[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 437842, member: 19949"] When I watched the series in its original run, and no one knew how long the show would stay on the air, I felt like season 10 was the beginning of the end. The plots were still strong on paper, but somehow everything just didn't translate to the screen with the same energy as before. Looking back, I think Lady Jessica marked the beginning of the end. The unwritten rule for successful characters used to be to introduce them slowly so the audience would want to see more of them, like Donna or Katherine. If new characters were shown too often right away, like Leslie or Peter, they couldn't win over the audience. This formula, which was different compared to the other big soaps, worked for seven seasons, but everything changed with Lady Jessica. She came in like a wrecking ball, and from then on, that seemed to be the motto for every new character. And which of the fresh faces managed to impress? [/QUOTE]
