Dynasty Discussion Thread

Season 4 and after all these years, Alexis/Joan remains the best thing to happen to this show!  

 

Dex was everything all those years ago.  Today, ugh!  

 

Peter de Vilbis.  What a putrid slimy character and not in a good way.  I read up on the actor and Dynasty was just a check to him as you can clearly see in the acting.  

 

Colby has never been anything but an irritating little twit.  Can't wait for her exit.  

 

Fallon's edge is completely gone.  No wonder PSM left.

Season 2 and season 9 were the only times that character, soap, and OTT had a good balance.

 

The krystle/Alexis brawl in season 2 worked because there was good motivation for the fight.  All the other fights were done for shock without proper build up or motivation.

 

I wish Fallon kept her edge and stayed a gray character....not evil nor goody goody.  Season 1 to 2 and season 9 had the right shading to her character.

Season 4 may be one of the worst. Peter de Vilbis AND Krystle's assistant at Denver Carrington were two of the worst characters in the series' run. The writers no longer knew what to do with poor Mark. Also, Kirby always got on my nerves. I can tolerate her in Season 3 but in Season 4, I just want to smack her in the face every time she speaks.

Awful, awful writing (especially the first clip), but seeing Al Corley again my heart went right out to him, the way it always did. Jack Coleman may have been a better overall actor but he was never believable as Steven. I wonder if he has played any gay characters since. 

 

Whoever cast this Bart must have had an eye on gay porn couples of this era because he and Steven have that type of look, which sort of adds undertones that you sure weren't going to get anywhere else in those scenes...

Gordon Thomson always had an ivy league educated way of speaking. Like David O'Brien on The Doctors. In the interview it seems like he is becoming a recluse, but still speaks/is friends with his Dynasty co-stars. It also seems he has developed a friendship with Al Corley who he didn't get a chance to work with on the show. He mentions him in the interview and there are several photos of them at events together. I have also seen Al & Jack Coleman together in several photos.

Thanks for the clips. The Hotel promo features James Brolin and Mrs. Brolin #2 Jan Smithers. The Fall Guy promo reminds me that Doug Barr and Heather Thomas would have been great on one of the prime time soaps after FG ended.  

 

Shea Farrell from Hotel might have made a good replacement for Al Corley as Steven. Tom Schanley who later appeared in the short term role of Josh on Dynasty could have played Steven as well.

    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
