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.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.
