[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 442469, member: 57984"] I'd still bring in Emma Samms as a Fallmont. The need for her to be Blake's daughter on THE COLBYS was minimal by this point. She could have been anybody. Season 5 was the splashiest DYNASTY ever got -- including its "look" (Richard Rawlings photographed faces, in Season 1 thru 4, so much better than Michel Hugo did after that --- but Season 5 was Hugo's best-looking work; and then they get into that late-'80s Telecine mess which made Hugo's work look even worse, complicated further in Season 8 where Linda's and Joan's closeups were ridiculously blurry, no doubt dictated by the producers -- even though Linda & Joan still looked great everywhere else). Season 5 versus Season 8, same cameraman: [IMG width="761px"]https://www.tellytalk.net/attachments/alexis_1985_1987-jpg.43932/[/IMG] Season 5 was the only year where the old "so-crazy-that-it's-fun" might apply. Maybe. I'm not sure it was exactly the right approach. We were bitching about these issues from the outset of Season 3, making it quite hard to enjoy that ride. And yet I masochistically stayed until the end long after everybody else had stopped watching -- just so I could reach wonderful Season 9.
