[QUOTE="Zable, post: 194535, member: 47"] I'd be interested to know if Bast and Huson envisioned the same as the Shapiros and Pollocks. I think the Shapiros and Pollocks wanted to create the illusion of a same universe as a marketing ploy: Dynasty's ad claim to having the largest TV cast of notables in one show comes to mind. (Never mind that it thought Claire Yarlett was a notable but acting awards nominee Joseph Campanella apparently wasn't; or that Katharine Ross never appeared on Dynasty.) But it being the same universe for both shows should be hard to believe since the first episode of TC itself has some key fundamentals of the 'same' story different on either show. For instance, Jason is still waiting for his doctor to give him word on a second medical opinion (which he gets on Thanksgiving Day if I recall correctly), whereas on Dynasty Jason has already received it along with a third medical opinion at the same time. Or, for instance, on Dynasty Jason & family arrive in Denver where the pipeline deal is about to be signed vs Jason & family on TC arriving home on ostensibly the return trip but the pipeline deal is clearly more advanced as Jason's people are already in talks with the port authorities. (Also Garret Boydston was with them when they arrived home, whereas on Dynasty, he was still in Denver, visiting Dominique.) Or, for instance, on TC, Colby Enterprises is a company Jason inherited, and there is a whole scene where he explains to Jeff the beginnings of CE. Contrast that with Blake of S6 explaining to Krystle (in reality Rita) that CE was jointly founded by Jason and Connie. Or, how about Jeff of Season 6 Dynasty saying he last saw his uncle Jason 11 very precise years ago while Jason on S1 of The Colbys hadn't seen Jeff for more than 20 years. You may put all this down to mere discrepancies (like how many years Jason and Sable had been married in each season of TC, or who built the Colbys' family home, Jason's dad or grandad) I can't. I have too much respect for the work of William Bast. [/QUOTE]
