Lorraine Prescott

[Angela Channing]

In an interview with TV Sara said that she would rather kiss Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Conan than David Selby
They told David in an interview and asked him what you think
David, who is very intelligent and has a great sense of humor, answered
You have to ask how he kisses his wife Maria Shriver, Kennedy's niece

I don't understand the point you are making. Are you saying because Sara Douglas had an unproven feud with David Selby, Reza Badiyi went on TV to spread unproven stories about Lorraine Prescott being promiscuous? Do you realise how ridiculous these claims are? If they were said in court, Philip Erikson or Greg Reardon would have them thrown out for being totally unsubstantiated and totally lacking in credibility.

Both very bad
Reza Badiyi never appeared on any TV show, you misunderstood me
Reza Badiyi directed Mission: Impossible? Mannix Hawaii 5-OThe Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, Eight is Enough? The Incredible Hulk and Knots Landing and Maybe Hart to Hart? of Falcon Crest 35 of the 227 episodes in the series'
Reza is completely reliable
In the interview he said the following
Douglas was not a very good actress. “But she did quite well after she was instructed,” he added. Reza wanted to know if she told me the true reason why she left the show. I explained I did not know if her statement was the true story as long as I had not heard his version of her. So he decided to let us know why she really left - or actually why she got kicked out:
Sarah could not stand Kate Vernon, and their feud came to a nasty climax towards the end of season 4… But the origin of the quarrel started at the beginning of the 1984-85 season during location filming in the Napa Valley: David Selby went out with Kate in San Francisco - after telling Sarah he would have to go back to Los Angeles that day. When Sarah found out he had lied to her because he just did not want her to come along, she was sore. Sarah got her chance for revenge: When the producers decided to kill off Kate’s character, Lorraine, towards the end of season 4, Sarah told JOHNNY CARSON THE TONIGHT SHOW ON NBChat Kate Vernon was soon going to die on Falcon Crest and ella should best be buried in a Y-shaped coffin because the actress' legs were like a “Y” - always wide open for anyone… - alluding to the fact that Kate did not have a very good reputation on the set because she was a promiscuous girl. Sarah was fired after that faux-pas.
Earl Hamner, the creator of Falcon Crest, also commented on it in another interview.

 

[Richard Denault]

Did you enjoy Richard's stepdaughter Lorraine Prescott? Would you have liked if she came back in season 5, instead of killing her off. Lance seemed to get over Lorraine very quickly, moving onto Apollonia.

In my opinion Lorraine must have died in childbirth. A daughter of Lorraine and Lance would have given a lot of play
Lance Angela and Richard would have fought for custody

 

[Richard Denault]

So, it was Reza Badiyi who said that Sarah said that thing about the Y-shaped coffin (*giggles*) on the Tonight Show?

That's a very nice thing to say of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and maybe he is a very good kisser.
It looks like you're defending David Selby where no defense is needed, he's not a victim

In Spanish it is said that for tastes there is nothing written
Joan Rivers also missed the comment
Joan Rivers: Im looking at you now why did Sarah Douglas say she'd rather make love to Arnold Schwarzenegger than you what Sarah Duglas in an interview we check out these backs ....
I really liked the couple Pamela Lynch and Richard Channing.
I didn't like that Richard left her first for Francesca and then for Cassandra.
Pam was very smart and she understood Richard very well.

Returning to the main topic, I just finished episode 24. I find Lorraine super irritating and don’t feel sorry for her. I liked the scenes in which Angela let her know who was in control. I fear the next 6 episodes will be tedious since Lorraine plays a leading role. Wish me luck !

 

[GillesDenver]

I did not liked her either. I never believed that Richard had been a (step)father - or a married man -, it did not fit with what we saw of him in the previous seasons. I also hated how Lance became a good boy under her influence. His disastrous experience at the newspaper in season 1was much more in accordance with his personality.
I was relieved when Lorraine died. Even Apollonia was more tolerable to me.

Perhaps that was the whole idea behind it.

Yep, more retcon mania. I think I kept forgetting that she was Richard's stepdaughter.

Wasn't she season 4's answer to LORI? And wouldn't it have been nice and romantic if Lance & Lori had gotten back together again at the end of the series?

What a vintage presentation. Wonderful!

 

[GillesDenver]

Perhaps that was the whole idea behind it.

A very bad idea. Like the insane Melissa.

And wouldn't it have been nice and romantic if Lance & Lori had gotten back together again at the end of the series?

I like Pilar, I think she worked very well with Lance.

 

[Willie Oleson]

So cute

I finished season 4 last night, my thoughts exactly. I didn’t buy the storyline plus it was kind of creepy that Lance went after Lorraine since she was only 19! Lance was also a disaster at the newspaper in season 4, Delaney was the real power.

Pilar so smart made Lance more foolish.

Reza Badiyi never appeared on The Tonight Show while Lorraine Prescott was on Falcon Crest, if ever. Where are you getting your information from because your source is totally inaccurate.

I never said it was Reza on TV.
It was Sara Douglas.
The Sara issue was commented on by Reza in an interview that was published and on the internet that Reza gave to a Falcon Crest fan. Earl Hammer, creator of Falcon Crest, also commented the same thing.
Other Earl confidences to the same fan
Jane Wyman is still in contact with Harry Harris, the director
iI a rivalry between Morgan Fairchild and Apollonia Kotero, Morgan complained about having not enough dia- log and scenes at the beginning of season 5?
the “English actress” [Sarah Douglas] was fired because of her de ella scandalous behavior de ella on The Tonight Show after say- ing the “young promiscuous girl” [Kate Vernon] should have been buried in a Y-shaped coffin?
Earl was glad about Kim Novak being a part of season 6, but he had no influence in the develop- ment of her storyline despite being credited as a creative consultant as his deal de ella was nullified by nasty manipulations
Earl always wanted to lure Dorothy McGuire from the Claudia movies into the cast, but it did not work out
Earl does not get any royalties for reruns of the show because payment clauses in his contract depend on a profit, but Lorimar's "creative bookkeeping" only resulted in (faked) losses

I loved Lorraine. Season 4 had a lot of great moments and plotlines. Really felt like a turning point for Lance to me. Dina was another.

 

[mrpitkin]

Was it explained why she had to go back into surgery and then became brain dead?

 

[Chase Gioberti]

It is not a gossip, it was told by Reza Badiyi who directed many episodes of Falcon Crest

Links?

It would be more reliable if you shared a link to your sources. It is not the year 2000 anymore. It is common practice to provide links and that crosses language barriers.

Was it explained why she had to go back into surgery and then became brain dead?

Oddly enough, the scene explaining it was deleted. Maybe by accident because one would assume the producers would feel the necessity to explain.

The scene is listed in the BTS of the episode on our website with more details: https://www.falconcrest.org/english/master.php?path=show/episodes/ai/bts/4/098

Reza actually mentioned the basics in an interview conducted for our "FALCON CRESTers Tell It All!" newsletters (volume 1).
