I can't help it, I really like Richard. David Selby is just so charming that I enjoy his character no matter what trouble Richard stirs up. When he comes to Falcon Crest with a court order to take his boys home and gleefully calls out, "Michael, Kevin! Daddy's here!" it's perfect. It's believable that Richard really loves those boys, and still loves Maggie. He also hates losing. In the real world, he and Maggie would be doing some real emotional damage to those kids, taking them from the other parent. Maggie knew what she was getting into by marrying Richard just as he knew that Maggie would object if she knew of his scheming and backroom dealings. It would have been more interesting having them stay married but we know no one can stay happy for long on Falcon Crest.
The other story line of the boys getting into a car crash after being run off the road isn't that compelling. Frankly, many of the new characters this season aren't that interesting. Meanwhile, Lance and Pilar are back after eloping. Jane Wyman continues to look thin and frail this season but ever the professional her Angela Channing is still feisty.
