Message: <blockquote data-quote="tommie" data-source="post: 221039" data-attributes="member: 370"><p>I think [USER=673]@Carrie Fairchild[/USER] summed it up the best when he (?) said that the other successful 80s prime time soaps could be summed up in a sentence, while The Colby's already came with so much baggage, partly from being an ill-timed spin-off, but also partly down to the concept being a bit confusing from the start. That's why I'm sort of pondering if "Fallon leaves Dynasty and runs a hotel" might've been a more successful spin-off rather than the convulted amnesia storyline (later including faux-rape and incest fantasies). Essentially, The Colby's didn't really start coming together until they wisely started to focus on The Perils of Sable. For all its faults, that scene between Sable and Jason signing the divorce papers is one hell of a soap opera powerhouse scene.</p></blockquote><p></p>
