Poll : Should Nu Dynasty remake the Rita storyline

[thomaswak]

You surely know that the Rita storyline is not the most inspired moment in OG Dynasty. Some fans love it, many other hate it.

From a IRL standpoint, it was totally impossible for Rita to replace Krystle, with no-one noticing. No one has perfect 100 % look alike. And conveniently Rita was 98% perfect (except for her nose and her. But nothing a surgeon and a hairdresser wouldn't fix) she also had the same voice than Krystle. Yeah, I know : not possible. So unless Rita was a lost twin sister, the storyline premise had zero credibility.

Now, we don't need to be ashamed, and we can say it out loud (even if we enjoyed it) :
the Rita storyline was a joke.

As Nu Dynasty itself is a kind of joke too, do you think it's time to go full daytime soap madness? Yeah, that kind of storyline is no night time soap material imo. Yet, OGD (OG Dynasty) did it.

Should NUD (NU Dynasty) embrace the absurdity of Rita, and even go further? As someone said, should Ana Brenda Contreras come back and play Rita, with no-one seeing the difference with Daniella Alonso?

Let us know your thoughts on how YOU would do it.

Exactly the same. Frame by frame.

So we need a NU Delta Rho. And a NU Joel

Well, there's a rumour going around that Peter De Vilbis will appear in season 4, so I guess they're saving the Rita storyline for now...

They need to cast a eurotrash actor. But no-one can top Helmut "shit your pants" Berger in the trash section.

I think the fact that OG Dynasty did the story gives NuDynasty the excuse to do their version, even if the story is not their most inspired moment. Unlike the original series, this Dynasty can carry it off since parody and satire is already baked into the cake (whether we want it to be or not). Part of the reason I am rooting for them to do it is because these producers will not try to make it realistic--the viewer's intelligence is not going to be insulted any further than it already has, so to speak.

I've mentioned it before, but I will repeat myself since I'm really liking this option more and more: instead of a Fake Cristal story, I want it to be a Fake Steven storyline, where "Steven" returns from Paris but is actually someone impersonating him while Real Steven is still in Paris. Too many plot points to summarize here, but if I were writing it, Mackay would be almost as overworked as Liz Gillies is.

Now you're just trying to trick me into watching season 3.

It's already been quite an impostor galore with Hank as Adam, Adam as Steven's friend, Celia as Cristal, Liam as not himself and dead Matthew as Matthew.
All that fakery is getting a bit stale now, so my serious answer would be: no Rita for NUD.
Besides, I would NEVER accept a "Rita" who isn't played by Linda Evans. Come on guys, have some standards.

 

[thomaswak]

If they do it, I hope they won't drag it too long...
OG Dynasty did find any reasons to drag the story. Like Rita's nose job she didn't need the previous season

 

[GillesDenver]

Of course they should do it. But Rita would be Celia's lookalike instead of Cristal's. It would be a mix of the storyline with Rita in OGDynasty and the fake Pam in "Dallas".

I really like the idea of a Celia lookalike. Maybe it's the best way to have Nathalie Kelley's back, a bit like the CJ/Cathy storyline in Knots Landing. But this time, the Celia lookalike would be an impostor trying to pass for Celia back from the dead. Our

I wondered if you had keeled over while typing your message (and accidentally hit the reply button in the process).
But I'm glad you're OK

 

[Daniel Avery]

We've just witnessed the moment when they snatched Real @thomaswak and replaced him with Ritawak.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH @thomaswak ????

BTW, nice nose job there. Is your doctor taking new patients? Asking for a friend...

 

[Willie Oleson]

Asking for a friend...

Because he's going to pay for your big nose job?

New Dynasty is so bonkers this would actually work.

That's really nice. Thanks. I was starting to write something else and suddenly felt the desire to take a bath (and that's the sad truth to it lol). I forgot to erase "our" before posting.
