[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 433172, member: 19949"] According to a poll about Morgan Fairchild's best performances, Jordan Roberts only came in third: [URL]https://www.tellytalk.net/threads/morgan-fairchild-at-her-best.15135/[/URL] I can't really say whether she was most challenged as an actress in Falcon Crest. I think the problem was that as a fan, you already knew Falcon Crest so well in season 5 that you knew the dramas there never went as deep as on Dallas or Knots Landing. If Morgan Fairchild had had the exact same storyline on Knots Landing, I probably would have been more impressed, because everything there felt more real, whereas serious drama on Falcon Crest often came across as just another plot point. I particularly liked Morgan Fairchild in her short-lived series Flamingo Road and Paper Dolls. Incidentally, I also liked her on North & South, which featured many guest stars who tried to make a big impression, like Elizabeth Taylor or Linda Evans, but Morgan Fairchild didn't overdo it on N&S, because she understands how to avoid presenting herself as a star in shows that aren't her own. While I consider it unlikely that Morgan Fairchild would have appeared on Dynasty after her other soap experiences, if she had, I would have preferred her to be in a role that remained small with the original actress, but which Morgan would have owned so well that she would have been retained, such as Nicole from season 5, Claire from season 7 or Joanna from season 9.
