[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 127506, member: 719"] Then I admit it has succeeded beyond its wildest intentions. Watching it (especially year one) was utter pain! :D Like an onion... I am, kidding aside, curious about Frankie. One of the reasons I hated the show was how much I hated her and the fact I considered that the show was trying to pass her off as decent (same with Jeff, who was the 24/7 focus here). I tend to agree with your reading of her (not the exaggerated version of her sainthood) and I would be very surprised if [USER=68]@Alexis[/USER] was right. I kinda think it's his wishful thinking. I thought, and the writers even confirmed that, the show initially tried to clone (with this as with all other items) the polar opposites of Krystle and Alexis in Frankie and Sable, but with Sable there was a course correction and she became a more nuanced character. Whereas Frankie was modeled not on original complex Krystle but on cardboard Krystle of seasons 4-6, the "most dangerous Carrington of all" as I think Claudia correctly assessed her. Cardboard Ross helped not at all. Sable actually became the way the Pollocks [I]thought [/I]Alexis was in their interviews, someone who would do a lot of nasty things but her love of her children was the one core element they never violated (they violated it time and again in DYNASTY with Alexis). So, yes, Sable would try to get Connie declared mentally unstable--which I think did not require that much effort--and she would blame Jason of beating her and trying to kill her but she would be fiercely protective of Miles and Monica and the third half-baked one.
