I think my FAVORITE episode of Steve's Character was during Cathy & Joshuas wedding day as he introduced Whitney to the family and neighbors.
After no one reacts about the two he keeps digging even the next day. I also loved how they wrote for Lilimae as she explained to himj about the situation.
"IT WAS BRILLIANT!"

my favorite moments of eric was the episodes he played in like the time he kept calling his baby brother a punk and getting angry in the process and gave him a good punch in the stomach i felt sorry for michael but in reality he should not have messed around affair or not it was so surprising for me to see eric's stomach to inflate over the years that was a total shock to see i guess his wife or girlfriend kept him fattened up he looked good with his belly all nice and round i will miss you very much steve you are in my prayers i love you

The heart felt moments he brought to the show, I'll never forget the scene where he and Karen went to the grave site to visit with Sid.
That was some legend Knots Landing Moments.
I LOVE IT!

I'm so sorry to here he had passed away. I didn't even know he was gone and that explaines why I don't see him around. I think Knots Landing should of dedicated an episode in his memory. Until then we will meet again

I always find it to be very sad when loosing someone. I know to me Steve may have been a TV star but he was more then that. Thanks to my love for Knots Landing. Steve was also in my heart. I've said this many times and I know I'll even say it many more. This series meant so much to me growing up. Weekly I grew up with the kids of Knots Landing. They all became this great escape for me that without, I couldn't imagine. So when I heard of the loss of Steve Shaw and so cut short of his life, my heart broke. I'm posting this page for others to tell their good-byes or thank you's.
You truly are missed Mr Steve Shaw. JDK
Wow I love this page. Like others I never realized Steve was gone. i feel like it happend minuets ago. Very Sad.

I loved Eric and Knots Landing. I think he had to be touched in the head to had married Linda of all women.
Then of course little brothers gets all screwed up with her. It really made good story lines and you really have been missed.

Hi Jim, you okay? This is me, Morgane!!
I loved Steve Shaw in Knots Landing. I was very sad when I learned of his death twenty years ago. That's funny. I discovered Steve Shaw in an episode of Little House on the Prairie when I was little, but I prefer Steve on Knots Landing. What impressed me most in his character?? This is the episode where Eric was poisoned with arsenic. At the time, I thought the writers wanted to kill the character of Eric FAIRGATE, like his late father. "Sid". But fortunately, he survived his illness. There is another episode that marked me a lot too. This is the episode where Eric has discovered that her little brother (Michael) fell in love with his wife (Linda) and vice versa.
I remember that Eric had put a big punch to Michael. My god, I remember, I was very shocked to see this scene. I remember this episode like it was yesterday. It was really a great episode. Unforgettable!! It was good achievement...

I loved Steve Shaw on Knots Landing. It's tragic and hard to believe that he has passed away. Steve Shaw was a very talented actor, and I loved his character Eric Fairgate. Your dedication page is wonderful.

I watched "Knots Landing" from the first night to the last, and remember Steve Shaw very well. He was in an episode of "Three's Company" during the 1978-79 season, too. A friend of mine informed me of his passing. I thought she had her facts wrong. It was a shock which really saddened me. Thanks for making this page in his honor.
