[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 247857, member: 8"] I also think season 1 was better. I thought Jeff was Fallon's husband in Dynasty, and Fallon was Jeff's wife in The Colbys. Somehow I can't picture PSM in the role of Jeff's wife, or being in a spin-off without "daddy". Kinda like Lucy Ewing couldn't be in Knots Landing. Krystle was the other woman in the Blaisdel marriage, and yet I thought she had more integrity than Sable. Therefore I wouldn't say that fidelity is the ultimate trump card, certainly not in soap operas. I'm not the biggest fan of Philip or what he contributed to the story, and the actor didn't bring anything special to the table. The biggest missed opportunity was to [I][B]not[/B][/I] make him Constance's son - [I]that[/I] would have turned everything upside down (like the juicy scandal from season 1) and also would have provided a better off-screen storyline for Constance, rather than connecting her with the Cassidys. He's cocky and show-y, but also a bit insecure. And he usually has a horse between his legs. It reminds me of the traditional comedy duo situation wherein one character creates the opportunity for the joke and then the other steals the show by doing the joke. She was much more of a sidekick than a nemesis, but Frankie's half-hearted protests and the way she always got everything so effortlessly made Sable more believable than in Dynasty S9. Even her sparrings with Constance were relatively mild (by Dynasty standards) but it always stayed on the good side of camp. I found it very funny that Frankie could cause so much frustration by doing so little. Yeah, kinda like a cross between Liberace and Peter Stavros. However... ...I think that creepiness worked for that situation, he was basically stalking her. Maybe it [I]was[/I] the lack of sex-appeal that gave him a bit of an edge. And I wouldn't want all the characters to be generic-pretty like they often do in daytime soaps. [/QUOTE]
