OK ,in addition to lackluster writing, some of The Colby's casting was not up to snuff.

Who could you suggest as Jason,Frankie ,Bliss and any other roles you think were miscast?

Going by the ages of the actors cast in 85

Jason early 60's in 85

I'm thinking Sam Wanamaker (Berrengers) as a possibility.

Frankie 45 Yvette Mimieux? also starred in Berrengers.

Bliss 20 Mary Beth Evans? Chatherine Mary Stewart?

I thought that Suzanne Pleshette should have been cast on a prime time soap during the 80's. Maybe as Frankie or better yet a first ex wife of J.R. on Dallas pre-Sue Ellen.

Jason: Dean Jones, Rod Taylor, William Holden (If he had lived).

Frankie: Lynn Redgrave

Bliss: Amanda Wyss

You can buy it incredibly cheaply at shouttv.com  

Maybe $60-$80? It's worth it to own it in good (not HD) quality AND for the recaps before each episode which the Dynasty sets didn't include. It's one of my prized DVD collections. I know some people don't like to buy art anymore but, if you're interested, Shout TV does great work getting shows that would never see the light of day be remastered and put into a DVD boxset.

I understand many people are doing that; however, that means you have to rely that what you're streaming will always be available. TV shows/films/concerts/documentaries get pulled from streaming services all the time. If there's something you love and want to make sure you can see whenever you want, it's impossible to count on streaming. Especially for older shows from the 60s/70s/80s. Someone had posted The Colbys to YouTube several years ago but it got taken down for copyright reasons.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.
