They called her once a year to come back, but she wisely refused. So they recast Fallon with a completely different type of actress. (They eventually would recast all four grown children disastrously -- everybody hated it, but the brass seemed to like doing it; Aaron Spelling later said that "nobody gives a damn" if you recast supporting actors, but that wasn't true at all).PSM observed that the original writers were replaced (pretty quickly) with "traditional soap writers" (and not very good ones, who were pals with the creators) and she wasn't about to go back to the series.</blockquote>
