[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 175606, member: 27"] I guess I just want [I]stability[/I] more than anything else. As long as the actors arrive and depart with no rhyme or reason, they can't focus their efforts on building storylines that attract positive attention and thus builds ratings/viewership. To save a wounded person, the first thing you have to do is stop the bleeding. When you find yourself in a hole--quit digging! I have to cross my fingers that this Josh Reims person recognizes that they need to write more substantial stories with emotional impact rather than going from plot to plot (shock to shock) with no lasting repercussions. He also has the original series to look to for inspiration. Doing more 'modern renditions' of the plots from the original series would help build more of a structure to work from, rather than departing even further from the original series. And if he wants to build something resembling a following, they need to hold on to their actors rather than letting them leave (or firing them, or whatever). I didn't have the chance to develop an opinion of A-BC, since I was still reeling from the death of Celia when they were already pushing Cristal into Blake's bed, and by the time they settled on her being "on Blake's side" (as opposed to possibly being out to scam the Carringtons) I didn't care if she was truthful, lying, or something in-between. I just wanted her to settle into her role as Blake's wife, etc. and see if they could lift her up to become a lead rather than supporting. It will be interesting to see if the new actress enters the series with billing as high as A-BC had. It might be an indicator as to whether they want her to carry more story (more in line with Nathalie Kelley's prominence), or if she will be the supportive wife and friend who loses her identity among all the larger-than-life Carringtons (as A-BC's Cristal seemed to be heading toward).
