[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 420359, member: 57984"] I don't think those were PSM's motives for leaving DYNASTY at all. Movies might've been nice, but she wanted out of a series which had a narrative sensibility that was cratering. Saying otherwise is like saying that Victoria made a "mistake" in leaving DALLAS when she did. Both actresses were right and saw the writing on the bubblegum wrapper. Perhaps during WW2, Cecil and his uncle (Andrew's brother) were involved with the Fallon family in a military hardware deal to provide materiel to the government to fight the Axis Powers with huge profits at stake. But the Fallons pulled out at the last minute when they realized the deal also meant providing munitions to Hitler (which happened at the time in real life). And even though the Catholic Fallons weren't particularly sympathetic to the plight of the Jews necessarily, the Fallons had a moral issue with supplying the Third Reich with munitions that would inevitably kill American soldiers. When the arrangement fell through and untold millions of dollars were lost, Cecil and his uncle were inconsolable and vowed to destroy what remained of the Fallon dynastic empire, using the Colby connections with the corporate world, Wall Street and in Washington to ultimately crush the Fallons, the Fallon kingdom setting in the west behind the Rockies as a result just as Blake's corporate star rose in the east. So Cecil became Blake's "best friend" with the main objective of keeping an eye on him, occasionally sabotaging Blake from the shadows, slowing his rise to some degree. After all, a Fallon is a Fallon by any other name. [/QUOTE]
