Members All My Shadows Posted October 8, 2017 Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 I didn't realize how male this show is until I saw that promo shot up there. Part of that is down to them changing Sammy Jo into a man, but I'm gonna need them to add more ladies because Cristal vs. Fallon wasn't enough in 1981, and it won't be enough now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 8, 2017 Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 They definitely need Claudia on the show, that's for sure. Like her or hate her, she was an important element to the original show.. the outsider..moreso then Krystle ever was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yeah. I'm surprised there's no Claudia, unless she's a recurring or guest character. I don't really mind the twist on Sammy Jo, and I also don't really mind making Krystle into Cristal and a Latina, but the show just looks ... crappy. It could be trashy fun. I'm going to watch it, but it just looks glossy with no substance. I don't mind a new take on the show at all but meh to this. Maybe I'll be surprised but I doubt it. When does this start? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just finished watching the pilot... not horrible, but not good either. I do like that Claudia looks more like a hot mess then the more subdued/elegant version of season 1/2 of Claudia in the original version. I wish that each scene was longer then a minute each,but I do like the mentions of Alexis.. plus Fallon vs Blake in business (story ideas from the 1st season of the original show). Cristal seems more like a bitch then a good guy.. so I'm curious to see what Alexis will be like when she does show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sigh. No Joan, no Dynasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 What tidbits did they do for her? I'm curious. Understood. I jusr know you would have a lot to say on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 Blake and Fallon were arguing and he had mentioned that her mother no longer had a say since she choose to leave years before....and then Cristal asked Steven about Alexis since no one would mention her..and before he could answer..they got interrupted. There are a lot of characters inteoduced..so it's smart to hold off on Alexis being introduced till later in the season...imho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 Nice. Though I agree with DaytimeFan. I don't see anyone being able to EVER be Alexis. Though I do like that it sounds like she throws quite a shadow already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 The casting is horrible. Grant Show is all wrong as Blake. New Steven looks gross and slimy. Blake sends a returned Steven on a business meeting even though he doesn't work for the company. The client he meets looks older than Blake and makes a pass on Steven. Steven upset calls Blake on it. Later Steven whores it up with a complete stranger who steals some of his money. Later, he finds out that he slept with Sammy Jo.....Sam, Cristal's nephew.....Sam apologizes to Steven for stealing his money but Steven didn't even realized he was robbed. This reboot feels like a parody of the original. And people complained about the Dallas reboot. This one takes the cake! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 I watched last night and was only semi-impressed. I think the show's biggest problem is that it was touted as a reboot. They should have just started a new show with new character names and let the comparisons go from there instead of trying to say that they ARE Dynasty. It definitely had the style, direction, and feel of Gossip Girl, which I suppose is what was intended considering it has the same show runners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
