Loved Kate O'Mara in so many things. They didn't seem to know what to do with her on Dynasty. Cassie (Caress really is a ridiculous name and I refuse to use it - ha!) never really did anything on Dynasty. The producers & ABC just wanted to cash in on how well the show was doing overseas/thought it'd be a great idea to give Joan Collins a sister. I always enjoyed seeing her when she would appear but she rarely progressed a storyline. It was just Alexis trying to stop Cassie from publishing her tell-all book. I found it all to be a bit of a snooze fest. But she looked great!

I hope she can get help. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I can tell you, it is no joke. The tricks that your mind plays on you are awful. At least we are finally beginning to dip our toes into the water of discussing mental illness in this country. Current stats are that 20% of Americans suffer from it. May we all find the help we need.

After being released on bail, here's what happened:

She clearly needs long-term care...as an inpatient. I'm guessing her 20-year-old daughter, as next of kin, would decide whether or not to commit her. So sad.

She's being held at UCLA Medical Centre on a 5250 hold, meaning it's an involuntary hold that can last 14 days. Hopefully Richie Sambora and her daughter are getting a lawyer into court to get them appointed her conservator, like Britney Spears' parents did, so that she can be committed indefinitely.

 

She needs to be in rehab out of state, that boyfriend of hers needs to be turfed, and that Thousand Oaks house needs to be emptied and sold. She has owned it since her marriage to Tommy Lee - way too many memories in that place. She's long owned a low rise condo in Beverly Hills that could be a bolthole, but she probably needs the safety of a gated community or one of the full service buildings on Wilshire Boulevard for security. 

 

Bottom line is she need serious help and immediate action.

@SFK @Vee @DaytimeFan @YRBB @Khan I thought some of you might like this. I won't post every video to save space but you can find them on the uploader's channel. It's hosted by the late, great Kate O'Mara and has a number of Dynasty ladies interviewed or listed. A number of Dynasty cast are also interviewed.

 

(I should warn the first video has a naked photo of Stephanie Beacham)

    • 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.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
