John, I didn't realize that growing up because I loved the show so much. However, I just rewatched it and when it got to the seasons without her, I stopped watching. Her last season was spectacular! There was no topping that season and the show were just dull without her especially since they seemed too afraid to allow Paige, Anne, or Claudia to be as nasty as Abby.
I wish they would bring it back also but it would be a horrible remake the way Dallas was. They always try to remake the desperate housewives format where someone is narrating and telling a story and that is so annoying. Love Abby's eyes and heavy smokey eyes forever.
Donna Mills is a very talented actress with considerable range, and she never got her due from the critics or the Emmys because she was on a soap opera.
I didn't really like Abby--until she was fighting for Olivia's life, over Olivia's drug addiction. Donna just lived that anguish as a nearly helpless mother who, nonetheless, would never surrender her daughter. She allowed her character to be filmed with no makeup and broken with the struggle. She gave Bette Davis a run for her money! That's a performance I still remember to this day.
I absolutely love her facial expression when she says "Oh, and don't call me cookie". Her beautiful eyes narrow ever so slightly to convey that tone of threat that the line is meant to deliver. The subtle level of scorn in her voice together with that look make it obvious that she just LOATHES him. Oh how I love that
Chris....Abby was one tough Bit%h. Karen ur right...but you are out of line! Oh Ben I was hoping u would ask for ur job back...so I could turn you down cold, guess I will have to settle for having you thrown out!@ The better Question is what didn't you do!....I love me some Abby ..Donna Mills was the best and still is
Some of the best lines. Karen you are out of line!! Guess I will have to settle for having you thrown out!! The question is what didn't you do? The first Mrs. Ewing doesn't go away....ever!! Dont call me cookie!!! Abby was and still is the best!
Also, there were some awesome scenes during the whole, "Abby & Charles", storyline that would make a great addition here. So many great Abby scenes to choose from. Wish there were more on TH-cam. Loved when she manhandled Peter there near the end of his time on the show. She made him dump Paige and then she told him to, "take a hike".
I always thought she wore too much makeup. This belief was confirmed to me while watching an episode of Larry Sanders. When producer Artie told Larry, 'The beautiful Miss Donna Mills will be on tonight's show, Larry replied, 'Has anyone told her that Kiss is going without makeup these days.'
You are absolutely correct. That was the episode where she asserted herself and took complete charge of her destiny. She wasn't having Greg and Peter manipulating her anymore. LOVED that episode.
Thanks you. I toyed with the idea of using the whole clip (I wish I had now) That said I have a few more clips that I want to put together, so I'll use the whole clip next time. Thanks again.
Monica Blom heck yes and Donna would be perfect for a lady for Eric. All women in bold and the beautiful had had a sex with everyone on the show. It's so freaking tiring!!!!!!!!
Wow - nice job! I've been waiting for someone to post that scene between Abby and Paige where Paige thinks she is a better Abby than Abby! But, you cut it too soon, Abby then turns back and says, "You know, I would have never set myself up the way you just set yourself up." lol! Nice job though and thanks for posting! :)
Roland Baldwin you are right! I forgot about that. Yes Linda gray the actress was playing Amanda's mother and Melrose place had a spin off show called Model INC! But that show was cancelled after a season!
erik etzwiler That's right. It also had Emma Samms and Carrie Ann Moss and a pre Star Trek: Voyager Robert Beltran as Hilary's boyfriend. Hilary was Amanda's mother's character.
The Abby moments: Little bit harder to pinpoint but here they are- correct me if I'm wrong but: 1- Don't call me cookie- Weighing of Evils- Jan 03, 1985 2- Jill and Abby at the Hospital- High School Confidential- March 06, 1986 3- A Glutton for losing causes- Never Trick a Trickster- Jan 29, 1987 4- All of Gary's Money is a fortune- ...So Shall You Reap- Feb 09, 1984 5- He hurt me- The Surprise- Dec 10, 1981 6- You're right, Karen, you are out of line- Our Secret- April 02, 1987 7- Abby threatens Ben- Breakup- April 09, 1987 8- Your Little friend is Here- There Are Smiles- Oct 22, 1987 9- Abby fires Paige- Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate- May 07, 1987 10- Gary, You ready for me now?- Choices- Jan 29, 1981 11- Abby warns Jill about Val- Nightmare- March 05, 1987 12- Abby warning Peter- Breakup- April 09, 1987 13- You'll tell my mommy?- Alterations- Jan 23, 1986 14- Abby and Jill at party- Flight of the Sunbirds- Nov 19, 1987 repeat of clip 1 15- Are you and my husband having an affair?- China Dolls- April 29, 1982 16- Paige understands Abby- Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate- May 07, 1987 17- I swear, Jim, I don't know what you're talking about- A Change of Heart- Nov 17, 1983 last little clip unknown
"I earned what I have" LOL!!! I never knew lies and manipulation equaled earning what you have. Abby would be poor if she actually had to work hard to achieve a fortune. Still love her, though.
