I DO like Peter Simon, probably more than most people here (I was a fan when he was on SFT) but DASHING? Never, ever would I have called him that. 😂
It's been a while since I watched it, but on the Locher Room I'm pretty sure Mart said that one reason he was let go was because he was very active in the actor's union. But that doesn't negate that he was also fired because they wanted someone (SNORT!) more "dashing."
I have to say I wasn't the biggest Mart fan back in the day (I was young and shallow, what can I say) but rewatching him now, he brought something real and special to Ed. They made a big mistake when they let him go, IMO.
I can't imagine what it was about Dalton that he found so offensive. If he was going to kill off anyone, it should have been Elizabeth rather than Jackie. He pretty much destroyed the character by having her abandon Phillip, no matter how hard he tried to dress it up as a noble act.
Oh, thank you. It makes sense to me, because the guy literally chucked two of his heirs out of the family. He would have wanted to make certain a male line was in place, since I believe it was said he favored Alan over Alex only because he was male. If Brandon was as horrid a father as they implied, I would think Alan would see him establishing a non-Spaulding as the Spaulding heir a neat revenge on his father.
The Dobsons might have gone down a road somewhat like this. There was the whole Stenbeck heir thing on ATWT.
