Mills is best known as vixen Abby Cunningham on the long-running nighttime soap "Knots Landing."

The trio has stayed good pals, and Mills hinted that we may see more of them in the near future.
"We've actually got a little something on the fire, the three of us, which I can't talk about yet," said Mills. "It's something about how the three of us have stayed friends all these years."
