Elaine Hendrix is going to make her Dynasty debut this Friday at 9p, and today The CW gave us our first look at the third Alexis on the nighttime soap. The actress looks just like her TV daughter Elizabeth Gillies. Which is interesting because Gillies played her stepdaughter on Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Gotta love soap operas, you go can go from playing a stepmom on one show to the actual mom on the next one.
Then again, Dynasty has been its own soap when the camera is not rolling. Hendrix is the third actress to play Alexis in as many seasons. Nicollette Sheridan originated the role, but quit to take care of her ailing mom. Gillies was the next one to take on the part, and now Hendrix got the job.
How long will she stay with the show? Only time will tell. What I want to know is, will she have a British accent like Joan Collins and Sheridan? I have a feeling we are not going to find out until 2020.
If you are not watching Dynasty, then you are missing out on the wildest scripted show on television. Each week, it gets crazier and crazier, and that is why it is the must-watch live show of the week for me. Make it yours too!
