[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 440628, member: 19949"] First off, I appreciate that the writers developed Chase in season 6 in such a way that his absence wasn't felt nearly as acutely as Bobby's was after his death on Dallas. Chase really wasn't missed all that much. As for Chase's potential return in the "real" world—given the budget cuts of the later seasons—I would have opted against it; after all, who else would have had to be cut from the cast to make room for Chase's comeback? Had Falcon Crest faced no budget constraints whatsoever, I likely would have brought Chase back midway through season 9—specifically when Michael Sharpe swindled Falcon Crest out of Emma's hands. In my "dream scenario", it would have turned out that Angela hadn't merely been in a coma for a few months, but had actually been comatose since the earthquake—that is, for nearly four years. This would have meant that all those characters presumed dead were, in truth, still alive: Chase, Maggie, Melissa, Terry, and Dwayne (who would have been happily married to Emma). Furthermore, Richard would not have been Angela’s son, the Agrettis would never have owned Falcon Crest, and Julia would still have her eyesight. To Angela’s great shock, the various characters would have actually managed to get along quite well with one another in the interim—making it unequivocally clear that Angela herself was the sole reason there was always so much drama on Falcon Crest.
