[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 420125, member: 57984"] Yes, although there were other moments of physical violence between Krystle and Alexis (the lily pond, the mud-slinging in the boutique, et al) they never had their organic origin like the first fight in the art studio. Krystle was, originally, the key character which kept the show grounded. Then, due to writing issues, the static acting directive, and other things, she became the [B]most[/B] vapid character at times, Linda no longer being sure of how to act it, and the writers no longer being interested in a character who was "nice" in a way many writers don't really understand (and may be contemptuous of). Was the static acting directive implemented by Eileen Pollock or by Doug Cramer? Or, heaven help us, both? Nobody stopped it, at any rate, until it was allowed to subside somewhat by Season 8 -- due more to constructive negligence, than anything (just as the excessive music scores relaxed). But, it did seem evident that the DYNASTY brass had a certain control-freak approach to, or jealous resentment of, their actors (which helped kill their show, almost frame-by-frame) while DALLAS did not (although the DALLAS executives later seemed to resent the viewers). Cramer years later sneered about "nobody probably remembers" Corley and PSM, while praising Coleman's acting; Spelling asserting that "nobody gives a damn" if you re-cast supporting characters; Eileen "Mike" Pollock publicly stating that Krystle was "boring" and blaming Linda for it (because Linda thought romantic affairs were wrong for Krystle) and then accused Linda of viewing DYNASTY "as a part time job" amidst the highly-publicized mid-Season 6 re-tooling which Pollock's negligence had caused. (Gordon Thomson later said of the writing at the start of Season 6, "that's some lazy shit").
