[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 407947, member: 8"] One of the things I find so typical about 1970s dramas is that partners, and usually the female partners, can be unreasonably pleasing and forgiving, and then the story doesn't do anything to justify it. I (vaguely) remember that Peter Manson from [I]Bouquet Of Barbed Wire [/I] installed his mistress in a flat and then ignored her. For unexplained reasons she felt completely trapped even though that didn't make any sense for such a confident and sexually aggressive woman. But there's something that about that madness that I find very intriguing to watch - like, Julia Cumson who doesn't have the [I]strength [/I] to leave Falcon Crest, almost as if she's literally stopped by the writers themselves. At the same time we have Jill's friend Julie who declares to become a homewrecker but somehow manages to take the sting of out that planned betrayal. "I want it so why shouldn't I try to get it. No hard feelings". It's [I]sort of [/I] like when Patricia's sister Margaret visited Beryl and politely yet bluntly told her that she was going to steal her husband David (one of my many, many favourite S&D scenes). [SIZE=3]Oh, poor Beryl![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
