I will never understand why people say Alexis was a good mother. She tended to use her acceptance of her kids like it was a gift they should forever be grateful to her for. The show truly destroyed the idea Alexis was a great mom when they brought in Amanda.
Lets not forget she left her little kids for 16 years because Blake was paying her 20k a month to stay away. And only came back to try and put Blake in prison as a revenge for dumping her 16 years ago, and only wanted to restore relationship with her kids now to use them as pawns against Blake.
Poor Alexis, her own children are not sure of her innocence, she has to remind them that she loves them despote their shortcomings. It's tough for a mother.
Imagine Megan Mullally dubbing all of Joan Collins scenes in Karen Walker's voice, i wish i could get her to do that and i'd gladly have a CZcams channel for people to enjoy that lol
In this day of stretch sweatpants at the office and men not even knowing how to tie ties, I long for a place and time (if ever there was one) when people dressed this well day-to-day.
decent show for its time...went downhill for me by season 6.....i think this is because the writers became spread thin with the spin-off the colby's.....i am really not sure why they were so afraid to push the envelope.....when they came up with the stupid storyline to give krystal a double....this gave them a rare opportunity to create some great tv.....blake comes home n catches krystal kissing the supposed doctor...he has a flashback of alexis and looses it.....all the mny times that blake allowed krystal to leave the mansion without incident.....he no longer knows this krystal and will allow her to leave but not with krystina.....there relationship totally deteriorates......divorce proceedings get ugly n a custody battle ensues and twd the end of the case...krystle escapes and makes her way to court....she opens the double doors....everyone looks back n sees her but is totally confused because kryslte is sitting next to her attorney...
I agree with your comment. S5 was hampered quite a bit with Fallon gone, Jeff sidelined, the disappointing reveal about Dominique's identity, and the half-baked royal wedding stuff. S6 though is where things just tumbled down a cliff. Maybe if they'd had fake Krystle come on to Dex, that could've created some sparks. But I think the fake Krystle storyline was just doomed. Not because it was stupid, took a dozen episodes to go nowhere, and inflicted George Hamilton's crappy acting on us (though all those things are true) but because it WASN'T KRYSTLE. Who cared about watching Rita facing off against Alexis (or anyone else)?
Wow that’s like 10,000 times better than what actually happened on the show! The whole double plot line was the worst. I was so disappointed in it as were most viewers. I remember reading it was supposed to go on for the entire season but they dropped it when the ratings tanked.
@@joemanzo4453 So ironic that this subject wld occur via email as this exact subject came up this afternoon in convo with my mom (we were discussing the age difference btwn Linda and Joan)....Mny times an actor will yearn for a storyline that will allow them to stretch their depth/range.....and this storyline wld have allowed Linda just that. However, perhaps she did approach the producers n they wtd to keep it simple....U r correct that they quickly abandoned the storyline b/c of viewer backlash....Joan refused to appear on the Colby's b/c she said from the start....splitting the writers btwn 2 shows will cause Dynasty to suffer (they paid her back in S9 by cutting her from 9 episodes....Joan was pissed).
The Moldavian Massacre, while a fantastic cliffhanger, was a mistake. That was a time for them to kill off certain minor characters (like the kings, duchess and princes etc...) and create new plotlines.
@@renegaderunner332 By that time they had turned their attention to the spin-off "The Colby's" (production and writers)...Joan Collins, refused to appear on the spin-off has she felt it was a huge mistake to use the same writers for both shows has Dynasty wld suffer (and it did). Claudia shld have died in the massacre as she served no purpose in S6 (however, no that i am re-watching all seasons, i realize she was a major contributor to Adam's storyline)....It was a serious miscalculation, b/c they felt the Jeff search for Fallon wld be enough to draw viewers over to the Colby's and if the orig Fallon was part of the spin-off that might have held true but the replacement was not well cast (no disrespect to Emma Samms, but PamMartin was a tough act to follow b/c she was well cast). In addition, they did not do enough to draw the viewer into curious enough to tune in as 6 seasons in, n we had never seen a peep from the California Colby's N then we learn Jeff's mama is alive n well when for 5 seasons we had been led to believe Jeff was an orphan (Blake even offered to adopt him)...Jeff had some milestone events (birth of his 1st child, the kidnapping of that child, death of his 1st love n baby mama, )n we never saw a peep of a mama n out of the blue they drop a whole clan of Colby's out of nowhere, inclusive of a mama....If they were going to include a mama,wld have been smarter if she arrived for Fallon's funeral with the intention of repairing their relationship n Jeff rejecting her...
@@tomstmarttin2923 Alexis (played by Maggie Wickman) only appeared in one scene in the first season so of course she wore a hat "the whole first season".
The look on Adam's face when Alexis said "when have I been anything but honest?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No kidding. It was all he could do to keep from bursting out laughing!
Ohh yesss they are both well cut for the same clothes 😋
Adam was just as crooked as his mother Alexis.
I miss this show.
Loved Alexis 😻
Booze in the coffee .. we ❤ joan collins
Oh,yes.coffee.and.booze.ac.

such a phenomenal actress
"When have I ever been anything, but honest" says the lady as she sips from her copy.
His voice still melts my heart now, but then i always love a bad boy xx
You know he's gay, right ?
Love that table!!!!

She wasn't that great of a mother.
OOh Adam is so handsome. Meanwhile, I always try and imagine Karen Walker to be like Alexis but catch myself laughing...lol

@@Ciclopea2 Haha! 😄
A little booze in the morning coffee.....
She WAS under some strain so a little brandy might be forgiven.
Must be Monday
You sound so judgemental. Like we don’t all do that daily. In the parking lot at Dunkin’ donuts even.
@@jpp7783 you need to speak to someone.
When have i been anything, but honest?........umm.....ALL THE TIME! lol

RIP Mark Jennings, (Geoffrey Scott)...
Alexis: When have I been anything by honest?
Well Alexis, how much time have you got?
She had Wonderful Hair!
She wear wigs on the show.
@@harperstacey9604 I think that she wears extensions
Adam was sculpted on Alexis look. Same black hairs and green eyes. Ah, dishonesty too😊
Alexis....honest 😄😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What is the statue behind her?
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT TABLE WAS SO TACKY
I agree, it's very tacky. It's the kind of table that a poor person thinks a rich person would have.

Oh,yes.alexis..enters.again.go.alexis.carrington.
Is that a statue of Jesus Christ the King on the credenza behind her?!
I thought it might be St. Christopher.
why the heck did she almost always wear these huge wigs? They made her head look enormous
Enormous head? Stop lying
@@endofaneraoutnow3473 yes, Joan is a very beautiful lady but short and these wigs make her head look so big, it distorts all her nice propotions
@@triadafillos1 lol
lovelove forevers sweeties @w
notice how she said “when have i ever been not honest” instead of “when have i ever lied” there seems to be a difference
Her hairstyle here was hideous! The wigs she wore in later seasons were much better.
thats because they had more money for hair and makeup after the first season and she wore a hat the hole first season were you watching
@@tomstmarttin2923 Alexis (played by Maggie Wickman) only appeared in one scene in the first season so of course she wore a hat "the whole first season".
It's the hairline that ruins it. Didn't they have lace-fronts back then?
She was mid-transformation from Alexis the scheming yet whimsical artist to Alexis the ruthless queen of the boardroom.
I actually really like her look here!
"A good lawyer always hesitates before answering" What? I've been doing it wrong all these years? No wonder I can't get any good cases!!
