[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 335756, member: 57984"] I remember Stephen Birmingham comparing DALLAS and DYNASTY in TVGUIDE in fall of 1983, and he refers to DYNASTY's "nervous" rehashing of events, his pointing out that in real life, people don't have to constantly remind each other of what happened yesterday. He chalked it up to the relative newness of DYNASTY that DALLAS was the much more "confident" show, but that didn't explain why DYNASTY was more nervous in Season 3 than it was in Season 2. But then DYNASTY got into this pattern of reaffirming the characters' relationships to one another, just in case the audience -- or the actors -- couldn't remember. God bless Paulsen for trying to keep this going even in Season 9, almost cheekily, when Blake meets Fallon#2 on the plywood terrace, and she explains to her father how they were related to one another yet again. Of course, with all the DYNASTY recastings, the viewer could be easily confused.
