[QUOTE="Rove, post: 139067, member: 100"] Following on from a major cliffhanger would not be dated in my opinion, especially so with Dynasty 2.0. I think the writers missed a great opportunity not continuing with the fire scene and allowing actors like Grant and Nicollette to flex their acting chops. Watching a scene where one of the characters was physically pulling Alexis to safety while she was screaming out for Cristal would give me hope this Alexis had some moral compass. But the time jump had the Carrington family in party mode. It was c'est la vie to Cristal/Celia and on with the show. What was the point of Alexis running up those stairs screaming out for Cristal in the season ending cliffhanger when in the return season Alexis - in her wheelchair - reverses into Cristal/Celia's ashes, spilling them onto the marble floor. I cringed at that. To me is was just another excuse for the writers to give this version of Alexis another slapstick scene. Enough already[I]! [/I] And here is an interesting observation. Generally with cliffhanger episodes like the fire scene the actors continue filming so that footage can be used in the opening season episode. I mean setting up a scene like that wouldn't be cheap especially when you consider safety. So far we've not seen anything. No flashback scenes...nothing. That's some serious dollars down the toilet so as not to recognise a former actress. Wish I had money to burn like that. [/QUOTE]
