So it's just cars in general. Then as for Ray and Jenna, there are two clues in the scene that indicates that Ray has tried to call Jenna before off-screen. First he says in his voice mail on their answering machine that it's him again and then Miss Ellie asks him if he still can't get hold of Jenna. But yeah their confrontation won't happen yet. Shan, I am glad that you love Lucas. We have tried to give all the kids somewhat different personalities and interests in our story so we hope that comes across. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Sanda, I am glad that you enjoyed the updates. Bobby and Pam won't find out who sabortaged the elevators at their hotel though. Okay so it's time for another update and tonight it includes some spoilers for Knots Landing as we catch up with the California Ewings! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Knots Landing, California was as good a place as any to start over, at least that’s what Gary and Valene Ewing had thought when they’d first moved there after getting remarried in December 1979. They had settled on a cul-de-sac named the Seaview Circle, which was situated on the hills alongside the Californian coastline. It was an upper middle class neighborhood with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. It had seemed like a wonderful place to start over and Gary and Val had soon come to love their new house, which had been a wedding present from his mother Miss Ellie. The yellow two store house had a black steel fence in front of it and a nice backyard with a swimming pool. It was a nice house, even though it was quite small compared to Southfork. Yet Gary and Val didn’t mind as they had loved having a place of their own that was far away from his family. They had also come to love their neighbors, who soon had become fast friends.Yet the illusion that Knots Landing was an idyllic place had soon evaporated and now after living there for almost sixteen years they knew better. Because if you scratched a little on the picture perfect surface you’d soon learn that Knots Landing had its own share of problems and manipulative people. So life in Knots Landing hadn’t been a bed of roses for Gary and Val who had had to deal with his alcoholism, marital problems and heartache. He had cheated on her and they had separated. Then their family had expanded with the twins, Bobby and Betsy. But they had missed out of a whole year of their life due to a kidnapping. They had divorced and married other people. For many years they had lived apart and yet they were always friends and always close. Whenever one of them were in trouble the other one was always there, offering an ear to listen, or a compassionate shoulder to cry on. Nobody else could understand the other one the way they did, as they shared a history having been together on and off since she was 15 and he was 17. They could make each other laugh too and there were times when they could just sit and giggle for minutes. There was a special bond between them that was unbreakable and somehow they had made it through all the ups and downs in their relationship and by now they were happily married to each other again for the third time.On this particular day they were enjoying some quality family time together, as they were having a barbeque in the backyard just the four of them. Gary, a tall man with dirt blond hair was standing in front of a barbeque grill. He had an apron wrapped around his waist as he was making hamburgers for lunch. Valene, a medium tall woman with shoulder length blonde hair was setting the table. In the garden, a ten year old boy and a ten year old girl were running around playing beach ball. The twins had light brown hair and brown eyes. Valene looked up and asked Gary, “Is the burgers ready soon?”“Any minute,” Gary replied.“Good because the kids are getting hungry,” Val commented when the phone rang.“Can you get that?” Gary asked.“Sure,” Val walked over towards the phone. “Hello, Valene speaking.”“Hi Mama, it’s me Lucy.”“Lucy,” Val smiled. “How good to hear from you, how are you?”“I’m fine, was in Australia recently,” Lucy smiled.“That’s right, thanks for the postcard,” Val smiled. “Bobby and Betsy loved the koala on it.”“Yeah I figured the twins would,” Lucy replied.“So did you have a good vacation?”“Yes the best,” Lucy grinned. “By the way I got married again.”Val dropped her chin, “You did what?”“Got married,” Lucy beamed.“Oh so who’s the lucky man?”Gary looked up questioningly, “What’s going on?”“Lucy got married!”“What?” Gary exclaimed, before he turned off the grill and went to listen in on the conversation.“Honey I didn’t quite hear what you said, your dad’s here too.” “Oh hi dad,” Lucy laughed.“Hi Lucy who did you get married to?” Gary asked. “Mitch,” Lucy grinned.Val and Gary exchanged a look, “Your old husband Mitch?” Val asked.“That’s right, I guess I take after you,” Lucy said jokingly. “The third time’s the charm right?” “Right,” Val and Gary laughed.“Anyway I just thought you should know that.”“Well we’re glad you called,” Gary said.“So when are you coming out here for a visit?” Val asked. “The twins would love to meet their new brother in law.”“We’ll see,” Lucy laughed.“So how do you feel to be back in Atlanta?” Gary asked.“I’m not, didn’t I tell you?” Lucy smiled. “Mitch and I are staying at Southfork.”“For real?” Gary asked.“Yeah for real, we figured it was the only thing we haven’t tried so maybe it will work out better for us.”“Well you’ve never tried to live out here,” Val remarked.“True, but I’ve got my gallery here and Mitch has his sister and niece in town so...”“Alright but promise that you’ll come visit us soon,” Val said.“I promise,” Lucy smiled. “I’ll call you soon, bye.”“Bye darling,” Val and Gary replied before they hung up the phone.“Well I’ll be damned, who could have guessed she’d get married again?”“Not me, I didn’t see that one coming,” Val replied.The twins came running up to them and Bobby asked, “What’s going on?”“Who was that on the phone?” Betsy asked.“Your sister Lucy,” Gary replied. “She’s gotten married.”“Again?” Bobby and Betsy asked in unison.“That’s right,” Val smiled. “So now we’ll have to shop a wedding gift.”“Well if we’ll wait six months we won’t have to,” Gary said.“What do you mean daddy?” Betsy asked.“Well since they’re living at Southfork this marriage is surely doomed!”“Gary!” Val scolded her husband. “Well sorry honey but you know it’s true!” Gary said and Val shook her head looking amused.</blockquote>
