[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 72120, member: 719"] Well, they were added because the storyline possibilities of the old characters had maxed out, or because core Ewing or Carrington cast actors were leaving and the shows were looking ahead to bringing in some characters to replace them, or for both reasons. But that is the same with many of these characters--every single tragedy has happened to them, and when nothing is left they write them off. Maybe Grey's will not go on without its main character, but I think the Ewing/Barnes feud could have been the main driving force for ongoing seasons, same as in Dynasty the continuation of the Carrington dynasty could have worked the same. And Knots with its cul-de-sac residences could have residents moving in and out for decades. [/QUOTE]
