![]() "I've seen young kids being paid $20,000 a week to star in a television show because they look cute. My job is simply to entertain people, for which I am handsomely paid. We’re just pawns in this game of life, like everybody else. We’re not resolving the nuclear issue, and we’re not trying to eliminate world hunger. ![]() We actors are not so important, even though a lot of us think we are. Too many of them think the world revolves around them. Robert Foxworth remarked, "Being an actor can be dangerous to the ego. Some 'Falcon Crest' people are gonna bite the dust as we conclude this season." The episode 'Cataclysm' shown in the 'Knots Landing' time slot on Thursday night attracted a 17.9% rating. "I won't confirm that it's an earthquake, but I guarantee you there’ll be a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. "It is a stunning natural disaster, a very serious event from which some regulars will not survive," Earl Hamner told the press prior to the screening of the season finale episode. On 'Falcon Crest', the cliff-hanger showed a devastating earthquake that would cause heavy damage in Tuscany Valley. CBS received "lot of mail from Catholic viewers." Earl Hamner ended the 1985-86 season by paying homage to the 80th anniversary of the Apearthquake, estimated at 8.3 on the Richter scale which struck San Francisco causing widespread devastation. In February 1986, it was reported Ken Olin's character would be written out of 'Falcon Crest' to allay fans' concern over the continuing relationship between Father Christopher and Melissa. If we drop in the ratings, it will have to do with whether or not we are pleasing our audience. But I don't think there will be an overall effect.

The shows are such totally different things.

It seems cruel, but sometimes it works out best." Susan Sullivan mentioned, "You have to have new story lines each year and in order to do that you have to juggle people. It keeps the characters fresh because they're mixing with new people." Morgan Fairchild played lawyer Jordan Jennifer Roberts. All the characters brought in have relationships with people already on the show. Of being Angela's grandson, Ken Olin continued, "They’d (Angela and Christopher) had a relationship in the past but he never knew then that he was part of the family. That's a real problem because Melissa holds religion very dear. And then she discovers that she is falling in love. She will meet someone who accepts her as she is. She's not controlling something else is controlling her. "It will be the first time Melissa is not making something happen. ![]() Melissa falls in love with this man because he’s the first man to accept her for what she is. I wanted to give it as much depth as possible. I went to the writers and said I wanted to see everything ahead of time. ![]() I had to do some thinking about this storyline.

He is deeply in love with this woman, but he’s also deeply committed to his religion."Īna-Alicia added, "When I first saw the script, I got very concerned. And most people believe that love is good.
