He was one of the few cast members who perished in the season-cliffhanging plane crash that involved the entire cast (the others being Mel Ferrer, whom Jane Wyman wanted to get rid of, and the supporting Mary Kate McGeehan, who played Cole's insipid wife Linda). By the end of the season, his character was so emasculated that it had no significance. Instead, they paired him with Laura Johnson as a cuckolded husband. He was originally hired to play a romantic lead in a triangle with Robert Foxworth and Susan Sullivan, but the plans were scrapped by CBS because (yes there was a time) they didn't want the staple of the Chase-Maggie marriage to be jeapordized. He was completely wasted on Falcon Crest (he was only on for ONE season, btw - not a couple of years).
