When this new season began, ''Falcon Crest'' had started with the regular practice a recap to remind the viewers of the previous episode's recollections, before a short sneak preview of the new episode, prior to the main title. Midway throughout the season, Jane Wyman had been absent for only 2 episodes, due to her abdominal surgery.Season 6 (1986–87)
This was Robert Foxworth's final year, during which he also directed some episodes. Midway throughout the season, Michael Reagan, Jane Wyman's real-life son, had a recurring role as the concierge in a hotel.Season 7 (1987–88)
Due to the largest number of rotating guests on ''Falcon Crest'', and of budget constraints, five main characters (Brett Cullen, Margaret Ladd, John Callahan, Dana Sparks and Chao-Li Chi) didn't appear in several episodes of this season.Season 8 (1988–89)
The show focused heavily on the new cast members (Kristian Alfonso, David Beecroft, Brandon Douglas, Cástulo Guerra and Danny Nucci). Two of the former cast members (Robert Foxworth and Abby Dalton) did not return. Ana Alicia played two different characters and Jane Wyman's poor health resulted in the show's episodes being reduced from 28 to 22.Season 9 (1989–90)
This is the final season of ''Falcon Crest'' and the only season in which Jane Wyman does not appear in nearly every episode, due to her ongoing health problems. The show went into a different direction by adding 2 new cast members (Gregory Harrison and Wendy Phillips), who replaced Susan Sullivan. Against her doctors' orders, Jane Wyman appeared for the show's final 3 episodes.Ratings
