[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 392987, member: 57984"] When prepping for 1986's too-close-to-what-it's-parodying miniseries FRESNO, Terri Garr observed that "Joan Collins is the only one that knows what she's doing" amongst the '80s nighttime soap casts. And a few months later, as Season 7 continues the endless DYNAST-ic stumble, TVGuide correctly asked how long could Joan Collins be expected to keep afloat the sinking series all by herself. And they were right, or mostly. [B]None [/B]of DYNASTY's flaws were Collins' fault -- which is, if you think about it, an amazing statement... How bad does your production -- or your genre -- have to be in order for Joan Collins to be not simply the best element in it, but the veritable [B]life[/B]-[B]preserver [/B]of the whole damned thing?? Yes, Donna Mills knew what she was doing, too. But she was doomed to find herself in a show that was consistently [I][B]good[/B][/I]. Which is a totally different thing -- and therefore almost doesn't count. It almost isn't even fair!
