donna mills is the only actress who could nailed abby! abby is a bitch but you really cant hate her too much because there are times where she's badly hurt too.
really good scene. this is the beginning of Olivia going against her mother and starting to have problems which we will see later on.
I always liked Abby, so beautiful and full of life and drive. she would do many things a man could get away with, yet she is called a B*tch. somethings she went over the line, but she did love Gary (and his $) and her children.
@Bpnk5 - To the credit of a young, astute Tonya Crowe even before this when Gary and Abby have the kids at the beach house, Olivia overhears a conversation and Tonya Crowe was amazing, listening, processing, all with no words. You knew then Abby's actions were going to cause a rift between her and the ones she loved most, her children.
Great Scene . Itsgreat how knots put the emotion to the core of their plots like this one. there was no crazy plot just heart felt character emotion. Only this way could you actually feel for the character of Abby as she drove off despite her previous devious actions
Abby was such a jerk. Always getting into trouble and getting bailed out by someone else - Karen, Mac, Greg, Gary, whoever. Donna Mills was a great actress though, and for people like me who didn't care for chracters like Abby, I did care about this one.
Gosh, that's so funny - Abby always hated the ranch anyway. I remember Gary saying something like "This place means to you what the ranch means to me", referring to her gorgeous office.
Thanks for posting! I saw every episode. These ones were the best; I always felt the series declined in later years.
No matter how unscrupulous Abby was, I really felt for her here, because she loves her kids. She proved that when her ex husband abducted them, and she worked tirelessly to get them back.
God I love this video. This video is like one of the greatest parts of Knots. I always remember it as, "Abbie fallin from grace." It's one of the few times she lost something. It's riviting the way she played it. You can feel that she knows she blew this one.
Gary had just found out about Abby's secret company, Apaloon. He found out that she had hired Cathy Geary to play "Ciji" so that Gary would be distracted and wouldn't find out that she was using his money to develop Lotus Point as Apaloon. At this point in time, Gary only knew about Apaloon, but not about Abby's affiliation with Mark St. Claire and his group, Wolfbridge.
But this storyline is not what led to Gary divorcing Abby. They were only separated for the rest of this season (4th?), then reconciled earlly season 5. I think they actually divorced around Season 6 or 7.
Gary asked Abby for a divorce in Season seven, but they put it on hold because of the pollution at Empire Valley, also Gary running for senate, and not to mention Olivia's drug problems. They finalised their divorce in Season eight.
Where's the big fight scene!!!!!!!!!1

Donna Mills is an amazing actress! I never felt sorry for Abby, though -- she was a complete cow, and got everything that was coming to her! ;)

So befitting that her daughter Olivia would not want to be with her mother as Abby had such selfish traits.

Seems like a few years in Knots has toughened up Gary too! Val got a little tougher too!
