Members DaytimeFan Posted March 11, 2018 Members Share Posted March 11, 2018 First look of Nicollette Sheridan as Alexis...thank goodness Nolan Miller was cremated because he’d be turning in his grave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 11, 2018 Members Share Posted March 11, 2018 LOL!!! I had just saw it a brief article on FB and figured if anyone had the tea it would be you. Well...it does look like her style at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted March 11, 2018 Members Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Nothing against Nicollette Sheridan at all, but she just doesn't seem like the right fit for Alexis. Honestly she just looks like Paige Matheson from emulating Abby Fairgate. Edited March 11, 2018 by ReddFoxx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 Unfortunately for Nicollette, it appears they are playing Alexis for laughs and smirks with camp in spades. None of what the early seasons (2-4) writing of Dynasty did with Alexis and Joan's menacing performance is in this performance, styling, opening line, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taoboi Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 Well, if it helps, it does sound like from an article I read sounds like the manipulative and cunning Alexis will appear. Perhaps this is just a front. But I would agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 After viewing the clip, I can see what you mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 The tone is all wrong. Joan's Alexis' first scenes, outside of the witness stand, were with Fallon and Steven. The Steven scene, in particular, when she basically tells him that she accepts him and talks about his childhood, is a beautiful scene and Joan emits a warmth and charm that makes Alexis' cunning in the following episodes effectively jarring. You see the two faces of Alexis. By having Nicollette's Alexis burst in full diva, it shows that all of the subtlety Joan imbued Alexis with is gone. Josh Schwartz is capable of writing a subtle character: Julie Cooper of The OC had these qualities. But it makes me wonder if it's really about whose playing the part. Melinda Clarke succeeded like Joan succeeded and Joan succeeded because Joan did her own thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 25, 2018 Members Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I watched her entrance in last night's episode. And then this promo. Nope. Alexis only in name. Nicollette has said in interviews promoting her debut that, although she's known Joan for years, she's never seen her performance as Alexis. It shows. And I wouldn't want to have to live up to it either. Edited March 25, 2018 by DaytimeFan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 25, 2018 Members Share Posted March 25, 2018 To answer my own question, it was Tom which is too bad because Bill Smitrovich was the strongest actor on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 25, 2018 Members Share Posted March 25, 2018 lol. I knew you would have thoughts. I actually have been watching old Alexis myself today...long story...and I see they are playing the house story again. giggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
