[QUOTE="Rove, post: 153095, member: 100"] It's like history is repeating itself. In original Dynasty I didn't mind to much the recasting of Steven only because I went along with the plastic surgery story. Fair enough, thinking those surgeons are magicians. But I didn't like the recasting of Fallon as I had a fondness for Pamela Sue Martin. I will admit I didn't hang around with original Dynasty as I did with Dallas but only because it became too camp. This version has been a train-wreck from the beginning. Did The CW really believe this was going to set the ratings on fire? Why did they listen to those stupid focus groups and allow them to more or less get Nathalie Kelley fired. This was not her doing. If The CW was serious about presenting a solid drama they should have hauled the show-runners in and given them a good dressing down. Having Cristal draped over Blake's desk with her ankles pointing to GOD was not a good look from the outset. Defend this image if you must but was it really necessary? Then James Mackay was more or less let go, again not of his making. It would appear the role of Steven hasn't yet been recast as James has been popping in occasionally with odd phone calls to Sam. Now the mother of all horrid decisions with Nicolette leaving. Read into whatever you believe but at this stage I'm going to accept her reasons for her departure from Dynasty. Will the show-runners be so bold and recast Alexis? I think the entire scenario is both hilarious and sad and reflects poorly on the writers, directors, show-runners and those Shapiro people [I]if [/I]they have any influence over this reboot. It's those people who should be open to criticism for this reboot...not the actors desperately trying their best to present...what is? [/QUOTE]
