'The Dukes of Hazzard' cast reunites, Daisy Duke star Catherine Bach hints at potential reboot

The good ol' boys are back together.
"The Dukes of Hazzard" stars John Schneider, Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach reunited at Gallatin Comic Con in Tennessee this past weekend, along with co-stars Byron Cherry, Jeff Altman and Rick Hurst.
Bach, 69, who starred as Daisy Duke in the hit TV comedy series from 1979 to 1985, told Fox News Digital in an interview published Thursday that she still has a close bond with her co-stars.
"John and Tom are family," she said. "I love them both so much and always love to catch up with them. It's a lot of laughs when we gather."
"We have so much history and know everything about each other. Well, pretty much everything," the actress continued. "The secret to our long friendship is caring. We have seen each other through the good times and sad times. … I do count on my TV cousins, and I think they know they can always count on me."
Schneider, 63, echoed her sentiments.
"I don't know how to explain it, but we have been closer than Bo, Luke and Daisy since the moment we met," he told the outlet. "Through the best, worst and most challenging times of my life, Tom and Catherine have always been there. Forty-something years later, we could not be better friends."
Fans flocked to meet the cast at the comics and pop culture event, just outside of Nashville.
"It seems the fans are always jazzed to see us together, and they show up at all ages, from 8 to 80," Wopat, 72, said. "I would make the case that the fans have kept the show alive all this time, and it's very much appreciated by the cast. God bless them."

Bach, when asked about a possible reboot or reunion of the show, said, "Anything is possible."
"The Dukes of Hazzard," which ran for 146 episodes across seven seasons, followed the "good ol'" Duke boys of rural Hazzard County, Georgia, and their adventures as Robin Hoods with regular run-ins with the law.
Not without its controversies, reruns of the show are few and far between due to its Confederate flag imagery. TV Land dumped the show several years ago, and Warner Bros., which produced the series, halted production of toy replicas of the so-called General Lee, the 1969 Dodge Charger stock car driven by rambunctious Southern cousins Luke and Bo. The car famously features a replica of the Confederate flag on its roof.
Wopat has also been embedded in controversy, including indecent assault and battery and drug possession charges in 2017.
