[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 363624, member: 57984"] What the producers didn't understand about Krystle and DYNASTY, at least once the flashier Alexis showed up: so goes Krystle, so goes DYNASTY. The brass -- especially Eilleen Pollock -- admitted that they found Krystle "boring" and that they had a hard time writing for Krystle... That should [B]never [/B]have happened. They should have focused on Krystle's strength and intelligence, but they did neither. And Linda's pleas for them to do so were rebuffed, apparently over their concern that it "just wasn't Krystle." If they'd portrayed Krystle as being as competent -- and as relaxed -- as she was in the first couple of years (before the writing for her went south and the static acting directive was implemented) the whole show could have been salvaged. But since they didn't, the A-V malformation became (mostly after the fact) what DYNASTY was relegated into being all about. And thank goodness for it. At the end of the day, Alexis' clothes, Krystle brain gizmo which forced her to morph into Rita's double, and Lady Ashley's mind-bogglingly affected diction and stunningly unnatural gestures, came to define what DYNASTY was at its core. Isn't that weird? [IMG width="709px"]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2UUIQKOFdH4/TKyi7yVWMoI/AAAAAAAAAJs/jMEfOatGvIE/s1600/alexis.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
