"You whores!" --- Constance's video will

[Willie Oleson]

and, of course, there's Shakespeare's MacScottishPlay

Starring, Alexianetta MicMacMorelloughby St. Carringtonius Colbycococo Dexteresque Von Rowanovski.
Yes I know that play.

I wonder, how would the ladies react to Constance's video will?
And who would inherit what?

I wonder, how would the ladies react to Constance's video will?

Alexis would gasp, clutching her throat. Sable and Caress would sideglance the room with a hiss.

They'd all take it very, very seriously.

Only Dame Judith Fallmont Colby Whomever, Queen Mother, grasping Jason's arm, smirks a wee bit.

And who would inherit what?

I'd just assume Jeff got everything. Including her remaining love letters to Robert Taylor.



Constance: "Agatha, you whore, what have you done with those mysterious nazi treasure maps?"
Agatha: "Well, they're safely filed away in the study at the Moldavian palace, Constance. Just so as long as no one facilitates another coup d'etat, their whereabouts and their contents will remain our little secret forever."
Kris Munroe: "Bosley says it's all buried under Charlie's house."
Agatha: "Oops. Looks like it got out."
Constance: "You whore!!!"

They'd all take it very, very seriously.

And that's how it should look on tv, otherwise it doesn't work.

Constance: "You whore!!!"

Exactly.

Yes, as Susan Sontag/Diane Fosse Arbus once asserted, 'camp' can never be deliberate.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Just because...

It's so great, and I can watch it as poignant drama or camp melodrama depending on the mood I'm in. But most of the times it seems like a bit of both.

Indeed Stanwyck was a bit of both.

But would Connie have called the woman who birthed Alexis and Caress, old pal Minx Morell, a "whore" since Minx was already dead? We may never know.

[Snarky Oracle!]

And who but a filthy whore makes out with -- and then marries -- her brother, Cecil, under the cover of night?:

 

[GillesDenver]

Well, there was a lot of incestuous feelings in "Dynasty" so why not in "The Colbys" ?

 

[GillesDenver]

Maybe that's why Cecil was cut from Andrew Colby's will !
