[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 440157, member: 57984"] They offered the role of Lady Ashley to Candice, Raquel, Angie and, I think, Elizabeth. They all turned it down. If Blake and Ashley were engaged in the 1950s and Ashley was shoved aside by a teenaged Alexis, Candice would have been too young (and Raquel too, really). I like the idea of Angie and Rigg -- but, a year later, they also turned down Sable in THE COLBYS (as did Faye Dunaway). As we've said, Frankie could have been the same character as Ashley, potentially. Over time, I think I've come to best like the idea of Angie as Ashley (Spelling was always trying to get her for DYNASTY anyway) but Angie either told Aaron that "you have too many ladies on that show already!", or she asked for too much money for the "special guest star" billing, reportedly $120,000 (even Billy Dee Williams was only getting $80,000/episode, which is why he left so quickly). But Angie might have fit the bill as a mysterious lady from Blake's past, an ex-fiancé, who is now tied in to international high society, a slinky, globe-trotting, jet-setting power broker who knows the secrets of the world. (Angie has taken any number of roles after turning them down initially; she just likes to be wined-and-dined and asked two or three times before saying "yes"). But whoever played Lady Ashley, we could learn in Season 6 that she had a role in the massacre happening, vengefully determined to prevent Alexis from becoming part of the royal family, Lady Mitchell (with a better last name) having orchestrated [I][B]even her own murder [/B][/I]at the melee because she was terminally ill That just gives more motive, coming or going, for Ashley being on the show in the first place.
