Earlier this week, CBS ordered more episodes from all of their new shows. Today The CW did the same thing with its two new shows Nancy Drew and Batwoman. Both shows will be around for 22 episodes.
That means ABC is the only one who has not revealed the fate of any of their news shows. The only other new show waiting to find out how long it will be on the air is NBC’s Perfect Harmony. Hopefully, it will join Bob ♥ Abishola, All Rise, The Unicorn, Carol’s Second Act, Evil, Prodigal Son and not like these two shows that were picked up and not like Almost Human, Bluff City Law and Sunnyside that were not.

Last season when Dynasty left off, they left us with several cliffhangers. Crystal and Blake (Grant Show) got married. As they were saying their I do’s, Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) interrupted their ceremony and told them she sold her publishing company to Kirby (Maddison Brown) for a $1. Kirby, in turn, was going to sell it back to her. However, Kirby said she was not going to sell it back. Then her father, Anders (Alan Dale) told Blake he was quitting to work with Sammy Jo (Rafael de la Fuente) at the hotel he just bought.
Wait, there is more. Adam (Sam Underwood) decided to do something nice for his sister and sent divers into the lake to find her engagement ring from Liam (Adam Hube) that she dropped in there. Instead, they found two bodies including Fallon’s teenage friend who she might have killed when they were 16. Is there a third body in the Carrington water since Adam drugged Liam who fell into the pool?
There is one more dead person, who is not really dead and that is Jeff (Sam Adegoke). His mother, Dominique Deveraux (Michael Michele), and his sister, Monica (Wakeema Hollis) sent him to a secret location so that they can frame Adam for his murder.
That was just the last five minutes of the episode. Tonight at 9p on Thw CW, the episode takes part shortly afterward and the press is covering the crazy Carringtons. That and we get our third Cristal (Daniella Alonso). Hopefully, she will last a whole season like the other 2 because this is getting confusing.
When it comes to what else happens tonight, I am not going to tell you. There are so many surprises, you are going to have to watch it a few times to remember them all. I am on my third viewing and I saw two things I missed. Therefore, you don’t want to miss this episode because it is so so so good. This what nighttime soaps are all about!
It has gotten so much better since the first season, it is one of my favorite shows on television now. If you need something enjoyable to watch, this is the show for you. It is mindless fun and we need that on Fridays!
Tonight at 8p, Riverdale says goodbye to Luke Perry who passed away in March from a stroke. They wanted to give him a proper sendoff and they do.
Archie (KJ Apa) gets a phone call that his father was killed in another town. He runs home to his mom and the funeral director tells them that they cannot pick him up until July 5th because of the holiday on the next day and the parade in Riverdale.
Archie cannot wait that long, so he drives up there with Veronica (Camila Mendes), Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Jughead (Cole Sprouse) to pick his dad up. When they get there, they go to the place where his dad died and he meets the woman who was with him at the time of his death. Then he confronts the person who was also there and learns something about himself.
Now, it is time for him to go home and that is when you need to get the tissues. I cried as much then as when I heard Perry passed away. Riverdale did the proper tribute for a friend to them and us.

Then at 9p, Nancy Drew is back on our TVs and she has another mystery to solve.
Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) had a normal life until her mom died and then she gave up on school. Because of that, she did not apply to college and works as a waitress in her hometown where she lives with her dad (Scott Wolf). There she works with an old classmate George (Leah Lewis), who doesn’t like her. Bess (Maddison Jaizani) who is taking a gap gear in their sleepy town. She is also dating Nick (Tunji Kasim) who has a criminal past.
One night while they are working, a socialite is killed in their small town outside the diner and they are all suspects. Since Nancy has solved a crime before, she thinks she can solve this case too. However, the police don’t want her help.
Will she be able to solve the murder? We will have to tune in every week to find out?

There is something about a good mystery that hooks us in and won’t let us go until we know the truth. Not every mystery is solvable. However, Mysteries Decoded on The CW tonight and every Tuesday at 9p is going to try.
Private Investigator Jennifer Marshall will do her best to get some answers with new evidence which we have not heard before. She a US Navy veteran and that makes her a natural skeptic. Will that work for or against her?
Tonight, she goes to the house where some say Lizzie Borden killed her parents and also the place where she lived after she was acquitted of their murders. She will use mediums who will try to contact Lizzie and her family. Will Lizzie come forward, her father, her stepmother or her sister stop by, to tell the truth? Marshall will also talk to a woman who is writing a book about the notorious murder that led to a famous nursery rhyme, what will she find out?
Next week, they look into The Mothman prophecies. Is the vision of doom real or is it an animal? She will talk to people who have seen it, residents of the town and those familiar with the legend.
As the weeks go one, she will also try to solve the mysteries of Area 51 and the Salem Witch Trials. If these mysteries were closed, then we would not care about them anymore. Since they are not, this show is interesting for people who both know what they are about and those who don’t know anything about these legends.
I watch shows like this all the time, and this one gives a different take of what we have seen done time and time again.
Dynasty is about to begin its third season, and they are getting their third Cristal, their second Cristal Jennings.
Confused? For season 1, Nathalie Kelley played Cristal Flores Carrington. The actress was asked not to return for season 2 and was killed off. She was replaced by Ana Brenda Contreras who starred as Cristal Jennings. She claimed her friend Cristal took her name for a new identity.
Now, Deadline is reporting that Contreras is out and Daniella Alonso is in. Showrunner Josh Reims told the trade, “Unfortunately, Ana Brenda Contreras will not be returning for the third season of Dynasty due to personal reasons. We’d like to thank her for her contributions to the show and wish her all the best. We’re excited to welcome Daniella Alonso who will step into the role of Cristal.”
Contreras is the second actress to leave the nighttime soap for personal reasons. Nicollette Sheridan quit the show earlier this year to be with her dying mother. Elizabeth Gillies temporarily stepped into the role to play her character’s mother.
Therefore, if you do the math that is 3 Cristals and 2 Alexises. Dynasty is more of a soap opera behind the scenes than in front of the camera. Although the final minutes of the season 2 finale were pretty close to perfection.
Season 3 debuts October 11th on The CW with a new Cristal and no Alexis.
