ANA-ALICIA landed a role introduced by another actress in one of the episodes of Season 1, Melissa Agretti, who had more than one thing in common with DINASTY´s Fallon. The sons of honest Gioberti family were portrayed by WILLIAM (Billy in the first two seasons) R. MOSES as Cole and JAMIE ROSE, who was written off (and later replaced) when her role of Vickie was barely interesting. Despite of the re-castings that took place in the beginning, FC always tended to a constant renovation of the supporting cast and, in general, they would rather kill off the character than change his or her face.
The series showcased, in shorter or longer terms, actors like John Saxon (Tony), Laura Johnson (Terry), Cliff Robertson (Michael), Simon MacCorkindale (Greg), Anne Archer (Cassandra), Ken Olin (Christopher), Dana Sparks (Vickie #2), Brett Cullen (Dan), John Callahan (Eric), Gregory Harrison (Sharpe), Susan Blakely (Anne) and many more, including ubicuous MORGAN FAIRCHILD, playing a role unusual for her.
Also starring in 7 episodes of Season 8 was Catalan actress ASSUMPTA SERNA, as glamourous Anna Cellini. In the first two seasons, the Special Guest Star was LANA TURNER, who gueststarred in 6 spaced-out episodes. Her character Jacqueline Perrault was Chase´s mother and Angela´s lifetime enemy (rivalry that spread into real life and caused Turner´s forced death).
Season 4 featured Italian diva GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA, as an attempt to find their own Joan Collins. After 5 episodes playing Francesca Gioberti, Angela´s secret half-sister, la Lollo quit the show and returned to Italy. Since then, a lot of old-time stars showed up, such as Celeste Holm (Anna), Jane Greer (Charlotte), Cesar Romero (Peter), KIM NOVAK (Kit), Robert Stack (Roland), Leslie Caron (Nicole) and Rod Taylor (Frank).
About the regular cast of FC, most of them were wasted in roles that were just indisputable copycats of the families from Dallas and Denver. The writers started off from an original idea, though: a public airlines pilot moved in to California after inheriting some vineyards from his father, dead in strange circumstances, and he met the hostility of her doublefaced aunt and cousin.
Season 2 stories focused on Melissa´s father´s murder, and her marriage to Lance being pregnant with Cole´s baby, following the pattern of the detective shows, which kept the interest up. In following years, the soapy resources were based on the plots of the rival shows, leading them into their last consequencies to hide their origin. A terrorist organisation called the Cartel distinguished the show as being one of the most graphically violent of that TV age. After a couple more years of splendor, FC begun to decline slowly, and was cancelled in 1990, giving a happy and closed ending: a toast of Angela looking at her lands was its last image, aired on May 17th, 1990.
