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.
