When asked if they planned on going to other composers, the reply was, "The Young and the Restless" might be next.

Oh, please make it be true! And, if it is, that they at least put all those wonderful, classic scores in there... saddening, business, intrigue... all of them!

Beacham was great in CORONATION STREET. One of the best stories they did in 2009. I really do hope she comes back and stays the hell away from EASTENDERS, though.

Well the show was meant to be a contrast between the have nots and the haves (have a TON)--and dealt with issues, etc. It stopped all of that nonsense suddenly with season 2

Actually, I'm not sure I agree with that exactly... yes, on the surface (a brilliant surface at that) it's about the differences, but in the end it was an exploration--if not condemation--of our society and class, be it upper or lower, and how it ruled and took over our lives. It wasn't piting the one against the other per se, but just exploring both and making subtle commentary on it. Of course, for reasons of plot, you gotta pit the one against the other.

I should add to what I said--when I first saw Dynasty it was maybe 6 years ago--someone had the first season online and actually, I really loved it. So count me among those I mentioned being upset or surprised to see so many of the elements dropped. I just thought the common wisdom was seasons 2 and 3, under the Pollocks (who I think then left to do The Colbys?) were the best. (And I've seen season 2 on DVD but not 3 or 4 yet...)

Yes, I guess DYNASTY as we know it was more like Season 2 or 3 (although, you can see some of the elements in Season 3 that overtook after it and destroyed the show). I believe the Bollocks were there until almost the end (THE COLBYS wasn't there until Season 6 of DYNASTY). They only relinquished control during Season 9.... And they were responsible for the brilliance of Season 2 and they UTTER HORRIBLENESS of the rest. :S

But so much of that was dropped with Season 2... it's like a different show lol

LOL I never thought of that as a reason not to like it... I guess because I didn't feel that anything was dropped, just evolved. Walter, Matthew and Lindsay I liked, but it was OK that they were gone. But that's not any more or any less than any other show's exiting characters between seasons. Unless you're talking about something else I haven't thought of?

Season 1 of Dynasty isn't as bad as some say--there's some quality stuff there but it's fairly routine until the Pollocks amped up season 2--and 3 I guess).

How can you say that!!!??? REPENT! Or I shall call the Soap Police. Season 1 is probably the best first season out of all the Big Four. Yes, I believe it even surpases KNOTS LANDING. Season 2 was great, but the brilliance of Season 1... wow... there is this bitter humor and social commentary that Season 1 does.... just fantastic. And greatly plotted, fantastic dialogue, great performances :wub: REPENT!

I've never heard of FRESNO either!!!

Season 3 was one of my favorite seasons. It's a transitional season, and has a number of serialized stories, but yes, there were more self-contained episodes. I guess the most memorable is the haunted house one. Another was about a troubled little girl Valene briefly looks after, and one involved Karen's ex-boyfriend, who believed he was Diana's father. Season 3 also had Karen's brother Joe, who I really liked and was disappointed when he left and was never mentioned again.

My favorite of the self-contained episodes was Silver Shadows, where Abby is dating a man but begins to neglect that relationship because she meets a rich, senile old man who notices her because of her resemblance to his late wife. She begins to basically act as his wife, hoping that when he dies, he will leave his money to her. I'll just say that the "win" is a hollow victory. She also loses her boyfriend to Karen. The last scene is one of my favorite Abby scenes -- she's standing in front of the mirror, every reason to feel angry or defeated, but she puts on the '20s style flapper cap that the old man's wife used to wear, and she smiles, somewhat wistfully.

Word, word, word to everything. Season 3 is just brilliantly dark--even the weather seems bleak, dark, moody, versus the sunshine of previous seasons. "The Three Sisters" is one of the most brilliant hours of TV... just a fabulous episode on all levels. There is just no denying it! And, yes, Silver Shadows is also a wonderful episode. It's such a great study of Abby's character, it's worth it even if you just watch the episode through that prospective. Joe was just great, I really missed him when he left. And the cliffhanger for the season was just wonderfully, wonderfully climactic. Great stuff. But that episode with Cricket, the little girl Val takes under her wing? Boringness! Possibly the worst of that season.

JACKPEYTON what is that avatar???????? Did you make it or was it a publicity shot? That pic is FABULOUS, just amazing and the letters just complete it!!!!!!! :wub: :wub:

I haven't even watched since Season ... 3 I believe? I came back for Season 4 for a little while but then completely gave up on it. Such crap!
