It's worth noting that these isolated scenes are always so entertaining even without knowing the context of the whole episode or prior storylines. It says something about why the series was so popular. All the information you'd need for this scene is contained within it. Even if you'd missed a few episodes it wouldn't take a viewer long to catch up, assuming the same approach was continually used. Great fun!
I sold this exclusive jewelry, including the custom wedding rings for both ladies. All of their jewelry was and still is fantastic. I only wish that I kept more of their signature pieces; they make anyone look fabulous.
It's who she really was. This is the real Krystle, she is just like Alexis, even worse because she can put on an act of "kindness" underneath her ruthlessness. Alexis recognizes game, and she knows Krystle is capable of the same evil she is. The only other person that Alexis terrified, besides Krystle, was Sable. Sable is more benevolent than Alexis and Krystle, dare I say, she is a good person with good intentions, and can easily stop her cousin, Alexis. Krystle is a wannabe good person, with selfish intentions, and can put that fight that makes Alexis worried. Evil = Alexis, Blake Neutral Evil = Krystle, Sammy Jo Neutral Good = Sable Good = Claudia
I've always loved the costume designer Nolan Miller's take on 1940s "women's melodrama " fashion-revivals for Dynasty. More than fashion, it was costuming of a very particular kind where women's clothing was another character in the screenplay. These clothes are highly theatrical clothes, and the adornment (In this scene the jewellery) is heavy enough to sink a Spanish galleon! Nolan Miller was a master at tailored "tailleur" looks rather than softer styles or what the French couturiers call "flou" (drapery or soft designs). This is very much a trademark of 1940s Hollywood. Miller did dress all the great divas of the old studio system (Stanwyck, Taylor, Davis, Crawford) and I see him as the last of the great Hollywood costume designers in the line of Adrian, Orry Kelly and Edith Head. When you watch many of the scenes with Krystle or Alexis in particular, there is actually so much detail in their wardrobe it's gobsmacking: he used incredible padded appliqué on those plank- like shoulder pads, Cornelli work, incredible structured peplums that made the actresses look like they were about to take off in flight, and meltingly glamorous fur trim that was so reminiscent of the costumes of Crawford, Davis and chic actresses of the 40s like Ida Lupino (as seen on Krsytle's beige suit here). Dynasty single handedly also brought back millinery in the early 1980s and women everywhere all wore hats again after they had gone out of fashion for 2 decades prior to the 80s. No one wore a hat like Alexis! Her hats often incorporated netting reminiscent of the fashion illustrations of René Gruau. In Dynasty costuming we see the last of the art of "dressing UP" which ended around 1989 as the grunge and minimalist 90s trends for dressing down approached. Linda Evans has a naturally very athletic body and she was a tall and big-boned all American gal, and so Miller accentuated her broad shoulders even further with those gargantuan shoulder pads. She used her physicality often in scenes against her manipulative and more intellectually formidable opponent, Alexis. Therefore, Krystle's apparel is always more toned down (Miller favoured blues, greys, pastels and neutrals on Krystle) and relied on structure, breadth and line. The English-born Joan is very petite by comparison and so Miller went to town with jewellery, hair accessories, and other tricks of the trade (plunging necklines or slits for example) to create a larger than life character in Alexis. She wore lots of luxurious white and "winter white" (an 80s favourite) as well as lots of black and Valentino red (which were bold statements to echo her dialogue which was far from subtle). Some of Alexis's two-toned black and white suits are incredibly memorable and iconic from that period and really established Joan Collins as a force in pop culture and prime time at a time when she was already in her 50s (because she was really always a B-grade actress and her acting in Dynasty is pure high-camp). But I watched Dynasty really for the costumes! And when all is said and done, the real "stars" of the series were Nolan's incredible sartorial works of art: those walking, moving, talking sculptures: the gowns, great "80s Ungaro-style" draped