Message: <blockquote data-quote="James from London" data-source="post: 260085" data-attributes="member: 22">Carousel (21 Dec 83) v Catch 22 (DYNASTY, 10 May 89)Alexis and Fallon show off their recently acquired love interests in Carousel, Dex Dexter and Peter de Vilbis respectively, both of whom are comparatively scrawny compared with your average C21st hunk, or even Father McBicep, whom Sammy Jo finds playing shirtless basketball in Catch 22 six years later.PdV, like Miles Colby two years later, is a rich playboy whom Fallon meets under horse-related circumstances in California. A lot of his dialogue appears to be dubbed and, given that he still sounds like he’s talking backwards, . it’s hard to imagine how incomprehensible he must have sounded to begin with.  He's posh and snooty, and Jeff is rankled when he sees him treating a waiter at the Carousel Ball like crap. In this regard, PdV is about as far away as you can get from Fallon’s Season 9 boyfriend: funny, down to earth Zorelli, who nonetheless also pisses Jeff off while they're staking out Captain Handler’s apartment: “You know, Zorelli, had I known you were gonna be having an eight-course meal, we’d have taken your car.”“Anyone who puts her in danger is going to answer to me for the rest of my life!” Jeff vows at the end of Carousel after PdV takes Fallon for a reckless spin in his dinky little plane. He's as good as his word when, in Catch 22, he trains a gun on Handler while Blake throttles him with a poker in order to get him to reveal Fallon’s whereabouts (the Carrington mineshaft where she's currently being buried alive having been taken hostage and almost raped at gunpoint by Dennis Grimes, to be precise).Back in '83, Lex/Dex (the Brangelina of their day) are a none-more-eighties power couple for whom games of onemanupship in the bedroom and boardroom are indivisible. While Alexis is keen to dismiss their Calgary fling as an out-of-town one-night-stand, Dex, who doesn’t have her suitcases full of soap opera baggage to carry around, is keen to turn it into the romance of the century. He’s in a not dissimilar position with Sable in Catch 22 — she wants to do the whole independent woman thing when he wants to be a father to their unborn child. Finally, he decides he's had enough of Sable and Alexis. “Sorry, girls, but I’ve run out of cheeks to turn,” he announces, before plunging off a balcony to his untimely death.And the winner is ...
