When Dynasty ended their first season, several of the characters’ lives were left in peril. Today, one of the actors told E! News that they were not invited back for the second season.
Nathalie Kelley, who played Cristal Carrington, said, “I haven’t read anything for season 2.” Then she explained why, “I know that I end up with a gunshot wound and in a fire at the end of season 1, and I know that I won’t be filming season 2.” She cannot reveal any more than that because she honestly does not know what happens next.
All she said is, “I know that I’m not going to Atlanta in July, that I’m staying here [in L.A.], and I’ve got my life back.” Wonder what that means? I might be reading too much into that but then again I know I could not wait to get out of Atlanta when I lived there.
Back to her departure, because it is not all about me. I hated her at the beginning of the nighttime soap, but by the end of it, she was my favorite character. I wish they would have killed off Blake instead because his character is so useless and a waste of time. He really does not add anything to the revival like everyone does.
What do think of this spoiler? Are you sad to see her go too?
The CW picked up 10 of their shows for next season and sadly iZombie is not one of them.
What made the list? All five DC shows Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Black Lightning and Arrow are flying into next season. Supernatural is turning the big 1-4. Riverdale finds its sugar, sugar with season 3. Jane the Virgin gives birth to its rumored last season while Crazy Ex Girlfriend keeps on singing songs no one else would dare sing about. The biggest surprise of them all is that Dynasty will also be back. The show that is one of the lowest-rated shows on television will miraculously back for more hijinx.
Besides these 10 shows, The CW added another night of television to their lineup in the fall. Therefore, that means at least two new shows will be joining the 2018-2019 lineup. I am rooting that they consider bringing sitcoms to their lineup. Maybe a Reba revival? The cast is up for it, so let’s make it a reality. That and iZombie!
UPDATE: Rachel Bloom revealed that next season will be Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s last season. She Tweeted, “Just turned on my wifi on our flight to Chicago and found out that #CrazyExGirlfriend has been renewed for a final season.” The cast is on tour promoting the music from the show. I am going to miss that music. My iPod (yes I am old school) loves to play the tunes from the series whenever I drive by the Catholic church near my house. I don’t know if it hates me or is trying to teach that place of worship a lesson? I am going with the latter.

It is the moment that Dynasty fans have been waiting for all season long, and tonight at 8p on The CW Nicolette Sheridan makes her debut as Alexis Carrington. I have to be honest, she is no Joan Collins. Nobody else could ever come close to her. Having said that, she does an impressive job. After all, she has very high stilettos to fill.
The episode starts off at Blake’s (Grant Show) father’s funeral and the family is getting reacquainted with her. Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) has not seen her mother since Alexis took the divorce settlement money and left her two kids to be raised by their father. Therefore, this is not a happy reunion.
Now it is time for the whole family to go back to the house for the reading of the will and they are all shocked that Alexis got their house. Now, they will do everything in the power to stop from that happening.
It is going to be a fight. Well, actually there is a huge fight between mother and daughter that causes both women to get all wet. As in they fall into the pool and continue cat fighting it out until one is victorious. No one is going to dare go down there and break it up. Why would they, this is too good to stop! Meow.
Once they are dry, it is time for the bullets to fly. Literal bullets. What happens next is what we have all been waiting for since September.
Just like Collins saved the original show back in the ’80s, expect the same from Sheridan. After all, she went from being a desperate housewife to a desperate divorcee. What more do you need to check out this campy primetime soap?
When The CW announced that they were remaking Dynasty people were curious what they were going to do with the show, and then the interest stopped once it aired. It wasn’t as cheesy as the original and the changes they made for the characters have not worked. Don’t get me started on the actress who plays Cristal. Basically, it is not that good and it is not doing well in the ratings. Yet it got a full season pick up.
What to do? Bring in Heather Locklear like they did with Spin City and both Melrose Places? She is, sorry to say, too old for this younger version of the series. Therefore, they are going for the next blonde bitch on the list to play Alexis Carrington and they got Nicolette Sheridan. Can the Paper Doll save the show? We shall see, but I will not hold my breath. Although it would be nice if the Desperate Housewife can breath life in to the nighttime soap that is barely watchable. And can I say that because I watch.
Last week, the Dynasty reboot debuted on The CW and none of the original living cast members were in it as a hook. Which could be why it got so many negative reviews. As my friend told me, he likes it as a show but does not like them using the Dynasty legacy to get viewers.
Anyways, over the weekend, Joan Collins, who is Dynasty 1’s biggest and baddest bitch, posted the above photo and said, “Here’s the REAL #Dynasty Spend an evening with Alexis Colby & her schemes! Dynasty: The Complete Series on DVD: cbshe.com/DynCS.” By saying real in all caps, you have to wonder if she is dissing the new version? What do you think? And what did you think of the FAKE Dynasty?
