Dynasty Discussion Thread

Yes. To get back to Jack Coleman, his opening title scene of him yanking off his tie always cracks me up. He really does look like he is angry - at the tie, at the writers, the producers, etc. LOL

[SoapDope]

LOL......Yes. He was pissed because the audience might think he was exactly like Steven in real life.

[DaytimeFan]

Absolutely. And it's because of her class and professionalism that Heather's personal problems of the last couple of years have been overlooked by casting directors and why executives and creatives have been welcoming to her - especially as a 53 year old actress, a horrible age in the industry for anyone. I think Heather has several great roles left in her career. She looks terrific these days. I just hope she's found some happiness and peace.

[amybrickwallace]

So do I. If you've ever seen her out of character in Battle of the Network Stars (some of which is up on YT, some of which I've seen on ESPN Classics) or in a Family Feud episode, Heather Locklear seemed very happy, enthusiastic and energetic. It's a shame she isn't on one of the cable dramas or even on a network sitcom. She showed she had comedy chops on Spin City. Someone get this woman a show!!

I always loved Gordon Thomson's shot, where it looked like he lying down with the champagne in the a bucket of finely crushed ice.

My favorite was Pamela Sue Martin and the strawberry from the 1st season. I didn't care for the action shots in last few seasons.

I think the ones for John Forsythe, Linda Evans and Joan Collins were perfect: Blake sitting behind his desk in his office, Krystle coming down the stairs in a beautiful gown and Alexis lounging in a bubble bath. Some of the others, like the aforementioned bow tie and light switch, were just unintentionally hilarious.

[SoapDope]

LOL.....I know. Dynasty just screams 80's camp. Boy do I miss those days.

I don't think we will see a return to that glamour,preppy style. People have devolved and aspire to look like Duck Dynasty, than Dynasty.

[Gray Bunny]

Agreed. I need this woman back on television, preferably a soapy show. Is she still on the show with Mark-Paul Gosselaar? I'm not into that kind of show but I liked her character, the couple episodes I saw.

Gray Bunny, the show is Franklin & Bash - on TNT. She's not on it anymore.

SoapDope - I don't think we'll ever again see the opulence that was the 80s. Kind of sad, isn't it?

[SoapDope]

It is sad that we will never see it again. The 80's was the last great decade in my opinion.

[amybrickwallace]

I agree!! The 80s were a great time to be a kid.

[SoapDope]

Yes they were.

[amybrickwallace]

I mean, who doesn't miss the shoulder pads big enough to fit on an NFL player and all the sequins, glitter, and (GASP) real furs?

[SoapDope]

LOL......This day and time PETA would go nuts if they saw fur on TV.
