Claudia actually did try to escape the La Mirage fire on Dynasty albeit off-screen.  It took something like 11 or 12 episodes of season 7 for Blake to be exonerated of starting the fire but eventually Jackie recounted To Krystle how she saw Claudia open the door of her room and then the flames shot out from behind her.  That's how they were able to determine that Claudia started the fire.  I hated that plot device because of a) how badly the show treated Pamela Bellwood who had just given birth and b) for killing Claudia in such a grisly manner especially considering the fact that she was an original cast member.

it's quite alright, thanks for the second scene, glad you like the topic, i have two more in store as soon this one gets "cold" 

The Real Thing happened on the Season 7 Premiere

 

Some People say Claudia just gave up, Because she didn't have anything to live for, made sense to me until hearing Jackie's testimony saying she tried to escape but got trapped what actually made me sad

Would like to see the other one you mentioned too, thanks for this Clip, i knew there were other fires in Bay City Including the Love Mansion Getting Burned Down a few times in the 1980's but when i searched i couldn't find any so i went with the one i always remembered

Anna Rossini is the reason i decided to do this one, Also There's The Fire That Killed Melissa Aggretti

 

YES! Just wish Melissa didn't die, her leaving was one of the shows biggest losses

 

She would've been better off being Killed on the Moldavian Massacre

You'd think a five-star resort like La Mirage would have a state-of-the-art sprinkler system -- or at the very least, curtains that weren't so damn flammable, lol.

The very first time I saw Blake attempt to strangle Alexis, I seriously believed he was going to suffer a heart attack or stroke and collapse on the stairs.  "Whatever happens," I thought, "they're not actually gonna have him literally try to kill her.  Because there's no way that's not gonna look foolish."  I was so wrong.

I love the way Angela says, "Julia, get up!".  It's like Angie isn't so much frightened for Julia (and herself) as she is annoyed with her for passing out.

This, IMO, was DYNASTY's finest hour.  It's the one time where everything - the writing, the acting, the music, the special effects - clicked.

According to the AWHP 1988 synopsis The Love mansion burned down in February and I guess Donna miscarried soon after. Also at that time they talked about Reginald's having starting a fire to cover up his murder of Elizabeth years ago and also pass it off as a suicide?

Little Kevin Thatcher was in two separate fires in 1984. David Thatcher started a fire in his house for the insurance money and had to save Kevin. And then at Christmas the tree in the Matthews house caught fire and Mark Singleton had to regain the ability to walk in order to rescue Kevin from that fire.

Remember how Kristin Davis' character on MELROSE PLACE died?  She was drunk, whining about how everyone had abandoned her and nobody loved her (which was true, I guess, although she really brought it on herself), when she accidentally slipped, hit her head on the side of the notorious pool and drowned.

If you were an actress, and you were on an Aaron Spelling series BITD, and your character was slated to die, the chances were good that your character was not going to die with some dignity, lol.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.
