[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 250215, member: 8"] Telling someone who's in love not to be in love is like telling the sun not to shine, or the rain not to be wet. (should I copyright that...) I get it that they want to portray Sam as a very likeable character - and he usually is - but without the "bad" there's no way for improvement or forgiveness. I find him more interesting as the cute little parasite who can't resist his urges. I can't decide what's more fun: Sue Ellen plotting [I]for[/I] or [I]against[/I] John Ross. No, it doesn't. But this immediately creates an interesting background. I'm not sure why, maybe it's that authority/hero thing that mostly works in American stories. And then there's the whole untold story of "what went wrong?" I also loved the original idea of Blake Carrington's father being a preacher or pastor and how that contrasted with corporate greed. And imagine if Ben...oh never mind. I wondered if she was going to be Adriana La Cerva'd. Ah, the shock revelations, it's so classic soap opera. Even more so because of the formal "half-brother" title. To elevate the who-thuddit I would have had André getting involved with the struggle. [/QUOTE]