wrap jersey day dresses, suits, wraps and furs that spoke volumes about the characters. Forget Dame Joan! Without Nolan Miller, there would have been no Dynasty! Give THAT man a knighthood! (I hope he won an Emmy at least for the wardrobe in Dynasty!) In an age of ready to wear and designer off the rack clothing on television (many wardrobes on tv series these days are just off the rack designer clothes and truckloads of styling), it is difficult for younger generations to remember that there was a time (as in Dynasty) when a character's wardrobes were custom-made couture creations. And yet ask many younger people if they know who Nolan Miller is and they will have no idea. Yet his creations defined not just TV soap, but a whole era, globally. Like it or not.
Saint Raphæl This is a great and informative critique of how important wardrobe was to Dynasty. I think many people watched it just to see what Joan and Linda were wearing. The grand staircase of the Carrington Mansion was brilliantly used to parade dazzling gowns going up and down. Hats never went out of fashion in England partly because it's more formal, more traditional and we have royalty and grand church weddings where hats are a big thing. Joan Collins always looked sensational in hats. Dynasty was very forties, the woman's melodramatic picture left the cinema and went to live in TV soap opera.
Whether It’s true (which it is) doesn’t change the fact that Cecil DID marry Alexis and gave half of Colbyco to Alexis in his will, legally. The other half went to Jeff (which she bought from Jeff). This whole scene made no sense
0:34 Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" is a line from the 1939 film Gone with the Wind starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. The line is spoken by Rhett Butler, as his last words to Scarlett O'Hara, in response to her tearful question: "Where shall I go? What shall I do?
...That's Don Dubbins, (1928-1991), a reliable television character actor ; (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Barnaby Jones), from the 60's through the 80's.
AT LAST! Krystle shows her true colors as a "Carrington". This is who Krystle really is! A vindictive, gut-wrenching, cutthroat Woman, just like Alexis. 2 Sides of the same coin. This time, Krystle is not hiding her real personality underneath her "fake nice b.s" personality.
I LUUUV how Alexis gives Krystal her back when Krystal says "WATCH ME." 🤣😂🤣🤣 In gay vernacular this is commonly known as giving vicious shade. She gave her *back*.
Alexis Colby always looked better than Crystal I don't give a damn what yall say❤ Alexis was a bad b**** that outfit right there took the damn cake Alexis had on ,Crystal had that 1980s part down the middle those wings in her hair,I think every woman had them in the 80s that you could fly away on the tips of those wings🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Alexis's outfits were way before their time and Blake always had Crystal that fur jacket she never had any other kind of minks or furs that looked worth anything most people couldn't stand Alexis because she was the s***❤
The consummation of the marriage has never been a condition for its validity. Except for Catholics if they request an annulment from Rome, and even then, it is an element that is only taken into account along with other requirements.
@@gregoryjones9546 I'm trying to remember, did Jeff sleep with Sammy Jo when he should have been with Fallon, or sleep with Fallon when he should have been with Sammy Jo. There were only like 6 women on Dynasty and they just passed them around.
@@Youngstown529 I Know,Right!!! Like When Dynasty Ended,Everybody Just About Slept With Everybody,So No Wonder They Kept Bringing New People In. I Liked When Emma Samms Fallon Had The HOT Steamy Affair With The Police Detective Zorelli,Who Was Investigating The Roger Grimes Case And They Found Hidden Nazi Treasures,Artwork,Paintings Etc.
There will never be another Joan.
Joan was Amazing.
@Dusk Hollow I do.
I follow her on Instagram.
Saw her Live Twice - an amazing woman.
Krystal's shoulder pads in this scene are outrageous. Even for the 80's.
Maybe she wanted to compete with Sue Ellen Ewing 🤔
@@langelot73 The Ewings and Dallas looked like they wore hand me downs or recycled thrift shoppe clothes compared to Dynasty.
They didn’t enhance the look here
But they go great with the built-in muff that jacket has!
She probably had to turn sideways to get through doors lol

