Dynasty didnt even begin until season 2 when Joan collins joined. Thats what saved the show from being canceled. Made it #1 in america. This documentary is missing the main star.

Remember when Wednesdays were deemed "Dynasty Day" back at the height of the show's popularity back in the very early 80's? Much like "Melrose Mondays" over a decade later.

Dynasty would air on a Wednesday night here in the UK in the 1980's. My mum loved the show and watched to see the legendry Joan Collins.My dad would watch to see all the young girls like Heather Lockyear. John Forsythe as Blake was brilliant.My daughter used to watch to see John James as she had a crush on Jeff

Dynasty Was More Realistic Than Dallas When Diahann Carroll Came On The Show,It Added COLOR And FLAVOR. Dominique Deveraux And All Her Men,Brady Lloyd(Billy Dee Williams),Calvin Lockhart And Richard Lawson(Nick Kimball)Gave the Ratings A HUGE Boost And Increased Black Viewership. Even Larry Hagman Said It Was Unrealistic In Texas To Not Have Regular Black Cast Members,At Least They Had The Black Lady Hostess At The Bar/Nightclub That J.R. Would Frequent.

Dominique Devereaux was a dud. She added nothing to show and was unconvincing as Blake's sister. Just a Black Tramp peddling her wares. A big waste of the shows budget that could have been better spent, somewhere else. She was nothing and added nothing.

That final scene was not Joan Collins. In an interview she admitted they just used an extra. Wearing some "old" suit from Nolan Miller's storage. And a weiled hat he created for the scene. Unfortunately the extra wears shoes Alexis wouldn't be seen dead in. She also doesn't walk like feisty Alexis...

Dame Joan Collins and a slew of other British actresses like Stephanie Beacham, Catherine Oxenberg and Emma Samms made Dynasty what it was of its time in the 80’s, a form of escapism, as life in the 80’s in the U.K. and Ireland was so dull and boring for most people - Dame Joan was acutely aware of this and this is perhaps why she made a huge effort to make her character Alexis to shine so brightly, empowering and inspiring both women and gay men alike, even aside from the fact that Alexis had a gay son Stephen and that Alexis was the inspiration for many drag queens down the years with her unique brand of glitz and glamour - I’m very surprised that Dame Joan is not a guest judge on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and I’m sure that she has many gay men as friends who simply adore her ❤

No disrespect but, Emma Samms brought nothing to the role as the new Fallon. Pamela Sue Martin WAS great as Fallon and I remember being sad when she left the show. Emma Samms is a great actress! However, casting her as Pamela's Sue replacement was a BAD choice. I believe Tracy Scroggins would've been perfect as Fallon #2. In addition, she had better chemistry with John James then Samms did. Spelling should've gave Samms the role of Monica Colby. She's British much like Beacham, Collins and Maxwell Claudfield. Emma and Maxwell would've been perfect as the Colby "twins". In addition, when Fallon re-emerge in season 5...the American daughter all of a sudden had a "British " accent? 😅 Yes, the producers did the opposite when they cast Karen Cellini as the new Amanda! However, that didn't work because Amanda's accent and bitchyness drew in the fans and made that character popular. When Emma took on the role, it was like watching Fallon turn into...Snow White. It just didn't work ! That's why so many Dynasty fans never accepted her as Fallon. One of the things I noticed in the 2017 CW reboot was that, the actress that was cast as Fallon VERY MUCH played the role similar to what Pamela Sue Martin. Fallon was over the top and fans loved that about her.

@@gregoryjones9546 it's not about looking like Joan Collins or John Forsythe! It's about the portrayal of the character. There are a number of fans, whom felt the same way about second Fallon's portrayal. Overall, it was a bad recast! The reason why Elizabeth Giles was so great in the 2017 reboot because, she captured the essence of the character. Fallon is a no-nonsense, nice/nicety individual. Who got a kick out of people in their place. Emma Samms said out of her mouth that she wasn't going to watch old clips of Pamela Sue. However, she was caught off guard when writer David Paulsen wanted to replace her in Season 9 and bring back Pamela Sue Martin. This is why she STEPPED UP her game in Season9.

I am rewatching the series now. I bought the 9 seasons on digital. I am halfway through season 4 right now. When I watched as a kid, I never noticed how horrible Blake was. He is the villain of the story. He SA'd Krystal in season 1. He sued Steven for custody of his son because he is gay. He banished Alexis for 16 years. He treats his family like garbage especially Krystal and Steven. He had done one horrible thing after the other. I thought Alexis was the villain growing up but she just reacts to Blake's bad behavior of her and her children.

These two "show creators" killed the show after season 6 and replacing Catherine Oxenberg and killing off Claudia etc. It was instant Karma. You smugly replace the actress whose character wedding storyline gave you your number 1 season? They didn't want to pay the actors their worth and it killed the show. Al Corley was fine but he abandoned Steven and the second Steven by Jack Coleman was the best and even more handsome imo. Good show overall but would have been better if they had paid Catherine Oxenberg and kept Pamela Bellwood. Also should never have done The Colby's. Jeff was hot AF and they take him off Dynasty and ruin the show that way too. Just one stupid decision after another. Idiot showrunners. Season 1-6 are magic and season 9 was great too but then it was too late
