I'm happy for Joan-Alexis! She has had such an amazing life.


One thing I love about her i Dynasty, is the fact that Alexis had a way of using her excellent wits and arsenal of pride to be somewhat proud of her ravishing, promiscuous love life. Blake called her a tramp and whatnot and he had the Madonna/Whore-thing going one hard, and I personally don't care for a promiscuous lifestyle, not at all. But Alexis had a way of standing on her pride and never apologize to any man about this.

- There was no ski instructor.
- There were many ski instructors.
(- I'll bet there were.)

Alexis Forever!

Blake called her a tramp and whatnot and he had the Madonna/Whore

Yes, he did. Maybe that's why DYNASTY worked as well as it did (narrative and tonal flaws aside). Krystle and Alexis, mostly because of the casting, really did come off as complementary opposites: Krystle, the empty-armed madonna, soulful and sad; Alexis, the whore who emptied Krystle's arms as often as possible (e.g., causing miscarriages, Alexis & Blake in Singapore).

"The two sides of Everywoman," as Linda described it. Polar archetypes of femininity. Lailah and Lilith.

Until Madonna came around who was also a whore and messed the whole thing up.

I think it went to the core with Blake.

Alexis being his wild father, and Krystle the clean image of his mother.

Oh, interesting.

Well, Blake's "best friend" for so many years was also his worst enemy, Cecil Colby, who hid his hatred for Blake until the eleventh hour.

And then his saintly second wife, Krystle, he bullied.

Same with Fallon & Steven -- the selfish sassbox daughter he coddled, the sensitive son he rejected (until Steven1 became Steven2 and turned into a bitch, and so Blake was now fine with him).

The patterns, the patterns.
