Amanda tells her story and asks about who her father is.

Alexis’ getup is literally Mongolian Yetti. Hilarious as always. She must have been baking in that costume. The Amanda plot line was as soapy as it gets. Oxenberg couldn’t really act but she was very articulate and stunningly beautiful. The script with her character became ludicrous and bizarre.

Interesting how Alexis says she didn't have the means back then to raise a child and yet she had the money to pay her cousins to "run her household".

Yes she was bad in Dynasty. But in her defense, Catherine Oxenberg was given such horrible dialogues and her character was just a whiny brat who kept making the worst mistakes. Amanda was unbearable and had no sense of humor or second degree as opposed to other female characters like Alexis, Fallon 1 or Sammy Jo. She didn’t have Krystle’s or Claudia’s vulnerability. She was a privileged little rich girl who had everything to be happy and who was never satisfied. So I don’t think any actress could have made Amanda really more interesting. She was meant to be played like a pouty girl who takes herself too seriously. And it’s hard to play when you have such lines.

If the writers wanted Amanda to be the child of both Alexis and Blake, the easiest thing to say would be that they had conceived Amanda shortly before Blake found Alexis in bed with Roger Grimes. That way Alexis could say that after she left Denver, she realized a month or so later that she was pregnant, but wasn't certain who the father was (either Blake or Roger). Either way, she worried if Blake found out about the new baby, he'd take her away from Alexis (possibly even regardless if it was his child or not). That would justify Alexis hiding Amanda all these years, and why she would insist that Blake wasn't Amanda's father: Alexis was madly in love with Roger Grimes, so she probably nursed the fantasy that Amanda was their love-child. But a simple blood test proves that Amanda truly is a Carrington. And there'd be no, "It was a ski instructor!" "There was no ski instructor!" "There were SEVERAL ski instructors!" "I'll bet!"
