[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 360647, member: 95"] Same with Dynasty, Dynasty wasn’t about the Carrington’s as a whole to begin with, it was mainly about three outsiders; Steven Carrington - the gay leaning bisexual, born into that dynasty but isn’t “man enough” (in Blake’s eyes) to take it on, Claudia - a middle class housewife whose husband is having an affair and works for Blake, she also suffers from mental illness, she’s a metaphor for the 70s America as a whole, a woman who started out with hope in the 60s, came crashing down in the 70s only to be a shattered shell of herself by 1981 and last but certainly not least, Krystle, being the lower middle class secretary marrying into the super rich Carrington dynasty through Blake, once Steven gets recast into a heterosexual whose simply bi curious, Claudia marrying into the dynasty twice over and Krystle getting put into the corner steadily in favour of the Blake/Alexis whereby she has no real storyline of her own from mid season 6 to early season 9 (the last third of the series I might add) other than to react to Blake’s storylines we the audience are left blind. BH 90210 was the same, the show started out with the Walsh family playing a central role, again a normal Midwestern family thrown into the chaotic and unconventional world of Beverley Hills, by the time we get to final two seasons there are no Walsh’s left, Brandon was the last one but he had become a supporting character to Kelly for several seasons, more specifically Brenda Walsh was our eyes into that world, she was arguably the leading character for the first four seasons, a midwesterner who initially craves the rich Californian lifestyle becomes dissatisfied with it by the 4th season when she moved to London, after that was the beginning of losing any insight we had.
