Otherwise, they stuck to killing their supporting characters, because sometimes the narrative needs a sacrificial body count (like with Rebecca and Mickey during the battle over Jock's will).FALCN CREST could throw all their core characters under the bus -- and usually did -- whenever the whim hit them. So the vibe in Tuscany Valley was more ruthless.DYNASTY re-cast them, and sometimes re-cast them back, to slap the actors down with no regard to the audience (which Aaron Spelling asserted "didn't give a damn"). Which is why DYNASTY was DYNASTY.KNOTS could revive characters from the dead and make you believe it -- be they leading or supporting.</blockquote>
