Even when it didnt make sense, I still loved this show, but hated when Pamela Sue Martin was replaced as well as Al Corley, the replacement of Al was good but still missed Al, Pamela and Emma both great actresses but for Pamela their is no replacement. As for the son who returned if you watched and listened closely, Adam was a real Carrington but a bad seed and a jealous one despite others saying he wasn't. It was definitely my favorite night soap and as for Kirby, the character, I never liked this chatacter just felt sorry for her, such a whiner.
