Oh yeah... I remember the famous "Bobby is Alive" scene as well! (Thanks for that lik) Yikes... that sure was a long time ago.
Well I saw it in syndication like 6/7 or 8 years ago while I’m assuming you last saw it in the 80’s. ;d I watched the last TV movie in 1998 without having ever seen the show before (I’m 28).
I got into it and Dynasty, they stopped showing Knots Landing before I could watch all of that though. I think Bobby was still dead as far as his brother Gary and the Knots cast was concerned.
Christopher’s biological father Jeff Faraday sold him to Bobby (who assumed he was JR’s son and was gonna hand him over till barren Pam saw him and thought he was for her, JR then found out and started blackmailing Bobby). He ended up dead after that, I don’t know how but he was a scumbag, probably murdered. He was very minor, all I remember from him is the scene where he sold Christopher. I think his sister showed up years later and tried to kidnapped the boy.
