[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 441711, member: 8"] Technically speaking that's true, but we know enough about brother and sister Gioberti to make a guess. I presume Jasper did the same. One thing that often surprises me about this Falcon Crest forum - and I've also seen it on the Dallas forum, but only by a few hardcore JR supporters - is that there seems to be a romanticised image of Angela Channing, sort of an anti-hero rather than a villain. Because these soap villains are the main characters they cannot be dislikeably evil, they need to be entertainingly evil. We love to hate them, we don't hate to hate them. However, that doesn't absolve them of all their sins - even if Angela's villainy weakened sometimes in later seasons because the family was attacked by more dastardly villains played by guest stars. And yet...it seems perfectly alright to blame Alexis Carrington for everything that goes wrong in the world, but Angela Channing is above reproach? That is not how I watched Falcon Crest and imo she was a miserable tyrant (and a lot of fun because of that). [/QUOTE]
