‘Dynasty’ Reveals Its Recast For Nicollete Sheridan As Alexis Carrington In Cliffhanger Moment
Talk about a major soapy twist the reminds of some of the best and outrageous classics of the genre! Friday’s episode of Dynasty offered up a shocker in an episode aptly titled and an oh-so clever one at that, “How Two-Faced Can You Get?” And, as you watch the installment unfold, you think the “two-faced” in the title is about Fallon (Elizabeth Gilles) and Kirby’s (Maddison Brown) friendship when it comes to a certain man, but that was just the appetizer.
This episode served to reveal who is the replacement for Nicollette Sheridan in the key role of Alexis Carrington. As viewers know, Sheridan announced her departure from the series to attend to personal family matters. Dynasty fans last saw Sheridan on the March 22nd episode of the series.
SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH THE EPISODE BEFORE READING
In story, Adam (Sam Underwood) who is seriously psycho and hell-bent on major revenge has a face-off with his mother, Alexis (then played by Sheridan). He confronts her and knows she fudged DNA evidence to make it look as if Hank was her true biological son. Adam walked in on his mother burning the evidence of fake DNA test and interrupts her in the process. After being caught, she fessed up to what she did … saying she did it all, because she was desperate to get her family back,

Next, Adam tells her to burn the rest of the evidence, and while her back is turned and as she is kneeling in front of the fireplace, Adam pushes her face into the fire. And that sets the stage for the reveal of the new actress set to play Alexis, since Alexis has to undergo extensive plastic surgery to heal her burns, We also note on that episode that Adam poisoned his “other” mother with a fatal overdose of her medication, and apparently that mom was a drug addict.
Now on to the final moments of the just aired Friday episode. We cut to a scene where in the hospital, the bandages are being removed from Alexis’ face. And we see her exclaim how youthful she looks! Then, Adam comes by with flowers for his mother, saying he wants to see how she looks. When she turns around it is revealed that the part is now being played by Elizabeth Gilles who also plays Fallon! Adam looks very happy! How twisted! Looks like these two plotted together to bring down the Carringtons; by changing Alexis’ face to Fallon’s? Stay tuned.
Gilles took to her Twitter account on Saturday and asked the fans, “How’d we feel about last night’s #Dynasty?”
So, what do you think of Elizabeth Gilles as the new Alexis, now that it looks like Fallon will have a doppelgänger? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

I think this was a brilliant move despite what others feel. It is so classic soap! I also think this is a storyline move and wouldn’t be overly surprised if this was a temporary casting move until another actress can take over the role.
I did not think the show could get any worse, boy was I wrong.
I don’t know what Dynasty is so I don’t care LOL
It’s supposedly a soap?
I never heard of so it can’t be anything good..
How have you never heard of Dynasty? You need to check it out! It’s all kinds of soap-y goodness!
This show is going to he double hockey sticks….so sick of the Hope/Flo/Steffy/liam/Baby storyline ……
I, for one, was shocked and am loving the twist of this cliffhanger! It was all kinds of soapy goodness, and I know that Liz Gillies is going to rock this storyline out of the park!
I was surprised and yet, not. Weeks ago Adam gave the plastic surgeon a picture to use as reference when they were taking Alexis out of the room for surgery. It crossed my mind that it might have been Fallons’ picture. Still, seeing out that pulled it off was entertaining.
yuck! I give up on this show.
Not a fan…. The show was a great mix of soap drama and humor. I really enjoyed laughing and routing for Fallon or Alexis.
This plot is bound to fail and make the show a parody more than a dramedy. I was so hoping for a change in actress that wouldn’t be so farcical. Not sure what’s next since most stories are 2-3 episodes as opposed to an entire season.
Laughs will ensue but for a short period
Just exactly how many times can one show jump the shark?!?!?!
Is this Dynasty or PASSIONS? HOW STUPID. What a dumb plot. This show won’t make it past the 3rd season. Sad. It had potential to be great. And REALLY bad casting of Adam Carrington. He is slimy and wimpy. Steven also gone, and the plot with the REAL Cristal Flores. DUMB AS HELL.

Schreiber will play tennis coach Paul Cohen, a famous instructor who worked with several leading tennis players including John McEnroe and Pete Sampras, amongst others.

Chapman posted on her Facebook page: “Pleased to leak the latest … I will be playing “Just Say No” NANCY REAGAN in Will Smith’s new film..”KING RICHARD” about Venus & Serena’s Dad and their rise to Tennis Fame! Last year TALLULAH…HAH! The Life of an Actor!!”

TONIGHT: Elizabeth Gilles is Fallon the Chanteuse In ‘Dynasty’s’ Film Noir Episode Directed By B&B’s Heather Tom
We love hearing more of Elizabeth Gilles (Fallon) singing on CW’s Dynasty and now tonight with the Friday, February 21st episode of the primetime soap, viewers will hear Gilles for the third time this season.
During the special film noir episode entitled: “You See Most Things in Terms of Black and White,” Fallon croons to her man, Liam (Adam Huber) with the classic song, “Why Try to Change Me Now”.
In story, Fallon plans a special gesture for Liam, who gets a significant career opportunity. Elsewhere on tonight’s installment look for: Blake and Cristal to contend with their new house guest, while Adam seeks help from Alexis and Jeff, and Sam tries a different kind of relationship, while Kirby pines for her crush.
And tonight’s episode was directed by five-time Daytime Emmy winner, and The Bold and the Beautiful’s Heather Tom (Katie) .
Tom took to her Instagram and shared: “My episode of #dynasty airs tonight 9pm on the CW!! This was such a joy to direct! The cast was ah-mazing!!! @lizgillz and @hubersworld rocked every scene. And spoiler alert!!!! Liz has TWO musical numbers- I swear her voice is other worldly! Thanks to everyone @cw_dynasty for such awesomexperience! #director #directorslife #love #drama #guiltypleasure #noir #retro #wardrobe #shoes (seriously speaking as a shoe freak this show is insane- I made sure to highlight them! @cbsentdiversity @thecw”
Gilles has been getting a lot of play lately with many believing she is also appearing on The Masked Singer in the Kitty costume. But many believe, she is not under that outfit.
As many know, Elizabeth made her debut as a singer on the Nickelodeon series Victorious with the single “Give It Up” in 2011, singing alongside none other than Ariana Grande.
So will you be catching tonight’s Dynasty and the many talents of Ms. Gilles? Comment below. But first check out a clip of her singing below!

DYNASTY Returns And Alexis Makes Her Presence Known
The back half of the third season of CW’s Dynasty kicks-off tonight and while Blake (Grant Show) is on trial, it’s nuAlexis who comes and shakes things up.
As viewers saw in the fall finale, Elaine Hendrix made her debut as the new Alexis Carrington, following the exit of Nicollette Sheridan and then the one-time episode where it looked like Elizabeth Gilles (Fallon) had taken over the role.
Fast-forward to tonight’s episode, Hendrix comes into her own in the role made soap-famous by Joan Collins back in the 80’s. In story, we find out that Alexis is married to Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke)!
Hendrix told TV Line on the pairing: “Depending on who you ask and which P.O.V. you’re coming from, they’re putting it out there to the world that they love each other, but of course nobody believes them. Personally, I think she really does care about Jeff.”
How does Alexis’ return impact her daughter, Fallon? How does her testimony wreak havoc on Blake’s trial? Stay tuned.
Excited to see what Hendrix brings to the role of Alexis when she swings into action on the rest of the season of Dynasty? Comment below.
