[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 280085, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]I've heard that theory many times, and it sounds good on paper. My issue is that KNOTS didn't always do well writing for their younger characters: Diana, Olivia, and even Kenny and Ginger never really got the attention the others got. Yes, I know Diana had the Chip arc, and Olivia had her drug addiction and bats with Harold, but they were never apart of the "main cast" of the show. Claudia Lonow and Tonya Crowe both briefly got opening credits billing before being booted out. Of course, there's an argument that KNOTS handled other younger characters quite good: Ciji (and later Cathy, albeit initially), Paige, Michael, and even someone like Joshua Rush had good writing and good runs. It's really toss-up in my head whether KNOTS would've been a good "fit" for Lucy had the producers decided to relocate her from Dallas to sunny California. But none of that was going to happen anyway. Joan Van Ark was very age cautious, apparently, as most actresses are, and evidently wasn't too keen on Charlene Tilton being around a lot.
