[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 443798, member: 19949"] Instead of turning Francesca into a bitch, I would have presented her as a mysterious woman—someone who makes the audience wonder whether or not she can be trusted. It could have become a recurring theme of The Colbys that something from the past kept surfacing to make Francesca look bad. For starters, Francesca should have told Jeff that she had left him because she was suffering from persistent postpartum depression and viewed separating from the child as her only form of self-treatment. Sable could counter that she never noticed any signs of depression, leaving it unclear who is telling the truth. Before the planned wedding to Roger, Francesca’s stepson (who could have become a love interest for Monica) was supposed to show up and claim that Francesca had killed his father. It would have turned out that all of Francesca’s husbands (just how many were there?) had died shortly after the marriage. Francesca would have insisted on her innocence, and ultimately, it would have been revealed that the stepson was a psycho who had killed his father himself. Sable should have recalled how Francesca had been determined to care for her terminally ill mother. Although doctors had given the mother a few more months to live, she passed away within weeks while in Francesca’s care. Sable intended to delve into the past and question the former doctors and nursing staff. Ultimately, Francesca would confess to Jason that her mother had asked for help to die and that she had granted that wish with a heavy heart. This selfless act would convince Jason that Francesca was the right woman for him, and nothing would ever tear them apart—whereas Sable believed her sister had simply been overwhelmed by the task of caring for her dying mother, just as she had been with baby Jeff, and had killed her. Francesca could have claimed that her father had molested her when she was very young—a notion completely incomprehensible to Sable. Under hypnosis, Francesca would have recalled that it was not her father but her uncle (perhaps Alexis's father?) who had abused her; that would have made Sable even angrier, given that Francesca had falsely accused her beloved father.
