[QUOTE="Ked, post: 441278, member: 54"] In Rosalind's case, I think that's simply a matter of the writers not realizing any of her character's potential. They wanted another daughter for Blake and Alexis, so therefore, Rosalind wasn't important (aside from being apart of the explanation of Amanda's appearance). Although interestingly, I remember a scene where Amanda described Rosalind as being "distant" while Amanda grew up, while the visiting Alexis was far more affectionate. Maybe Rosalind knew that someday, Amanda would find out the truth, so therefore kept the girl at arm's length to avoid getting attached. This actually would explain Amanda's own icy demeanor in the present day; we could have gotten a scene between her and Rosamind where the latter admitted that she regretted how she raised Amanda. All of your other ideas for Rosalind are excellent, though, and what could/should have been done! I'm not sure why Jeff's mother wasn't mentioned all that often; probably because the writers had other things to concentrate on. :lol: But yes, Season 5 would have been a good point to introduce Frankie for the reason you specified; though I suppose they could have justified her staying away until Season 6 by saying that she cut off ALL contact from the Colbys and had literally no idea what was going on with any of them, and that she only comes back because she discovers that Cecil is dead - and therefore can't tattle to anyone about Jeff's true father. My guess is that she's forgettable? :lol: Or maybe it's because people resent her for suddenly changing her mind about giving Adam and Dana their child. It's like, lady, you were paid to do this, you've already got children to take care of, and this wealthy couple also want children... why are you making things so much more difficult than they need to be?
