[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 317569, member: 8"] And it would have been more shocking if Mark hadn't died two episodes earlier. It happened shortly before she went to the party at La Mirage, it could have happened shortly before she went to the wedding. Even though the arrest of Miles Colby felt very much like an afterthought and failed to be eventful in its own right I still think it feels more like a double whammy. He had to endure watching the love of his life and Jeff the family "intruder" drive off into the sunset and on top of that he got arrested. I guess it was also a double whammy for Alexis because of Fallon's disappearance, but I've never been able to buy into Alexis' mother-children relationship, which isn't a bad thing at all because it only confirmed her narcissistic personality (as if we didn't already know that). The Carrington kids was Blake's department - at least one thing from season 1 that never changed - and come to think it, doesn't it apply to all the SoapLand patriarchs? It was nice to know how Miss Ellie felt about her children but the meaty stuff was always about how they related/didn't relate to Jock. Allison MacKenzie's existence seemed to be defined by a stranger in a framed photograph, and while the Sable-Miles relationship was one of the main subjects that drove the story it was Jason's actions that had the greatest emotional impact on Miles. Furthermore, Maxwell Caulfield was always very entertaining when he played Miles with a bewildered or maniacal expression on his face. The arrest of Alexis was campier, the arrest of Miles was funnier - and considering the context, also sadistically funny. And while it's true that the viewer doesn't care about William Mahoney, the idea that it may have been Zach Powers who tried to frame the Colby brothers feels soapy-bigger than being framed by Neal McVane who had already attacked Alexis in season 3. Nevertheless, there was something much more sinister and creepier about McVane's shenanigans, and Alexis' arrest deserves extra points for getting handcuffed inside Blake Carrington's holy library.
