DYNASTY - Season 1 Ep 11 - Blake kills Ted Dinard

[RassilonsArmy]

I love the fights in Dynasty. There was one fight where they zoomed in on John Forsythe's stunt double, and you could see his real hair poking out from underneath the grey wig. Good memories.

In my class (1000 years ago), we actually made a play for this scene! I was Joseph... :-)

Al Corley was so cuter than Jack Coleman.

RIP. John Forsythe, and thanks for ALL those entertaining hours!

when that guy's head hit the fireplace I bet his boyfriend realized that he only had a few seconds to bum him one more time before he was shagging a corpse.

i just hate the fact that the character was SO not gay, like, it was gay, be he's 100% straight-looking. i mean, i know that in those days the whole show could suffer if they showed a real girly gay man, but i don't know, wayy too soften up

[scorpio888]

Not everyone's the queen you seem to be, artemiskunzitee.

If you want a girl, then go straight.

[artemiskunzitee]

it's not about been queen dumbass, it's about been honest with yourself, and IN FACT, AL CORLEY LEFT THE SHOW BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THE CHARACTER WAS PORTRAID, duh !

[scorpio888]

Yes, artemiskunzitee, I KNOW Al Corley left the show because he didn't like the way the character was portrayed...

.... but his problem with that was that the writers kept trying to "straighten" him out.

But YOU seem to think acting like a queen is the only "honest" was to be gay.

Being a "girly man" isn't "honest".

LOTS of gay guys are butch, masculine people. That's what YOU don't seem to get... Which makes you a dumbass.

[artemiskunzitee]

HELL NO, i don't think that way. What i'm saying is that they couldn't even touch in the series, they couldn't say things lovers says when they are in love, they couldn't be in bed topless you know, THAT is my point, you're all messed up, and pretty much you're a dumbass :)

[paulac2006]

because they were trying to turn the character straight, and his character was trying to show that not all gay men are girly camp men despite people not believing this!

[artemiskunzitee]

yes,but i'm not talking about being femenine, i'm talking about touching each other, they couldn't even kiss each other! he was so censured

[paulac2006]

yeah but nobody wanted to see that, straight anyway, that's not an insult btw because i'm gay so :/

[mastermold2008]

Crazy old bastard Blake. Love how his hair was flaying around during the fight. Just adds to his craziness.

[rfk32578]

That was just Blake Carrington's way of "stopping the spread of faggotry!" Steven should of "OMG!! You killed Ted! YOU BASTARD!!!!" ...lol!

[mrmagassi]

The true Blake Carrington... I hated the way they softened up his character year after year to be a hero... (and PSM's reaction here is amazing!)...

[Shakeshack78]

@mrmagassi - I'll never forget Pamela Sue's reaction.........I was around 14 when this episode aired--and I am gay and was very impressed at the time w/the gay storyline (and face it, prior to this, imperfect as it was, all I had to see on TV was Jamie Farr on MASH and Billy Crystal on Soap). But even with all that, my heart went out to Fallon's character because I knew how much she loved her father and to witness him do such a thing! Really good acting---reactions w/out words!!
