 At the time, her appearances in all 344 episodes set a record for an actress on American primetime television.
 Karen's storylines focus on family troubles, addiction and kidnapping.
 In her early years on the serial, the character had much more of an "edge" in order to test the audience on who would be the most like J. R. Ewing (Larry Hagman), the primary character of its parent series "Dallas".
 (The bad girl role would later be taken on by Abby Cunningham, Karen's sister-in-law.) Krystle Carrington

This is a list of notable people who have changed, adopted or adjusted their surnames based on a mother's or grandmother's maiden name.
 Included are people who changed their legal names and people who created personal or professional pseudonyms. Under longstanding Western custom and law, children are customarily given the father's surname, except for children born outside marriage, who often carry their mother's family names.
 However, in the 1970s, some women began to adopt their mother's maiden name as their legal surnames.
 People in Sweden have recently begun adopting maternal line surnames in an effort to broaden the number of last names in the country. Lara (comics)
Lara (née Lara Lor-Van) is a fictional character who appears in Superman comics published by DC Comics.

 Most depictions of Kryptonian culture show that Kryptonian women use their father's full name as their last names before marriage.
 After marriage, they usually are known simply by their first names, though various versions show they use their husband's full name or last name as their married last name. QI
QI (Quite Interesting) is a British comedy panel game television quiz show created and co-produced by John Lloyd, and features permanent panelist Alan Davies.
 Stephen Fry was host of the show from its initial pilot, before departing after the final episode of the M series in 2015, with frequent "QI" panelist Sandi Toksvig replacing him prior to the beginning of the N series in 2016.
 The format of the show focuses on Davies and three other guest panelists answering questions that are extremely obscure, making it unlikely that the correct answer will be given.
 To compensate, the panelists are awarded points not only for the right answer, but also for interesting ones, regardless of whether they are right or even relate to the original question, while points are deducted for "answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious" – typically answers that are generally believed to be true but in fact are misconceptions.
 These answers, referred to as "forfeits", are usually indicated by a loud klaxon and alarm bell, flashing lights, and the incorrect answer being flashed on the video screens behind the panelists.
 Bonus points are sometimes awarded or deducted for challenges or incorrect references, varying from show to show.
 "QI" has a philosophy that "everything is interesting if looked at in the right way"; many factual errors in the show have been corrected in later episodes or on the show's blog. Mr. Bean Rides Again
"Mr. Bean Rides Again" is the sixth episode of the television series "Mr. Bean", and consists of two small stories, the first consisting of two sketches, the second consisting of three.
 It was the last episode to credit both John Birkin and Paul Weiland as directors, as the former was later credited for all videotape scenes and the latter credited for all film scenes, while it was also the last to feature the episode title in the opening credits, as later episodes would display the episode's title after this on the first scene.
 In addition, later episodes after this would only credit Robin Driscoll and Rowan Atkinson as co-writers of the programme.
 The episode was originally aired on ITV on 17 February 1992.
