His first broadcast will be Monday night, and he will be paired with his former, co-anchor Judy Maggio. Oliveira was anchor of the station's 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts from 1980 until 1985. He left to take a job as assistant: general manager of NBC affiliate KVEO-TV in Brownsville' to gain management experience for his next planned ven-; ture joint ownership of Channel 54, a new full-power independent station in Austin. Oliveira is a partner in Bal-cones Broadcasting which received a construction permit for Channel 54 from the Federal Communications Commission last but in December, the day be-, fore the decision was to be-J come final, Frontier Broad-; casting Inc.

Oliveira said he is not back-J ing off his commitment to get- ting Channel 54 on the air, but he added, "My commitment is to these guys (Channel 24); right now. I'm real happy to be back." Oliveira signed a new three- year contract with KVUE-TV i on Saturday, which news di-! rector Bob Buckalew says is binding. "Ron's obligated to us fori; the next three years and be- yond, if he's willing to signl again," Buckalew "There's no out." presents a shared challenge just like the challenge of rearing a family. (They have two sons, 22 and 24). "We're both going toward the same thing," Bartlett said.

"We trained together, we've been together. We have our own The language shared by Dixie Carter and her husband of nearly four years, Hal Holbrook, sometimes makes it to the screen. One morning on the set, Carter, who plays Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women, told a story about an amusing dinner the night before with Holbrook. "We'd gotten all dressed up to go out to dinner, and he sat in the restaurant with me and waited till I'd had one good sip of my wine," Carter said. "Then he said, 'Darling, before we start dinner, there's something I have to tell He said, 'You have made a mistake with your I had put my hair on top of my head.

And I went (to work) laughing about it." Sure enough, an episode soon appeared in which Holbrook's character, Reese Watson Sugar-baker's boyfriend did the scene. In real life, though, Carter laughed; her character acted huffy. Holbrook joined the show when the producers talked him into playing Carter's beau. "(They) reminded him how awful he would feel if I was acting in love with somebody else," Carter said, laughing. The two separate work and home life a bit; he leaves their home for the set in his black Porsche; she drives her black Jaguar.

"Then we arrive happy to see each other," said Carter, who is in her 40s.Hol-; brook is in his early 60s. Yet at home they talk shop regularly, sharing scenes and gossip much like a husband and wife who don't work together. They met in 1981 on the set of a TV movie, The Killing of Randy Webster, and also starred together in a play that involved bitter fighting between their characters, which almost kept them from getting married. i "It took a big toll on us," Carter said. Still, they'd like to star in more productions together.

"I would like to do a play that wouldn't eat at us Who's Afraid of Virginia I wouldn't want to do," she said. Anjelica Huston joins 'Dove' cast Special to the American-Statesman Anjelica Huston will co-star with Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove, a miniseries based on Larry McMurtry's novel of the same name. Filming is scheduled to begin in Austin in mid-March for broadcast on CBS in November. D.B. Sweeney also has been cast in the supporting role of Dish.

Frank said. "He's terrific." Married for 10 years, Rachin and Frank, who are in their 40s, met in an acting class and starred together in a film called Always.

Once their 5-year-old son, Robbie, found them arguing in character, of course. "He came into the living room, and his face got stricken with concern," Rachins said. "We had to stop and say: 'Just kidding. Mommy and Daddy are just playing Viewers in their living rooms often think of the characters as real or that the actors playing them actually resemble their characters. Actors are used to that.

They don't expect their relatives to think that way, however. "I write letters to my relatives saying, 'Listen, Ellen Craig is having an affair, not said Bonnie Bartlett, who plays Craig on St. Elsewhere. Her real-life husband, William Daniels, plays her hus- By Jennifer Lowe Knlght-Rldder News Service LOS ANGELES Like any married couple, Alan Rachins and Joanna Frank fight. A lot of people witnessed a recent scene.

"I'm sick of you," Frank had hissed at her husband, drawing stares. "I'm sick of your bald head and your hairy back. most of all, I'm sick of your humiliating me with your sickening affairs." Well, forget the marriage. At least the ratings were good. Their scene was just a scene on NBC-TV's LA.

Law. Rachins and Frank, real-life husband and wife, play feuding husband and wife Douglas and Sheila Brack-man. They're one of about a half-dozen married couples on television today who either star together as husband-wife, girlfriend-boyfriend or appear on the same show. Joining them in the couple club are Michael Tucker and Jill Eiken-berry (who play husband and wife lawyers Stuart Markowitz and Ann Kelsey, also on L.A. Law); William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett (Dr.

Mark and Ellen Craig on NBC's St. Elsewhere); Tim Reid and Daphne Maxwell Reid (Frank Parrish and Hanna Griffin on CBS's Frank's Place); Dixie Carter and Hal Hol-brook (Julia Sugarbaker and Reese Watson) on CBS's Designing Women); Jean Smart and Richard Gilliland (Charlene Frazier and J.D. Shackleford, boyfriend to another one of the show's characters, also on Designing Women); and Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig (Michael Steadman and Nancy Wes- ton on ABC's thirtysomething). Show-business couples starred together long before baby boomers started booming. They're a longstanding TV tradition.

Before today's surge came George Burns and Grade Allen, Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, Sonny and Cher. Seeing a spouse at home and at work is not overdoing it, TV couples say. Sharing work strengthens their marriages, despite the fights you see between some on the screen. And working opposite a familiar face can draw deep emotion from an actor. Movies Evening 7:00 SHOW Raging Bull (1980) Robert De Niro.

band, Mark Craig, on the show. This season, their characters are separated, and Ellen Craig is having an affair with the new hospital administrator, played by Ronny Cox. Both Bartlett and Cox discussed their love scenes in detail before filming. "We talked about our own relationships. We both have had very long relationships.

Bill and I have been married a long time (32 years). We talked about why those marriages lasted," she said While Bartlett felt perfectly comfortable in a steamy scene with Cox, her husband didn't, she acknowledged. "He was somewhat jealous, but as soon as he saw the scene, he was fine." Daniels smiled when asked if enduring a spouse's love scene was all part of the business. "Even if it weren't, I'd lie about it, OK? So it's all a part of the business," he said, and Bartlett laughed. For Bartlett and Daniels, acting las.

Fight scenes among couples can strain a solid marriage. The Brack-mans on L.A. Law almost stole the show a few weeks ago with a brief, spiteful fight at the on-screen wedding of another couple (played by Tucker and Eikenberry). Sheila Brackman exited the wedding scene, saying she wanted a divorce.

To prepare, Frank adopts her character's mood a few weeks before filming. "I'm much bitchier than I normally am," she said. Her husband said he felt her mood. "There's just a general sharpness when you say, 'Pass the he joked. "It's a strain at that time," Frank said.

"Fortunately, I don't work too much." Her character is featured in occasional episodes, while Rachin is one of the stars of the series. When they do play together, the scenes can be nasty. But they don't think of themselves as yelling at each other they're in character, yell lence. (2:17) (CC) 11:30 (B WGN Dressed to Kill (1980) Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson.
