John Beck would probably never have returned if Patrick Duffy hadn't left, but he still was fired after Patrick Duffy's return. Jack as a character might never have been necessary if Bobby had stayed on the show, but Dack Rambo probably wouldn't have been written out in season 10 without Bobby's return. Solomon Smaniotto would probably have stayed on as Tony for a while longer if he hadn't turned out to be a dream character. And how much longer would Susan Howard have been allowed to stay on the show if she hadn't been able to complain about the dream season? Jack was supposed to be the new partner for Jenna, so there would have been no reason for Ray and Donna to break up. On the other hand, Jenilee Harrison was still able to earn some money thanks to Patrick Duffy's return, and the same might be true for Deborah Shelton. Still, I wonder if some cheeky journalist ever asked Patrick Duffy about his "guilt".</p></blockquote><p></p>
