[QUOTE="Zable, post: 195011, member: 47"] I agree. But do it to make a deal? Hmmm. Would he really, just for that? Something that's bothered me on The Colbys is the suggestion in S2 that Cecil was the eldest grandson -- Sable, when talking about how the first grandchild is always the favoured one, pointed out Jason's jealousy that his beloved granpa favoured Cecil. This if true, would contradict Jason saying in S1 that he was the firstborn when handing Jeff the heirloom pocket watch to pass to LB. Unless, there was no contradiction.... What if, Cecil was the presumed first-born son and Jason was the next son, only at some point the family discovered that Cecil was a bastard child and not a true Colby. Which resulted in him being disinherited by his father. (Because Andrew -- I forget if that was his name or not -- was possibly that sort of man: he put that stuff about special family stock to be given only to blood Colbys in his will, as Sable on TC found out. Recall also Miles, when he thought Jeff wasn't a Colby, saying his granddad would be spinning in his grave about the shares given to Jeff.) Cause enough for Cecil to be enraged at his mother. Maybe he did lash out literally and caused her death, intended or not. Might explain Jason on TC mentioning the room his mother died in -- which could have been some foreshadowing written in because remember also, that Mr Carter (Channing's uncle) had alluded to skeletons in the Colby closet before he was scared off the scene by Jason blasting a flower pot to pieces. But, for the record, TC had Philip as the disinherited son. But was silent on a great many things about Cecil. I wonder if Cecil would have been the focus of a later season, if TC had one. Making him another disinherited son on TC would have been par for the course for TC, with its mirror/twinning storylines. [/QUOTE]
