Reply to "Dynasty"

The first Alexis-Krystle catfight was by far the best. A friend of mine from back in the day used to say that he only liked Krystle when she was fighting. And I agree Alexis was the centerpiece of the show and such a point of identification for gay men on many levels. First for her grand dramatic diva entrance at Blake's trial, then for the way she took in her tormented gay son after he'd suffered so much rejection, alienation and torment at the hands of his domineering father. I think that's why the Fallon character was popular with gay boys too ... because she was always cool with Steven's gayness and was his secret "ally" in the family, and I think many gay boys saw their own sisters in her. And of course she was also a total slut, and most gay boys know about that too!

And on the subject of Pamela Sue Martin, a quick sidebar: anyone remember her from The Poseidon Adventure? She had the fiercest diva turn in the whole film when Gene Hackman says, "okay, time to climb the Christmas tree, but you'll have to ditch the long gown". Pamela Sue Martin, wearing high heels and a full-length red velvet skirt, says, "okay!" and in one swift movement velcros off the skirt and casts it aside to reveal matching red velvet short-shorts underneath. Work, bitch!
