I would like more bloody injuries -- just some goddess-damned injuries!!
Some of the characters could suffer and nurture their physical and psychiatric scars throughout Season 6. Mostly in the background, 'cause that crap's depressing.

At the time of the massacre I seem to remember a certain tabloid stating emphatically that “only two of your Dynasty favorites will live.” So all summer my house was full of speculation. The consensus was it couldn’t be Alexis dying for obvious reasons, and it couldn’t be Blake either because you can’t kill off the male lead, so all fingers seemed to point to Krystle as the odd one out. Of course it was all nonsense, not to mention you couldn’t really build a show around two people if that was all that survived. I guess we were much more gullible back then.

Poor Krystle. First she’s involved in a wedding massacre in a far away country where out of nowhere guys in camo are crashing in the church windows spraying bullets everywhere
Right after that trauma she gets kidnapped and for months gets threatened that her baby will be killed if she tried to escape.she later finds out that an imposter stole her life.
Aside from throwing her clothes on the floor in a fit neither event really bothered her or left any emotional scars at all
Great writing, character development and acting right there.
I vote for all of the above
The series should have ended there . There was no way anyone could have survived that many rounds of bullets and they were all dead in the end of the scene. The show lost all credibility in that season premiere .That Fall the reruns started to air of the great early seasons. We got back OG Steven and Fallon so how could anyone continue to watch what they were delivering

- I think when you live in this world you want to be become a rich member too (like Krystle) and what did Leslie say in her last episode: "Why should I be a poor Carrington?"
- a great idea ... Sammy Jo, Rita and Joel sitting in front of the tv and not knowing who survived and if their plan will work ...
also Jason and Sable could have watched tv and Conny is near tears thinking Jeff died. After this days she gives her Colby shares to him.
And Jason could have been the one who manages to get the Carringtons out of the country and that´s the only reason why Blake makes the pipeline deal with him!

I'm glad to see that my opinions seem to match with the majority of the votes here... I'd have gotten rid of Prince Michael and King Galen, too. Mostly because I disliked both characters but also because I felt they had overstayed their welcome and this would have been a great way to end the rather "meh" plots with Michael and Amanda and Alexis and King Galen. (Is anyone else always wondering why "Moldavia" looks suspiciously like Germany and/or Austria and what people from the real Moldavia thought about that name being used for this rather ridiculous soap opera country... I mean didn't this step on some serious political toes???)
I'd also have killed off Claudia. At this point her character is just... idk. She goes from Steven to Adam and then falls off the deep end. They really could have stopped this whole nonsense right there. Oh and I'd have let Luke live because can we just NOT with the "bury your gays" trope for Steven all over AGAIN.
Oh and I love the idea of Krystle actually being Rita and then getting killed and everyone thinks Krystle is dead while she's actually at Delta Rho and never went to Moldavia in the first place! Brilliant! THIS should have been the plot.
But yeah realistically it should have been everyone who died, what with all those bullets flying around.

I do like the idea of Rita being killed in Moldavia, when the audience is not yet aware of the Krystle-Rita switch yet. Maybe we could find Krystle was switched during the kidnapping attempt on Amanda in Denver.
Stevenbot could be killed with Luke, only Stevenbot turns out to be Ben Reynolds after all, and Al Corley returns to the role.
I don't want Dominique killed. As that's all racist and stuff. I actually liked Prince Michael (although they had no idea what to do with him -- but we'd fix that) and I'd keep him around, romantically abusing Sammy Jo, forcing her into an abortion on Alexis' orders, until Sammy Jo kills him "accidentally" by pushing him against a lion cage where his face is ripped off by a huge pussy cat (metaphor??) at Ye Olde Anglish Faaaaiyre early in Season 8. I want King Galen re-cast, stick around just long enough for he and Alexis to take the throne for two or three episodes mid-Season 6 before they are reverse-reverse-coup'd, and sent packing back to the States where the king is merged with the Zach Powers character (Ricardo Montalban is just fine) and shipped off to the THE COLBYS spin-off.
And I'd make the HowNowBrownCow Duchess a regular in Season 6. Maybe she could later spin off to THE COLBYS, too.
Nicole Simpson stalks Jeff to Moldavia and killed in the massacre before O.J. can stab her to death, the poor doomed girl.
In America we don't know the difference. We just bomb indiscriminately.
Wasn't the "real" Moldavia actually Moldova? Is it supposed to be the same place?? I'm just grateful it didn't look too much like Los Angeles.

