I remember watching Falcon Crest as a child... I've just recently started binge watching. Jane Wyman is a joy. David Selby and Susan Sullivan are two more of my favorites. Ana Alicia was extraordinary. When they killed her off, (Melissa) the ratings dropped dramatically as they should have. Then they killed Chase off who was one of the main characters on the show(big mistake). Then in the final season Susan Sullivans character was killed off by drowning in a pool(another big mistake). In the ninth and final season you didn't see much of Jane Wyman. She was having some health issues at the time. They should have just ended the show in the eighth season. This show would have continued far longer if they didn't kill off key characters that where such an integral part of the show. The ninth and last season was just horrible!!!! It almost felt like a comedy. Very disappointing.
