CiJi on Knots Landing- anyone else a fan of the character on season 4?

Did Lisa Hartman do the actual singing or was it someone else? Because if so her vocal performance was phenomenal.

Anyone else a fan of the character CiJi throughout season 4 of Knots? I just finished season 4 and felt SO BAD for her throughout the season. Everyone in that fucking town treated her like complete shit minus Laura, and that only led Richard to keep attacking her too. I couldn’t believe it when he threw her out of his house by her hair!!! Wtf.

Between Richard, Abby, Kenny and Ginger, Chip, Diana, Gary, and in the end even Val attacked her, I’m shocked she didn’t ditch those people asap. And then she ends up murdered? So sad. 😞

I read the character was such a fan favorite they brought Lisa back as a new character!

Ciji was the kind of character specifically designed for Datalounge.

I remember that storyline. Ciji was a popular character. Richard accused Ciji and Laura of having a lesbian affair.

OP, yes, she did the singing - she has/had a beautiful voice!

R2 yes, he did. I burst into laughter when he asked Laura which one plays the part of the man

They should have released the songs she recorded for the show as singles. I would have been listening to this!

Jesus Christ, she's got a voice made for a Holiday Inn lounge.

That song was written by Rick Springfield and was on his Working Class Dog album.

John Pleshette had resting bitch face.

R2 yes. Numerous times and the final straw was when he came home and saw them hugging in his house. He threw CiJi out without hesitation.

It didn’t help that Laura got that dykey mullet in season 4.

I liked Ciji but hated her lookalike Cathy. The show would come to a halt when she started singing. And she was an asshole. When Joshua was a dick to her, Val stood up for her against Joshua and Lilimae. Cathy repaid her by trying to steal Ben.

I wonder why KL never capitalized on the popularity of Ciji and Laura and had the two actresses do a tastefully done nude pictorial together...

She was good as CiJi. I didn’t like Cathy

My boyfriend and I watched everyday in the 90s when TNT reran it weekdays. When Ciji died- even though we knew it would happen- we both ended up feeling sad. We even named our new cat Ciji.

I wasn’t crazy about Cathy either. And I hated Cathy’s wardrobe.

Chip killed the wrong girlfriend.

Seriously r13. I hated Karen’s crotchfruit

I had a crush on Chip. What a fine piece of ass

Michael Sabatino was hot. Beautiful eyes.

I also had a crush on Ben. He was a good man.

My cousin named her daughter "Courtney Grace," and planned to call her "Ciji" in honor of the character, whom she loved. fortunately, when the character left the show, she forgot about that and just called her daughter "Courtney" (which isn't a great name, but much better than "Ciji").

by Anonymousreply 18March 15, 2025 10:48 PM

The only reason people loved CiJi was because she was the underdog and towns punching bag. Everyone treated that girl like shit minus Kenny and Gary.

I love Ben btw. Love him.

William Devane’s whisper acting drives me insane

Laura Palmer was a rip off of Ciji. Dead body on the beach, minus the dancing dwarf.

I’m on season 7 and I wanna fuck both of Karen’s sons. Is that bad?

Too bad they cut the scene when Lilimae ate her ass.

R24 watched the Knots porn parody

Lucy Ewing would have been the dancing dwarf

by Anonymousreply 26March 16, 2025 8:31 PM

What kind of name is Ciji? Was her dog named Cujo?

My older sisters, who were probably KL's biggest fans, thought Lisa Harman was the best singer ever. Especially this gem. They grew out of it. I think.

I knew Pat Benatar R28. Lisa Hartman is no Pat Benatar!

Lisa Hartman as CiJi was charming and likable. Lisa Hartman as Cathy was annoying as fuck.

Eric and Michael both grew up to be attractive young men.

Diana, however…

by Anonymousreply 31March 16, 2025 8:49 PM

Ciji and Cathy both looked like white trash, like they drove a Camaro with a cigarette dangling out of their mouths and a menagerie of children with different fathers.

by Anonymousreply 32March 16, 2025 9:23 PM

Lisa Hartman tried to make it as a dual actress and singer after finding fame on KL. She did 2-3 pop albums for Atlantic Records in the middle to late 80s. The first one was a smallish success but nothing really came out of her music career as far as commercial or industry success

by Anonymousreply 33March 16, 2025 9:28 PM

Ciji/Cathy were my least favorite characters on the show.

by Anonymousreply 34March 16, 2025 9:30 PM

Clint Black came out her her music career. With all the money that came with that. I always liked Clint's music but had no idea how much of it he sold. Go look up his discography. It almost rivals Garth Brook's.

by Anonymousreply 35March 16, 2025 9:48 PM

Lookalike characters were always disastrous for nighttime soap operas--they never worked. Remember Krystle's evil "twin" Rita on 'Dynasty"?

the only thing I liked about the Ciji storyline was Michael Sabatino as the evil Chip. He was really hot.
