I absolutely HATED Emma Samms as Fallon ! Weird that NOBODY on here complains about that ?
Pamela Sue Martin had IT going on! Thinking back - who do YOU think would have made a good replacement ?
Any thoughts.....................
"The ENEMY of my ENEMY is my FRIEND"
There are MANY threads here that talk about the miscasting of Emma Samms as Fallon! But most folks agree she had improved significantly by season 9.
shareYou're right! Emma Samms was not a bad actress I suppose, but a VERY bad Fallon indeed. They should have gone with Maren Jensen of original Battlestar Galactica fame. Honestly, she bore a striking resemblance to Pamela with blue eyes, silky brown hair, and willowy thin figure. She hadn't acted in a few years at that time and a comeback would have been Very welcome.
shareIt was the writing that made Samms a bad Fallon up to 9 - then in 9 the writing made Samms a great Fallon, but in my heart of hearts, POSITIVELY SUPERIOR Martin was the best Fallon ever.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
Yes, I agree. I liked Pamela Sue Martin because she had that cool, edgy girl style that was reminiscent of Laurie Partridge (Partridge Family) and Elaine Robinson (The Graduate). For some reason, she reminded me of Patty Hearst too. Didn’t Fallon get kidnapped once?
Yeah Emma Samms only made sense as Alexis’ daughter. Both dark haired Brits.
Good description. Exactly describes her appeal. Yes, I was reminded of Patty Hearst with her too.
What was Emma Samms in before Dynasty? I want to say Upstairs Downstairs but I think I am confusing her with Lesley Anne Downe. Need to look that up sometime.
