[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 440816, member: 19949"] Personally, I would have preferred to see The Lloyds as a spin-off rather than The Colbys. Brady possessed the aura and presence required of a patriarch; he could have had adult children from a previous marriage with whom he ran a music business empire. Yet, perhaps it was precisely that presence that made him seem somewhat ill-suited for Dynasty as just a supporting character. I’ve always wondered how Brady’s story would have unfolded in season 5 had Billy Dee Williams stayed. The only scenario I can picture is him acting as a sounding board for Dominique as she navigated her place among the Carringtons—along with constant marital spats and reconciliations (much like Alexis and Dex)—and finally, him dying in the Moldavian massacre, ensuring that the hundreds of flying bullets claimed at least three lives. To me, the ideal moment to bring Brady back would have been the start of season 7, when Jackie was critically injured. We would have found out that she had always been like a daughter to him—someone he would want to support in this time of need, thereby bringing him closer to Dominique again. Amidst the worry over Jackie, there could have been some beautiful scenes between Dominique and Brady—though beautiful scenes weren't necessarily what Dynasty was aiming to deliver in season 7.
