hamilton & Jilly Stewart (SONS AND DAUGHTERS & RETURN TO EDEN)
11. Betty Slocombe & Hyacinth Bucket (ARE YOU BEING SERVED & KEEPING UP APPEARANCES)
12. David Banner & Richard Kimble (THE INCREDIBLE HULK & THE FUGITIVE)
13. Emma Peel & Purdey (THE AVENGERS & THE NEW AVENGERS)
14. Audrey Fforbes Hamilton & Robert Hiller (TO THE MANOR BORN & TWO'S COMPANY)
15. Supt. Ted Hastings & Titus Semple (LINE OF DUTY & FLAMINGO ROAD)
16. Lydia Grant & Sue Sylvester (FAME & GLEE)
17. Margo Leadbetter & Rupert Rigsby (THE GOOD LIFE & RISING DAMP)
18. Spock & Dr Who (STAR TREK & DOCTOR WHO)
19. Meg Richardson & Angie Watts (CROSSROADS & EASTENDERS)
20. Michael Schofield & June Osborne (PRISON BREAK & THE HANDMAID'S TALE

 

[Jimmy Todd]

1. Miss Ellie and Lillimae Clemens (Dallas and Knots Landing) Two great actresses and two characters with a connection that would be fun to explore. Imagine a conversation in which JR stealing Lucy from Valene came up and the passive role each played in it.
2. Peter Stavros and Alexis Carrington (Falcon Crest and Dynasty) Two witty, fun loving and powerful people flirting with each other, one a tad naughty, the other a smiling she-devil.
3. JR Ewing and Paige Matheson (Dallas and Knots Landing)- He'd be all over her like a herd of boll weevils through a corn field, but he wouldn't know what to make of her. She is as strong as Pam, but no goody two shoes. She'd see through him a mile away, but be fascinated by his money and power.
4. Fallon Carrington and Fox Mulder- (Dynasty and The X-Files). They'd bond over the UFO connection and she'd be attracted to his quirkiness. He's nothing like the men she's used to meeting.
5.Sr. Peter Marie and Julia Cumson(Oz and Falcon Crest) - Two nuns who had a very different life before taking vows and are each living out their calling in very different ways. I'd love to hear them discuss their spirituality.
6. Valene Ewing and Dana Scully-(Knots Landing and The X-Files)- Scully could get involved in the search for Valene's babies. Scully is a pragmatic scientist, but she has faced the unexplainable and she has baby issues. It would be interesting how she would react to Valene, and vice versa.
7. Dorothy Zbornak and Angela Channing(The Golden Girls and Falcon Crest)- I'd like to see these two tough broads trade quips and butt heads. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object- and they're both masters of the comeback?
8. Jane Tennison and Jock Ewing-(Prime Suspect and Dallas)- There's a person with whom I'd like to see Jock for some reason working. She's a tough, ambitious British woman. What would he'd make of her?
9. Chris Keller and Stephen Carrington-(Oz and Dynasty) - Two bisexual men- one a confident sociopath, the other a sometimes confused nice guy. I'm afraid Keller would eat poor Stephen alive.
10. Edith Bunker and Greg Sumner(All in the Family and Knots Landing) - innocent, kind-hearted, pure Edith meets the cynical, corrupted billionaire. I think Greg would grow to really like her and feel protective of her. Plus he has a sense of humor so he'd probably find her highly amusing.. She would see the goodness buried under that amoral veneer and cigar smoke.

 

[Karin Schill]

1. Miss Ellie (Dallas) and Lilimae (Knots Landing)
I hadn't even thought of this pairing until @Jimmy Todd voted for them and I like the idea so much that they will be my number one pairing too.
It's really a shame Miss Ellie never visited Knots Landing. I would have loved to see the "grandmothers" /"Mother in laws" interact with each other.

2. Lucy (Dallas) and Lilimae (Knots Landing)
Lucy should have met her other grandma at least once.

3. Lucy (Dallas) and Abby (Knots Landing)
I would have loved for Lucy to have shared a scene with her step-mom. It would have been interesting to see them exchange sarcastic remarks.

4. JR (Dallas) and Alexis (Dynasty)
These two oil tycoons are a lot alike. It would have been interesting to see them meet to make some oil deal.

5. Alexis (Dynasty) and Abby (Knots Landing)
These two characters were both labelled "the bitch" of their representive series. A meeting between them would have been interesting.

6. Lance (Falcon Crest) and Lucy (Dallas)
I think they might have made an interesting couple as they both came from entitled backgrounds and were close to their grandmas.

7. Monica (Friends) and Danny (Full House)
I love Monica and Chandler but for some reason I think she and Danny might have something in common. They both liked to clean for one thing.

8. Blake (Dynasty) and Greg (Knots Landing)
Imagine these two tycoons going up against each other in a governor election. I can totally picture it.

9. Dylan (Beverly Hills 90210) and Paige (Knots Landing)
They both had parental issues and had to grow up too fast.

10. Iris (Beverly Hills 90210) and Anne (Knots Landing)
Dylans' mom and Paige mom. They were both divas. It would have been interesting to see their path cross somehow.

11. Steven (Dynasty) and Kit Mainwaring (Dallas)
Because they were both gay but struggled with it and tried to date women. They also both came from wealthy backgrounds.

12. Lucy (Dallas) and Peter Richards (Dallas)
Although they went out on a date they were never a couple. I think they could have been. I never understood why Peter wanted to go out with Sue Ellen rather than Lucy.

13. Valerie (Beverly Hills 90210) and Jake (Melrose Place)
They were both sort of rebels. I think they might have clicked.

They could go into show business and perform Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I can hear Swellin saying this...

"...you basterd!!"
​

By the way, Gary and Swellin had something in common with the Taylors: they married their spouses more than once!

[Karin Schill]

Thank you for your work in calculating the votes @Ome
I know how time consuming it must be.

Also cool that Lilimae and Miss Ellie came in first. I think this clearly shows that the fans of this community would have loved for more crossovers between Dallas and Knots Landing.
