Television series
King's Crossing is an American nighttime soap opera which aired on ABC from January 16 to February 27, 1982 for seven episodes.
The show was originally conceived by Lorimar Productions as a retooling of the cancelled CBS drama "Secrets of Midland Heights", however it was ended up completely unrelated from its predecessor, with only Linda Hamilton, Doran Clark, Marilyn Jones and Daniel Zippi returning as completely different characters.
Series overview.
The show centered on the Hollister family, who had returned to the small town of King's Crossing, California, which they had left ten years earlier. The family consisted of Paul (Bradford Dillman), a recovering alcoholic hoping for a fresh start as an English professor at the town's college, his long-suffering wife Nan (Mary Frann), their two daughters, Carey (Jones), who becomes involved with stablehand Billy (Zippi), and Lauren (Hamilton), an aspiring pianist who falls in love with her piano teacher, symphony conductor Jonathan Hadary (Michael Zaslow).
Nan is trying re-establish a connection with her cold and distant Aunt Louisa Beauchamp (Beatrice Straight), who had never approved of Paul and resents Nan's attempts to reclaim the family home. Willa (Dorothy Meyer) is Louisa's black housekeeper, and Jillian (Clark) was Carey and Lauren's crippled and disturbed cousin who is discovered by Carey hidden away in family's attic. Louisa's attempts to hide family secrets and the true story behind Jillian's accident were not revealed before the show was canceled, however it strongly resembled the storyline involving Angela and Emma Channing on the other Lorimar production "Falcon Crest", which aired at the same time on CBS.
