FOREVER KNIGHT
Premise & Characters:
"He was brought across in 1228. Preyed on humans
for their blood. Now he wants to be mortal again.
To repay society for his sins. To emerge from his
world of darkness. From his endless, forever night."
FOREVER KNIGHT concerns the adventures of Nick Knight, an 800-year-
old vampire who hates the killing and is determined to once again
become mortal. He currently works the night shift as a detective
for the Toronto Police Department homicide division. Schanke
(pronounced "skenky") is Nick's full-of-himself (and full of it)
partner, and Captain Stonetree their boss, neither of whom know
what Nick really is. Natalie is a coroner who knows Nick's secret
and is trying various physiological means to help bring him "back
over". Lacroix is Nick's master - the one who made Nick a vampire,
and Jeanette is a vampire who was a lover of both Nick and Lacroix
in 13th Century France and now runs the Raven, a Toronto nightclub
which counts vampires among its customers.
Notes:
In August 1989, CBS aired a 2-hour movie, NICK KNIGHT, as a pilot for a
proposed series. It was set in California and starred Rick Springfield as
the undead dick. A series never came of it, but the concept
was...er...resurrected and revamped (ouch!) as FOREVER KNIGHT for CBS's
late-night "Crimetime After Primetime" line-up. The two-part premiere of
FOREVER KNIGHT, with some modifications, is a remake of the original NICK
KNIGHT movie. It's worth noting that John Kapelos (Schanke) is the only
cast member from the original pilot to transfer over to the series.
In the Broadcast Schedule, the episode numbers appear as both "x.y" and
"z". "X" is the season number, "y" the episode number within the season,
and "z" the whole episode number. (This won't really mean anything until
(if) the series goes into a second season.)
The on-screen cast lists in the closing credits do not provide character
names to go with the actors' names. Any assignment of character name or
description to an actor is either (a) taken from TV GUIDE entries, (b)
because I recognize the actor from elsewhere and can associate a spoken
character name with that actor, or © the result of a reasonable process
of elimination. Character names are enclosed in brackets since they don't
appear on-screen; if a character name is not in brackets it means that the
name *does* appear on-screen (Principal Cast list excepted). Any actor-to-
character assignment I'm fairly sure of, but unable to guarantee, is
accompanied by question marks.
Schanke's first name, and the name of the coroner in the original pilot,
comes from Lee Goldberg's UNSOLD TV PILOTS (1991).

3 "For I Have Sinned"
Written by Philip John Taylor
Directed by Gerard Ciccoritti
Another serial killer, this time preying on young women who all attend the
same church. In order to catch him, Nick must try to overcome his fear and
loathing of the Church and its symbols. Meanwhile, flashbacks to 15th
Century France show Nick's encounter with a young peasant girl doomed to
become a martyr when her claims that God spoke to her results in the Church
branding her as a heretic and condemning her to burn at the stake. Nick
offers her his version of immortality, but she refuses in favor of her own
belief in life after death.

4 "Last Act"
Written by Brad Wright
Directed by Rene Bonniere
A young woman dies, and all evidence points to suicide. Nick, however, has
a gut feeling that it was murder, but seems unable to prove it. Added to
his stack of unsolved crimes, it makes Nick question his own feelings of
self-worth, especially after hearing about another, real suicide: that of
one of his "old friends". Nick must search through his memories of their
relationship of centuries past to determine why she killed herself, and why
he shouldn't.

Written by Tony Sheer
Directed by Brad Turner
The wife and daughter of a well-known philanthropist are kidnapped and held
for ransom, and psychic Denise Fort is brought in help Nick and Schanke
with the case. Her powers are genuine, and therein lies the problem: she
keeps picking up flashes of Nick's "other life", and Nick feels torn about
whether or not to reveal himself to her, since she thinks it's a sign that
she's having a breakdown. Nick's recollections of a similar situation in
Puritan New England make him determined that Denise won't share the fate of
his mortal friend from that time.

7 "False Witness"
Written by Naomi Janzen
Directed by Jorge Montesi
Nick's feelings of responsibility for the death of a man he was supposed to
protect in a "sting" operation causes him to lie about actually seeing the
murderer pull the trigger. In addition to the problem of having to appear
in court to testify in broad daylight, Nick's desire to see justice done
struggles with his conscience. He calls up memories of an incident from
the past in which a woman lies in court, condemning to death a man Nick
knows to be innocent, since he saw his fellow vampire Jeanette commit the
crime.
