Yeah. I'm surprised there's no Claudia, unless she's a recurring or guest character. I don't really mind the twist on Sammy Jo, and I also don't really mind making Krystle into Cristal and a Latina, but the show just looks ... crappy. It could be trashy fun. I'm going to watch it, but it just looks glossy with no substance. I don't mind a new take on the show at all but meh to this. Maybe I'll be surprised but I doubt it. When does this start?

Just finished watching the pilot... not horrible, but not good either.

 

I do like that Claudia looks more like a hot mess then the more subdued/elegant version of season 1/2 of Claudia in the original version.

 

I wish that each scene was longer then a minute each,but I do like the mentions of Alexis.. plus Fallon vs Blake in business (story ideas from the 1st season of the original show).  Cristal seems more like a bitch then a good guy.. so I'm curious to see what Alexis will be like when she does show up.

Blake and Fallon were arguing and he had mentioned that her mother no longer had a say since she choose to leave years before....and then Cristal asked Steven about Alexis since no one would mention her..and before he could answer..they got interrupted.

 

There are a lot of characters inteoduced..so it's smart to hold off on Alexis being introduced till later in the season...imho

The casting is horrible. Grant Show is all wrong as Blake. New Steven looks gross and slimy. Blake sends a returned Steven on  a business meeting even though he doesn't work for the company. The client he meets looks older than Blake and makes a pass on Steven. Steven upset calls Blake on it. Later Steven whores it up with a complete stranger who steals some of his money. Later, he finds out that he slept with Sammy Jo.....Sam, Cristal's nephew.....Sam apologizes to Steven for stealing his money but Steven didn't even realized he was robbed.

 

This reboot feels like a parody of the original. And people complained about the Dallas reboot. This one takes the cake!

I watched last night and was only semi-impressed. I think the show's biggest problem is that it was touted as a reboot. They should have just started a new show with new character names and let the comparisons go from there instead of trying to say that they ARE Dynasty. 

It definitely had the style, direction, and feel of Gossip Girl, which I suppose is what was intended considering it has the same show runners.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
