[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440639, member: 7"] I also agree with the storylines leading up to Chase's eventual exit at the close of Season 6 helped his absence to be less of a shock for the audience and in the totality of the show itself. It honestly didn't take very long for me to grow tired of Chase when I went through my binge a few years back. He ended up being a complete jerk and hothead, and he certainly wasn't a character I rooted for. The fact that he was originally supposed to be the "good" to the "bad" presented by Angela and Richard wore out and, for me at least, he ended up doing more that I didn't like, especially in his treatment towards Maggie and his children. Did I read somewhere that the original decision was to allow Chase to presumably perish at the end of Season 5 in the earthquake? I might be misremembering that, but it would've been an alright time in the show to go ahead and retire the character, if not permanent as it turned out. Robert Foxworth wanted off the show, so his coming back might've been hard to confirm. As I've stated multiple times before, I've yet to finish FALCON CREST, having stopped perhaps halfway through Season 8.