Actually, these isolated scenes are really BETTER without the context --- DYNASTY's story flow and structure were rarely its strong suit.

That's the definition of a soap opera. 😎🖤👍
The jewelry in this scene is blinding.

Love the fur cuffs!
Russians in europe still wearing fur like that....back in the 80th. BUT only Alexis can rock a fur like she did in Dynasty
I loved the fashion on this show
When your shoulders are so wide that it requires two separate postcodes….
Finally - Krystle being savage!
It's who she really was.
This is the real Krystle, she is just like Alexis, even worse because she can put on an act of "kindness" underneath her ruthlessness.
Alexis recognizes game, and she knows Krystle is capable of the same evil she is. The only other person that Alexis terrified, besides Krystle, was Sable.
Sable is more benevolent than Alexis and Krystle, dare I say, she is a good person with good intentions, and can easily stop her cousin, Alexis. Krystle is a wannabe good person, with selfish intentions, and can put that fight that makes Alexis worried.
Evil = Alexis, Blake
Neutral Evil = Krystle, Sammy Jo
Neutral Good = Sable
Good = Claudia
I like what Alexis has around her neck
I love it and the earrings
Krystle's outfit makes her look like a bodybuilder omg
But her cuffs match her curtains...
She has weights made from fur.

Just watched it a couple nights ago. Rhett is everywhere.
Really only Krystle of any arch rival torments Alexis if necessary
Gotta love those cliffhangers.
Im so in Krystal side all the time !
Same!
Great *flashback* scene!
One of the very few times Alexis looks worried.
Det är är en underbar scen tycker jag 😎😎😉😉😀😀😁😁🍰👍👍👊👊
Det är var en väldigt bra scen tycker jag 🌷🌷🥀🥀⚘⚘
I watch the show to see what they were wearing they dress like they stepped out of Vogue Magazine ,stunning
The shoulder pads are symbolic of the power Krystal hs.
Shoulder pads bigger than a linebacker
00:29 Ooh, that's right!....work those ridiculously oversized shoulders!

All Alexis has to do is put Crystal on blast to media saying she threatened to blackmail her if she doesn’t withdraw from the campaign
Like Alexis,but Krystle is number one,Krystle and Jeff are two biggest souls in Dynasty
Fan bloody tastic, Krystal definitely had her worried!
Krystle had Alexis scared
Krystal comes from the city of Big shoulders, and she loves to do two jobs at once!
Too cute.
I LUUUV how Alexis gives Krystal her back when Krystal says "WATCH ME." 🤣😂🤣🤣 In gay vernacular this is commonly known as giving vicious shade. She gave her *back*.
Hurray Krystle Grant Jennings Carrington trumps Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan !!!
YES!!! LOVE HOW YOU USED ALL THEIR NAMES,MAIDEN AND MARRIED!!! And Krystle TRUMPED Alexis,FOR SURE!!! 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

- I find it strange blah blah blah
- Nnnnnnn DEUYEUUUWW
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get her Krystle!!
Omg those shoulder pads! Holy Mother of God.
Holy mother of pads!
Massive!! Even for the 80s!
Den är scen var jätte bra tycker jag Linda var så coll
Alexis was extra miffed that day, hahaha.
Why can’t MASSIVE shoulderpads come back into fashion? 🙏🏻
I don't understand the krystel accusations, everyone gets married on their deathbed, everything is normal, 😆😆🤣
Love Krystal's outfit
Those shoulder pads rival the length of the Great Wall of China! 🤣
Linda Evans must of not had any friends on set. Otherwise someone would of told her how ridiculous she looked in that outfit. 😬
What is the metal of Alexis's necklace????
Tin foil 😆
@@strikeleather6503 🤣🤣🤣
Linda evens looks like a fashion sketch...
What’s with the camera blur on the women??
Cette fois c'est Krystle qui joue la garce et c'est Alexis qui prend dans la gueule 😱😱😱😱👍👍👍👍
So all this should of been Jeff's from the very beginning and she somehow changed everything.
Alexis looks stunning in HER outfit. Kristl looks - err, like - I dunno - NOT good in HER.
Everything
Krystle ? J ai toujours adoré la façon dont elle prononce son prénom avec ridicule et dégoût
Such AS
In these days threats like that will get you killed. People don't play about their money or the livelihood. 😱
Season 8 of Dynasty... One more step into the series downfall... until season 9 arrived, but it was too late.
What's yours like? lol
Because of Sable?
Rather to Krystle & Alexis playlist; Blake doesn't appear here.
Alexis Colby always looked better than Crystal I don't give a damn what yall say❤ Alexis was a bad b**** that outfit right there took the damn cake Alexis had on ,Crystal had that 1980s part down the middle those wings in her hair,I think every woman had them in the 80s that you could fly away on the tips of those wings🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Alexis's outfits were way before their time and Blake always had Crystal that fur jacket she never had any other kind of minks or furs that looked worth anything most people couldn't stand Alexis because she was the s***❤
Krystle finally getting the upper hand.
With shoulder pads like that. I'm surprised she didn't walk through the door sideways.
Watch me!! 😊
She should have said: “Hide and watch,bitch!”
Krystal Is No Match For Alexis. Sit Down Krystal , Sit Down Hard. 💅🍷 .....
Hm, Cecil and Alexis never cobsummated their marriage so isn't it a null then? 🤔
Probably wouldn't matter since Cecil changed his will to leave all his wealth and half of ColbyCo to Alexis.
@@happydrunkmeansober Yes,With His Brother Ben's Help,Alexis Took The Mansion From Blake And Krystle, But In The End,They Got It Back!!!

It's Called "KARMA "!
It's call karma.
Good grief Krystle looks like a line backer for the Denver Broncos . Ridiculous. Alexis was fabulous as always .
It seems Krystle did swallow a big clothe hanger because her shoulders are very wide in every episode.
Yes, she killed her husband she new knew what she was doing from day one only to go after Blake.
Cecil was a jerk like all the Colbys.
Except Jeff. But There Were Times He Was A JERK To Fallon,When She Was Played By Emma Samms!!! Pamela Sue Martin Took Him For Granted.
