Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie Oleson" data-source="post: 388097" data-attributes="member: 8">I believe it was mentioned in [USER=68]@Alexis[/USER] ' interview with Paul Huson that it took the writers a little while to see the true potential of the cast, and the original premise was modified accordingly.I thought the first two episodes were a bit of shambles but it all started to click in episode 3, and the rest is history.It was done with (surprising) respect to the character. "Jason dying" endangered the future of Colby Enterprises since Miles had not shown any interest so far, and that's why Constance decided to "keep" Jeff.But there had to be a reason why he was reunited with his family in the first place.Jeff had become a Carrington (possibly from the moment Cecil died, which is also why Alexis never got the chance to become a Colby) and it was very clear that he wanted nothing to do with them.There was no way Constance could have tricked him into leaving the precious Carrington World just because   she and the family needed him.The Colbys needed some Carrington bait, something that would make unsuspecting Jeff walk into the spin-off trap.In hindsight, this would not have been possible if Fallon hadn't lost her memory.It was ALL meant to be.</blockquote>
