[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 439202, member: 95"] This season has always fascinated me, not because of it being an improvement on previous years (though it was more consistent than seasons 6 & 7) but for the fact that we basically got abandoned plots from season 6 & 7 rehashed and changed around for season 8, except the season was so dry and flavourless, also that S8 should have been the reset season, if S6 was to have been its peak (which in many ways it was) then S8 should have been the season where the game changed. I did like some ideas like Steven being ruthless while Adam was being more of the good brother this season with Fallon even siding with Adam at times. Leslie was simply the latest in a long line of Fallon replacements, which by season 8 was unnecessary as Fallon was back albeit with Emma Samms, she replaced Amanda mk2 and would soon be replaced briefly by Virginia Methany - Krystle’s cousin. Sean Rowan should never have even been a character, his role could have been filled by either Matthew Blaisdel or Nick Toscanni Dana was most definitely the bright spark in this season and by far the best addition to the cast in years by that point, she really grew in S8, she was neither a Kirby stand in nor a Claudia replacement she was her own character. Storyline’s that should have happened in S8, Matthew or Nick marrying Alexis and he runs for governor while Krystle is the opposition. I’d still have Blake hand over control of DC to his children, including Amanda, having Steven show his ruthless side, causing Fallon and Amanda to side with Adam. Leslie would have been a stalker for Alexis. Kirby would have come back with Adam’s baby, Adam is loyal to Dana but wants to get to know his son You are aware of one thing of Dynasty S8 and I think you can say this for both Dallas and Falcons Crest, not so much Knots, but by Autumn 1987, the party was over and the hungover for the 80s began. Dynasty feels fatigued when really it should have bracing for a new era, one could argue had David Paulsen took the helm in 1987 rather than 1988 we would have gotten Dynasty as far as 1991 I know there was talks of Dominique returning for guest stints in season 8 as well as guest stints from Sable, Monica and Miles from the Colby’s, one wonders how this would have shaped Dynasty for the remainder of its run.
