    Dynasty and Colbys as a merged show

    90 minutes,,,, I would have loved it -but "normal" tv viewers back then I don´t know if they would get used to this long programme ... Instead of 90 minutes: merge "Dynasty" and "The Colbys" into one show BUT do a Fallmonts spinoff (including Caress, Dominique, Zach) airing together with...

    The missing feuds

    - Sammy Jo vs Amanda. Clay would have been THE reason for me to start a fight. After a seson long triangle (durring S7) the hate of both women explodes ... - I think a fan favorit would have been Amanda vs Fallon ... who´s daddý favorite girl? "Didn´t you sleep with our stepfather?" -"Didn´t...

    Christopher Colby

    A rebelish son really sounds like Steven ... beeing an environmentalist and beeing against his father could have been good but only if he would enough screen time and a storyline at all. Maybe they changed him into Bliss after they had the idea to make Jeff Jason´s son ... 3 sons could it have...

    Catfights in "The Colbys"

    I´m maybe in the minority but I would have loved a catfight and did wonder why they didn´t do it!? - After all they copied everything even the opening credit. Sable really had good reasons to fight her evil sister who took Jason away (also Sable worked against her marriage a lot ...). Maybe...

    1984/1985 and 1985/1986 Ratings Battles

    - I read "COSBY" nearly killed "MAGNUM" and Selleck said something like "We were a hit before we had this competition" and he hoped his show will get a new timeslot - which it got (against "DYNASTY").

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    - In some ways you're right. During S2, the Pollocks knew what dynasties do: kill babies who can take part of your inheritance! Sarah Curtis and the Attkinson bunch was a try to get more down to earth characters and storylines after the taste of viewers changed. But it didn´t work for me. More...

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    - like they never addresed that Dominique was black ... -I´m happy they did choose CC: On this German tv show Joan & her 4.th husband drove in the studio with a BMW (later she got 2 as a present from the company) in November 1985 She talks about the casting search on Ben (Minute 10:10) * 35 *...

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    - I had no problem that Ben was younger ...that happens. My sister is 16 younger than me! Did he really had an australian accent? After all the actor was British! God thanks we German viewers hadn´t the american/british/australian accent thing! You´re right compared to Blake Ben was the less...

    Should Adam Carrington have been a one season character

    I´m happy both Adam and Dex stayed until the end of the show. Both had a great chemistry with Joan! Adam (even trying to be a good boy for some moments) always came back to his evil self! He was one of the less damaged characters (for me) in a show that liked to burn down roles. Dex- ok that he...

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    - I have a very different opinion! Ben/Christopher was the best new male role/actor since Adam/Gordon Thomson for me. Yes Amanda was better written during S5 but the shows biggest triangle exploded during S6! And if they only had made Amanda, Sammy Jo and Clay into a triangel. it would have been...

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    - I think Kate and Christopher were also great! But the it´s true after Gordon the overall casting wasn´t that good anymore. -Did Aaron really sas Step in a play? I read she had a casting in London and later was invited to LA ... -I can´t understand Aaron's addiction to Angie! - I think that´s...

    And what are your "TV" plans for 2024?

    - every time I read "Cheers" I get a negative vibe .... that goes back decades when I was a kid and I read in a German tv magazine that one of the reasons that my beloved "Dynasty" was cancelled in the Staates was its new timeslot against "Cheers" (which I have never seen). back to topic...

    The use of so many daytime soap actors who just couldn't cut the mustard in primetime.

    Why not hiring an well known daytime actress which a loyal fan base? At least you know she could work in front of a camera (which doesn´t mean she can act but sometimes she can) but she learned beeing on tv the hard way! Newcommers could turn out to be a great disaster (Karen Cellini) and even...

    Impressions of DYNASTY's seasons and permutations

    - I thnk they did beg PSM to come back but she said "NO" different times! I overall like your thread very much (very much informations; maybe you could make a threat with all the differences between the bibble and what we got to watch?) -Blake trying to kill Alexis after all what she did (lying...

    Main and secondary cast in the closing credits

    Interesting .... my feeling would have said Forsythe had the most clsoing scenes! Esther Shapiro said in an interview (maybe it was the dynasty marathon on soapnet) that John told her he likes to open and end an episode.
