My mother is currently binging FALCON CREST on Tubi, and she's just started Season 7. She texts me throughout the day, telling me what's going on in the show at the moment. Some of it I'll remember, and some of it I don't.

One thing I do remember is the Season 6 finale which brings forth the exit of Robert Foxworth as Chase. If memory serves me, they never officially "kill off" Chase, but leave his destiny ambiguous for the remainder of the series (which, to be fair, I've never made it past the first ten or so episodes of Season 8, so I wouldn't know if anything late in the series handles his death directly). I know there's the whole Nicole Sauget (guest star Leslie Caron) saga at the start of Season 7 that tries to add some added dimensions to Chase's story, but it receives a mixed response from most fans. I personally like Leslie Caron's scenes with Jane Wyman, but I digress.

In saying all that, should Chase have returned to Falcon Crest? If so, why and when? Should Robert Foxworth have returned or would a recast have been acceptable?
