Because although it's the same character it's a different acting gig. It's a different production by the same studio/network. The rights would be held by the creators though. Or the creators and ABC jointly probably, but I would imagine that Dynasty could use anything that was first mentioned on it in any way they wanted. And Blake gives a rundown of the Colby family in season 6 to Rita. So those characters are all Dynasty characters first.
Well until I had seen The Colbys I had just assumed that Alexis and Sable's feud was born out of Alexis being devious and sleeping with Jason or lying about it to bother Sable. It isn't beyond her or a stretch to think that considering what she did to Krystle. I didn't like Jeff as a character anyway most of the time so I didn't care about his hardly talked about off screen family in California. Again not an unusual thing in a soap. Then when I finally did get to see all of The Colbys these things seemed rather insignificant when presented with the fact that none of the Colby family recognised their cousin Fallon and stood in silence when Miles presented her as his new wife. I mean, if you are going to talk about inconsistencies.
But not Hutch, Channing, Scott, Cash, Adriene, right? And not Zach either. Nor Jason's grandfather, Lucas, house help, etc.
They would be the property of the creators of the show. In this case the Shapiros. As the Shapiros created Dynasty and The Colbys they could have any characters cross between shows if the actors agreed to do so. If an actor was hired for Dynasty only they wouldn't have to make cross over appearances on The Colbys but they could if they wanted to. If The Colbys had went on, possible future contracts could have added that cross overs may be required, or negotiations with actors could have taken place.
Developing a show isn't the same as creating a show though is it? Wasn't Cynthia Cidre credited as developing a show, created by David Jacobs when she did TNT Dallas? I could have sworn that season 1 of The Colbys was created by The Shapiros and The Pollocks, but it's a while since I have watched and seen the actual credits.
Yes, it was always my understanding that The Colbys universe existed broadly before it was brought to Huson and Bast who more or less embellished and expanded on what the Shapiros and Pollocks presented to them.
Yes and no. The Colbys was created by the Shapiros and the Pollocks but the bibles of both seasons were written soly by Bast and Huson. Basically, the only idea that the Shapiros and the Pollocks had was to send Jeff and Fallon in California with a Colby family.
I do look for these things from time to time. It's how I managed to get very interesting documents (like the bibles of both seasons of "the Colbys" and bibles for seasons 3, 5, 6 and 7 of "Dynasty" + several documents on the retooling of season 6).How on earth do you find these things? I wouldn't even know what to search for on Google.
But almost the entire Colby family crossed over from DYNASTY. Miles, Monica, Jason, Sable, Connie and possibly Bliss, I cant recall. As well as Garret Boydston all first appeared on DYNASTY. Huson and Bast had nothing to do with that. They were presented these characters after they were already created by the shapiros and the pollocks.
Try the Dark Web
You've been saved from a life of crime because of not knowing the numbers. See I always knew maths was evil and should be stopped. Maths leads to crime!I actually tried that some time ago for like a whole afternoon, out of curiosity. Installing that Tor-Browser was a little complicated already, but i could not even find a proper search engine there, where i could type in things like .. drugs ... or guns... you know. The pages on there have no names, just numbers and you have to know that number to get on that page and i didn't know how to find those numbers either ... so i gave it up. Maybe it was for the best.
He was talking about Jeff and the Carringtons. Jason, Sable and co were their creations even though they first appeared in "Dynasty". The characters are developped on several pages on their bible for season 1 (for instance, it is stated that Sabella is Sable's real name - even though only Zach Powers called her like that on the show - and that she and Frankie were born in San Francisco). The Colbys are barely mentioned (if not mentioned at all) in the bible of the 6th season of Dynasty written by Diana Gould.
Yes, they drafted some ideas about of how Jeff could be involved in the spin-off but that's all. But, as you said, they were also supervising producers which mean that they were available for Bast and Huson if they need their help.
Because the created the concept. The Pollock were not listed as creators of Dynasty and yet they created several main characters for instance (mainly Alexis and Adam).