From what I remember, the real Moldova did go by Moldavia for a short while in the 1990s but then stopped doing so. But there was also a historical state named Moldavia in the past that involved a few states that are now their own countries. It's... complicated. Which is why I would have thought the writers would have made an effort to steer clear of this sort of thing due to stepping on political toes of not just one country but several. But then a friend of mine who also loves Dynasty suggested the writers probably didn't even KNOW that an actual state/region named Moldavia had ever existed and just thought the name sounded cool... which is absolutely a possibility I guess. *cringe* lolI do like the idea of Rita being killed in Moldavia, when the audience is not yet aware of the Krystle-Rita switch yet. Maybe we could find Krystle was switched during the kidnapping attempt on Amanda in Denver.

And ooooh I would have loved it if Al Corley had returned as Steven. They wouldn't even have had to kill him in the massacre, just mention that his face got messed up AGAIN and they only had an old pic of Steven to go by and that's why he looks like Al Corley again, lol.

The original name for Moldavia was Tellenos. It was supposed to be a principality like Monaco.

- Why should be using the name Moldavia be a "crime"? Just look what the USA stands for in 80´s tv land: homophobic, money and power hungry men who like to rape their women. This women like to use alcohol, drugs, shoulderpads, aliens and toyboys...
-The aftermath needed much more dead and really hurted people. So I would have done a 2 part cliffhanger which brings back a lot of former characters and introduces the Colbys. Every former chcaracter of the show has a reason for revenge and it looks like one or the other plans to kill Blake and Alexis but before it takes place the massacre stars. So everybody who wasn´t very necessary should have died filling the places with the best people of the spinoff instead of making a second Dynasty.
so kill Galen (but I want the coronation scene), Elena, Yuri, Jackie, Garrett, Francesca (just minutes she made peace with Jeff), Constance, Claudia, Daniel Reece (a double, not showing his face), Nicole Simpson, Tracy Kendall, Lindsay Blaisdel.
prince Michael is needed to make Sammy Jo his princess
- I would have rescued Luke but the actor wanted out ...so there would have been another face surgery needed.

The original intention by Spelling Television was to have Marcia Cross's Kimberley blowing up Melrose Place in the cliffhanger.
But the real life Oklahoma City bombing committed by Timothy McVeigh happened, so as a mark of respect to the victims (and because the cliffhanger was going to air so soon after the Oklahoma bombing) it was rewritten to have Kimberley about to blow up Melrose Place.
Hence why the actual explosion took place in the season return.

I remember that too! 'Only two characters certain to survive'. And those two were Fallon and Sammy Jo, because they didn't attend the wedding.

Voted for the king, the prince, the titled lady, and Steven. So mostly minor ones, except for Steven, who had no really big story after this point. I think that Claudia could have been left in as her pregnancy could be written in as being a mystery as to who was the father: the late Steven or someone else.

Michael Nader said after the show finished - part of the cliffhanger was a cat and mouse game with the press . What characters lived or died , whose stars contracts were coming up .
He said amusingly “ Outside of John , Joan and Linda - a whole bunch of us potentially weren’t getting up “ .

Claudia, Michael, Dex, and we needed one big one and I pick Adam then the real Adam shows up in 6, Steven needed another surgery to his face and the Moldavian plastic surgeon only had a picture from season 1 (they retcon that his face was partially blown off ) and Al returns. The king lives long enough to marry recently widowed Alexis then dies a la Cecil . Jeff is close to death and that’s why the Colby’s come out of the woodwork to get his shares of DC and take his kid out from those awful Carrington’s.
Krystle is missing and presumed dead but that doesn’t faze Sammy Jo or the writing team to go full steam ahead with Rita plot , SJ and Diana Gould weren’t too bright.
Or;
Everyone is killed except Lady Ashley who gets spun off to her own sitcom

Maybe I’d keep Dominique only if the inoperable bullet that was lodged in her brain actually had her remember what a horrible bitch she was promised to be, if not then bye bye sweet lady who dispenses sage advice to all these awful self involved white people in between singing old Rosemary Clooney songs

Rosalind Bedford.
Why wasn’t she invited to her „daughter” wedding after raising her for 20 years?
And didn’t Amanda have any old british friends from college, that she wanted at her wedding? It’s strange, that she was back in Europe and she didn’t want to meet anybody from her past there. Or was Moldavia located somewhere in Africa or Asia?

Pamela Bellwood said in an interview how outstanding it was that Carringtons never met anybody else. Which is why she kept marrying Carrington brothers. Rosalind could have been used to increase the feeble body count at the massacre -- and her death could have brought Miles Colby, her boytoy husband, to the show to attend her funeral (I first typed that as a joke -- and now I think I mean it!)
Obviously, Moldavia was supposed to be analogous to Monaco, a tiny principality with a high-profile royal family. And even the script said it was in the Carpathians... but how many Carpathian-located countries have palm trees?? Well, I guess they said that that was their "summer palace" -- but if Moldavia was "the size of a postage stamp" then how is it also large enough to stretch from the Carpathians to the Mediterranean??
But I'm educated in the United States. And me no know European topography.
