I'm trying to think of anyone (besides Emma Samms) who could have replaced Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon...and I can't.  I just think Martin was the right actor for that part; and if she wasn't intent on remaining with DYNASTY or signing on for THE COLBYS, then the Shapiros and Pollocks should have killed off Fallon instead.

Ironically, Mary Crosby is six years younger than Pamela Sue Martin; yet, in a way, I think Crosby would have come across as being too old to play Fallon, if that makes sense.

On the other hand, the prospect of having the one "who shot J.R." now playing Blake and Alexis' daughter is too good to resist, lol.

Mary Crosby had that " Rich Bitch" thing down pat. Maybe being a Crosby naturally instilled that in her. 

I wonder if Spelling or The Shapiros ever threw her name around as PSM's replacement or since she was from Dallas she was damaged goods ?......LOL

If they ever passed over Mary Crosby for any role due to her connection to DALLAS, then they were fools.  I, myself, would have promoted the HELL out of bringing her (or any other performer from one of the other primetime shows) over to DYNASTY and/or THE COLBYS.  Especially as the show's ratings began to falter.  ("Hell hath no fury like Sammy Jo's sister scorned, when Charlene Tilton joins the cast of DYNASTY this fall," lol).

ROTFL!!! at Charlene Tilton joining Dynasty. Her acting (if you want to call it that)  would have fit right in on Dynasty or The Colbys.

I thought Katharine Ross was miscast. Kate O'Mara should have played Francesca. 

Bliss was a wash out. Maybe another actress could have breathed life into the character. 

I would have cast Jon Erik Hexum (if he had lived) as Miles on Colbys or Steven Carrington on Dynasty.

One of the primetime soaps should have snapped up Susan Dey. I know she was on the short lived Emerald Point pre-L.A. Law. The same for Diane Kay (Eight Is Enough) who appeared on the Flamingo Road pilot.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
