1989, in Paris -- such terrible jokes... and wigs

Looks great. As Joan says the casting was classic, "It's Snow White vs the Evil Queen"! or Glinda the good witch versus the wicked witch.

Lovely, I've watched it with a big smile on my face. She may not be the greatest actress of all times but she is a natural entertainer.
Interesting comment regarding American vs. British talent but I guess it has to be taken in the context of that time. Hollywood was the top.
However, when I watch British TV productions I'm often very impressed by the input of the guest actors - no matter how big or small their part is, they play it as if it is the most important role in their careers and I don't always get that feeling from their American counterparts. I guess it also depends on the scripts and production.

Joan got a least one fan from the cast :

I guess Tracy is referring to the "Titans" episode with the Cheeseburger Incident. Though since Alexis was off in Moldavia dressed as a nun when The Colbys came to Denver for the big party, its hard to see Joan hanging around the set unless it was curiosity to see what The Colbys were up to and how they were dressed.

Maybe Tracy is talking about something that happened during season 9. I can't imagine Joan hanging around the set during the Titans episode but who knows. Maybe she wanted to check out the real competition in Stephanie Beacham.

It sounds more like a Titans incident. I can't imagine a second AD saying that to Tracy in Season 9 with two seasons of The Colbys under her belt. I would have gone straight to David Paulsen to get that b***ch fired!

Terri Garber said one of the reasons she left Dynasty was that the OG cast members were given special treatment but the younger stars were not, which is one of the reasons she decided to leave. Maybe she didn't get her cheeseburger.

Terri also said that Joan was very passive-aggressive, and there were good days and bad days on the set. Tracy obviously caught Joan on a good day. Must have been the 'Titans' as re-watching it, she says she was referred to as 'new kids on the block', which she obviously wasn't in Dynasty Season 9 as Paulsen invited her to join her screen Mom.
