[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 107744, member: 719"] As I've said before, DYNASTY shot itself on the foot with its handling of the Colby clan. They killed Cecil and made it all be Alexis' vendetta against Blake, and that gave the show momentum, but when the merger storyline finished mid-season 4, the momentum was gone and plot-wise the show floundered until Ben Carrington reappeared (and went back to floundering after Singapore). I never forgave them the misdiagnosis, to be honest. You are creating the spin off of the #1 TV show, with a huge budget, with big names, and of a particular show which was always generating a hurricane of publicity (DYNASTY) and THAT is the storyline you have to set things in motion? Also, ironically, they spin-offed the show around Fallon but it was bad enough they did not get PSM (nothing they could do since she refused) but the Fallon they wrote for was not the same Fallon on DYNASTY. Samms was given better material on DYNASTY's two seasons where she appeared. On THE COLBYS she was more like Kirby, down to the two brothers fighting for her. [USER=8]@Willie Oleson[/USER] and [USER=152]@Snarky's Ghost[/USER] need to tell us peasants who know nothing of it more about DARK MANSIONS btw. [/QUOTE]
