I'm getting fuzzy in my old age: was there a Fallmont daughter (other than, maybe, Leslie)? A sister to Bart?
I always want that to be Emma Samms. She has amnesia, marries Jeff on THE COLBYS, and returns with him to Denver where he begins romancing PSM and Sammy Jo.
I like the idea of Ben and Emily giving their love-child daughter to Caress to raise in an English country hamlet, with Emily keeping Caress on a monthly stipend to do so. (Unaware that Caress stumbled down the steps of her cottage, dropping the baby to its death in the late winter of 1965, and then replaces it with her own infant -- one sired by Roger Grimes, that carnal cretin! -- delivered when Caress goes into labor as a result of the fall). The money from Emily continues, no one other than Caress (or possibly Caress' mother, Minx) aware that Emily's baby is dead and buried in a modest garden someplace, until Alexis -- long-banished from Blake's kingdom -- learns of the financial arrangement and forces Emily to cease payment to Caress lest Alexis reveal the existence of Emily's illegitimate baby. Emily caves, of course; thus, Caress is denied any further income, leaving the younger Morell sister to raise her own child, and mistreating the girl as she does so.
That adds considerably to the scandal of Ben & Emily's affair -- a plot that was always a bit too tepid, especially decades after it happened.
Add to that Emily's confession that she'd inadvertently killed Buck's mistress, Diamond, in the guest house behind the Carrington garages in the autumn of '64, and you have a
real reason for Emily to be so nervous and dithery the whole time, the poor woman succumbing to the collapse of the Sky Crest lodge during the Scorpio Peak avalanche that ruins Adam & Dana's wedding reception. Only a snooping Alexis and that regal monster Ursula (who manages to be a Fallmont,
and a Colby,
and the Moldavian queen mother for a time) overhears inebriated Emily's criminal confession to Blake moments prior to the catastrophe.
I mean, do I have to write
everything?!? And does
@Willie Oleson have to get a screen credit and, hence, a residual I can ill afford??
But, Jesus, didn't Emily and Caress wreak a lot of destruction from the shadows!! And Roger was involved in nearly all of it!
Krystle: "But... but who else did you kill...??"
Emily: "I.... I can't remember...."
