As I turned 63 in March I can´t help remembering how my mother would always watch Big Valley. I remember "Nick" Peter Breck as always being the rebel type. I absolutely loved that in his character. Today I am proud to say I am watching Big Valley on MeTVplus. And loving every minute of it and wishing life was as simple as that again.
RIP Peter, I certainly hope you are enjoying a big valley life amongst the stars.

I will be forever thankful to you Peter Breck for you are solely responsible for keeping my little brother out of trouble growing up...he was going down the wrong path...but watched one episode Night of the Wolf and was instantly addicted to you and your character on BV..therefore instead of getting in trouble he would watch Big Valley everyday...in your honor I made this photo into a Christmas ornament and hung it on my tree this year...I hope you and CoCo are riding high in heaven...and may you Rest in Peace Nick Barkley

I had the pleasure of communicating with Peter on his official web site. My first question was about his horse Coco. He told me Coco was his horse. I had often wondered about that. He seemed to have a special bond with the horse, and he was a fantastic horseman. He answered many of my emails to him. When he could no longer answer any emails, his lovely wife Diane would write. The Big Valley was one of my favorite shows. Happy we can still watch them today. Rest In Peace Peter, you are missed.

Today is May 4, 2017 and I've been home since January 10th recovering from major surgery. I love the Big Valley so much, and have watched it since I started feeling better in February. I'm hooked on it! I found a new station so I watch at 9am, 12pm and again twice at night. Rest in peace Peter Breck. You were one of my favorites.

Peter, we all remember you as the unforgettable Nick Barkley, but you left a great impression on me in your role as Doc Holliday. The chemistry between you and Jack Kelly was mesmerizing. Your extensive research into the life and times of Doc Holliday paid off in spades. I haven't seen any actor who captured this legendary hero as you did.
