[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 162287, member: 68"] Well I think that events that transpired did have consequences. Alexis and Krystle's feud wasn't born solely out of the two women not getting on. Alexis fired a shot that killed Krystle's unborn child. And then those women could never be on amicable terms. You could also say that Blake started out in season 1 as a cold bastard, still angry and wounded from the brake up of his marriage to Alexis, and slowly grew into a benevolent and loving father and husband during his marriage to Krystle. Lazy writing and ideas from Forsythe and Evans about their characters likely facilitated this more than a well thought out story arc, but at the end of the day that's the direction the story took. When Blake killed Ted Dinard it created a whole arc with Steven and Blake and thinly veiled animosity. It was only when Steven returned with a new face in season 3 that he and Blake began to rebuild a relationship. Sammy Jo changed very much right after the Rita storyline. She finally saw the error of her ways and became the angelic Krystle-lite niece and not a scheming vixen. Although the writing for Fallon was mostly a mess after season 3, there is a narrative there if you look for it that suggests she was in the middle of some mental problems for a few years. Including her time as a Stepford wife on The Colbys, and her slow climb back to fabulousness in season 8 of Dynasty resulting in full restoration to an almost Original Recipe Fallon in season 9. In season 8, Alexis decided foolishly to run for Governor against Blake, it was a silly storyline, yes. But it had repercussions, as she left her business affairs to Sean Rowan to manage and he ran Colby Co into the ground, resulting in Alexis not being in the position of power she had been in for years during season 9. Although original Dynasty dropped stories left right and centre and had many a convoluted plot and braindead idea it did actually tell a story, and characters did grow, somewhat. It was stilted, but not dead end. I cant say the same for the new show. Most of the time it feels like a self contained sitcom, with the odd soapy episode. Original Dynasty never felt like that.
