[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 441350, member: 57984"] I don't think Paulsen himself drained the life out the characters in Season 11 all by himself, and what was going on at DALLAS at the time was probably the reason he wanted to leave (even before he got the second offer to join wilting DYNASTY). He didn't have final say on DALLAS -- Katzman did and returning Art Lewis had seniority. Also, the usual planning time during the spring hiatus never happened in 1987 because Lorimar, anticipating a writers' strike (which was delayed for a year) dictated their shows forgo that normal hiatus and begin filming for Season 11 (the '87-'88 year) right away. So they had to write while they shot. And that [I][B]had [/B][/I]to affect the narrative and the muddled end result that we got. [/QUOTE]
