Message: <blockquote data-quote="WarriorsFan" data-source="post: 337227" data-attributes="member: 36930">Was Susan Flannery's part on Dallas meant to be a long term role? I think she had an arc of 10 episodes. I can't picture her on Knots Landing, but she might have worked on Falcon Crest. Then again, she was MIA for a few years between Dallas and The Bold and the Beautiful so for all we know she might not have been interested in a long-term primetime soap role in the mid-1980s.Susan Lucci is one of the very few daytime soap actors that is known in pop culture. It was surprising that of all the primetime soaps she ended up on Dallas in its waning years. One would think that ABC would get her a short arc on Dynasty at the height of its popularity (she had guest starred on The Love Boat and Fantasy Island so Aaron Spelling was aware of her). Imagine Susan Lucci facing off with Joan Collins, that would have been something else.</blockquote>
