I think this is a rare find from 19851! Linda Evans mention the Moldevia cliffhanger here too

Linda is naturally gracious about Joan Collins.

I wonder what two times prompted Linda to request a meeting with Aaron Spelling?
1. Get Rita out of the attic
2. Get me off the show!

Interesting interview with Joan about her Spectacular fragrance. It's after Dynasty had finished and before the Reunion. Joan mentions that the Reunion miniseries may not go ahead as someone's agent had asked for too much money? I wonder who she's talking about? I guess it could only be one of the leads? John or Linda? As everyone else was probably non-essential to the producers.

I don't know what happened but Joan Collins looks awful in that video. She looks older as she is now. And the interviewer, Bella Shaw, looks like a man with make-up while she was quite pretty at that time :

I agree Joan looks tired and older in the clip. She says she's been all across America with the perfume and probably book signings and the like. I guess she was burned out. The wig/piece she's wearing is pretty awful on her, it's almost yaki texture and it looks off.
The interviewers makeup is very harsh, I think. I love that Joan loves her catalogue outfit.

The show's disinformation agents put out a story that Linda was holding out for more money. Her agent said in the press: "that's a bald-faced lie.'

Linda and John were dragging their feet because the script sucked.

Makes you wonder what horror lurked in that first draft. I mean the Reunion is satanic as it is, how could it be worse?

I don't know if the script was fixed. Aaron nudged John and Linda to get on board lest the cast and crew be put out of work.

I can't upload a video from Tuesday's This Is Us season finale (S5E16) because there is none on YT with those scenes in which Rebecca desperately wants to see the wedding in Moldavia. Rebecca and Jack argue about that for quite a while in the 1985 timeline because the Moldavian Massacre is mentioned later too.

After that a big discussion. A few months later it turns out that Jack knows what happened and spoils it before Rebecca has a chance to watch it.

Ken Olin who spent his time in 1985 at Falcon Crest directed this episode. The dialogue about the show's decline is pure TellyTalk though...

Dynasty does The Love Boat

I wish someone would upload the full episode of Fantasy Island where Joan plays Cleopatra, supposedly the performance that made Aaron and co decide on casting her as Alexis. I have never seen it, and been unable to find it for years. I'm sure it's garbage, as it's Fantasy Island, but I just need to see it.
