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.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.
