It was a moment Knot to be missed.
At the recent Hollywood Show in Burbank, Calif., stars of beloved past series including Deadwood and Head of the Class reunited to swap stories about their time on set and share what’s next.
Among the big names were Knots Landing stars Donna Mills, Joan Van Ark and Kathleen Noone, who greeted fans together and shared the news that a rewatch podcast on the beloved primetime soap opera is in the works from Mills, Van Ark and costar Michelle Lee.
According to Remind magazine, the show — a Dallas spinoff that ran on CBS from 1979 to 1993 — is seeing a resurgence now that it’s streaming on Prime Video and Plex.
“I think it’s late to the party in a way because I think we deserve attention and [it should have been] sooner than this,” Van Ark, 81, said. “But we’ll take it at any point.”
Knots Landing followed Ted Shackelford’s Gary Ewing and Van Ark’s Valene Clements as they moved to Los Angeles for a fresh start, settling into a suburb alongside characters played by Lee, Don Murray, John Pleshette, William Devane, Constance McCashin, James Houghton, Kim Lankford and later, Mills, Noone, Nicollette Sheridan and Alec Baldwin.
“They had a very good cast. They had a very talented cast,” Baldwin told PEOPLE in 2020. “That changes everything when you go to work. You don’t care if it’s a soap, if you’re working with somebody who’s great, everything goes up. I loved it.”

“It’s that kind of investment in characters that make television special,” he continued. “Daytime TV and TV in general, you have a different relationship with the audience because they see you all the time. You have to go somewhere and buy a ticket and watch a movie. With television, we’re people that are in your living room.”
Noone echoed that sentiment at the Hollywood Show, per Remind, calling the cast “supportive.”
“The fact that they welcomed me and helped me get my feet, I’m forever so appreciative,” Noone, 80, shared.
Van Ark added, “We were a family both on and off the screen, and that has ties that are deep and special and treasured. There’s love underneath all of it — true family — and taking care of one another.”
