AS SEEN IN:

TV DIMENSION:

Earth Prime-Time

From Felice's Log:

The ranchers' focus upon the farmers transfer to a new enemy, with the arrival of one Messmore Garrett. The latter decides to settle near Centennial in order to raise sheep - something that cattle ranchers find abhorrent. Three men from the previous cattle drive end up working for Garrett - Nate Pearson, Bufe Coker (who was a former Venneford ranch hand) and Amos Calendar. The feud between Garrett and the ranchers spill into an ugly shootout that leaves Pearson, Coker and the latter's lady love, a former Cheyenne prostitute named Fat Laura, dead.

Messmore Garrett's son Beeley will marry into the family of Charlotte Lloyd and his son Paul will be in charge of the Venneford Ranch one day.

BCnU!

I haven't done a dedication in a while....  This particular post is going out in honor of my friend Mary Brooks, who is a big fan of 'One Life To Live'.  Clint Ritchie played Clint Buchanan on that show for a long time....
