who ever is casting for this show needs there job replaced
They are trying way too hard to be original from a classic series and misfiring. Like you said, some of that, the majority, is in casting. Miscast Alexis, miscast Crystal and a fail on sami joe ruined what could have been fun viewing once again.
Who’s Crystal?
Parker Bena
I think they are speaking of Crystal/Krystal Harrington as played by Linda Evans. That WAS a good show.
I disagree. For the most part, the casting on this series has been spot on. People expecting a mirror of the original series, especially at this point, really need to give it up.
adam, I totally agree with you. It’s largely because of those poor casting choices that I gave up on this reboot midway through its second year. It really just got to be a joke.
James, the one good thing that arises from disasters like nuDYNASTY is our yen to grab those DVDs and wallow in the originals. Same thing when they remade THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, MY COUSIN RACHEL, REBECCA, and so many others. How I miss the great TV I grew up with, from THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and ALL IN THE FAMILY to DYNASTY and KNOTS LANDING, my favorite. We’ll never see those days again. Which we could live with if our choices today weren’t so dismal. How many FBI, CSI, NCIS, and LAW & ORDER spinoffs can there be? And these… Read more »
Soaphound, I appreciate your reply, and I hear you! Any reboot faces certain scrutiny in how it compares with the original. Like you, I loved Dynasty, Knots Landing, and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. And it can seem like Hollywood (or New York) cannot come up with an original idea. Some of these so-called sitcoms are so contrived and painful. I should clarify that I don’t knock this new actor in the role of Dex on Dynasty. I wish him well. Further, I have enjoyed the actress who plays Fallon and the actor who played Steven, but so many others… Read more »

Sorry for butting into your interesting chat with Soaphound.I loved all those old nighttime soaps I called them, especially Knots Landing, and did either of you watch Peyton Place? Iam embarrassed to admit that I watch all the shows you mentioned James plus Chicago PD and all that Soaphound named. Of course I watch Greys Anatomy and my most favorites, The Good Dr and Blue Bloods.
Hello Violet! Please feel free to chime in anytime! I did not watch Peyton Place. I watched Greys Anatomy for several years. I’ve heard good things about the other shows you mentioned. I tend to DVR my three Law & Order shows on Thursday nights and watch them on the weekend. Take care, Friend!

I also record most stuff, or I wouldn’t get any sleep, also I have to be ready to FF when they start biting noses off and the other things they’ve done on the new L&O one. That one gets pretty intense.
Sometimes when we look back, though, we don’t find what we remember! I look back at the original Dynasty, and the writing was over the top, much of the acting was melodramatic and atrocious (even by series leads), and it is almost a parody of itself, if that’s possible. The thoughts we have of those shows don’t necessarily reflect what the show was about … it was about the time in our lives that the original shows were airing. They are nostalgic because they take us back to a time when our own lives were simpler … and we could… Read more »
CW’s Dynasty is a fresh / humorous take on the classic ABC series. I thoroughly enjoy the show. Like the original, the show is a pure escape.
this new version of Dynasty is an unavowable pleasure… chuuuut….
can’t wait to discover the new Dex!
I can
I hope to hear a deep “hello Dex” spoken by Alexis very soon. I also hope he leaves the show in the same hysterical fashion that the original Dex did. It was part of a cliffhanger a year or 2 after the wedding massacre.