Proudbull, THAT was GREAT. However, there is one I wish you included: "The Abby Scale". I don't know if you remember that one, but it is the last episode with Donna Mills; just before Abby pulled the "Murikame" scam and left for Japan. Paige tried to tell Abby off and Abby told her what she rated her on "The Abby Scale". CLASSIC Abby! Haha!
OIC. I thought it was because Warners don't think it will sell enough. I would buy every season. I have one and 2 on DVD, and copies of the others thanks to Soapnet (but the picture quality of those differs). I think Knots Landing is a much better show than Dallas.
I'd love to dine-out with Donna Mills, Cybill Shepherd and other Mature-female-politicians in Los Angeles-County, California.You do learn a lot of Modern-America in both Knots-Landing, Dallas and Moonlighting too . Leandro Roberts .
A very good effort here at compiling some classic Abby Ewing scenes. Well done. Just wondered though, why you included the ' don't call me Cookie' twice? I wish you could have included some of her showdowns with Karen as they were really some of her best. Any chance you could do that?
Yes but officially it is only Season 1 and 2. What you are referring to on eBay are 'taped from TV' copies and the picture quality goes from good to bad to OK. I want official copies for my library. Warners are a pain in the derriere for not sorting this out professionally. You could help us by writing to them.
I like to find more full eppy. I do not understand why the owners of KL will not put it on streaming on DVD. I followed one person who has a lot of the episodes but Season 10 does not show when Abby leaves the show and there is no season 12, 13, 14.
That clip is on myspace.believe it or not. my question is why was paige at olivia's apartment I thuoght she hated her.Nice she screwed every one over before going to japan.
The peak of Knots Landing was during the Paul Gavelston storyline. Then they got rid of Laura and I stopped watching regularly until I gave up on the show.
They say nobody is bigger than the show but Knots really wasn't the same without Abby
John, I didn't realize that growing up because I loved the show so much. However, I just rewatched it and when it got to the seasons without her, I stopped watching. Her last season was spectacular!

@@hshawn00 No one could outdo Abby. She was one of a kind.
Donna is a fantastic actress and a great beauty, still absolutely stunning now. Also a lovely lady. I wish they would bring Knots Landing back.
Chris Green she’s aged very gracefully. Love her.
Donna really made that show great
@@ohheybih lots of surgery and heavy make up
I wish they would bring it back also but it would be a horrible remake the way Dallas was. They always try to remake the desperate housewives format where someone is narrating and telling a story and that is so annoying. Love Abby's eyes and heavy smokey eyes forever.
@@maineindividual5202not surgery I could spot it In a second
Donna Mills is a very talented actress with considerable range, and she never got her due from the critics or the Emmys because she was on a soap opera.
Donna won a Daytime Emmy
Still after 24 years off the air
Knots Landing is still one of the best shows to ever hit the T.V
This was one bad ass show! Great story's and acting.
Donna mills those eyes
What about the walking zombies in the castle..??..XD
I totally agree. Knots Landing is the best of the best.My favorites on this show has to be: Donna Mills, Lisa Hartman, Constance McCashin.
Will never forget the "Gary, are you ready for me now," line. Prophetic and onerous.
They should have had more crossover episodes. Abby could have visited Dallas and helped JR try to take over Ewing Oil. She was a true bad ass!
Particularly during the mediocre Dallas reboot. It may have saved the show.
Abby just loved getting under Jill's skin by what she would say..XD
I didn't really like Abby--until she was fighting for Olivia's life, over Olivia's drug addiction. Donna just lived that anguish as a nearly helpless mother who, nonetheless, would never surrender her daughter. She allowed her character to be filmed with no makeup and broken with the struggle.

Abby was the best villianess on TV.
love Knot's Landing. watched it all when it was originally on. would love to see more full episodes on youtube.
I want to see more anne Matheson scens knots landimg
Knots landing
She was a blazing comet ,like Susan Lucci on ALL MY CHILDREN:SHE BROUGHT OF ACTING DEPTH TO THE SHOW!!!!!!
I loved Abby on Knotts Landing,she was beautiful.
Love me some Abby and Knots Landing
So beautiful has a high cost and she makes everybody pay her for her beauty
I love her.. watched her many many times .. “By the way.. DON’T CALL ME COOKIE” Super Like 👍
"Im so flattered that you want to be like me..." Only Abby!
