[QUOTE="Jock Og, post: 231112, member: 17"] Unfortunately the people at the helm of the ninth and final season probably didn't even know who Fr. Christopher Rossini was. Jerry Thorpe, Joel Surnow and Sheri Anderson were handed carte blanche. They served up a show less about wine to focus more on crime/grime mixed with stocks and shares. There were elements of '9' I enjoyed but overall the final year was more like a spinoff. Gregory Harrison as the once upon time priest now Chris Gioberti could well have worked so much better, in addition to Julia returning. She never had an onscreen scene with Richard, after he wasn't Jacqueline's son but Angela's instead. IMHO the ex Rossini now Gioberti named grandson would have stayed true to the legacy feel of the show, at least he should have had. [MEDIA=youtube]KNZXXCBTotM[/MEDIA] [B]Fr. Chris visits the convent to meet his mother Julia (nun), for the first time. He was whisked away after birth because his father Dominic Rossini was a married man. Chris was brought up in an orphanage and now is the time for a return to the wine country. Angela is also at the convent for support to her daughter and grandson, (a scene from season 5, 1985 - '86): Julia: "Hello son!" They hug and then go for a walk through the grounds. Fr. Chris: "Well my life was fine. At least I think it was up until a couple of weeks ago. I really didn't have much to compare it to and now all of a sudden things are very confusing. When I was ordained I thought I had all the answers. Now that seems like a lifetime ago." Julia: "Well we all get confused but now you have a family to help you through those difficult times." Fr. Chris: "Mother! When I was a child I dreamed of being able to call someone that. Mother have you ever doubted your faith?" Julia: "Yes many times. Now my faith is my sanctuary." The bell rings. Julia: "Would you like to join us in prayer?" Fr. Chris: "I would like that very much."[/B] [/QUOTE]
