What are some storylines in the later seasons of Falcon Crest that made no sense in light of what we had learned earlier in the series?
One example is the saga involving Nicole Sauguet and her loan to Chase to help him get his vineyard started. It seems to contradict what we had already been told about Chase's financial situation.
Chase applied for loans from banks in Tuscany and was turned down. His solution was to sell his New York home to raise the money. So if he had access to someone willing to lend him $30 million, why was he struggling to secure financing from banks in the first place?
The financial logic behind this storyline has always seemed questionable to me. Unless I'm forgetting something, or Nicole's loan came at a later point, the whole situation doesn't quite add up.
Was this ever properly explained, or is it just one of those Falcon Crest plot devices that falls apart if you think about the money for more than five minutes?
