Angela Channing (nee Gioberti; formerly Erickson, Stavros and Agretti) is a fictional character on the American primetime drama, ''Falcon Crest''. The role was originated by Jane Wyman in 1981. For the first eight seasons, Wyman appeared in almost every episode of the series, for a total of 208 of the 227, missing 19 episodes (mostly in the final season) due to health problems and because of the show was taken in a new direction. Angela is the steely, domineering owner of the Falcon Crest wineries. Much of the show over the 9 seasons it aired focused on Angela's scheming (usually successfully) to advance the fortunes of her family company, and to keep sole control over it from competitors and other family members who gain percentages of the winery. ==Background== Angela Gioberti was born to Jasper Gioberti and Lily Travers in Tuscany Valley, California. It was Angela's early ambition that convinced her father to dedicate his life to his business only. When she was only 16, she met Peter Stavros during a stay in Spain. Angela marries Douglas Channing, the publisher of ''The San Francisco Globe'', a daily newspaper. They had three children: Richard (who was thought to have died after birth), Julia and Emma. They later divorced. A thorn in her side, was Jacqueline Perrault, the French wife of her brother Jason, who later left Tuscany Valley with her son, Chase, because of Angela's treacherous reign over Falcon Crest. After their father's death, Falcon Crest was passed down to Angela and her brother, Jason, who have to share the estate 50:50. Angela, who lived at the Gioberti Estate, ran the business; Jason, who became an alcoholic after his divorce, was no longer interested in business affairs and made a bare living in the Gioberti House, which he totally neglected. When Julia became pregnant after an affair with the married Dominic Rossini, Angela sent the baby to a distant monastery and lied, telling Julia that her baby died. Angela disliked Tony Cumson, Julia's husband, and because of her intrigues, she drove him out of Tuscany Valley, and he without leaving a word of goodbye to Julia and their son, Lance. During Tony's absence and Lance's adolescence, Angela took Lance under her way and groomed to be "her heir to Falcon Crest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angela Channing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
