Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Torrance" data-source="post: 225476" data-attributes="member: 719">I believe that was an early version of what eventually became Spelling's Hotel. I have always wanted a DYNASTY spin-off to have its timeslot after DYNASTY, and I think had it premiered in 1983 at that slot it would have had a better fate. But the love-boat-style nature of the Hotel concept was not really a Dynasty spin-off or of the soap genre. I think it's weird that they ended up saddling Fallon with a Hotel anyway on Dynasty--perhaps it was their way of punishing her. Something tells me this is the usual Joan Collins self-aggrandizing memory rewriting the past. I doubt there was ever such talk. The hotel one is the version I have heard through the years, and at some early point of discussing the spin-off during season 5 there was talk of Amanda indeed marrying off to Moldavia and following the intrigue there, but ABC hated the idea and wanted something "very close to DYNASTY."</blockquote>
