He did, and somewhat regretted it.  Mr. Lemay was not a fan. 

Right.  Lemay was not a fan of Jordan Charney's acting choices.  Perhaps a recast would have been a good idea, instead of writing off the character.  Lemay enjoyed writing for working-class characters, and keeping Sam in town would have given Rachel another foil to bring her down-to-earth, as she became the wife of another millionaire.   Also, since Sam was an attorney, Lemay could have written to Sam's internal conflict between his working-class roots and his upper middle-class income.  Like so many of AW's earlier characters, there was still a lot of potential drama in Sam Lucas.

Considering the fate of characters who were recast partly down to Lemay not liking the acting maybe it's for the best.

Apparently Lemay and Rauch had a hard time finding male actors they really liked. They seemed to settle for serviceable actors quite a bit, according to Lemay’s book.

I remember him saying people he liked would not stay long because of their theater careers, which must have been disappointing but probably should have been a wakeup call about casting.

This return of Cecile's was such a waste. 

I KNOW! It was so desappointing seeing Cecile poor, desperate, kinda beaten up. The True Cecile would never allow herself to get to that point

I always wanted Cecile to return to town with the surprise announcement that she's finally married to Peter. Restart the Cecile/Donna rivalry.

I posted a simplified version of My theory on Facebook but i believe This would be a better place to discuss it

DID IRIS CORY CARRINGTON BANCROFT WHEELER & ANOTHER WORLD INSPIRE DYNASTY?

It has bugged me a LONG time, but there's quite a few coincidences:

In 1972 Iris came To Town after Jet-Setting In Europe for Years, She decided she wanted Former Husband Elliot CARRINGTON back, But He Has Since Been Involved with His and Iris' Son's ,Dennis, Governess Alice Frame, A Young Lovely, Loyal, Blonde SweetHeart, who came from a Lower Social Level

Then Came Mac and Rachel, When Her DADDY, decided To Marry a significantly Younger Woman, whom she considered a Gold Digger unworthy of Him she gave her Stepmother Hell, and Made everything in her Power To Break Then Up, as Well as Marrying a Loving Man who she didn't really appreciated until she basically lost him

Now will you tell There's Huge Parallels Between Dynasty and Another World? Iris was Both Alexis AND Fallon! Not To Mention The similarity on those photographs

From IMDB (so I can't vouch for its reliability):

Esther and Richard Shapiro, the creators of DYNASTY, are friends of former head writer Harding Lemay. They not only named their family after Lemay's super bitch Iris Carrington, but the Krystle-Blake-Fallon triangle was borrowed heavily from the Rachel-Mac-Iris story. The Shapiros have also claimed they modeled Joan Collins' Alexis after the super glamorous Iris.

Harding Lemay talks about this Shapiros in this interview.

MLH: Well, you had a beautiful and extremely intelligent actress playing that part.  She preceded the Alexis character on DYNASTY.
LEMAY: Two prime time soaps took names from my characters.  The Ewings were on DALLAS; the Carringtons were on DYNASTY.

MLH: Sounds like the creators of these series watched ANOTHER WORLD.
LEMAY: Oh yes, the Shapiros, David and Esther.  I knew them.
