I know you probably wont believe me but I'm sure I got Teri Hatcher her gig on Desperate Housewives too. I mean for years I just bitched to anyone that would listen and those that wouldn't too, that Teri Hatcher needed to be back on TV in a lead role, on her own show. Then low and behold, there she was in a ball gown and stilettos on the front lawn!

I've also been looking to get my own Prime Time show for some time now. Would you consider plugging me relentlessly, aggressively even, all over the internet?

Ha! Who corrected the thread title?

I cant wait to see Nicollette's look as Alexis. I hope it's just as amazingly OTT and full on high octane glamour as Joan Collins.

It also means I need to dream bigger and channel my mystical powers into something other than helping actresses get work.

I just started wondering if the CWs Dynasty producers read your opening post of this thread 6 weeks ago and thought "well... why not?!" :D

I'm actually over the moon about this!
I think it's exciting to know who's going to play Alexis, but I would have been just as happy with the other actresses mentioned here (Marcia Cross, Kelly Rutherford and yes, Tori Spelling too!)
But since Cristal is dark-haired, I guess a redhead or blonde was the best option.

Either way, good luck Nicollette! Because this Alexis really needs to save the show.

I think Nicollette will just get it the way Joan got it. I'm excited for all the scenery chewing! She's going to absolutely wipe the floor with Cristal. RUIN her.

I feel a cautious optimism. I mean, if the writing doesn't improve, and the Cristal/Alexis quarrels are just as bad as the ones between Cristal & Fallon...
Being fabulous helps, but it's not enough.

Well there's also the fact that Nicollette can actually act. And she has what? 30 years of acting experience... Twice being a key player in a hit show. She knows how the industry works, she knows how primetime soaps work. She knows how to play a bitch.
I'm getting a little head rush at the thought of her rolling bitchy dialogue off her tongue and not sounding like a brain dead cheer leader when she does it. She's gonna show 'em how it's done. I think Nicollette is the right type of actress to elevate some of the more stilted dialogue to make it work. Just like Joan did on the original show. I mean lord knows Joan spun some shit to gold as far as the scripts were concerned.

Now I'm just gonna throw this out there! Get Joan Collins in to play Nicollette's Alexis' mother.

Don't get me wrong, I find the thought to watch Nicollette as Alexis exhilarating.
But I've been optimistic for more than 6 months before the show began, when most forum members weren't .
Knowing now what NuDynasty is, I'm feeling less confident.
So I have to see it first before I can say "this is awesome!"

We've theorized for years that some in the industry must read this site. Or alexis has excellent contacts.
Actually.... I started this year with a vow to get what I want. Most things I set my heart on I got. New job, to see Celine Dion in concert. For Steps to have a career comeback and a successful well received pop album and tour. I got Dynasty back and now this.... There's just that man I need to bag and I'm all set.

I'm sorry. I'm just too old for you.

Kelly Rutherford already got cast in one episode that will air in early 2018, the wife of some politician I think or something of that sort...
