Romalotti

You are very welcome; I could not do it without @alexisfan07 though, who is my third set of eyes. 🤓 April 8 was his final credit and last appearance as a contractual player. I am guessing he was demoted to recurring around the 13-week mark into his contract cycle for the 2026 pickup. It had to have been the Pluto station; again, his final feature in the opening credits was April 7. Wow, I’d never have known about Tomas. I knew Ben Gavin was taken off contract but he was the only one I’d heard about. I like Tomas, despite him not being a good actor. I feel a little bad for Colby Nixon because the talent gap between her and her onscreen boyfriend is very large. But for some reason, I want Tomas to prosper. I also like Hayley and want her to stick around so what do I know?

Is there any truth to the rumor that Jane sat out most of the final season because she didn’t like the direction the show had taken (in addition to her medical issues)?

I swore I saw him in the opening montage just the other day. I may have been watching the older episodes on BTG station on Pluto.

You’re right, the show is very addictive! I started watching from the beginning when the app was released. I’m on episode 53 right now. I’ve never seen the first few years (I started watching during the great Sheila crossover of 1992) so it’s been a real joy to watch. Getting to see characters like Rocco (mmmm…) that I’d heard about but never seen onscreen.

Was Alex Alegria taken off contract? He’s still featured in the opening montage.

I’m aware that a couple of major characters die in the next year or so, and I’m already dreading it (especially Maggie 💔). Once I was browsing the live channels on Plex and caught a few minutes of the final season. Honestly, it didn’t feel like the same show. Characters I’ve never seen before and the show had a cheap, videotaped look to it. But I’m a completist so I’ll keep trudging through until the end.

I’m only on the first season and I haven’t watched ahead. Those early episodes are in fantastic condition but I’ve heard that the quality changes for the worse in other seasons. I’m just curious why season nine is missing episodes. Are those missing episodes in the vault? I’m new to all this but I’m a little disappointed that the app advertised “every episode” and there is NOT every episode.

Watching Falcon Crest after work at night has been a real joy! I’d never seen the show before until I started watching it on FreeVee. Then they took it off FreeVee when I was nearing the end of season four but fortunately it popped up on Plex a few months later. Right now I’m in the middle of season seven and while I still enjoy watching it, this is the first truly subpar season they’ve done so far. The show was working so beautifully since the beginning. There was a dip in quality after season four but seasons five and six were still pretty good. Now in season seven, we keep getting these action-plots that pop up out of nowhere and end just as quickly. There seems to be no overarching storyline for the season (well maybe Chase’s codicil storyline but that’s been a relatively minor storyline so far). Guests stars show up and leave in a couple of episodes. Characters making ridiculous choices (Eric beats up Vicki while she’s pregnant, causing her to lose the baby. But afterwards, everyone acts like Eric is a great guy and he’s laughing with the other dudes at Richard’s bachelor party and all is forgiven/forgotten). I know the show changes in season 8 so I’m looking forward to something different. Is season eight better or worse than seven in your opinion?

Hopefully they will fix those background music issues by the time I reach those episodes. Has anyone checked any fashion show episodes to see how they handled the music copyright dilemma? Or even the Rotterdam concert episodes?
