Tyne Daly, wonderful actress, but I could never imagine her on an Aaron Spelling show (with the possible exception of Family). I thought she was already committed to Cagney & Lacey by then, but maybe not. I think the original 1981 movie she had done with Loretta Swit was still considered a backdoor pilot - and when it finally went to series they had to replace Miss Swit because she was still under contract to M*A*S*H.

Still, very interesting.

Thanks for posting those photos of George Peppard with Linda Evans, but I still cannot see him as Blake Carrington at all. He was great at playing blue-collar crimefighters like Banacek and Hannibal from The A-Team, but I don't think he could have done justice to the role of Blake. He just didn't have the debonair charm and sophisticated elegance that John Forsythe had. Plus, NO ONE ELSE could have ever done justice to Charlie Townsend. "Good morning, Angels!!"

Beyond cheese. The perfume makers must have cringed a bit by this point as Dynasty was in freefall mode.

I wish they'd said, "Dearest Krystle, I made you this perfume to apologize for raping you..."

Aaaaah the 80's, such a glamorous time period. Great promos. Seeing Stephen Collins in that Gold Monkey promo was creepy. My Mom got some of that Forever Krystal perfume one year. I thought it smelled kind of strange with a strong alcohol odor.

I always thought Doug Barr from Fall Guy should have been on a prime time soap. After FG he joined the cast of Designing Women as Charlene's husband Bill.

I recently bought season 5 on DVD. Is it just me or was Billy Campbell hilariously bad as Luke Fuller ? He talks through his nose and is just really awkward. You can tell Jack Coleman is so uncomfortable playing Steven.

Season 5 is when the show really fell apart.

DaytimeFan would probably be able to speak more accurately on this but I don't think he looks bad at all. The man is almost 60 years old and he's always had a round, full face which, with age, has become more prominent. Other than the redness, which might be perfectly normal, I think he still looks pretty darn hot.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
