[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 441349, member: 19949"] I find it remarkable how David Paulsen managed to breathe new life into the Dynasty characters after having just —to put it hyperbolically— drained the life out of the main characters of Dallas during season 11. Still, I wonder where certain characters might have ended up in season 12 under Paulsen's influence. I didn't particularly care for April in season 10, but after Pam and Donna left and Jenna was on her way out and the new ladies introduced in season 11 failed to click, April became a bright spot for me. What would have become of her under Paulsen in season 12. I wonder the same thing about Lucy. Who actually decided that Charlene Tilton should return? Did Paulsen already have a certain storyline for her in mind, or did they simply want her back at the end of season 11, hoping to find suitable material for her later? So, David Paulsen wasn't part of the fun gang surrounding Leonard Katzman, but was Ken Kercheval actually part of it? I’ve always wondered why, during the budget cuts at the end of season 12, the decision was made to let Sue Ellen go rather than Cliff. Cliff’s story had essentially run its course; it would have made sense for Afton to convince him to move in with her and their daughter and finally leave the toxic environment of Dallas behind. In my opinion, Sue Ellen (following a quick annulment of her marriage to Don) would have offered enough material for the final two seasons. Regarding the vote for the biggest drop in quality, I’m surprised that season 14 received some votes. During my last rewatch I felt like things were steadily going downhill starting with season 8, yet the drop between seasons 13 and 14 didn't seem all that drastic to me. Of course, I missed Miss Ellie and Lucy, and we didn't see much of Clayton and April, but since newbies James and Michelle already had so much screen time in season 13, season 14—with even more focus on the pair—didn't really come as a shock to me. I see that season 6 has received one vote – but why? Is it because Rebecca died, or because Bobby and Pam were separated (at least for the time being)? [/QUOTE]
