it was pretty daring back then, it was brave back then all those years ago, but it's not anything like the homophobia of today where youth culture is so steeped in uptight/boring/conservative/ignorant/racism/homophobia
Steven is gay......... well for twelve more episodes, ha ha.
Blake is so hateful. The way he says: 'Are we back to that again' (RE: Ted Dinard's death) as if he is talking about a toy that has been broken. How could Steven ever talk to his father again after he killed the man he loved.
Her irrational, oedipus-like connection to her father. Their relationship absolutely deserved an "Eve's Bayou" like flashback somewhere. The show had pushed so many different envelopes, though, that they were probably afraid to go there. The writers seemed to want Fallon to become as sterile as possible in the time leading up to Pamela Sue's exit.
More of that fan-mail screenwriting... "Why is Fallon so promiscuous? Why doesn't she settle down with Jeff? Can she stop being mean to Krystle please? Jeff should badger her constantly to spend more time with the baby, (that way he can be a guilt-pushing absent father like most businessmen)"
*Esther schedules a meeting with the DeBlasio's to discuss a "new direction" for Fallon.* Figures.
I think Fallon's toning down seemed organizc as she became a mother... but the Krystle/Blake/Fallon triangle is endlessly entertaining... they were even competing for the same men! :)
Coleman never did quite find his rhythm with the character IMO. And his flip-flopping of loyalties was a desecration of the character as well. Actually the flip-flopping of sexuality did not work for the character of Steven AT ALL after this scene took place. It was, again, one of those things you were expected to explain away so that you could keep watching without an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
Dynasty is the only show on TV which demanded you forget some of its best elements in order to remain a fan as it sunk further away from all rationality into complete camp 'toonery.
Yes. Several VERY passionate kisses, a a deeply emotional affair replete with discussions of divorcing her husband to be with him. "Never really involved with Nick," indeed.
Poor spineless, naive simp Jeffrey Colby. Reduced to an onlooker at his own child's outdooring. And Blake carting his grandchild in like it's his own baby - so desperate to take ownership over yet another individual... With his daughter and wife by his side, as though the child is their posession, wholly.
And how pathetic is their family? Nothing but servants around. Where are the extras to play aunts, uncles, neices, and cousins? Where the hell are the Colby's? Just pathetic. Steven's smartest move was to leave. The dumbest move ever was coming back (with a new face albeit).
"Don't spoil this day for your father?" Er, it's Jeff and Fallon's day...he's THEIR kid.
Still, that last scene in the library was awesome.

3.11 Beautiful. Beautiful.
Another beautiful Krystle scene.
Krystle looks much more beautiful than Alexis here.

There were some dynamic performances in seasons 1 & 2.
After that, Dynasty became the DIVA show.
But these were some of the finest performances on television at the time.
I still enjoy the confrontation between Bo Hopkins and Pam Bellwood over their daughter's disappearance.
And Brian Dennehy was awesome in those court scenes. A true force to be reackoned with.
Though green, Corely really delivered as Stephen. Vulnerable and uncompromising, all at once. He gave Stephen a soul.

What does "green" mean???
parkguy505 2 years ago
I think she/he meant envious.
As in, "The green eyed monster" or "green with envy", as they say.

Green means that you are not mature yet, you are new to what you do

Typical of Fallon to force her father's legacy onto her child. They HAD to make him more Carrington than Colby. Poor Jeff.
Gatsbyesque 2 years ago
Agreed. If Jeff didn't like Blake so much, that might have been hard to swallow.
