===The death of Bobby Ewing===
On ''[[Dallas (TV series)|Dallas]]'', the character of [[Bobby Ewing]] ([[Patrick Duffy]]) was killed off in the final episode of the [[Dallas (1978 TV series, season 8)|1984–85 season]]. The following year, Duffy decided to return to ''Dallas'' and the character of Bobby was resurrected in the infamous "shower scene" at the end of the [[Dallas (1978 TV series, season 9)|1985–86 season]]. At the start of the [[Dallas (1978 TV series, season 10)|1986–87 season]], it was revealed that Bobby's death and all but the final scene of the 1985–86 season had been a dream of Bobby's ex-wife, [[Pamela Barnes Ewing]] ([[Victoria Principal]]).

On ''Knots Landing'' during the 1985–86 season, Bobby's death had an indelible impact on some of the characters (i.e. Gary struggling to deal with his brother's death and being comforted by his wife Abby, Abby and Greg then taking advantage of Gary's absence to control development of Empire Valley, and Valene naming her baby son after the late Bobby). When Bobby's death and the subsequent season were revealed to be a dream on ''Dallas'', this did not get applied to the continuity of ''Knots Landing'' and Bobby's return was simply never addressed or even mentioned afterwards. Following this, no further crossover storylines were featured on ''Knots Landing''.
