I truly hope her children appreciate all the junk she had to do to keep a roof over their heads.

Yup...I think this was worse than Pam's accident...

Heather Locklear & Lorenzo Lamas Are Dating: Check Out Fi...

No, it's not 1992 ... but Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas are in the throes of a '90s reunion that's turned romantic, dating secretly for months, and TMZ has pics of them all loved up in Las Vegas.

LOL...I didnt realize how many times someone fell or was pushed down them stairs

If only the actual show had been that exciting!

To me, the fact that more of the cast apparently were on her side rather than his speaks volumes.

It does speak volumes. Those who supported Joan knew that John was being bitter about the fact she made the show a hit. And I'm sure the women all quietly knew if Joan had been a man, that it would never have been an issue...

I guess Pamela Bellwood DGAF at that point. But where did Jack Coleman and Ted McGinley stand?

Jack Coleman was and forever is team Joan. He and his wife still see her. From everything I've gathered, Joan was very welcoming to new cast members because she had not received the same treatment.

I always like this clip from Ali MacGraw talking about how nice Joan was to her and how John didn't like their storyline:

I doubt Joan was ever jealous of Linda. After all, she (Joan) was the one who bagged Warren Beatty for a time. She knew she had the goods, lol.

Joan is not a jealous type. She has way too many friends, both female and male, rich and less rich, to be jealous of anyone. Joan knew Linda before Dynasty and was, I think, very disappointed that Linda sided with John and basically blanked her, and just gave up on bothering with her.

I was surprised to find out Joan Collins didn't have beef with Diahann Carroll. You'd think Joan Collins being the diva of all divas of 1980s primetime soaps would be jealous of an actress brought on to be her rival but from what I've seen online, Joan and Diahann got along and became friends and remained so until Diahann passed away and Joan posted a memoriam to Diahann on social media.

Joan and Diahann were great friends and neighbours in Sierra Towers in LA for many years. I think they just 'got' each other and liked each other and had fun together. They knew they were dynamite together on the show. A rising tide lifts all boats, after all.

I've been seeing some of the show on Pluto TV and the soft focus used on Joan and Linda in season 8 is wild. No one else is shot in closeup with it so in one scene you go from sharp camera work to gauze and back again.

I agree. Plus, as I think I've mentioned before, Joan and Diahann appeal to two different demographic groups, with gay men possibly being the only overlap.

As strong as I thought S1 was, even I know DYNASTY needed that extra something that only someone like Joan Collins could've provided. To me, it's kind of like when Donna Mills (and later, William Devane) join KL: they took an already solid show and just made it better.

LOL! Elvira joining the cast as another one of Blake's long-lost wives would've been a hoot!

Did anyone like CW Dynasty? I thought it was designed for the Google generation to binge watch.

Me, too. To me, CW series was a lot like what the original series became - light on character development and meticulously planned stories, heavy on rich folks staying trailer park messy - just updated for millennials and Gen Y'ers who weren't alive or old enough for the first series.

IIRC, it was one of the CW shows that survived because it did well on Netflix. Once that deal wound down the shows did too.

I liked it. It was a good take on the series, despite being on the CW and how comical the recasting became.
