In the framework of the relativistic Sobolev theory for the transfer of line radiation in spherically symmetric expanding atmospheres, we investigate the effect on P Cygni line profiles of the frequency shape of the underlying continuum (a power law), as well as the influence of an eventual limb darkening of the core. We find that the effects due to limb darkening are small as in the classical limit. On the contrary, the line profiles strongly depend on the power-law index characterizing the continuum shape, even for moderate values of the terminal velocity of the flow. While the absorption part of the line profiles remains essentially unchanged, the emission part may be significantly displaced, enhanced, or lowered up to nearly complete disappearance
