[QUOTE="Tony, post: 163152, member: 186"] I think Gabriel is right - nu Dynasty is obviously being made as cost efficient as possible, even the early critics remarked how 'slightly cheap' it looked, at least compared to the original's pilot. I read a Doug Cramer interview saying that in Dynasty they replaced a quarter of the cast, which was a way of cutting costs down as well as freshening up the plot. Which I guess is why Nicolette Sheridan, James McKay and Nathalie Kelley have been replaced by Michael Michelle, Sam Underwood and Anna Brenda Contreras. I'm surprised with all the internet scuttle-butt that there isn't more gossip surrounding the cast changes National Enquirer style, which happened on original Dynasty. You would think there would be more crew leaks or gossip from the cast and crew. So either they've been told to be tight lipped, or viewers just aren't that interested and invested in the series.
