Thanks for so much for this. Reading was both...Wow! Thanks for so much for this. Reading was both very interesting yet rather disappointing to me.<br /><br />Personally, I think this version of season 3 sounds fantastic! Much more intriguing and exciting than what was put on screen, with more drama, rivalries, conflicts and power struggles and more about the Carrington FAMILY Dynasty as opposed to simply the Blake/Alexis central feud.<br /><br />Love the lack of Kirby, like the idea of Steven working with Fallon at the hotel, love the sound of a Fallon/Adam battle (PSM and GT had great chemistry that wasn't exploited enough) and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the Fallon -especially her fight for control of ColbyCo. This season should have been immense for her but instead turns out to be the total opposite.<br /><br />For me the most disappointing aspect of S3 was how marginalised Fallon became and how much they ruined her character - she sounds fabulous in this version -still in character and still central to the action.<br /><br />Fallon was my fav and to me the most fascinating and complex female in the show, I wonder what happened that ended up changing her role so drastically? It seems a little strange to me. Why would they start off with so many plans and ideas for Fallon but end up barely making use of her at all with minor, underwritten background plots and weak characterisation?<br /><br />The change in the Jeff attack scene amongst others suggests to me they deliberately set out tu ruin her character but why?<br /><br />I feel PSM would have seen out her contract had even 1/2 of their original ideas come to fruition...sigh. <br /><br />Oh, I also feel Adam seems even better in this version, and I like the idea of him using his legal skills to great effect as a villain rather than a doting son as in later seasons.SPHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426638679882620813.post-26375425547994213692011-05-19T05:15:32.457-07:002011-05-19T05:15:32.457-07:00In comparison with the bibles of seasons 5 and 7, ...In comparison with the bibles of seasons 5 and 7, I think the bible of season 3 is very weak, which can explained why the first half of this season is quite weak too (even though still enjoyable). It's clear that the writers worked a lot in order to improve their original ideas and it paid off as the second part of the season is truly successful according to me. In particular, the character of Alexis beneficiated a lot of these improvements. On the contrary, Fallon suffered very much of it. In the bible, she is still a troublemaker who sleeps with Mark while she is still married with Jeff, she doesn’t reconcile with Krystle and she fights against Adam and Alexis in order to take control of Jeff's estate.<br /><br />Concerning the cliffhanger, I guess they changed it in order to keep the mystery about the murderer. But it’s interesting to think that possibly Mark would have been written out instead of Joseph if Lee Bergere hadn’t asked to leave the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426638679882620813.post-12494782285363073962011-05-18T14:56:38.267-07:002011-05-18T14:56:38.267-07:00I have to say that I absolutely *love* this site, ...I have to say that I absolutely *love* this site, LBColby! I only discovered the show just over a year ago but ever since, it's been my absolute #1. I enjoy reading everything about it and fully appreciate all that you do. <br /><br />A big thank you from all us fans :)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239856841361082467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426638679882620813.post-57852166308114302522011-05-18T14:52:21.336-07:002011-05-18T14:52:21.336-07:00Interesting!

I'm glad they kept Claudia though.I liked her. Loved her in S.2. <br />It would have been very interesting to see more of Alexis trying to win Blake back in S.3. instead of trying to ruin him. <br />No cabin fire as a cliff hanger ??? Hmmm. Then perhaps Joesph the butler would have stayed on longer, with more scenes with Alexis. Perhaps they were lovers once?? I often wondered. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
