The worst episode of the entire series?

[Richard Denault]

I remember watching 'Time Bomb' from season 9 when it aired and thinking how awful it was. It's the one where Lauren's husband straps some dynamite to himself and then blow's himself up. Dreadful rubbish.

The ninth was very bad
for me the worst was episode 14 Brotherly love.
Summary provided by Lorimar
[...]. When Richard learns through Pilar that Genele was responsible for delivering his business secrets from ella to Sharpe, he throws Genele out from her and attempts to reconcile with Lauren.
Realizing that her brother's affection for her is more than just brotherly, Lauren decides she has to leave Sharpe's house.
At the beginning of the episode Michael tells Lauren that when they were teenagers he wished they weren't siblings
OMG Michael is a degenerate and also dumb and with Lauren so unattractive

With no doubt, the worst to me was "Four Women" from the last season, with Genele eating dog food, and all the ladies having a nervous breakdown. Just indescribable...

- Oh yes that was really dumb! Like most of the scenes that involved Lauren and Walker ...

- "Stormy Weather" is one of the best episodes ... it only would have been better with Terry, Gustav Riebman and Jaqueline beeing part of it.
I wish "Dynasty" had done something like this ... a snow storm and the whole cast (even Alexis & Ben) had to spent some days in the mansion ...
with lots of humor, a catfight and some bitchy lines.

Stormy Weather', from season 7: For some people this was too much wink in the camera. However this episode saw all of the cast together trapped, in the mansion.

I hate that episode too. The search for the murderer seems silly to me.
Due to lack of budget, it was decided to put all the characters in one set.
There were problems with the water machines and most of the actors protested the delays in filming.

The one where Maggie gets her ring locked in the drain in the pool, and her character drowns because she can't get out-- I think I saw that one once on YouTube, and I can't unsee it no matter how hard I try (whenever I write or even read those words, it brings back the memory).

It is the first episode of the ninth season: Price of freedom
It's horrible what they did with Maggie

"Stormy Weather" divides people. For me, it wasn't so much a wink as a wink and an armpit fart.

Much too amused with itself.

I´d go for "Dark Journey", aka "The one with Vickie doing porn in San Francisco (almost)". It´s unbelievably bad, cringe-worthy bad. And so 70´s...

I remember watching 'Time Bomb' from season 9 when it aired and thinking how awful it was.

That's one of my favourite soapy hostage episodes.
What makes it so horrifying is that he changes his mind and then fails to un-strap it. It could have been a scene from TYRANT.

That's one film I'm certain I never want to see-- I know that one shouldn't base movie viewing decisions on reviews, but I've read reviews of this one, and it sounds decidedly unpleasant.

Cine Tele Revue magazine visited the set when the episode was being filmed.
Everyone was in a bad mood. Everyone knew it was a disaster.
It lost 500,000 episodes. This episode went from 10.9 million to 10.4