"just remember me to Valene "..XD
Chris....Abby was one tough Bit%h.
Karen ur right...but you are out of line!
Oh Ben I was hoping u would ask for ur job back...so I could turn you down cold, guess I will have to settle for having you thrown out!@
The better Question is what didn't you do!....I love me some Abby ..Donna Mills was the best and still is
Donna was stunning! She made Knots Landing what it was.
It would not been worth watching without her
Some of the best lines.
Karen you are out of line!!
Guess I will have to settle for having you thrown out!!
The question is what didn't you do?
The first Mrs. Ewing doesn't go away....ever!!
Dont call me cookie!!!
Abby was and still is the best!
She was and is gorgeous
Thank you.
I'm working on collecting many more Abby moments from the second half of the series and 'The Abby Scale' is up there in my priorities.
Also, there were some awesome scenes during the whole, "Abby & Charles", storyline that would make a great addition here. So many great Abby scenes to choose from. Wish there were more on TH-cam. Loved when she manhandled Peter there near the end of his time on the show. She made him dump Paige and then she told him to, "take a hike".
When that show was on, loved her eyes. Tried to do mine like hers. 80tys, make-up 😁
Your little Friend is here I love that line
Abby was 500% a better villain than JR ever was
Quelle beauté Donna
That 80s big hair!! I love it.
Donna Mills
Joan Collins
Best villainesses ever
I'm loving her on General Hospital.
EKS511 she's on general Hospital? ??
I always thought she wore too much makeup. This belief was confirmed to me while watching an episode of Larry Sanders. When producer Artie told Larry, 'The beautiful Miss Donna Mills will be on tonight's show, Larry replied, 'Has anyone told her that Kiss is going without makeup these days.'
I was named after this character. Spelled differently... But my mom still loved her. 😂
her scene with Gary in the episode "Phoenix rising" is her best scene in the entire series
You are absolutely correct. That was the episode where she asserted herself and took complete charge of her destiny. She wasn't having Greg and Peter manipulating her anymore. LOVED that episode.
@5:00 has always been one of my personal favorites. " And what happens if I don't, do you tell my mommy?"
Thank you for coming Gill. How cold is that bahahahahaha.
One of the top actresses to ever appear on television.
Thanks you.
I toyed with the idea of using the whole clip (I wish I had now) That said I have a few more clips that I want to put together, so I'll use the whole clip next time. Thanks again.
Love this showwwwww
I love Abby she so hurt and she takes it out on everybody
Donna Mills should be on Scandal. Either as Cyrus ex wife or Mellie's mother. Ooh the monolgues she could have with Cyrus. It would be brilliant.
jasonROXcarlySUX Now Nicollette sheridan is donna"s age back in 1993.
I Think she should come to Bold and Beautiful. Eric needs some TLC.
MrCraigblaze I think Donna mills should play Phyllis' mother on young and the restless!
Monica Blom heck yes and Donna would be perfect for a lady for Eric. All women in bold and the beautiful had had a sex with everyone on the show. It's so freaking tiring!!!!!!!!
erik etzwiler
Well she Was not on General Hospital for long at all..?? Hope she comes back soon...!!
If Abby would have teamed up with JR, they would have been a force to be reckoned with! Go Abby
She & JR WERE Once Lovers.
Abby was the best TV villianess.
It all about her unmistakable eyes!! BTW, nobody ever really liked Valine......lol.
Love ❤ eye makeup ..
Wow - nice job! I've been waiting for someone to post that scene between Abby and Paige where Paige thinks she is a better Abby than Abby! But, you cut it too soon, Abby then turns back and says, "You know, I would have never set myself up the way you just set yourself up." lol! Nice job though and thanks for posting! :)
Great example great lessons !!
The sass. Love it.
Great job! Would LOVE to see more Abby moments. Can you post more? :)
Nobody could ever get the last word and exit more beautifully than Abby Cunningham! C'mon, Warner..........GIVE US KNOTS LANDING ON DVD!!!
Back in the 80s she rocked that block. Still a sexy lady.
AHHHHHH, the '80's.....when women could be REAL bitches, but with class!
Yes!!
Donna Mill's character Abby reminds me of Heather Locklear's character Amanda Woodward from Melrose Place.
Yeah I get what you mean
Interesting that Donna Mills actually played Amanda Woodward's mother on Melrose Place.......if I remember correctly.
No that was Jane Mancini's birth mother. Linda Gray was Amanda's mother.
