    Please join Constance McCashin live in The Locher Room on Friday, May 12th at 3 p.m. EDT / 12 p.m. PST. Constance will be here to look back at her career as an actress and tell us about the work she is currently doing today as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.
    Constance rose to fame at an early age on The Howdy Doody Show, but her parents squashed her early career so she could have a normal childhood. 25 years later she was living in that famous cul de sac on the CBS primetime series Knots Landing where she played Laura Avery for nine years. She also spent two seasons on Brooklyn Bridge.
    After days on the set of Brooklyn Bridge, Constance got her master’s in psychology at night. She relocated to Boston, MA where she obtained a master’s in social work from Simmons College. From there she went on to work in the counseling center at Brandeis University, while simultaneously teaching in their theater department. The melding of these two worlds has resulted in a skill set she could not have planned for.
    Join us on Friday, May 12th in The Locher Room to catch up with Constance McCashin live.

    She is absolutely spectacular! I love her. She was fascinating, mesmerizing, and heartfelt as Laura. The day “Laura” died I cried my eyes out. She should have been there right to the end. I’m so happy she is a therapist I bet she’s helped so many people. Thank-you so much Alan for bringing “Laura” and Constance back to us after all these years.

    It's the 30th anniversary of Knots Landing's final episode tomorrow (13th May 1993) which all reference to Laura was omitted. This gives us a chance to reaffirm that Constance was as integral to the canvas as Michele, Joan and Donna. Do not let them forget there were FOUR women icons to that show, not just three.

    Alan - watch you often - but rarely get to comment. AMC was my favorite daytime soap and those are special - but Knots holds a special place as I saw every episode and I will never forgive them for her "demise." I saw this at 12:15am PT. I didn't fall asleep until 2:30. Your show brings back memories. Constance was one of my favorite performers of the era and "Knots Landing" is the greatest night time soap (with all due respect to "Dallas") - especially as someone who lived in the North San Fernando Valley of California. I read that she had moved into psychotherapy. I never realized that she could do stand up comedy. Actors of a certain age IMHO (and I'm around your age) believe people who are 75 like Constance grace our screen. However, with that said, having had a phenomenal psychotherapist for 25 years (who just retired), I applaud to her for giving back. I agree with her that it sucks that the government cannot change laws to allow interstate therapy now with the technology. With her experience (and fandom), I bet "Con" could double her rates - I know I'd pay them. With all of that said, do you know anyone at either Dick Wolf or the folks who run Blue Bloods. Both based in New York City. With "Con's" experience as a top notch actress, and her background in psychology, occasional guest stints on the Law & Order franchise or a Blue Bloods would be worth the price of admission. Hope you can reply and send this note to her. Big fan since I was 12 watching Knots. Thanks Alan - do you have a place to support your work?

    Didn't catch all of this when live so re-watching now.
    I've always felt that Laura was the forgotten fourth super-power that made Knots Landing a success. We always saw in the press the mighty three of Val, Abby, and Karen.. but never Laura. But what people in Hollywood didn't seem to get about the rest of the country was that Laura was the everywoman.. the one that most female adult viewers in the 80s related to.
    The housewife going into the work world, realizing her worth, moving on from a bad marriage as a single career mom, and finding love again with a man that was her equal in many ways. Once Laura was written off, I know a lot of viewers weren't as attached to the show (my mom and all of her friends even stopped watching when Laura left). So I'm glad she's finally getting some attention at last :)

    Hi, Alan: Thank you very much for another wonderful interview! I am so glad that both you and Constance hung in there to make it work. When Laura (Constance) is leaving her home and driving away and saying to herself, "Just hold on. Hold on." I have watched that scene dozens of times and it makes me cry every time. She brought humor and realness to "Knots." Also, I love how she talked about how Michele, Joan, Bill Devane, John Pleshette, etc. came from theater. I loved her story about Ava Gardner. Having Constance McCashin on The Locher Room was an inspired choice, Alan. Thank you!

    Oh how I adore this woman!! I always loved how the character of Laura blossomed after Richard left. Their marriage was toxic af from the very first episode. Having Laura and Greg get married was good for the show and their characters. She could reach Greg when no one else could, she kept him centered. Killing her off was one of the worst decisions Knots ever made. It truly wasn't the same without her, and I'm still pissed about it after all these years! Constance is obviously doing well, doing what she loves, and she looks fantastic!
