Really dug her in the pixie cut too

It's funny you say that because it was my favorite look on her too! I really liked that it was darker too. I can tell you get into every aspect of the show just like my bestfriend and I. Lol!

And vice versa.

Both beautiful.

Knots landing was still at its finest during season 10 Donna taking the high road out took the loop very deep for them to replace artists with the drama.

+ncjuppiter: That clip must be the companion piece to the "Dallas" outtake where the cast took their turns shooting J.R. Ewing!

Me too. What happened to it???

Well, that was her job, wasn't it? If you don't have an antagonist, you don't have much of a show, do you?

When was that season when Laura slapped Abby as well?

I remember that slap Laura gave to Abby Laura: You are such a slut! Abby: Well it takes one to know one

And Val slapped her the next year when Abby told her, "I'm not saying [she and Gary] are having an affair and I'm not saying we're not. I am saying I can have him anytime I want him ... Does that answer your question, Val?"

Karen, Val and Laura why the writers didn't let Paige.

@@robertscott8344 Paige was Abby 2.0 and not in the same age group.

Yes she was.Especially during Olivia's drug crisis.

Olivia wouldn't have had a drug crisis if Abby weren't her mother!!!!

@@karenmonson9893 Exactly! Olivia used drugs to escape the fact that her "good" mother was involved in Val's stolen babies.

Abby was such an amazing character. She could manipulate pretty much anyone to get her way and very often did. She was always driven by her own self interests and ambitions. But if anyone dared mess with her kids, she turned into the fiercest Mama bear in all of history. She would destroy anyone who hurt either of her children, especially her daughter, Olivia. And she genuinely did want what was truly best for her kids.

She loved her kids and she loved her family, she gave her neice a kidney

I don't think that's the argument here - Karen knows Laura detested Abby for a lot of things including her blatantly cheating with Laura's husband Richard.

​@@SweptAway529is that the reason Laura slapped her during that encounter they had together?

​@@SweptAway529and could you define any reason Abby was a better mom than Karen they both loved their children?

@@robertscott8344 Yes, and I just think the two didn't like each other from get go. Abby would go on to make a play towards Greg while he and Laura's relationship was getting more serious. And definitely not here to argue the better mother in Abby vs. Karen, but will mention Abby did arrange to plant drugs on SIL Harold which was kind of a crappy thing to do.

I would dispute that. Not that Abby was a bad mother, but Karen wasn't either, and an argument can be made that Karen set much better examples for her kids than Abby did for hers.
