[QUOTE="alexpaige, post: 357245, member: 55379"] I didn't read the story, Earl told me himself. I interviewed him in 2004 and the interview was published online. We then became friends and had many email and in-person conversations over the years from then until his death. You can see extracts from my original interview with him in the About section on his website earlhamner.com which is still up. Yes, Michael Filerman was gay, but he had minimal involvement in Falcon Crest once the show was underway. Earl found himself unable to work with Filerman, so Filerman withdrew from active involvement in the production (he kept his percentage of the show and executive producer on-screen credit though). So he would have had little to do with Jane Wyman except in the early stages. It was Earl who wanted her for the role and who hired her. I don't know why Wyman would have had a problem with personnel from Flamingo Road coming onto the show? You seem to think she had a lot of veto power but from what Earl told me that is untrue. The cartel plot was something that Earl was actually very keen on. Jane Wyman did not try to get Stern and Black out of the way. That was Bob McCullough who did that. [/QUOTE]
