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 announced their fall schedule today and there is some stability and some changes. Monday starts off with Legends of Tomorrow, and then Arrow gets another new night. Tuesdays are this same as the midseason. Wednesdays start with Riverdale but ends with the new show All American which is about a football player. Supernatural stays as is, but it gets the new show Legacies. Fridays will include Dynasty and Crazy Ex Girlfriend, which even though I watch, will have a hard time finding an audience. Then there Sunday night a female-driven night with Supergirl and the Charmed reboot.
Now comes the sad news for me, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin and iZombie are all going into their final seasons next year and the latter 2 will not debut until the midseason. I am going to miss them, especially Crazy Ex that gave us a lot of songs no one else would attempt to do. Having said that, I wish they would have aired Jane in the fall because I need to know what happens next after that season finale.

Fox is doing a big FU to his fans. Yesterday, they cancelled The Last Man on Earth, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Mick. Today, they followed it up by doing the same to Lucifer and Exorcist. I could care less about the latter, but the former really hurts. It was a thrilling show with a great ensemble cast that played off each other well. To top it off, the show’s EP Joe Henderson wrote, “We created a season finale with a huge cliffhanger so that there was no way Fox could cancel us. Instead, we’re going to frustrate the hell out of you fans. I’m so sorry for that. #Lucifer.” I think of all of the shows this is the one that has the best chances of getting picked up by someone else. On a positive note, they revived Last Man Standing.
The CW was very nice to me today because they picked up iZombie for a fifth season. Which completes all of their renewals and cancellations. CBS, on the other hand, did not pick up or cancel anything today.
Over NBC they cancelled the heartfelt Rise that they did not do enough to promote. They also gave bad news to Great News. They were also not brave enough to renew Brave.
ABC like every year goes cancelling crazy because I do not think they know what they are doing. They picked up Speechless, Black-ish, American Housewife, Fresh Off the Boat, Splitting Up Together, For the People, Station 19 and How to Get Away Murder for another season. But they cancelled Designated Survivor, Deception, The Crossing, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, The Inhumans, Quantico and Alex, Inc. Basically, they cancelled all the dramas that are not produced by Shonda Rhymes. What type of world do we live in that the fake president gets impeached before the real one? Kiefer Sutherland is a much better president than the one we have now.
As my DVR has a huge party, I am crying tears for all the shows I lost today. Doing a Marlon Brando, “Stella” scream but replacing it with all the shows I lost. And there were a lot.
Even though Stella survived cancer, her show Life Sentence will not live to see a second season. Lucy Hale broke the news on Twitter today, “I was emotionally attached to this story and to everyone involved so I am a little shell shocked right now, but I feel fortunate that we got to tell a really beautiful story.”
It really is a beautiful story that, like her, I wish could have continued. Sadly though, people were not watching this heartwarming family drama. That is what made this show so wonderful, it was about a family who truly loved each other during the good times and the bad ones. I guess people would rather watch the murder of the week, than a well-written heartfelt drama. Their loss and ours too.
At least we have a few more episodes, Fridays at 9p, to enjoy before it goes to TV heaven
UPDATE: The CW has also cancelled the military drama Valor after one short season.
