You mean that the alien on the spaceship that we see in the shows last episode was actually a Miles Colby doppelganger!
Any wonder Fallon was so mesmerised! I would be too, if someone abducting me looked exactly like Miles Colby.

Everybody hates Frankie! I saw a late 70s TV movie with Katharine Ross.
I couldn’t believe how much better looking and believable she was as a home-wrecking whore.
This was just 6 years before The Colbys. It’s called “Murder by Natural Causes”.
“Abraham Lincoln” and “Zachary Amberville” are in in it, too.

Like Ali McGraw, Katharine Ross was much more beautiful with the natural 70's look. The sophisticate 80's look did not fit either of them (but especially Ali McGraw).

I love her. Not in the same way I love Krystle of course, but she had this uncanny talent of bringing out the worst in Sable, and the funny thing is that she never meant to do it.
Sable mentions (was it in the very first episode?) that she's always been jealous of her sister and it's easy to see why: Frankie never had to cultivate her life or image, she never had to make an effort.
And then, on top of everything, she effortlessly takes everything away from Sable. And not even because she wants it so badly.
Alexis could justify her home-wrecking shenanigans because she was a sociopath, Frankie could justify it because she was completely ignorant. Oddly enough, much of that clueless characterization spilled over in Katharine Ross' performance, and that's why I consider her the best-worst casting choice.
It shouldn't work, but it does. It certainly does for Sable and the many frustrating situations she finds herself in, time after time - and despite her relentless scheming and plotting.
It's so much more fun than the banal bitch vs. bitch in Dynasty's season 9 (although they had some great moments, too).
Maybe I'm a weird person but I just don't understand that other fans don't see how much disliked characters like Frankie, Chase Gioberti and Diana Fairgate have contributed to all the drama. Not because they were "sexy" or "fabulous" or "formidable" but simply because they were there.
And "being there" in a soap usually means "being there at the wrong time in the wrong place, and in company of the wrong sister".

You've also defended -- and quite rightly -- the cast of Helmut Berger in the role of Peewee Devilbus. because he hits that Eurotrash (is that racist?) note more correctly than any other actor possibly could. (But because DYNASTY was such a creative mess, his casting just came off as another fumble).
You're right, of course, about Frankie. Her oblivious effortless usurping entitlement is what made the character work. But that's what made her such a whore!

Just like Julia dying and resurrecting every year on "Falcon Crest", Fallon should have been played by a different actress every season too, with no excuse at all... But... wasn´t this what NuDynasty did with Krystle...?
I've often thought Blake should kill one of Steven's lovers every season. Only consoling his son when one of the boyfriends dies at the hands of someone else (like Luke). Also with no explanation for the contradiction.

I want Dana's body found in the basement with the Nazi treasure. She never left the house.

Season 10 (super-ignoring the Reunion)
Blake is carted off to Denver Memorial but the only doctor who can help him is working at Colby Memorial, Alexis' new rival hospital.
Fallon and Kristina find a way to escape (because what else can they do) leaving Dennis Grimes' body behind.
Kristina tells Fallon "there's glowing!" but Fallon replies "never mind, let's get out of here".
Near the end of the episode, a mystery person enters the basement, and with mysteriously gloved hands the person wrenches the crystal skull from Dana's stiff fingers that are desperately clutched around the mysteriously glowing artefact.
It ends in Switzerland where the evil staff of the Swiss clinic discusses/explains that the crystal skull's glow, when placed in a secret cave in Mount Rushmore, projects the exact position of Die Glocke on the wall.
They have already figured out that the skull had ended up in Denver, and Krystle is going to be their unsuspecting spy.

I was going to say Bliss because who would notice but then I realizewd that might mean losing the neon fireplace and Kolya. Kolya was enough to watch just standing there for an hour.
This.
