World Cup Qualification Round The World Cup of 80s Prime Time Soap Characters Qualification

He was also really good playing the murderer in the episode of Columbo called Grand Deceptions.

 

Season one was screened on BBC1 on Saturday evenings, around 8 or 9 pm. Season 2 went out on Tuesday evenings at 9.30 after the 9 o'clock news on BBC1.

I was really very good, not in the same league as Dallas, Knots and Falcon Crest but I preferred it to Dynasty.

 

Sorry, I thought you meant Flamingo Road.

ITV completely botched the screening of Falcon Crest. Season 1 and 2 went out at 8pm on Thursdays and then it got a bit more complicated depending on where you lived. In London, to begin with, season 3 also was broadcast at 8pm on Thursday but half way through, Thames TV moved it from prime time and screened it at 10.30 pm after News At Ten. Season 4 to 6 were broadcast on Tuesday afternoons at 2 pm and subsequent seasons were never screened on terrestrial TV.

Elsewhere in the UK, different ITV regions screened Falcon Crest on different days and different times. Most TV regions continued to broadcast season 3, 4 and 5 at 8 pm on either Wednesday (e.g. Granada TV region) or Thursday (Central TV region) while others moved it to daytime midweek or on a Sunday afternoon. I think season 6 was screened during daytime in all regions and the later seasons moved to Sky after they bought the broadcast rights.

 

When more than one actor plays the same character, for the purpose of this game, you should consider the character as a whole, in all versions played by the actors and not just your favourite portrayal of the role.

 

Characters that appeared in more than one soap will only be able to represent the one they were in the most. Jeff Colby will therefore only feature once as a Dynasty character and not as one from The Colbys.

It's possible that the same actor can feature twice if they played different characters in different soaps. For example, if Jordan wins the current vote, then Morgan Fairchild will participate as her in Falcon Crest and also as Constance in Flamingo Road.

 

There's still time to vote. The poll for the Falcon Crest qualification round closes at midnight on Sunday 19th August.

 

The poll has now closed and the votes have been counted and verified. The results of the Falcon Crest qualification are as follows:

Melissa Agretti - 30
Chase Gioberti - 20
Emma Channing - 10
Julia Cumson- 10
Chao-Li - 6
Cole Gioberti - 6
Pamela Lynch - 5
Greg Reardon - 3
Peter Stavros - 3
Jacqueline Perrault - 1
Michael Sharpe - 1
Jordan Roberts - 1

The 2 winners of this round who now qualify for the knock out round of the World Cup are confirmed as:



There was a tie for third place between the sisters Emma Channing and Julia Cumson. The rules of the World Cup state that in the event of a tie, the casting vote goes to the first person(s) to vote, excluding myself. As @Willie Oleson voted for Julia before anyone (other than myself) voted for Emma, Julia Cumson will now join Sammy Jo Dean, Jock Ewing and one character I will select from Flamingo Road and from The Colbys in a vote for a final chance to qualify.

Thanks to everyone who voted in this round.

Details of the next vote (the Knots Landing Qualification Round) will be posted later today.
