Hollywood obsessed interviews Gordon Thomson for 40 mins on Dynasty https://www.hollywoodobsessedthepodcast.com/episode-36-discussing-his-devious-ways-on-dynasty-with-gordon-thomson-part-2/

It's Oscar weekend and we all know that Dynasty liked to throw a party. Each season had a memorable party but what was the best? Weddings not included.

May 1st is the 40th anniversary premiere of Dynasty in the UK in 1982. The first couple of seasons aired on Saturday nights, before switching to Sunday and then settling in its regular Friday night slot for the rest of its run. Who else remembers watching the premiere in the UK? @James from...

After the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, Emma Samms spoke on Twitter: 1/3 This AWFUL tragedy on #Rust is unfathomable to me. If all on-set protocols were being adhered to, how, on earth, could it have happened? After what happened to Brandon Lee and my dear friend Jon-Erik Hexam, the firearm...

I just read that Doug Cramer has passed away today. He was the Executive Producer of Dynasty, The Colbys, Wonder Woman, Loveboat among other hits.

Very long interview with John James for the 40th anniversary. https://youtu.be/0cxplq0BqYU Good to see that John has a framed picture of him and Pamela Sue behind him. There's another less Dynasty centric interview with Stephanie Beacham

Has anyone else wondered why Tony doesn’t appear in season 3? He’s introduced in the last third of season 2 (actually he’s played by a blonde haired actor when Fallon is skeet shooting earlier in the season), but after The Two Princes episode he doesn’t appear until the second episode of Season...

At a good break point in the play script…so here’s my best shot at remembering those days! I had been a protege of Rita Lakin and she recommended me. No I didn’t. But then, Rita was a seasoned pro, who had made her way up a very difficult ladder for women in those days. She had...

Frank Furino the co-writer of Dynasty Season 7 and 8 has agreed to an interview. He says he wrote about 10 episodes during this period and was a story editor too. If you send me your questions I will email him tonight. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0298908/

Sad to hear that John Saxon has died at the age of 83. He gave an amusing and flamoyant turn as Rashid Ahmed in Seasons 2, 4 and 5 and should have been kept as a recurring character to cause problems for the Carringtons.

I've always thought Dynasty's opening credits were very well done. As Jostein Gripsrud says in "The Dynasty Years" book they speak of 'solid, clever, craftsmanship'. But I've always wondered why there were some anomalies. For example; Rock Hudson's credit stands out in not having the fountain...

Interesting article from the Orlando Sentinel dated 30th January 1986 just before the retooling episodes started airing. All things must pass. Civilizations. Empires. Dynasty. ABC's dog-eat-dog nighttime serial has apparently had its day. No. 1 in prime time last season, Dynasty wasn't even...

Emma revealed that she is self isolating and is in Day 10 of having Coronavirus in her home in the Cotswolds. Let’s hope she has a speedy recovery. Deaths are doubling now in the UK

If you're in lockdown, these podcasts with various Dynasty (and Dallas) stars are fun to listen to: 2 Gordon Thomson interviews, Peter Mark Richman and an earlier Terri Garber one https://hollywoodandbeyond.podbean.com And Mark Withers who played Ted Dinard...

Now we all know there's a lot of speculation on this forum about why Ed Ledding, an associate producer on Dynasty's season 1 and producer on season 2, disappears at the end of the second season. Coinciding with what some see as a sharp dip in quality at the beginning of season 3. Listening to...

You can read large chunks of Peter Mark Richman's autobiography aka Andrew Laird on Google Books...

I've been enjoying this new podcast by two guys, like a live version of this forum with some insightful and funny analysis - the first 17 episodes are online https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/dynasty-as-they-wanna-be

We've often discussed what would have been if Jon Erik Hexum was cast as Dex following his appearance with Joan Collins in The Making of a Male Model. But would he have worked opposite Catherine Oxenberg's Amanda? I found this clip of the pilot of Cover Up with scenes between Hexum and...

Interesting extract from Rita Lakin's memoirs 'The Only Woman in the Room' about her time writing on Dynasty. She was paired with Laurence Heath during the latter half of Season 7 after the retooling. I imagine the producers wanted a more woman's point of view for the mothers storyline. Before...
