[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 337920, member: 57984"] When she left the show in 1988, Hunley became the first actor to "out" the show for its rigidly maintained static acting policy (which was painfully obvious and had been for six years). The irony being that that policy had been allowed to lapse a bit during Season 8 and was removed entirely by Paulsen for Season 9 (although Linda, God bless her, had slipped too much/too long into "automatic" to quite ever relax again -- although it wasn't on display in her other projects away from DYNASTY). Sometimes I wonder how much better and more effective Krystle's scene, the one where she learns from Sable that the body in the lake was actually Roger Grimes, would have been had Linda played it the way she would have back in Seasons 1 or 2. But long-before by Season 9, the knob on Linda's semi-shlocky "devastated" default reaction setting was too rusty. Which is why I appreciate the brain gizmo revelation, because it allows me to forgive or rationalize all sorts of things about how Krystle devolved over the years and, hence, the show itself. Hell, Rita Lesley was probably all part of poor Krystle's imagination.
