It's been years since i've watched Paper Dolls, but I remember liking it for the most part. There was a ton of characters, but most seemed fairly well connected. There were too many layers. It probably should have just focused around Racine's agency. I think the pilot film had just Wesley in it, but not the rest of the Harper family.
I would have dropped the Sara character (the lawyer who was sleeping with Rosco Borne's Mark Bailey and was Blair's pal) and I don't think Laurie's parents would have lasted into a second season. I think the show made a smart decision writing off Marjorie in the finale while building a Wesley / Colette / Grant triangle, though I don't remember having much interest in the story as it played out. I liked Laurie and the young man who had a salatacious past (he had done adult films I think). I thought Taryn and John Waite was fun.
I saw a handful of episodes of Berrengers. I liked the Julian Morell/ Julio Morales story. I thought Robin Strang's character seemed interesting, but didn't do much from what I recall. The French model (Laurel Hayes?) didn't work as well I think they hoped it would.
It would seem both the other primetime soaps we have talked about lately (Executive Suite and Beacon Hill) also struggled with that.
