[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 419783, member: 57984"] The big four nighttime soaps of the '80s were unusually well-cast, and that was the key to their appeal and the trick to their longevity. Even after most of them had begun to fall apart midway through the decade, the narratives and the ambiance lost, viewers kept coming back -- for a while -- in hopes that the original fire that had once made them so compelling would be reignited. But while DYNASTY was as effectively cast as any of them, when that show chose the wrong actor (e.g., Geoffrey Scott, Jack Coleman , Helmut Berger, Michael Nader) it flubbed in a way the others didn't, the poor choices resembling that from a second-rate episode of LOVE BOAT.
