[QUOTE="GillesDenver, post: 362873, member: 318"] I don't think it was laziness, the staff came to the conclusion that it was detrimental to the writing process to keep synchronizing both shows. Diana Gould (main writer and producer of season 6) talked about that [URL='http://dynastie.wifeo.com/interviews3.php']here[/URL] : [B]Do you think it was difficult to mix the [I][B]Dynasty[/B][/I]'s storylines with the introduction of its spin-off [I][B]The Colbys[/B][/I] at the begining of the season? Yes, that was extremely difficult. We had to write storylines on [I]Dynasty[/I] which would segue into storylines on [I]The Colbys,[/I] and the two shows needed to be kept in synch. We always needed to be mindful of how a scene or storyline would play out on [I]The[/I] [I]Colbys[/I] as well. This became difficult at times. It had been hoped that the success of [I]Dynasty[/I] would wash over onto [I]The Colbys,[/I] but that did not happen.[/B] In "[I]the Alarm[/I]", there was a scene showing Adam finding Philip Colby's letter for Jeff. It was purposely deleted and remplaced by a scene with Caress and a bartender : [URL]https://carringtondynasty.fandom.com/wiki/The_Alarm_(1986)#Production_details[/URL] I guess it was around this time (November 1985) that the staff wanted to reduce the cross-overs and references between both shows.
