And then there's the island of Skorpios, the one with the Greek tycoon and his wife, that wretchedly unhappy woman.

Sky Crest dude ranch, in its brief appearance in the second season finale, appears to me as a vastly more interesting property than the Delta Rho farm introduced in season five. Perhaps the Daniel Reece character (not necessarily played by the ailing Rock Hudson) could have been the new owner of Sky Crest instead of Delta Rho, an additional reason for Blake to dislike him.
Season 2 production values successfully depict the ranch as a sprawling, breathtaking property brimming with activity — abundant extras playing the mountain resort staff and the guests, long stables with horses, cottages and even a busy swimming pool in Krystle's background.
Sadly, season 3 places Krystle into a Ranger's HQ cottage for her sedate opening scene and later in what might or might not be her own cottage at Sky Crest. But, Sky Crest as we had seen it in 2x22 is nowhere to be seen again. I wish we had actually seen Blake and Krystle enjoying a cup of that hot buttered rum he was talking about in an impressive hotel lounge with high windows and a crackling fireplace, right after their ordeal.
By the way, I noticed there is also a River Stone trail crossing the Scorpio Peek trail that Blake ended up on. Such details only add to the realism of it.

And who was it that said Spelling was concerned because the show had gone over-budget for the last two episodes of Season 2?

Sort of, but not one called that.
More like "Helen". Sounds so benign, doesn't it?
Just thought I'd post this Helen, GA. video, since it came up in the thread.... Do not go during Oktobrefest -- which now lasts 2 months:

It looks like a huge mini-country in Epcot Center.

Didn't we once have a thread about Scorpio Highway -- perhaps it was on the old soapchat site and crashed with it...?
The idea was that there was this treacherous stretch of road high up in the mountains, probably the route down from Scorpio Peak, where Rita and Joel drove off the highway and down into an abyss (their remains perhaps not discovered for months) and then Krystle and Blake are later driven off the road by a madman at exactly the same spot.
Scorpio Pass?
Is it haunted? Is the mountain air just too thin to maintain sufficient consciousness in order to guide your vehicle with adequate precision?
And there's deadly Scorpio Curve:

Scorpio Curve
In Season 7, when Krystle & Blake were driven off the mountain pass, their limo should have crashed into the remnants of Joel & Rita's car which itself had crashed into the remains of Dr. Toscanni's Jeep. It's the deadliest stretch of road in all of Colorado.

What's nice is when A.I. picks up the things you've made up and then asserts it as being part of the series' actual narrative:
Scorpio Peak is a fictional location in the television series Dynasty, associated with the Carrington family. It is depicted as a picturesque mountain peak that plays a significant role in the storyline, particularly in the character Blake Carrington's quest to acquire it. The peak is mentioned in various episodes, often symbolizing Blake's ambitions and the challenges he faces in his pursuit of power and legacy. The narrative surrounding Scorpio Peak reflects themes of ambition, rivalry, and the complexities of family dynamics within the show.

It would have been nice to have had them mention locations like Scorpio Peak more than once. One problem with DYNASTY is that it mostly lacked a sense of place --- and that's not just because they almost never filmed on location as the other '80s wealth-based nighttime soaps did. A lot of it had to do with references (or lack thereof). And a lack of a cohesive "center" for the show. (Unlike Southfork and "Braddock" for DALLAS, and the early seasons of FALCON CREST).
How many times did DYNASTY mention "The Village" after Season 3? Was that the same hamlet as "Harmon Springs" (which I don't think was named until Season 7 -- correct me if I'm wrong)?
I have this alternative DYNAST-ic reality where Blake finally acquires Scorpio Peak, which he's been after for thirty years, which stands just to the west of the mansion. This leads to Blake's and Alexis' deal, two-thirds of the way through Season 6, to create a nature sanctuary (to quell the concerns of the environmentalists over Alexis' excessive parfum utilization that's polluting Colorado's air west of Denver).
And there's shabby, rural Scorpio Cemetery, discretely nestled at the north-western foothills of the mountain, where Roger Grimes' body is eventually interred during Phantom Season 10.

There's this woman on YouTube, Marina Coates, who does 3D renderings of houses and apartments from TV shows and movies. I've already seriously considered having her make a model of my own version of the MacKenzie house in my "Peyton Place" remake. Maybe you should consider getting her to create a model of this map of yours'?
