[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 393257, member: 8"] I think male characters are usually more successful as the active, physical villains. But therefore it also makes sense that the overarching and almost mythical kind of evil comes from a female character. And we got that in Falcon Crest and Peyton Place. The more specific hag horror happened in EMPIRE, as we saw Lucious Lyon's crazy momma being very creative with sharp objects. I think the perfect candidate on DALLAS was Rebecca Wentworth, but then I'd want her to be more grande dame, like Jacqueline Perrault. Heck, they could even borrow from Strait-Jacket and have the scheming daughter Katherine frame Rebecca for the murders (and then, in an ironic twist, just before Katherine is about to set fire to Southfork, she is surprised by the maniacal and stabhappy Lady Jessica Montford). Talk about a comeuppance. If you're going to borrow from another soap (as they all did) then you may as well borrow the best bits, and DYNASTY dropped the ball by not creating their own "Jacqueline Perrault". If the grande dame couldn't be there in physical form then at least it should become clear that Blake's mother [S]Ellen[/S] Lucretia Carrington was the great evil behind everything. It goes without saying that she hated Alexis in a it-takes-one-to-know-one kind of way, and that could perfectly explain why she had her grandson kidnapped. To punish her son for marrying Alexis against her will. And then later she would burn the house and herself (!) for no other reason than to inflict guilt and conflict on her sons. I think she should have been that vicious monster, and that's the novel Caress would have wanted to publish, and the facts will come to light during the epic trial that will shake the Denver high society to its very foundations. Mother Blaisdel (her name [I]has to[/I] be Gothel) could be wreaking bloody havoc in season 7. Just because they were all a bit too sensitive. Sammy Jo could accidentally save the day by running Mother Blaisdel over, but the scheming vixen is going to take all credit for it and that's when the Carringtons decide to forgive her for Rita-gate.
