Wow! It's been forever since I watched this show and I didn't remember Blake being this cruel SOB!  He's absolutely horrible!  

 

Krystle is whiny and pathetic and she was my fav back then (before I knew better, I guess). 

 

Al Corley couldn't act AT ALL!  

 

Seeing Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon again reminds me of one of the most dreadful recasts in the history of recasts!  

 

Jeff Colby/John James   zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Alexis/Joan was still the best thing to happen to this show!

And yet, compared to Jack Coleman, Corley was like Paul Newman.

 

 

You think that's bad?  Try watching Miss Linda on "The Big Valley."  When she IS in an episode, she's usually being abducted and/or held hostage.  Or she's being told to stay home -- "that canyon's no place for a woman!" -- while Heath, Nick, and the other Barkley boy run off to rescue Barbara Stanwyck from HER kidnapper of the week.

That is one of my favorite scenes from Dynasty!  Season 9 was just getting underway. The new writing was clear, funny - the show was coming back from some pretty awful years. You can tell how much fun the cast is having in the first few episodes of the season. I just finished a rewatch of the entire series and Season 9 holds up as one of the series' best, imo. The production value had clearly dropped (Carringtons in JEANS????!!!!!! - that horrible excuse for a police office set) but the writing took a step up in the show's final season.

It's silly that even at that point they felt the need to have a Krystle/Alexis duke out - and this was in season three!

 

I guess at least it was not as bad as the reunion where they fought over a [!@#$%^&*] brooch.

    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