Roland Baldwin you are right! I forgot about that. Yes Linda gray the actress was playing Amanda's mother and Melrose place had a spin off show called Model INC! But that show was cancelled after a season!
erik etzwiler
That's right. It also had Emma Samms and Carrie Ann Moss and a pre Star Trek: Voyager Robert Beltran as Hilary's boyfriend. Hilary was Amanda's mother's character.
Donna mills 💜

I love Abby she's my favorite in the show PS: Does anyone know where I can buy all the season's of Knots Landing on DVD
Amanda Swain I bought a bootleg copy online, I don’t know where.. it’s online somewhere.
Donna made a great Abby on KL, but Joan Van Ark blew me away with her acting skills as Val.
Like trashing Cathy's beach house And Jill's office xd
DONNA 💖 MILLS 💙
ياريت تعيدوا تقديم هذا المسلسل الجميل مترجما للعربيه. نامل ذلك
They should show more scenes with Page and CG my favorite characters.
Proudbull, THAT was GREAT. However, there is one I wish you included: "The Abby Scale". I don't know if you remember that one, but it is the last episode with Donna Mills; just before Abby pulled the "Murikame" scam and left for Japan. Paige tried to tell Abby off and Abby told her what she rated her on "The Abby Scale". CLASSIC Abby! Haha!
Iconic enough for them to revisit it when Donna was on GH.
ABBY QUEEN OF SOAPS!
When oh when are they going to release the whole series in England l have Dynasty Dallas The Colby,s I'd happily pay £80 for knots landing.
ooh i like your style. Abby ruled TV world.
DONNA MILLS GAVE BIRTH 2 KNOT'S LANDING..... WHEN SHE LEFT N '1989 KNOT'S LANDING BEGAN 2 LOOKS IT'S LOOKS N THE RATINGS.....
Abby could crush someone with just a look.
AND Abby/Karen moments would be good.
Also any moments between Abby and Laura ( Constance McCashin). I love those two together.
Donna mills looks alot better with her hair cut shorter like in the first
Part of this.
Turn around in style
Lol, gonna make jr look what?!!!!
Abby vs Paige rivalry interesting
Paige only wished she could rival Abby. Abby was in another league than Paige.
+Andy Jacobs Both really great characters
Abby always kicked Paige's ass.
I second that Martin.
OIC. I thought it was because Warners don't think it will sell enough. I would buy every season. I have one and 2 on DVD, and copies of the others thanks to Soapnet (but the picture quality of those differs). I think Knots Landing is a much better show than Dallas.

shoulder pads
We may be seeing Abby on the new DALLAS. I just listened to an interview by her, & she's met with the producers, but nothing is official yet.
Howard Duff was on Flamingo Road as well.. XD
A very good effort here at compiling some classic Abby Ewing scenes. Well done. Just wondered though, why you included the ' don't call me Cookie' twice? I wish you could have included some of her showdowns with Karen as they were really some of her best. Any chance you could do that?
"If you wanna' thank me, go save a whale" ("Abby's Choice" episode)
Yes but officially it is only Season 1 and 2. What you are referring to on eBay are 'taped from TV' copies and the picture quality goes from good to bad to OK. I want official copies for my library. Warners are a pain in the derriere for not sorting this out professionally. You could help us by writing to them.
I second that!
Abby is sassy
I like to find more full eppy. I do not understand why the owners of KL will not put it on streaming on DVD. I followed one person who has a lot of the episodes but Season 10 does not show when Abby leaves the show and there is no season 12, 13, 14.
Hate those shoulderpads
Me too the 80s
He must eat alot of them.LOL..
0:20 JR middle class ?
The only thing here brused her is gary's ego!
CZ DABING nebo celé díly by nebyly?
Knots Landing IS on DVD & has been for a long while. Get it off Ebay.
How could ever leave out the best bitc*slap ever? Lol..
Abby need a man a real man a man that takes all her pain away
OMG @ 5:35 she looks a dead ringer for Olivia Newton-John !
You mean to tell me, they still haven't released any more seasons on DVD since Season 2 ???
How many bottles of hair spray did it take to create that hairdo?
I don’t know but she is gorgeous
paige should have gotten her own show.
That clip is on myspace.believe it or not. my question is why was paige at olivia's apartment I thuoght she hated her.Nice she screwed every one over before going to japan.
Good actress what sexist rubbish is that guy saying
4:39-4:52 my all time favorite
The peak of Knots Landing was during the Paul Gavelston storyline. Then they got rid of Laura and I stopped watching regularly until I gave up on the show.
Dont call me cookie...Just call me a cunt
You are out of line.
..Yes ..Abby .."skills"...??..XD
